Elf Faction 0.9.7 & 2.0A (Both MG Compatible)

[MadElf]

LoL, taking it off would be a awesome idea!
What I'm trying to say is:
all factions have the 3: Gold, Stone and Wood. And some other comsuption thing, I think we could make the Elves could do something like Grace or another harvesting resource in the place of wood and another resource that they use, could be food or whatever else.

[-Archmage-]

hmm well....any ideas?

[MadElf]

Energy, spirits, Dryades, Food, that thing trees have inside them (the sticky thing), I dunno...

[-Archmage-]

i really think we should create a new animation for the elf
where he harvests the wood but instead of chopping the wood he sings in an ancient language to it and it rewards him with wood

The word you're looking for is "sap", I think.

That would be better, but the problem is that the trees would still get destroyed.

tree's do die
and it's a game

[MadElf]

I've run out of ideas, why don't we just erase anything related with wood?
I don't see any wood in the Buildings of Rivendell, we could just don't use any wood.

[-Archmage-]

ok i'll take the wood out

[gameboy]

NIce!!
About the trees, these elves are based on LOTR and not on the Inheritance cycle, although I like the books I don't like the portrayal of the elves in it.
And please don't take wood out, it would totally unbalance the game. Make them harvest wood slowly and buildings requirer only a small
amount of wood.
Also if wanna know about the elves and the reasoning behind the way I designed them please check out the guide which is provided or the web site.

Have you ever read LOTR?
The elves would not hurt a tree ever.

Hmm, so they are cutting out them painless...

Have you ever wondered, what do elves use to build their houses?

Have you ever wondered, what do elves use to make the bows?

Good idea.  The elves wouldn't want to cause any more destruction than they had to, so they would harvest slowly and carefully, and they'd be sure to get the most use out of the wood, so they wouldn't require as much.

They use that fake plastic wood that you get on floors and kitchen sideboards 

[MadElf]

Nevermind, do whatever you want, everone has a different view of this, as I said, they sing to trees to make their stuff. But do whatever you guys want, is not my mod anyways.

[-Archmage-]

ok we will keep the "wood" resource and i will modify it to harvest wood slowly and not need very much of it!

So paying respect for other lifeforms means to you, that you will starve to death?

[MadElf]

What? ???

Hello all!
After I transferred from Glest 3.1.2 to 3.2.1, under Linux Ubuntu 9.04, I painfully noticed that Elves faction 0.8 wasn't working: after perfectly loading all the tech tree, at the moment of rendering all the stuff it had a segmentation fault 
I wasn't able to find any problem with it, could anyone help me?
Thanks!

[Omega]

Did you try it a few times? Sometimes Glest gets funky. I noticed this when testing a lot, since occasionally (1/15 times), it would crash at loading images, and say that it could open it, although it works fine after that.

Might be your linux OS, I've heard of this before.

[ocirne94]

Hello omega, thank you for your answer;
it gives me segmentation fault 9 times on 10, in all tech trees, alone or with other 10 factions. The odd thing is that with Glest 3.1.2 it worked! Does Glest have a debug mode?
Thanks,
Ocirne

Please stop offtopic talking here! Start a new thread in the linux section to discuss this problem!

You do that, thanks.

Yeah thats kinda like the idea.

hey, i have a problem with the prince. its says attack type not found:instant (or something similar to that). can someone tell me how to fix it?

Every tech tree has an XML file that defines what attack types and armor types it uses, so it sounds like that's missing here.  If you put the elf faction into your Magitech tech tree, then you'll have to modify "magitech.xml" (in the Glest_###/techs/magitech directory, where ### is whatever version number you have) to include it.  It probably should have come with the download, though...

[Omega]

Why? Just change the 'instant' type in the prince to 'piercing'. There's no need for new types.
