Quote:why already ghost dragon should be converted to bone dragon
Well, I'm pointing out the inconsistency of ERA.
Right now we have Green Dragons, Gold Dragons to Bone Dragons. However, Diamond Dragons to Skeletons.
Also, Blood Dragons to Bone Dragons, however, Ghost Dragons and Bone Dragons to Skeletons.
We aslo have Red Dragons, Black Dragons and Darkness Dragons all to Bone Dragons
It doesn't make sense to me why these dragons are treated differently.
Archer30, So logically speaking, Skeleton Transformer returns calcium to dragons soul that themselves are no longer made of bones and have a plasma texture? It destroys an entire special body to form it from ordinary bones. That is what I understood
There is a WoG bug that I wish to be fixed in ERA (if it's rejected then I will do it with erm
)
The description of necro command ability - Cast Animate Dead on Level 1-5 Creatures is incorrect. The real effect is "Cast Animate Dead on a creature with no more than 50 hp".
I can't be sure whether it is the description or the effect that needs to be revised. But it doesn't make sense that from the start you are able to revive Vampires with this ability, and then later after the Vampires gained some ranks, it's no longer possible to do so. From this, I can tell fixing the ability itself to match the description is more reasonable.
Necro commander has max monster HP set to 50, ok. The description should be fixed in txt files, probably.
I respect the decision
Another wish is to remove the dependency of z var with DL hints (DL:H).
So
daemon_n wanted me to reallocate all my hints from DL text to z vars/json. I understand that is good for translation. However, having to occupy z var semi-globally is not convenient. In the interface of Trainer mod, about 50 z var have to be used in this way. Is there a plan to lift this restriction in the future?
Maybe 50 HP cap is not ideal solution. In fact, it's really not ideal solution, but it's hard to do something suitable for all mods. It seems like "no limit" was treated as imbalance by WoG Team. Maybe just remove the limit at all?
Ok, DL:H needs to be fixed. Agree, will do.
Remove the 50 hp cap, plus adding in creature level check? Then it would be exactly the same as the description.
I'm fine with just removing the cap too. The limit of this spell is from the power of the commander so only limited hp would be recovered in this way.
Archer30, ok, thanks for report.
And thanks for accepting the idea.
I wonder your comments about
here 
Is it good or nah?
And I'd like to report a problem. It looks like the new function for getting a hero's basic primary skills is not optimised to its best and may result in crashes. Here's a player report
Getting crash on turn end with a chance
My revision, skipping WM slots and spell book, works well so far:
Hi! What do you think about adding FU(GetMaxArtifactId) to EEF?
So basically it will only work for ERA without extra artifact plugins only (same as GetMaxMonsterId). But it is still useful for better organsied script writing I think.
In TUM, I wrote a small fucntion for getting the last ID with emerlad 3 loaded, which suppose to be overriding this proposed function.

Also a reminder, it is necessary to add in wog options.json in the current ERA. ERA no longer reads zsetup00.txt for some reasons.

Проверять на решётку в первом символе имени артефакта - плохие костыли, а с копированием имени артефакта в z1 - оочень плохие костыли (имя можно проверить из самой структуры артефакта без подобной тормозной воговщины). Так делать не нужно.
Любой не знающий об этих костылях моддер может убрать решётку из имени артефакта и ваш костыльный ERM-код выдаст неправильный результат.
1. Для поиска последнего артефакта стоит всё же пользоваться лимитом на артефакты - для разных версий Эмералдов он разный (т.к. Феанор поленился сразу выделить память под 1000 артов).
2. Последний используемый артефакт стоит искать с конца структуры артефактов, чтобы не напороться на "дырки".
3. Артефакт можно проверять на ценность "s" - такой арт считается игрой пустым, а значит он не участвует в генерации, по факту, всегда являясь бланковым. Для особых случаев можно проверять и цену артефакта: если 0, значит бланковый.
Нельзя по какому-то фиксированному адресу считать лимит артефактов? Явно ведь в игре много проходов по всему массиву.
XEPOMAHT, good advice, thanks!
As I know there is no better way to get the last art id in emerald
Many methods would count the dummy artifacts in.
What the point of dummy artifacts or monsters at all? Why not add artifacts linearly without gaps?
Good question.
Was it started from
Feanor?
I want to report another problem of the fucntion of getting the hero's basic primary skills. Spell Scrolls must be set as exceptions, otherwise we'd get bugs.
Fixed fucntion:

Also an optional request. Maybe setting "WoG" and "Era Erm Framework" mod forcibly loaded? I don't see how these mods would be disabled in any case. And I'm getting reports from players due to wrongly disabling these mods
An option can be set in ini (whether forcbly enabling compulsory mods) if that makes you feel more ethical.
