I don't think this mod works anymore, my game is constantly crashing on 4.1.3
TheBakerZen 6 Dec, 2023 @ 10:14pm 
Is there any chance for an update, providing a breath weapon for Yuan Bo?
Rikimaru 31 Oct, 2023 @ 1:02pm 
Does anyone else find using dragon breath as Xiao Ming, makes his dragon form turn invisible?
Palpitation 31 Aug, 2023 @ 5:16pm 
update?

Yes, others must suffer because you have a selective Luddite principle... ;)

@Samdy I try not to use ai art generators as a matter of principal :/
WDHBHHM 2 Jun, 2023 @ 12:56pm 
Maybe try using AI to generate images

Would anyone want to help me make better unit cards for the generic dragons? I'm never happy with any of the results I produce :/
Sturmageddon  [author] 24 May, 2023 @ 12:07pm 
@FullAutoAttack- no the breaths are supposed to be unique to each dragon. I am intending to make some skills to increase the number of breath attacks and stuff though.
FullAutoAttack 24 May, 2023 @ 10:23am 
Great work
Would you consider make Storm Dragon Breath (Storm Dragon Breath and Iron Dragon Breath) mutually exclusive skills so the player can decide what breath attack they want to use?
Sturmageddon  [author] 23 May, 2023 @ 7:32pm 
Should be functional now. Note- I wasn't happy with the visuals/feel of the dragon children breaths, so I've modified them significantly. I'll likely be tweaking them over the course of the next few days
Sturmageddon  [author] 23 May, 2023 @ 5:53pm 
OK I THINK I GOT IT. Apparently the cast forward stuff is linked to the raise shield stuff for some unknowable reason. I should have the main mod fixed either tonight or tomorrow. I'll also take this opportunity to update/modify some stuff I think I can improve. Thanks for the patience everyone
Sturmageddon  [author] 23 May, 2023 @ 5:28pm 
@DracoMcGee In my troubleshooting pack, I've added CAST_SPELL_FORWARD_SHORT_FLYING to the relavent anim pack (identical to the updated pack for Zhao in this case, except for the fragment I added back in). As it stands, its playing the right animation in game visually, but isn't wanting to create multiple projectiles- it's as if it doesn't recognize/respond to the metadata I made and I can't figure out why (dr4_iron_fly_spellcast_fwd_short_02.anm.meta- which should generate 15 projectiles in split second increments like it did before the patch)
Sturmageddon  [author] 23 May, 2023 @ 5:28pm 
@DracoMcGee I haven't replaced any anim files, I created a new anim pack for each dragon which is what is now getting referenced in land_units.

Thanks for pointing out the hidden numbers thing-I didn't know about that, so it might be part of the problem. I can't just copy the new version though- all the cast forward anim fragments were removed in this new version (which is part of why this has been such a pain to fix)
DracoMcGee 23 May, 2023 @ 2:54pm 
When you updated the mod for 3.0 did you completely replace your animpack?
I'm unsure since the one I could look at on the workshop is from oct 2022.

You need to copy the updated animpack from the base game data, replace your own, and then re-do whatever edits you did.

When the animpacks were updated the hidden numbers linking to the animslots were changed.

If that doesnt work, from the quick gander I took at your animpack it seems that some of your slots are using cast_forward_01, when your firing metadata is all linked to cast_forward_02 through 04



Lastly, (correct me if im wrong on this one) But are are you replacing OG animfiles? Because you don't have to with this, you can create completely new animpacks based off of the originals.

Helps to avoid compatibility problems if you make your own animpacks. And the plus side is youll be able to make new meta effects and whatnot without modifying the original two dragons.

No worries at all. we all appreciate the fact your doing your best. i just hope it decides to cooperate for you.
Sturmageddon  [author] 23 May, 2023 @ 8:05am 
@Quelthiaru I’m still taking a look at it occasionally but I can never get the breaths to work since CA completely rewrote the files for the base dragons. I’m still kinda intermediate with regards to skill at editing animation files though so I may just be missing something
Quelthinaru 22 May, 2023 @ 3:19pm 
Hope you can sort this! this is like a must have mod. thanks for all the effort your putting in
Sturmageddon  [author] 8 May, 2023 @ 9:57am 
@kafir I did but the attributes aren't the problem anymore- something changed with the animations (the breaths only fire 1 projectile instead of 15) and I still can't figure out why. The metadata entries and stuff seem fine...
kafir 7 May, 2023 @ 6:02pm 
@Sturmageddon Just delete all attribute suffix names in the attribute group
Sturmageddon  [author] 26 Apr, 2023 @ 8:47am 
@James Yan I know- it’s more than just an update, I’m still trying to figure out why the flight is disabled now
James Yan 25 Apr, 2023 @ 9:26am 
Love this mod, please update. Currently it will disable Miao Ying and Zhao Ming's flying ability
Seven 24 Apr, 2023 @ 12:25am 
miaoying cant fly
Solaire 20 Apr, 2023 @ 12:02pm 
Does this need an update for 3.0?
BloodW0lf 28 Mar, 2023 @ 4:52pm 
does this have TTC support?
lwhのsama 13 Mar, 2023 @ 6:24pm 
great units:steamthumbsup: but available for ai and benefit from technology ?

can someone make a sfo version? not Zharrhammer
niuxia1997 11 Mar, 2023 @ 9:15pm 
Hi, I think currently there is an issue with this mod.

When the celestial dragons use their breath attacks, sometimes the breath will not come out of their mouth correctly. Sometimes the dragons will still move during the breath attacks, that should be the reason for the issue.
LS_the_MAN! WOHOOOO! BELEHÖDAT! 11 Feb, 2023 @ 8:25am 
I can't believe I am only now finding this mod. I have previously only found the breath attack mods but not one with that + recruitable dragons in one.This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Sturmageddon  [author] 24 Dec, 2022 @ 6:54am 
@benjisan8 I am making a version that just adds breaths to the dragon kids, but its more bare bones. I'm basically giving them dragon breath attacks that already exist in game with some minor modifications (EX: Zhao gets moon dragon breath with armor sundering). I'm honestly not 100% happy with the unique breaths since getting the projectiles to work the way I want takes a lot of work and always ends up a bit haggard and unbalanced. Plus, the "standard" breath attacks just work so perfectly with the dragon anims that it just seems like the better choice
benjisan8 20 Dec, 2022 @ 6:44pm 
Hi Sturmageddon. No worries if you have no plans to do it, but if possible, could you please create a separate mod that only has these unique breath attacks you have designed for only Zhao Ming and Miao Ying? The breath attacks you have made for both the dragon siblings looks really awesome by the way, and would love to have them by themselves without the generic Cathayan dragons, but again I totally understand if you have no plans to do it. It is awesome that you are planning to do breath attacks for the remaining dragon siblings as well.
KsH 18 Dec, 2022 @ 4:32pm 
Thanks man
Sturmageddon  [author] 16 Dec, 2022 @ 7:32pm 
@KsH I think so but i'm not positive (I don't know how the game reacts to changes in the anim files-). It's definitely worth a try though
KsH 16 Dec, 2022 @ 1:24pm 
Looks cool. Would one be able to introduce this mid-save?
The Emperor's Chosen 6 Dec, 2022 @ 12:34am 
Okay so, I'm confused. There were "Eastern Dragons" in older WH books...but these dragons were ret-conned, so the only Eastern Dragons that exist are the royals? Is this right, because that seems an odd premise to take. That implies that there just happened to be two Eastern Dragons originally before Old Ones changed the orbit of the planet which caused the dragons to slumber. That seems really contrived unless I'm misunderstanding something.

@TheGrandSirPiggy People might just not be coming across it- it probably doesn’t help that I accidentally published it as a graphical mod…
TheGrandSirPiggy 12 Oct, 2022 @ 1:14pm 
I'm really surprised this hasn't gained more traction, considering the lack of breath attacks was a main complaints about the Cathay'n dragons, and you've done a wonderful job at implementing the breath attacks.

Was is this just released at time when the workshop activity was low or is Cathay not that popular?
nmasteric 1 Oct, 2022 @ 8:07am 
AMAZING
Pinaloan 27 Sep, 2022 @ 6:31pm 
This is awesome, I desperately hope someone makes a Radious version because I would love to see these guys decimate a 300 unit of goblins!
