How to add an era's units to World Conquest's enemy selection pool
This file describes how to make your addon work well together with world conquest 2. In particular how to write an era that can be used together with world conquest ii.
Making an era that works well together with world conquest ii, is quite easy: just add the `[world_conquest_data]` tag to your `[multiplayer_side]` tag just as he standard word conquest2 era does, important: your era may not have require_download=no for this to work. Furthermore if your era contains new unit types that are not mainline wesnoth, don't forget to put an additional `[world_conquest_data]` in `[era]` to describe which traits these unit types should get when they are selected as heroes (use this to compensate weaker unit types).
To make an era/modification that also changes the enemy army unit types, make sure to define the wc2_init_enemy event and use it to set the enemy_army variable that should contains the pool of 'armies' that the enemies are chosen from:
[event]
name = "wc2_init_enemy"
[filter_conditional]
[variable]
name="wc2_enemy_army.length"
equals=0
[/variable]
[/filter_conditional]
[set_variables]
name = "wc2_enemy_army"
[literal]
# last digit has to be the total number of factions you want to [group]
factions_available = "1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4"
[group]
# allies will be the factions who should be paired with this one
allies_available="2,3,4"
id = "enemyfaction_id"
recruit= "Orcish Grunt,Orcish Archer,Wolf Rider,Orcish Assassin,Troll Whelp"
[recall]
level2 = "Orcish Ruler, Orcish Slayer,..."
level2 = "Orcish Warlord, Troll Warrior,..."
[/recall]
[commander]
level1 = "Orcish Leader, Orcish Grunt,..."
level2 = "Orcish Ruler, Orcish Slayer,..."
level2 = "Orcish Warlord, Troll Warrior,..."
[/commander]
[leader]
level2 = "Troll"
level3 = "Troll Warrior"
recruit = "Orcish Grunt,Orcish Archer,Troll Whelp"
[/leader]
[leader]
level2 = "Orcish Warrior"
level3 = "Orcish Warlord"
recruit = "Orcish Grunt,Orcish Archer,Wolf Rider,Orcish Assassin"
[/leader]
# add more leader specifics here
[/group]
# make another group and copy-paste the previous one to make more factions
[/literal]
[/set_variables]
[/event]
How to make a WC-style era
In your era's CFG file, code in the following:
Let's assume I want to make a World Conquest era for the...Extended Era...
We have done this to ensure the era follows the same code and functionality as the original World Conquest era. Next, continue coding:
#ifdef LOAD_WC2
[resource]
id= extended_era_resource_main
# load the World Conquest era-specific Lua Code
[lua]
code = " wesnoth.dofile('campaigns/World_Conquest//lua/era_main.lua') "
[/lua]
# this defines who the commanders, deserters and heroes
[world_conquest_data]
[hero_types]
[Aragwaithi] # Note this tag can be given any name (but maintain consistency)
name= _ "Aragwaithi"
types="Aragwaith Swordsman,Aragwaith Spearman,Aragwaith Adept,Aragwaith Archer"
[/Aragwaithi]
[Dark_Elves]
name= _ "Dark Elves"
types="Dark Elven Fighter,Dark Elven Hunter, Dark Elven Lizard Rider" # and so on...
[/Dark_Elves]
# Combined
# you need this bonus all since this is what WC sees when loading up the hero availability pool in bonus points.
[Bonus_All] # Notice how I added in the hero groups in. This is who it should be done.
types=Aragwaithi,Dark_Elves
[/Bonus_All]
