Title: when is the next update to the game! some ideas
Post by: Warbux on February 19, 2025, 02:18:22 PM
ok ... how do you all feel about making a mode where we can still get  rally check points an see the health of units above there heads with out the rebalance of the lust or heals... because i really want to play the rebalance mode but i guess people dont like the rebalance of the heals or lust but i love being able to use the rally points from the buildings like sending peons str8 to mine or sending grunts str8 to a choke point ...

alsoooo theres a few maps id like to be added to the Ladder RU folder if we could .. does any 1 know of a upcoming update to the game?

Rally points feature i already released in one of the pack features in this mod thread, besides nobody cares:

https://gamebanana.com/mods/560126

rally points
auto-heal
packs of tilesets
ranger/paladin/ogre-magi/berserker custom sprites
repairable catapults
and i think several others

they're customizable and separate from each other to just add them as add-ons to your base War2Combat installation.

The only thing this mod don't have is actual health/mana bars. Ed gorod may be capable to include in future.

--------
Rally points are already a reality since like 1-2 years ago already in other mods i did like Road of heroes or Trolls revolution. Re-balance from my terms was also included in these mods like:
healing is 4mana/1hp cost
archers/trolls slightly faster attack speed than base game
rangers/berserkers get attack speed boost by that upgrade as well.

gryphons/dragons faster attack speed
skeletons more HP, more armor, more attack speed

The rally plugin won't work online unless all players have it installed, it will drop/desync the moment its used.

If you are still interested, try updating lambchops(lc.dll, attacthed), goes in War2 folder.

The mod thread specifically states that *** Rally point *** feature is enabled for *** Single player *** games.

In multiplayer, you can enable Rally points, alongside many other features if you select in Lobby - game to "Rebalanced" or  "Triggers" modes. I dont remember which one of them.

The mod thread i did was most specially designed for Single player usage. Either base game or to make any more complex mods.
Single player = campaigns nor custom maps.

The plugins in that mod probably can work in multiplayer if all players share the same plugin in Plugin folder from War2Combat, but haven't checked it.
