AOE3 Forums

Can you please please explain to me the Operator slot in some conditions?


Thank you.


Also, I have a trigger, Always is checked and priority is high.
There are two conditions, both are Tech Status Equals

Type: Tech Status Equals
Player: 1
Tech: ChurchStandingArmy
Status: Active

and

Type: Tech Status Equals
Player: 2
Tech: ChurchStandingArmy
Status: Active

There are six effects, all are Create Unit Multi.

When I research Churchstandingarmy, the units aren't created, but when I set the condition status to obtainable, the units are created
when the game starts. What should I do? I want the units to appear when I research the tech. [Edited on 2/2/2006]

Is there any way to use your own home city in the scenario editor instead of the one it assigns you?

It would be nice if the mods made a sticky topic with links to the instructions, advice, guides and tutorials that help with common problems/questions that you keep getting posts about over and over again.

I am pretty sure this question has been answered before but I can't find it. How do I use 1 of my skirmish hc in a game I have made? I followed the directions given on heaven games and either I am doing them wrong or they dont work. [Edited on 2/3/2006]

PLEASE HELP!

In reference to a prior post, I have checked both HG and AgeOfWiki and have not found a solution to the AI control problem in Island/Navel games. The only help I found was on the HG site. There is a file download that claims to modify the settings in the AI Loader Standard. I have tried using this file for my AI player control. However, I get the same result. I am unable to get the AI controled players to leave their Island even with AI Loader Standard with rules activated. So for me the modified file did not work.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX THIS!

I had trouble with this early on.
To use your own home city in a custom scenario you have to do some stuff.
1- go into C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\Savegame ,and find you home city it will have a name like sp_newyork_homecity
2- copy the file you want
3- make a new folder and paste the hc in it. then rename the file to say, newyorkhomecity, you need to get rid of the sp_ part.
4- then go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\Campaign and put your new folder with the hc file in it there.
it is now in the hc set to use when assigning a hc to a scenario for yourself.
This has worked for me.
You cannot however save any new xp to the moved file.
I hope this was clear for ya. [Edited on 2/3/2006]

hello Goblin5: First off thank you very much for your valuble information on this subject. After reading the steps I have,and I hope not a stupid question with step three. Do I? Rename the new folder or rename the home city file inside the new folder? Again thanks KJN

How do I play on a map that I just created in map editor? I would like to play against the computer in a skirmish. I read from the others replys that you have to extract files? If that is the case how do I extract the files?

SORRY


scratch that last question

you only need to remane the homecity file, you can call the folder it is in what ever you wish.

Guys, dont forget, before asking questions check here to see if your question has been asked.

Shoot me.

Thanks, these are good directions but I followed the carfuly and it gives me the message " to Make sure the file contains a valid civ" and won't let me load it. Any help will be appriciated. [Edited on 2/4/2006]

Read this. Xamolxis is a wise veteran when it comes to Age games and Scenario Designing. Listen to him. Ask and answer questions here, because I can't do it all by myself.

A few points:

I am not a very good scripter, so all questions reguarding proto.xml and Custom Maps should be directed to M0nTy_PyTh0n and his thread in the Age Community, and BilboBeutlin in AoE3 Heaven.

You cannot (effectively) increase (a) unit(s) HP and Attack with the conditions and effects that came with the official AoE3 editor. You need to find and copy over Custom Conditions and Effects. Do this here. You can also learn how to create your own Custom Conditions and Effects here.

You can fool around with the other AI's, even if everyone keeps telling you to only use ailoaderstandard.xs (There are several numerical AI's; see which ones work. Different numbers focus on different things. The rest should either not work or partianlly work).

Several question can be answered in length, but instead, I will leave it up to you to use the HG Custom Scenario and RM Scripting Search Function. Use this Link to input any correct search item. You may get different search results with every different or a variation input.


I hope everyone uses this information to aid themselves, and others.

I'm not sure why you are getting that message.
When you hit the hc button in the scenario editor you should see 3 folders- age3 tutorial, blood ice steel, and your new one.
I used HC as a folder name and it has worked fine for me.
my hc file is named "homecitynow" and has worked everytime. I have no mods installed, and the game is up to date so I really don't know why it wont work for ya, sorry.
