We are gathered here today, to mourn the loss of this mod. R.I.P. 2015-2015

No workie!

As it happens, I just finished about 30 turns of a MP game with a friend to test it, as the opportunity arose; There seem to be no conflicts.

The ELCP is the acronym for the Endless Legend Community Patch.

I don't know which mod you are talking about, sorry. I haven't kept up with EL in a while. This mod is fairly lightweight, so there shouldn't be any conflicts.

I can't imagine a reason it wouldn't be, but would you happen to know if this is compatible with ELCP?

Great! I'm mod-fishing for ELegend for the first time after being too frustrated by it's faction customisation limits compared to ESpace. Took me two years to think about looking at the workshop XD
Now I hope this works with the mod that allows changing the faction traits :3
In all cases, THANK YOU!

lol yeah
I got lost 2 paragraphs in with the description xD

I personally don't use it. Mostly because I haven't figured out how. It seems pretty helpful, but you might want to figure out how to do things manually the first few times, just so you know what the tool actually does and how it saves you time.

Found the tutorial PDF =)

Would you recomend the Splitter created by another modder>?

Yep! Just be careful about editing the base files. Your game will work, provided you don't break anything, but your game will desync when playing with others without your edits. You'll have to verify your game cache to re-download the old ones. It's well worth reading the tutorial and following the basic mod-setup steps, so you can work without changing the base files!

Great! I was afraid that my regualr notepad wouldnt save in the right format. So i should be able to make changes and save them then?

An XML is just a text file with some formatting! Anything which can read plaintext will work, even regular old notepad. I use notepad++, but there are lots of alternatives.

Quick question,
Which sofware is it that allows me to eddit the files in this game -_-

I know they are XML, but I know nothing else - including what an XML doc is xD

Thanks for the redirect! I will head over there now and take a look. ^_^

The official forums are great, and the people there will help you out if you ask. There's also a few official documents put out by the devs you can find on there that have a lot of good info.

I will be following, but i was hoping to get a few tips on how to make traits of my own. The most I hav ever done with modding is playing with script files in basic games like bejewled. Where shhould I start looking?

havnt played much with other people, but that does sound like fun :P

Pretty sure it does, yes. Try not to be too mean to your friends!

does socialites affect converted villages? If so I could have ALOT of fun with it in a custom cultist build.

The smaller the region, the more valuable each population you get is. The larger the reason, the more likely you are to get 3 additional easy population per city. With the right governors, it's pretty insane. Just thought 10 might be more appropriate, as 2 points wouldn't hurt in situations where it's not abused.

The mechanics of allowing more minor factions isn't hard, but I can't modify the GUI, so it wouldn't really work.

Have you found Socialites too powerful? In what circumstances?

Any way you could add a mod that allows more minor faction assimilation? Perhaps 3 tiers at 15 points for the first two tiers and 10 for the third? Also, would you consider increasing the point cost for Socialites to 10?

Oh, ok. Thanks for info.

I think that's possible. The code for hit chances is public, so someone could do it. It's a bit beyond the scope of things I'm willing to take on, though.

I know it has nothing to do with your mod, and I'm apolgizing for this, but do you think you'd be able to create a mod, which would make the units in battle always hit whichever (critical, normal, reduced or blocked hit) has the greatest chance? I have incredibly bad luck and I'm losing battles while having more and stronger units and heroes and so... I hate RNG in games. Do you think you could do that? It would be awesome!

Dude that is so awesome! Thank you so much! I like taking negative mods too but I super appreciate you taking the time on this. I have no idea on how to do things like this. Have all of the fake and free internet points I can give!!!

Here you go!
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=560024134

Sure, i can make a micro-mod like that.

I wound't use it, though. It's much more fun to take negative traits to give you extra points!

Can you modify this mod (or make another) that lets all races have up to 105 points to put into traits as opposed to just the Vaulters/Mezari having that? Basically this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/endlesslegend/mods/11/? I just dont know how to port things :(

Ah, that's right! that looks like game ID number, and then something else. Maybe mod ID number. Things look much different from my end, as Amplitude have created their own upload interface thingy.

@zen
Yeah, found it deep inside Steam directory '..SteamLibrary\SteamApps\workshop\content\289130\554268262' besides other numbers.

Seems Steam brings organization inside the chaos...unfortunately it's not easy to find.
BTW...we may change this over into discussions if it lasts longer...

I honestly have no idea...

Isn't there a workshop folder in steam? Probably in there somewhere.

@zen
Ok, will do....if you might share info where the mod is stored after patch? with workshop it is not in '...Documents\Endless Legend\Community' any longer.

Hm. Okay. Well that's unfortunate.

You can do a workaround and copy the english folder in the mod's localisation folder and rename it 'German" and it will give you english tooltips. Unfortunately I don't speak german, and I don't think that relying on google translate would work too well.

@zen I unly used a placeholder phrase and tested without Enchanteur's mod. Unfortunately I get same typing error with Echantanteur's.

I think that's Enchanteur's mod, not mine. All of my names have 'zen' in them, to ensure that other peopler are unlikely to have the same names, and hence cause conflicts. However, this mod is only localised in english, so I wouldn't expect the german version to work properly.

I had thought it might default back to english or french if there was no relevant localisation strings, but I must admit to not really testing that functionality.

Hm...localization doesn't seem to work properly. Getting lots of %tinytrait...% offers with German version.

Okay, thanks.

Oh! I missed that when I copied the description over from the amplitude forums, they have the icons. It's +4 approval! I will fix that now.

Does beach party effect all resources, or something specific? It's hard to tell what it's for from my perspective.

ah ok, might be a little op in some territories... I like it

The Socialite and Xenophobe traits technically affect the villages themselves, causing them to grant their owning city +/-1 pop in addition to their usual +1. It also happened to work for converted villages, but I liked that so I kept it in.

its nice to see some people playing with the kit already, but is the Socialite and Xenophobe traits
per village in a territory, or +/- 1 per territory itself? just wondering
