Editor Discussion / Re: Question about custom upgrades

« on: October 30, 2014, 05:58:22 AM »

Check out the tweak folder, an "upgrade" is simply changing any number of the values which can be altered on a player.  Health, mana cost, which abilities are unlocked, all sorts of stuff.  You can read all of them in the individual class files.

You've unlocked the secret dwarf fortress game mode. Don't tell anyone how you did it, it's a secret.

Lol.

If you want to switch back to normal mode though, I'd recommend that you uninstall and re-install the game, and try running it as an administrator.  For the devs to give you any real advice though I'm sure they could use information on what operating system you're using, graphics card, and if your computer can like run opengl or whatnot.

Editor Discussion / Re: How do I change map size?

« on: October 24, 2014, 06:57:56 AM »

Not exactly sure what you're asking, are you saying you've made a map literally so large that Hammerwatch experiences technical difficulties with it? 

I mean, if so, might be better to break the map down into multiple files and link them together with some LevelExists.

Editor Discussion / Re: Can you make your own upgrades purchasable more than once?

Add in a script to that global event, you can use the ChangeUpgrades element to just remove that upgrade after they purchase it, so that way it will still be available next time. 

You could also use this same trick to let them unlock more fires as they go, have a ChangeUpgrade element in the very beginning of the first level which gives the player all of the bonfire upgrades (so they can't purchase them), then have another one later which removes that upgrade when they reach the fire.

Don't know of any way, thought about that but doesn't seem possible, maybe someone else has a better answer.

Best you could do would be to make it so that theres an areatrigger on the top of the cliff which makes it temporarily passable for shooting down, then turns that back off once you leave.

Editor Discussion / Re: Having some tile/doodad overlay problems

I believe that the autobias is the thing you're looking for, I'm pretty sure its the default layer which that doodad gets placed on.  You can even change what layer a doodad is on by selecting it and then hitting Ctrl+a number to put it on that layer, or ctrl+alt+number to go to negative that number.  Its why like the color sections always show up ontop of walls.

So what precisely does it do above and beyond the ResourceExtractor?

Lets you re-pack the assets.bin so that you can change the main menu?

<tileset level="10">

Depends what you set the level to, higher levels stack on top of lower numbers.  Keep in mind that each and every tileset needs a unique level number though, can't be the same as an existing one.

So your custom one probably just has a level which is too high.

CrusaderDeleters, how would you do that?  I know you could get them to each walk to a different point before starting but can't figure out how you'd do the teleporting.

Would be totally sweet if with just a bit of programming you could just be all

<array name="skills">
</array>

in the tweak.xml and the game just reads in four skills in order....

just sayin...

Hammerwatch Discussion / Re: Debug mode, console?

« on: October 12, 2014, 03:58:47 AM »

I believe if you go into the folder where Hammerwatch lives and then go to the editor/ subfolder you will see another application called HammerWatch.exe, that one (the one in the editor/ folder) is the debug version.
