Custom armor and attack types

[Xarxos]

Hi, I've seen in Gem TD that they are using custom armor and attack types. I was just wondering, how do you add these?

 

[YoshiRyu]

add => impossible
replace the old ones => advanced menu, game interface for their design, game constant for their effect

Okay, that should work, thank you!

Hello there, this will be my first post after some hours of research and practice on my first map.

As i am trying to make something a little original, i would like to know if someone know the url of a tutorial or a thread where someone explain a little more how works this customization of "game interface" and "game constant" ?

I thank you in advance

Well it is actualy very simpel.... You just open them in advanced, and check custom values. Then it says what it does, so you just change to fit your needs, no tutorial realy needed.... if you can read english.

BTW, Introduce yourself to the hive: Introduction Tread

that's not as easy as you say if he doesn't have the english WE
i don't know for the other language, but for the french translation, sometime that's really really incomprehensible

samples :
the "ward" classification
in the game, "ward" is translated by "balise", which mean "beacon"
but in the WE, this is what they have done..
"ward" looks like "warden" so the translator has translated "warden"
"warden" doesn't have a direct french translation, so the translator use the closer word "garde"
("garde" direct english translation is "guard")
so in the french WE, the "ward" classification is called "guard" instead of "beacon"... that really doesn't help...

Ok i have tested the "game interface" to replace the standards icons with imported ones, and it is ok and easy as you said.

But it seems that the "game constant" screen will not be that way easy. Here is a screenshot of the damages modifiers of the constants screen :

Any of you know the exact match between those numbers and related armor types ? For exemple :

Chaos Damage - 1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00,1.00

I know this means Chaos attacks makes 100% damages to all armor, but what is the order ? Anyone know ?

Thanks in advance for the one who knows

Ok ok, after some existing map editing, i think i will be able to create some sort of tutorial explaining entirely the attack/defense/tooltips customization.

Hopping this will help, later on. Before the submission of this tutorial if someone is looking forward for some infos, just send me a PM, i will do my best to help.

 

[YoshiRyu]

Hopping this will help

It will
i think i'm not the only one who is borred to test it each time to find again this order
writting it somewhere will help for sure
