I’m going to have a look into it myself (total noob modder, but hey), but I was wondering if there’s any glimmer of an ambition to add some Shadow-Realm themed terrain?
Thanks for the kind words – I wanted to surprise people with it actually, but yes, a complete new map layer beside surface and underground, featuring a full Shadowrealm theme and Shadowportals as Structures was what I planned to be the final thing I make for Decodence someday 😛
I will not, however, re-create Syrons and Shadowdemons as whole races.
Hello Charlatan,
Thanks for making all this great stuff!
Other people can use your stuff to build great maps!I have a request that can also add to rpg-style maps:
The circus tent as a recruit site and a prison.
What do you think?
Heya Ten9,
that’s a good thought – shouldn’t be a lot of work and feels fresh, gonna add it to the list 🙂
and a prison.
Don’t we already have a prison?
It’s the good’ol Dungeon (Which is carrying over the prison aesthetic from AoW I and II/SM)
So Circus for Freak(Monsters)? aswell as happiness/unhappniess & Gold if in domain?
I agree to Thariorn there, though I may sometime find a concept for something more eccentric (Mountain-Fortress-Prison, Offshore-Ocean-Platform-Prison ?)
Before this and the Circus Tent, however, comes a Dreadnought Foundry treasure site, as requested in the early mod suggestion topic.
That circus, though. Gloweye and I made a mod extending Corrupt The Source to corrupt more structures, I could make a corrupted circus to allow recruiting monsters instead of animals.
Any chance of seeing some dwarf flavored terrain? Pillars statues and maybe some masonry cave walls?
Also awesome work. I am absolutely subbing this mod.

I’m still looking into somehow sorting the objects in the Editor, once I find a solution there I’d gladly add walls like the existing ones for each race, and similar probs.
I kept pondering masoned cave walls… hm…

One version of carved out (Underground)Halls HSould be enough and would fit into the standard subterranian theme, nor?

Adding Subgroups didn’t work as hoped?

Nay, but if Zaskow’s experiments work out, it might well work in the end 😮

The colors are still prone to change
Once again, looks good. Maybe a bit more red in the mix?
Can try, it previously looked quite rusty before and reduced the red a lot.

Very good. Though I’m sure that firtrees never become orange (at least except they are dead and dry).
Firs don’t, they become yellowish then the needles become brown and dry.
Pines turn the same orange as other trees though, at least here in Austria 😛
Although they still stay green longer than the rest, may incorporate that.

Yes, and then they fall. They don’t stay unless on a branch which was broken off a tree and got dry. At least most of the time.

I’m pretty sure they shouldn’t.
You have awfully wrong pines and firs in Austria! =(😛
Well, I guess, that world could have any colour of trees you like. Even purple. =)
Well, I was thinking more about a kind of sharp red, as if just the occasional tree. It’s always a weird sight if you have an authumn forest and suddenly such an american oak in between:
I think it would be good to have a bit of green and yellow as well. Never seen a forest that is all orange.
Other than that, super cool!
I improved the autumn forests to deviate further into green and yellow and red, and began on dwarven architecture like the existing walls, but with pillars and a masoned cavern wall. Also didn’t forget the Circus Tent.
For what’s on my mind beyond that, let me leave those pictures here:

(snip)Sounds like a plan. Want me to have a look as to what I can do with quest generation? I don’t know much yet, but I hope there might be possibilities.
Whoah! I am a big follower of the Spirit of War, I built his shrines in so many cities 🙂
What is your plan?

I followed all except order, BFF with Nature though ^^
I rarely ever have an actual plan, much improvisation.
For now, I plan to make “neglected” shrines for the spirits as visit structures, showing they are still around and still reward their disciples. Once that is done, (will take a while, these should be detailed work) I’ll gladly collaborate with Gloweye if he’s up, to bring these back.
Sorry, Allfather, but you are way too monotone 😛
Promising. Intriguing. Mystifying. Acceptable. Waiting for a result.

I think we can do that. What kind of rewards were you thinking about for what kind of actions? (Or let me know through messaging/uploading a document somewhere)

Is it possible to use casting of spells as facts/requirements for quests? Just hunting infidels and razing
structurestowers always seemed lacking. Especially for the Spirit of magic.Decodence 1.50 is a larger update compared to the previous ones once again, and will take a while longer.
It will not yet include the Abandoned Shrines, but many of the requests I got recently, the Autumn Theme, and a new Accessoire, possibly more.
Here’s a first look at the Accessoire, it’s a new variant of the Hood:
Charlatan, can you flip to the Open Beta branch and double chack your RMG issue is fixed?
Sure thing, on it.
Due to the unstable nature of the crash, sometimes not appearing at all, I will now generate 10 XL RMG maps.
After 10 XL RMG Maps the GCMaterialHexCellData.cpp related crash never happened, nice!
However, in 4 out of 10 RMG Maps the EHeap.cpp related crash still appeared 🙁
EDIT: 20 more XL RMG Maps created, the error didn’t appear, strange.
That error means you’re running out of memory I’m afraid. Which mods do you actually have installed when you’re running these tests?
You, Tibbles and iHunterKiller have all made mods that add a lot of new content into the game, and eventually memory issues are going to surface.
When I am testing I disable all other content mods except the one to be tested. In this case the only packages active were my Decodence Pack, and my Campaign, since it’s no mod. All together the custom content there sums up to 20mb archived, roughly 30mb as raw .dae and .dds.
I am not sure, but I think tabbing out / using steam overlay during the loading screen especially provoked this error.
EDIT:
It is vital for us modders to find some way to estimate the leeway we have in terms of memory, because otherwise we actually reach the dead end soon 😐 so may I ask a few questions?=> This isn’t the same as the infamous 32bit RAM issue, right? Because AOW3.exe was merely using 1700-1800 RAM during these tests, and levelEd-made-maps using twice that much run fine for me.
=> Everything I made is basically non existent in RMG maps, since it doesn’t use my themes or Decorations. At maximum the only new content in these tests was 1 Leader Accessoire smaller than 1MB in mesh and texture data. Why would it still ruin the RMG map?
