TM Backpack Upgraded 1.02

[Samu]

Hi! In this map, Backpack will allow your units to use items, not just carry them.

On a regular melee game, the units can only carry items when they research Backpack, but on this map, the units can actually use items or benefit from their properties!

Examples: A Footman with a Periapt of Vitality will have his hitpoints increased to 570!

A Shaman can use Clarity Potions to restore their mana.

However, there are some items that are only designed for heroes.

Examples: A Circlet of Nobility on a Grunt or Shaman doesn't do anything.

An Orb of Fire on a Knight won't allow the Knight to attack air, but he will still gain splash damage and +5 damage bonus.

This footman is using a periapt of vitality, and has used 2 manuals of health before that, so he has a maximum of 670 hit points! He also has a potion of greater healing which he used during combat. Also notice the rifleman on the top of the screen, he has an Alleria's Flute of Accuracy.


If you find any bugs, please post here!

And what happens when a normal unit picks up a stat tome or a no-mana unit picks up a mana increasing item?

GAME CRASH

Or at least that what normally happens. I havent tried this map, but I hope I can't guess thats that case here.

I was aware of that, and those power ups that increase hero strength, agility, or intelligence, experience tomes, have been removed from the drops. They won't drop. I tried to check all other items to see if they crash, and I haven't found any more crashes. Mana increasing items don't crash.
