Does BW2 itself work properly? I can only guess that it might be a DirectX problem, or a driver problem. It shouldn't even open if it's not unstuffed (I think o_o), so... Try, if possible, updating your video card drivers and DirectX to whatever the latest you can use is.
Wait, online? When did this start to happen?
I haven't been watching this project much, but if you guys can pull that off, that'd pwn.
But did you ever get a response from Lionhead? (probably says somewhere, but I'd have to go through 15 pages...)
It's not code we're talking about, just the map editor.
There might be performance problems or glitches (doubt it), but yeah, it doesn't noticeably do anything to hurt the map.
Unfortunately, I found out that last fact (that it doesn't matter) late. So my last landscape I was testing looks like I just used auto-layer over and over (I did) :(
But yeah, as far as I can see it's just a big red message, but unlike most big red messages you don't need to pay attention at all.
I think it's dependant on your alignment, too, what part of the day it gets stuck in. (If I remember right, I had good god and it was stuck at day - my neutral-evil one was twilight.)
But yeah, it annoyed me (not because of the creature issues; I didn't think about that at the time) but because...
Whoa what.
I stopped playing BW2 a while ago, and just started again. Now, while looking for a way to run in windowed with Bloom (bloom sort of screws up and makes everything rlyrly bright) I found this thread. Anyway, since I've neglected to post here for a year or so, I'll just add this and...
I stopped by at Gamestop a week or two ago (and neglected to post this) to buy the Black and White 2 expansion. They didn't have it. Even worse, they said it was canceled (I forget the exact word they used, but it wasn't being manufactured anymore)
Has anyone else heard about this? They did...
SET_LAND_NUMBER(10)
Is this a skirmish map? If so, I think it should be set to 0 (Can't check now, but I think that was it XD)
"SET_A_TOWNS_INFLUENCE_MULTIPLIER"
Try SET_TOWN_INFLUENCE_MULTIPLAYER
(Also, each town, I THINK, can have only five or six spells, any others get cut off in-game. ...
Do you have the 1.1 and 1.2 patches?
When I first got BW2 it ran great, and then all the sudden large amounts of people (well, 30+ zoomed in) would lag it to where I could barely alt+tab out. The patches fixed it for me (I think the 1.2 one, specifically)
I wanna buy Fable 2 solely for the dog at this point (that and because Fable 1 pwned).
With that said, the creature WAS a disappointment in BW2, but I still like it almost as much as BW1 for some of the newer features (mainly the whole war thing). And it makes for better screenshots, if...
I vaguely remember my custom maps having a light blue square engulfing the whole map even when I played them. If that's what you mean, try turning up the opacity of the water.
Actually, it's probably the computer. I'm running XP on a virtual machine, but I didn't say anything because then everyone would be reluctant to answer :0
Just a matter of configuring it to work, I'm thinking.
D:
And yes, other CD's work. (I installed Sim City 3000 earlier since it doesn't use much memory)
Nevermind. I just wanted to know if it was a common problem wtih Black and White, or something else. I guess something else XD
