AOE3 Forums

Posted by: MarshDarsh ...I keep making sockets for trading posts, but in the game I can't build them. It won't let me. Is this a glitch? Is there a patch I can download to fix it?...

This sounds as if you use the scenario editor. Make sure you place the trade route sockets for Gaia player (mother nature). Also, better install the new AOE3 patch v1.02 online.
If you mean the building in a RMS, then hold on, I will add these commands in the next patch of the tutorial.

Tutorial was updated yesterday.
The link is the same (on top).

I will bump this topic, since ES is too lazy to make it sticky...
And, also to avoid newcomers to ask the same questions in this forum for a few 100 times ...

Merry Xmas from Hyena Studios.

about the Winter wonderland map do you havew too turn that to text?

Hi M0nTy_PyTh0n ,

my name is bernd and i ve created a cool map with ur help by ur script...
The map works perfectly when i play single-campaign, when i play in the internet(online) it will also work (when i select 3 KI-Players and me......), BUT when i wonna play with other peoples.... maybe after 20 sec. there will appear, we knew it all:"Sync.-Error", can u help me that this map will work online, i just wonna bring some fun with cool maps inthere,
My Map is defined by one .xml and one .xs File, as is said it works....
maybe can i send u my files for testing and can u retourn it to me.....
there is another question, when i want to place (on any defined areas or defined locations) the "fixed_gunbase" and the "fixed_gun" itselfs how can i place the gun on the socket so that it will work(with rotating and firing...), it is always placed beside on the ground but not on the socket, or even just not shown.....
!! HELP !!

nice greetings Bernd

Hi M0nTy_PyTh0n ,

its me bernd,
another question : any idea how to create a fort which can be placed per random at any location:4 Nongaiaplayers(each one has a fort/ and 4 Gaiaplayers(each one has a fort).
The fort includes:"medium_walls/edges turned in the right position/a gate and the big_guns..... .
The fort is placed on hills, etc. ....... .
Will i have to create it in the editor-->read the Edit-File of it and then write it into the .xs-file or is there any datafile (but not the "5starfort") on the databank??.
when i have to create it, is there any advice about the function of placing(with detailed angles and degrees because the fort at the game will be placed with big wholes in the walls and missing edges!!!!.......)?????? for example"rmPlaceGroupingDefAtLoc(PlayerID, X,Z,High(AreaID),Degrees of looking)".

Nice Greetings
and lovely christmas-party

Please someone read and answer this
I know i sound like such a noob. But can someone tell me how to make custom random maps. Oh and also what is scripting?
Thanks

hiya, wondering if someone can help me?

I've made a map I can see the .bak and .age3scn in the scenarios folder (in c:my doc /aoe3), but how do I make them .xml and ,xs so I can play online? or even see them online.

Have i missed something in the editor that converts them or debugs then converts them?

Thanx MonkeyNutts

I really hope they release a map editor or something i just spent 2 hours on a map that i can't even play because i made it in the scenario editor T_T its really disappointing! How in the heck do you create a map from a text file anyways!?

well mine was done in the scenario editor as well. all i wanna do is playthe scarios that i made. they took hours!!!
