"The 300 Spartans" WoG scenario

songfx

not equipped!

I think that is the reason.

Shbher

Now 59 pages left in my word document.
【Athanasia】is translated. .
I thought I will finish this object within one month.

神圣凤凰

Errr,it's a long time since I played this map,so I can't send a save now.
I'm waiting for the Chinese version.Then I will try it again.

Salamandre

Yes, when leaving artefacts, WoG is looking in the backpack, not equipped artefacts. It always was like that.

Shbner, good luck! You are da man.

神圣凤凰

I wonder that whether the map I uploaded here is the latest version of Empire3?

Salamandre

Yes this is the latest version, which is very different from all chinese versions. No commanders, no level 8 creatures. And it works :)

神圣凤凰

But it shows wogify options.

Should I choose cancel?
And I think it is bad that the map shows wogify options in the begining,which may make the map very strange.
Are you willing to disable it?(I know it's released very early.)

怎么我没看到有WOG化的选项?

神圣凤凰

你玩中文版的吧

Salamandre

The original TEWIII version comes with a dat file, which contains all the needed wogify options. So, just place the dat into /maps and click yes to wogify process.

I never knew how to introduce the "warfare" script as custom script, thus my dat file. With dat the map works perfectly, and with the tested scripts. Without the dat can't be played. All the map is requiring the warfare script as a base for fights.

But, if I understand well the problem, the chinese WoG version can't handle a dat english version file. Thats why they had to change. With WoG 3.58 english version, the map runs perfectly.

But if I click yes,then I will show map rules,which makes me really confused.
I don't want to spoil the map,so I always click cancel.

Salamandre

Yes, it is right. It will show map rules choosen from the custom dat file. The map MUST be wogified, thats how the .dat files work. If you cancel, it will cancel all my scripts, so map will be unplayable.

I guess you never played with a .dat file and that why you are confused. Just place the .dat in Heroes/maps and click "Yes" to wogify.

Then the map rules may change the map very much!Do you have any suggestion?I'm afraid that imappropriate settings will spoil the map.

Actually,I had already through this map twice.
First time I play this map for double movement and upgrade 7th level into 8th level.
Second time I didn't wogify this map,but it doesn't matter.

Salamandre

What settings? The settings are imported from the .dat., whatever you choose.

Steps:

1) Initialize your wog settings to "default" and save.
2) Place the .dat in /maps
3) Start the game and click yes when asked to wogify.

Thats all. The wogification will import rules from the .dat, not from your rules.

**Question: do you have the .dat file?

神圣凤凰

……Of course I have.
The settings means the map rules.You mean that the map rules are unchangable?
Maybe I had put the .dat into a wrong files.

Salamandre

The .dat has to be placed in /Maps folder. The rules will be imported from custom dat. Ask Yunnings for additional explanations, I am not sure you understand me, maybe he can help, as he knows this stuff.

songfx

I know a little about how to edit such dat file.

I have tried loading your dat file into WOG setting, and make some changes then save dat file. It works too.

In chinese version, Yunings help me to introduce most of scripts as custom scripts. But scripts doesnt work.

Salamandre

Thats ok, but I cannot guarantee that the map will work with other options. TEWIII was carefully tested with the original .dat, any change will screw it.

The scripts I could not use as custom were:

1) Creature banks set to unvisited every 28 days and offer harder battles + rewards.
2) Warfare

Thats why I used a .dat. Now, if someone finds a way to use them as custom, the map could be redone without a .dat. But I still can't see why a .dat bothers so much. Many WoG maps work with a .dat.

Do you mean that when the map rules appears,what I should do is just click yes and don't change it?

By the way,it seems that the map will run perfectly even I choose not to wogify it.

Salamandre

No, it will not work later, because the .dat file contains the "creature banks" and "warfare" script. So, yes, early the game will work, but later you will be stuck.

Just click "Yes" when asked to wogify and you will have a perfect game.
