Default Some help please.

Okay, I have been really busy modding The Lord of the Rings, the Battle for Middle-earth lately. Anyway, I was wondering if some people could help me out. I'm no professional at this.

1) How would I give Rohan the Grand Harvest upgrade and the Upgrade Structures to Use Fire Arrows upgrade?

2) How would I give Isengard the Upgrade Structures to use Fire Arrows upgrade?

3) How would I make the Grond buildable at the Mordor Rank 3 Siege Works?

4) How can I make the Gondor Forbidden Pool buildable at economy plots?

5) I gave Gondor Aragorn, so I thought I should give Gondor the Anduril Spell as well (I gave Rohan the Elven Gifts spell). Problem is, neither of these spells work. How do I fix this?

6) Lastly, how do I modify the summon spells?

I'm sure I have more questions, but I can't think of them right now.

Thank you to anyone who helps me .

1) CommandSet.ini (Search for the entries and add the Grand Harvest upgrade to a Rohan Structure). To be able to use FireArrows at Level 1 Armory, that is already granted for Rohan. (IIRC. If not, goto command button and look for the purchase technology rohan fire arrows entry and remove "Upgrade_StructureLevel2" from the entry)

2. See Above

3. Put Grond in the Mordor siege works. Making him buildable at rank 3 is for you to find out (it's easy)

4. CommandSet.ini

5. CommandSet.ini first and then you have to go into sciences.ini finding the entries for those tags and adding science_gondor and science_rohan where needed.

7) You can track them through the inis.. but most of it happens in ObjectCreationList.ini

I already did that. It makes the Grand Harvest show up, it just doesn't work properly.

And I don't mean the Fire Arrows upgrade. I mean the upgrade that Gondor gets at the Stoneworker. I already added it to Rohan and Isengard, but like the Grand Harvest upgrade, it doesn't work.

After looking in CommandSet.ini, I saw this:

CommandSet RohanEconomyPlotCommandSet
1 = Command_UnpackExplicitRohanFarm
2 = Command_ConstructEntMoot
End

CommandSet MordorEconomyPlotCommandSet
1 = Command_UnpackExplicitLumbermill
2 = Command_UnpackExplicitSlaughterhouse
End
CommandSet IsengardEconomyPlotCommandSet
1 = Command_UnpackExplicitLumbermill
2 = Command_UnpackExplicitIsengardSlaughterhouse
End


The problam with that is there is none for Gondor. So would I just have to add the code myself for the Forbidden Pool to be buildable?

Code:
Upgrade					= Upgrade_MarketplaceUpgradeGrandHarvest  
		UpgradeBonusPercent		= GONDOR_GRANDHARVEST_PRODUCTION_INCREASE %
		UpgradeMustBePresent	= ANY +GondorMarketPlace
That is necessary on the Rohan Farm settings to utilise Grand Harvest.

Fire Arrows is an upgrade that changes weaponsets:

Code:
Behavior = WeaponSetUpgrade ModuleTag_FireArrows
 		TriggeredBy			= Upgrade_BattleTowersToUseFireArrows
 	End
Also, The reason Gondor doesn't get what you see in those commandsets in because Gondor doesn' have a dual economy choice. WHat I mean is, Rohan gets ents and a farm, Mordor & Isengard get a Lumberbill and a Slaughterhouse. Gondor just gets a farm (on the economy plots). You have to do some further coding (like following the dual economy choices through).

I'm doing it myself and will have a tutorial on it soon

Ah, thank you very much! You'll tell me how to get the Forbidden Pool buildable when you figure it out, right (unless I miraculously figure it out myself! )?

And these aren't the only questions I have. I'm sure more will come in the future.

Again, thanks !

Well, I have encountered some problems with the Grand Harvest and Structures to use Fire Arrows uprgades.

For the Grand Harvest upgrade, the problem I have is the upgrade doesn't work still. I have actually figured out the problem, though; the Grand Harvest upgrade requires the Gondor Marketplace before it can be used. Is there anyway around this for Rohan (I still want to have Gondor need the Marketplace for the Grand Harvest upgrade to take affect for them, just not for Rohan).

The Structures to Use Fire Arrows is working near perfectly (except that some Isengard structures don't use it, but that's a problem on my part). After I have already purchased the upgrade, it takes effect and everything, but when I select the Rohan Armory and Isengard Forge, the game seems to think the upgrade hasn't been purchased yet and is still selectable, provided I have the proper resources. However, when I click on it again, it doesn't do anything. Is there anyway around this?

And I got a new question: for the Good Campaign, in the Mines of Moria, if you select one of your Heroes, they don't say one of their quotes. Is there any way to make them say their quotes?

And, if you have figured it out now, how would you make the Gondor Forbidden Pool buildable?

Again, thanks!

I haven't had time to finalise the tutorial yet. Sorry, but work has just been a madhouse.

Re: Structure/Fire Arrows, if you build a 2 Gondor Stoneworkers you'll notice the same problem. I don't think there's anyway around it unforunately...

Re: The Market Place. Buildings getting the upgrade have the following code:

Code:
Upgrade					= Upgrade_MarketplaceUpgradeGrandHarvest  
		UpgradeBonusPercent		= GONDOR_GRANDHARVEST_PRODUCTION_INCREASE %
		UpgradeMustBePresent	= ANY +GondorMarketPlace
You can simply change it for Rohan (e.g. UpgradeMustBePresent = ANY +RohanaArmory)

if you need any further help, you can find me at skywaters[at]cncguild[dot]net
