WoG Lives On! 3.58f script update and new site!

[Bethel]

That when I'm in an Inferno town and want to Castle Gate to another Inferno town, I'm given the status of the Blacksmith. This also happens in Dungeon towns when I want to buy creatures from the creature portal, tho' I can at least buy them by going into the fort/citadel/castle proper.

It should be noted that I run the script to have war machines stack.

If you mean one of the War Machine scripts, there are three of them. Tell me which one you're using and I'll check it out.

Sorry it took me so long - Enhanced War Machines III.

So, Fnord, any news on this front? I'm currently playing 'To Kill For Power', which is intensive on the Inferno front, using Castle Gates rather than Town Portal. Currently I'm able to get around the problem by buying up all War Machines and then destroying the Blacksmith before Day 7 (so that it can be rebuilt before the week ends).

It's been a busy time of the year, so you may not have had a chance to even look at it.

Thanks!

Hi, fellow WoGGers :-)

The THUNKS are available? that is really good news. I think i might even have helped playtest one of those, back in the day

I would also like to say that I am really impressed with the WoG updates. Alas, I STILL have crash problems in multiplayer- but the single player mode redeems that. I really like playing in 'explorer' mode.
Checking out all the neat adventure objects- without too much interference from the AI

Looking forward to the maps!

Now that our Web site is up and it is mapless, this may change soon. Pol and I have decided to release maps to the public from the WoG Map Archives. Notably the updated T.H.U.N.K. campaign maps and some other more popular maps such as Vlaads' maps that have been updated for the final time. And I want to release my maps Book of the Dead Ver. 1.1 and Deception Pass. We may even release a few other goodies as well.[/quote]

Well, Pol and I are considering which maps from the WoG Map Archives to put up on the Web site, and we both agree that the THUNK maps should go up. Also Vlaads' updated maps will go. And I'm sure Pol has a few of his own that he would like to have up. I'm also thinking the popular Chinese map, English version of course, of "Chaser" should go up too.

ByteBandit: PTM that I believe you & Fnord (among others) worked on is a particular favourite of mine.

Thanks for the script update -- it's wonderful to see progress on WOG! You have some great changes here, and everything seems quite stable to me so far. Reading the changelog, I wondered about one minor point. Could someone explain how to use the "change monster number" feature of the cheat menu? For what it's worth, I enabled the cheat menu (!#UN:P77/1;); I just don't understand what to right-click on to change enemy stack sizes.

script77.erm (WoG Cheat Menu)
- Added: Function to change the stack size of monsters on the map just before combats by right-clicking on "Attack Value" on the Adventure Screen (only when WoG Cheat Menu is active).

This is mostly intended for "fixing" neutral monster stacks that have grown too large for any reason (a bug or just because you can't get past them in a test or even if you get too frustrated in a single player game).

The place to right-click is in the little square at the bottom right of the screen. Select a hero and then right-click on the hero's attack value in that information square (the number itself). There you can set a percentage from 1% to 100% for the size of all neutral stacks in the game until you change it again (I think this affects all heroes but I may be wrong...another team member made this addition).

[JohnGalt]

Ah, I see. Thanks very much for the clarification!

new official WoG site

I noticed that the new website does not have the following 3 updating files for 3.58f:

video_full.wog
extra_bf.wog
erm_tools.wog

Is it because they are just not yet up, or did they have minor bugs and are left out now for safety? Anyway, I've installed the first two together with the script update, and so far everything seems to be working just fine. Many belated thanks to the whole WoG team for this script update.

[Zamolxis]

"So far so good!" - His famous last words. - favorite line of one of my colleagues at work.

So the game worked perfectly for a few days... until I posted the above.

Now I ran again into one of the pretty annoying bugs I noticed/reported back in 2005 when I was beta-testing for this script update: After the Paladin fully heals a unit, the Tent is unable to resurrect any more troops in that stack.

Fnord, is the testing still going on? If yes, I would like to rejoin the group if possible. Until then, where shall I report the bugs: here or in the sticky? I'm asking b/c I know the sticky we have now is full of the bugs from before the update.

In addition, WoG now has a new official WoG site, hosted by Celestial Heavens on their server. At present, just the update is ready, but in the coming weeks and months, look for WoG utilities, the main WoG files, additional script updates (as needed), new WoGify scripts, WoG maps, WoG mods, and much much more to keep you WoGGing for years to come!

The new WoG site can be found at http://wog.celestialheavens.com/ so be sure to bookmark this page for future visits. The script update is on the Download-->Optional WoG Files page.

The site died about 3 days or more!
Anyone knows what reason is?

[Pol]

Anyone knows what reason is?

Yes. Site will be back immediately after we will get hold of our admin.

The script update is also here.

I noticed that the new website does not have the following 3 updating files for 3.58f:
video_full.wog
extra_bf.wog
erm_tools.wog

Here were no changes, you can still download them from oldlocation

Fnord, is the testing still going on?

Yes, but it will be faster if you will ask directly through the group. * Now I noticed that I'm not Fnord, well, too late.

I would like to say a huge thanks to Docent Picolan. Here are (some) of his props for 3.59 design:

[Burdon]

Like it ! These former screen borders needed some improvement

Humm, what about this town on the first picture ? I assume it's not the Bastion.

[Warrior]

The graphics on the second screen is stolen from new King's Bounty by Docent Picolan.

[Pol]

Well, evidently it's something.
(flip to the otherthread for a longer explanation)

[ByteBandit]

Yup. Gotta love the new borders.

It is not my work I've never made it. This graphics are from King's Bounty series. Personally I despise all plagiarism...

Is there anywhere I can still find a link for download?

What do you mean? There were several proposals for WoG 3.59. I have no idea what was realised, as discussion continued (despite GrayFace proposal) only in russian on different forum.

There we have also some hiring request, so if you are interested GrayFace can tell you more.

But from 2007 nothing will be available today, I surmise.

[Archer30]

Well I mean exactly the topic offered, the download for 3.58f script update on 2006. I myself have been working on ERA Launcher Edition with daemon_n/Perry R for more than a year now, porting everything realised and unrealised from WoG to ERA. I just found that We miss out on this big update for ERA for years. It would be a great improvement if we can use the more advanced scripts (or just ideas) here, porting the full WoG project to ERA.

I think the scripts from Grayface's Github are pretty closed. They are even newer. Although I'd like to track down the change of scripts for each stage.
