this is great bers,thaks.now a noob question:how do i install the previos wog mods?those packed in a .wog

Darty, thanks. You cannot install wog-archiives anymore. Their contents is to be converted into mods.

and...how do yo do that? :">

Mod is a folder with the same structure as game/wog 3.58f had. Resources are packed into snd/vid/pac archives using MMArchive.

Great job, but is it possible to use HiRez with this mod? If so, could you explain how to install HiRez on Era II?
Thanks in advance.

The same way as it's done on other version. HD 3.X can launch any executable file, afair. Still did not tested it.

Updated to 2.3.

Updated to 2.4.

I've made a small mod which notifies the number of retaliations a stack still has (red=none) and the number of spells remaining (eg:archangel, faerie dragon)
But I think it would display better with Yona. First I wanted to be mouse hovering related, but if the cursor is sword (attack action), it does not display. So I let it as right-click, if anyone has a better idea, improve it.

Display Retaliations



Right-click: retaliations
Ctrl+left-click: number of spells remaining

It should display even for attack cursor, strange. It was displayed when I wrote first script with half of Yona functionality in ERM. Of courser it would be nice to see on hover.

don't know why, works with all cursors except sword, tried both Yona and without, same. This was first:

!!MM0 will be triggered on the hex left/right/top/etc to target stack when sword cursor appears. Era added new trigger, better suitable for this case (77014 perhaps, look at era history log in Help).

Hmm, I have no idea how to use that function, from what I see it is either 77012 or 77013, but both are triggered when I press attack, not when hover mouse.

Would be something close to this? Not working...

That's because you have statistics turned off in battle options, so damage is not displayed on hover at all otherwise
!?FU77013;
!!IF:L^Hi^; would work.
Am I right?

Ah, forgot. If FU77013 triggers, then store the result in SN:W var and display in !?MM. MM will occur right after.
