How can I add ageless era units to Wesnoth campaigns?

[MiamiHeat87]

I want to add the Lavinians to the Western Invasion and in general I just want to have different choices when playing the campaigns. I'm trying to add, change, or something that will let me recruit different units in campaigns but am unsure how to do so. Does someone know how to fix my problem?

Include this in your _main.cfg:

#define GET_AE_UNITS RACE
{~add-ons/Ageless_Era/units/{RACE}}
#enddef
[+units]
{~add-ons/Ageless_Era/data/}
{~add-ons/Ageless_Era/units/}
[/units]

you'd also have to add the unit ids the the recruit lists in all the scenarios of the campaign.

Thanks for the input. Should I put the code at the end of the text file?

Yea, I was aware of the recruit list. I am unsure of the unit ID though. Is it just the name of the unit as it shows in-game?

Include this in your _main.cfg:

Code: Select all

#define GET_AE_UNITS RACE
    {~add-ons/Ageless_Era/units/{RACE}}
#enddef
[+units]
    {~add-ons/Ageless_Era/data/}
    {~add-ons/Ageless_Era/units/}
[/units]

You never use the macro. If it's just Lavinians you're after,

Code: Select all

{~add-ons/Ageless_Era/units/lavinians}
[+units]
    {~add-ons/Ageless_Era/data/}
    {~add-ons/Ageless_Era/units/}
[/units]

or whatever the ae units folder for Lavinians is called. Though it would be much better just to get Imperial Era and link to that, which is a smaller download and most people who want to play a Lavinian campaign will have it.*

* In my experience.

its whatever comes after the id= key in the unit cfg file.

Ok, i'm pretty sure there is a addon folder somewhere and I figure if I could find that I would be able to guess how this works. However, I couldn't find that folder or where these unit cfg files may be. I have seen the ones for all the regular factions, regular campaigns, and such but I see nothing on the ageless file. What am I missing here? If you can show me where those files are located, I can do the rest. Thanks!

If you're having difficulty finding your Wesnoth files, check out this Wiki page.

I also strongly recommend making a copy of any core Wesnoth files before editing them, just in case things go wrong.

Oh wow, thanks. I thought Documents only held save games. I think I can handle it from here now, thanks a lot!

No worries. Welcome to Wesnoth!
