Topic Subject: Editing Spheres name affecting terran tile name
posted 11-22-06 08:35 AM EDT (US)   
Hi,

I've been having trouble changing the names of the Water and Earth Sphere while modding. I edited the ResStr.mld with PawelS Mld Converter program.

The problem is that apparently, the game uses the ResStr.mld as source for BOTH water/earth terrain Tiles AND the names of the respective spheres - there is only one field for Water and Earth, in other words. So I ended up with Chaos terrain instead of Water...

I also edited other .mld files, and the changed worked fine. But this one affects what the Diplomacy and Customize screen will show, so I really don't want it to show Water instead of Chaos.

Could Turbo Beholder or PawelS or other person with great knowledge of the game help me here?

As you have already noticed testing Age of Glorantha, the game uses the same resource string for all objects that share the same word as name (Changing the Human race name also changes the label that represents human when assigning human/AI control to a wizard). The same applies to magic spheres and terrain tiles. I have noticed, however, that Aow2.mld also contains these strings, and that changing the strings in that file can yeld some decent result when customizing a wizard.

Hi Rosen,

Yes we are Malkioni in Glorantha instead of Humans

I tried editing the aow2ed.mld too, but still no can do about the tiles while in game.

Customize have names I set except for the name that appears under the Sphere icon, which shares the Water or Earth sphere name; same applies for in-game Diplomacy Screen. The "'sphere name' specialist" and even single name when in Multi-class sphere set up work properly...

In the editor the tiles also have the appropriate name. Hope there is a way to fix this, but I don't think so Maybe someone knows

In aow2.mld and aow2ed.mld you can change texts that appear on the specific components of the interface. aow2ed.mld applies to the editor and aow2.mld to the game.

In ResStr.mld there are texts that can appear in many places of the game, and if you change them in this file, they will change everywhere, regardless of context. I have no idea how to solve your problem.

Hey Pawels,

Yes, I took a look at those and ALL other .mld files, heh. Even Scenarios.mld, Resources.mld, etc... pretty much I got want I wanted to show even customizing a wizard inside editor showing the name I want to.

But the ONE Earth and Water in ResStr.mld changes both sphere AND tile name in-game (and in one step of in-game customize screen)... isn't even an .exe modification enough to change this? I am angry ;(

Hey,

I also found out that the names of 'Fire' and 'Death' sphere are tied to 'fire' and 'death' damage types name, as they appear under abilities description in-game. So less modding possibilities here too

Pawels, where does the ATT, DAM values of abilities in-game comes from? It draws the values from the Resource folder of the current Mod?
