more Ressources harvesting problem(Worker harvest only Gold and Stone)

[RealtimeFreak]

i would like, that the Worker more Ressources harvested.
Ok,I have set follow settings in the XML file worker.xml

what i say can: the worker harvestet only Gold and Stone /:
to other Ressources: the worker geht to the other ressources, Animation beginns, and Worker stands still
than get the worker not back to the Base, shorty say: thats a endless Animation from the Worker, but returns the Base not and stand still.

i have the Ressources placement set in the Map Editor.

here my Worker.xml file:

// I HAVE CHANGED THE RESSOURCES PLACEMENT IN THE MAP EDITOR


what can i do?

It thats a generally Ressource Limit?

srry for my Bad English..

[ultifd]

Can you please provide a screenshot? (press "E" to take one)
This is in GAE, right? I mean I know you posted it in the GAE board, but sometimes... 
Good Luck.   

[silnarm]

Do you have somewhere that the workers can store these new resources ??

Code: [Select]

<!-- my_new_store.xml -->
<unit>
   <parameters>
      ...
         <resources-stored>
            <resource name= "my_new_resource" amount="1500"/>
            ...


[RealtimeFreak]

ok i see what you meen

now, the problem is ever still available /:

is that right so?

the code:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>

<!-- *** parameters *** -->

EDIT: okay it works ^^, great thx

i have a Generaly Question:

how many Ressources supportet GAE, can you give me a Number?
i see the Map Editor supportet Max 6 Ressource Places.
can i that changed more at 6 in the Map Editor ?

[silnarm]

The problem is they have nowhere to take the resources when they are fully loaded. You need a 'store' unit that can store them.

Look at the castle's XML, it can store gold(2000), wood(1200), stone(1500) and food(150).

You need a unit that can store your new resources, then when workers are loaded up, they will go to said store to drop them off, and return to harvest more. The reason they stop is because they have nowhere to unload the new resources.

[silnarm]

It's 5, and it can't be changed without breaking all existing maps, so it wont be lifted any time soon.

[RealtimeFreak]

uhh that is yes a little stupid /:

i think, for more ressources placement
i must wait for a Version where supportet more Ressources 

ok, thanks just the same.

[titi]

Its 5 ressources in the map editor, but look at the wood ressource, its made a different way, so maybe you can add more this way?
And this are only the harvestable ressources, of course you can have other ressources too, like energy in the magic faction or housing for the indians.

[RealtimeFreak]

Okay thx

[RealtimeFreak]

me again what noticed:

i placed all free Custom Ressources 3,4,5 on the Map with the Glest Map Editor.
I placed Ressource 3,4,5 in the Ressource Folder and set the Ressources in files down
but.. the AI,harvesting only 2 Ressources ,if the Ressources from Editor
in the Map implementet,than failure the AI system.The AI make follow:
1. AI stands still a while
2. AI attacks my Base with all Units from AI
3. AI build buildings, but not Units
4. the AI harvesting not.
other to similar..

what can that be?

[silnarm]

Does the faction have units that require the new resources to build? If it doesn't need the resources the AI is unlikely to harvest them

[RealtimeFreak]

yes my workers supportet the ressources in the XML files.
the AI Player played the same faction the i play.
but not to make : /

[silnarm]

You need more than just a worker who can harvest them, you also need other units that require those new resources to be built.  If the AI does not need a resource, it will not assign any workers to harvesting it.

You need to give the AI a reason to harvest it, then you should find that it does

[RealtimeFreak]

no,no the AI Player harvested generally not when i the new Ressources add in the files.

[modman]

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but may I suggest that you also will need to have those resources on the map?

Also, what units in your faction require these new resources?  If the buildings don't require the new ones, this is why the AI builds them.

[RealtimeFreak]

again to situation.
the problem comes from the Ressource folder in Glest.
so me all understand:

to ahead: required Ressources have i set to many units,that has not brought.

so to problem , the Ressource folder have default moderate: energy,food,gold,stone,wood (thats all 5 Ressources)
node:
energy = its static(thats 1 Ressource)
food= its Consumable(thats 1 Ressource)
gold,wood,stone, its harvesting from the map (thats 3 Ressources)
now,if i add a new harvesting Ressources in that Ressource folder, then ocours that problem with the AI of.

i mean a limit of the harvesting Ressources blocks the AI system,if more at 3 harvesting Ressources in the file folder placed.

if i the new [harvesting Ressources] from the folder Remove, then its that AI system again normaly.

i hope now, understand me all?

[silnarm]

Ok, I've done some poking around... there is no limit of 5 'tech' resources, it is indeed a limit in the map editor.
There is a limit of 10 tileset objects, in the map object/resource 'slot' per tile they are 1-10 (with 0 being no object/resource), anything > 10 is a tech resource, the map format use an int8 per tile for object/resource so the game can actually support up to 117 tech resources.

The logic in the AI seems to be fine, they should be harvesting resources they need. Will investigate properly in due course, but am a bit busy with other things atm.

Cheers.

Okay, now i have follow changed:

Code: [Select]

//read objects
for (int j = 0; j < h; ++j) {
for (int i = 0; i < w; ++i) {
int obj;
fread(&obj, sizeof(int), 1, f1);
if (obj <= 100) {
cells[i][j].object = obj;
} else {
cells[i][j].resource = obj - 100;
}
}
}

Code: [Select]

//write objects
for (int j = 0; j < h; ++j) {
for (int i = 0; i < w; ++i) {
if (cells[i][j].resource == 0)
fwrite(&cells[i][j].object, sizeof(int), 1, f1);
else {
int res = cells[i][j].resource + 100;
fwrite(&res, sizeof(int), 1, f1);
}
}
}
state remains unchanged /:

WHY HELP ME NOBODY?
