JarlWolf's Custom Factions

[JarlWolf]

Ah, well that is fine. Having issues installing though, refer to my former post.

[sisko]

maybe this can help: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvbvm50

[JarlWolf]

I downloaded that and it gave me some crazy program that frightens and confuses me. Don't think I need that 

Thanks anyways though. I think I get along fine with face edit, its a devil but its a devil I know.

Doesn't FacEdit sometimes "forget" to change the default Hive texts into the custom ones? A lot of the Network Node custom factions still had Hive stuff in them. I'd recommend you at least proof read the .txt files that FacEdit generates. Or persuade someone here at AC2 to do it for you.

Oh I do, I learned that with the Crimson Comrades, Kilk showed me. I'll probably double check/test with someone as well as manually check the text files itself: It's just AcEdit won't work/is able to install on my system for whatever reason so I have to use Face Edit.

Good ol' Kil is always one step ahead.

Indeed. This is probably the most supportive online community I've been in, glad to have helpful folks about.

Imperium is coming along nicely: Will update the first post with pictures. I have one question though;

Is there a way on this forum to do a Spoiler type thing, but you are able to name the spoiler? Like say you have a spoiler tab and it's named for example: Crimson Comrades

I ask as I want to make my pages easier to read and browse through so people aren't scrolling through massive posts.

[Rymdolov]

I don't know anything about the spoiler tag, sorry.

I have been tinkering with a map of Iceland. Combine that with your Valhalla faction and we have a scenario, perhaps even a Game of the Month!

[Buster's Uncle]

I don't think there's a way to do that with the spoilers - perhaps a simple label on the line above?

...

On the faction making, the old hands who know what they're doing swear that assembling the .txt by hand is the way to go...

[JarlWolf]

Also if any of you have suggestions for the existing factions, or ones to formulate a new one let me know.

Hmm.. I think you'll like the Valhallans then. To describe their buildings, I am making them sort of stony looking, has some Scandinavian elements and there will be a statue of a Valkyrie with each one on land, and maybe on the sea I'll put a different sort of statue, or use the same. We'll have to see.

please note the changes i made to the first post of this thread.

Imperium is done! Will be working on Valhalla next.

Edit: And I have noted, Thank you very much!

So very true!

[Buster's Uncle]

Geo is definitely one of those old hands who knows.

Any tips for getting started with doing it manually, Geo?  It's a lot of information that one has to enter in an unforgiving format - you can see where someone new to it would be intimidated.

I found a slight bug in the Crimson Comrades.

The description reads "Hive" when you are fighting units.
