Can Megaglest handle other factions?
« on: 26 April 2010, 02:32:52 »
Can someone tell me if all the mods I use in glest(such as woodsmen, indians from megapack, romans, ect.) will work in the mega glest?

Any mod that works in regular Glest should work perfectly in MegaGlest.  If one doesn't, then I suspect that the MG developers would like to hear about it.

Yes, any regular Glest tech, map or tileset should work prefectly in Mega Glest. Thanks for the quick reply John :)

#3 - Can I play MEga Glest with different operating systems?
Answer: Currently the answer is no due to differences in how floating point calculations are done on different platforms. However this feature is currently in development and may be released in the near future.
Aren't you just talking about multiplayer or...  :|
if you are, you should state that...

Megaglest already comes with a lot more data then original glest!
The whole megapack is included here( an improved version! ) and much more.
But other stuff like for example all the vbros packs will all work with megaglest.

In general: everything that worked with original glest will work with megaglest too.

I hadn't seen Megaglest when I asked this so was very happy to see the Indians there.  I've since added the woodsmen and romans to that and also have all 5 vbros packs, which I've gone ahead and added the Indians to with no problem.  Sometimes I try to move something and the game crashes in the loading so it's trial and error but Indians work in all 5 vbros packs with no problem.

I have included most of the Vbros' factions, to name all of my factions:
Africa, Aztec, Ballz, Barbarians, Bugs, Canadians, Colonies, Crusaders, Dark_magic, Dwarfs, Egypt, Elementals, Elves, Goths, Indian, Magic, Mario, Martians, Moon, Norsemen, PC, Penguins, Persians, Pirates, Romans2, Science, Tech, Western, Woodsmen.
The only thing I found important: All data, which is included in a particular package file (for example megapack.xml for the Megapack), which are armor type, attack type and the damage multipliers, have to be included into the corresponding file of your collection and... to avoid the 'non-harvesting' bug (which, BTW, more likely seems to be a side effect): Delete the (as far as I know) not needed resources life, mushrooms and puff in the resources directory (these are included into Vbros pk. 2) - my Mega Glest (3.3.4) runs perfectly with this modifications on a WinXP SP3.
