Post news Report RSS 0.299 Hotfix coming

Next week I'll be releasing a hotfix with some basic fixes for Return of Shadow.

Return of Shadow

Return of Shadow Beta 0.299 News


Next week I'm planning to release a hotfix 0.299 to fix a few issues with the current build like missing models.
This version will come with a new map and an updated launcher.

Bugs



So that I can find as many issues as possible I need your help, post any bugs you find in the comments below stuff like game crashes, missing labels, missing models so that I can fix them for this version.

I'm too busy working on the new Morgul faction and reviewing Lorien, Rivendell and working on Freeps to put in a lot of testing time on the currently released factions so I'm hoping that by crowd sourcing the search a little I can be more efficient.

I'm pushing back this hotfix a week or so since I've spent most of the last week in bed very ill.

Hey Radspakr, I have two quick issues. So I go into the good campaign on the first mission in Moria, but only the four Hobbits and Gandalf appear. And when I attempt to go into the evil campaign, it crashed my game. I do have the Elven Alliance mod, the BFME 1 HD mod, the T3A online mod and this mod installed along with the BFME 2 HD mod. If you could please help me out with this, I will greatly appreciate it.

Ok, so, bugs and mistakes (part 1):

- Fiefdoms are broken - the specialisation menu in from Gondor, as well as Upgrades.
- Free Peoples AI simply doesn't work
- AI uses buildings in shouldn't have, like siege thingies in bases, bot expansions. Dundland AI is the biggest sinner in this regard - with a panoply of isengard orc pits, mordor smelters and what I think is a farm that spawns troops.
- Lothlorien Wardens are a Level 2 unit and it isn't written in their description. Only that they are Peltast unit
- Visions of Galadriel passive power doesn't work on all maps
- You can't demolish a Sentry Fleet

-Got a screenshot for that?
-Known the AI work on pretty much on all maps from A-E I think plus any maps recently added.
-I've been trying to make them behave for years, no luck.
-I'll look into it.
-Deliberate, I had to take it out otherwise when cancelling it the archers stick around.

Bugs and mistakes (part 2. Now with screenshots):

Ok, so...after a little of more testing I must correct myself
- Fiefdoms have Gondors stuff on 75% of camp maps
- Free People AI works, but still not on all maps AND not on all A-E maps either

now, to the new ones!
- Arwen Undomiel is missing a model
Dropbox.com
- Halbardiers are a Rank 3 Erebor Unit, not 2
Dropbox.com
- Erebor Tower (the expansion one, not in the base) is a Missing Object
Dropbox.com
- Sometimes Fiefdoms main building blacks out and becomes unavailable for some period of time
Dropbox.com
- Rivendell Castle Wall has a small graphical error that makes one of the expansions invisible
Dropbox.com

And a few suggestions:
- Can you make horse archers to shoot while they move? While I know that will be annoying, but without this they are literally useless compared to a normal cavalry, that only needs to charge to destroy 75% of every unit in the game
- Can you make some bonuses for markets and other buildings that are completely useless once they you research all of the upgrades? IDK, why make them a building, if it's only purpose after it is to eat space?

Cavalry Archers - Not doable in a horde unfortunately I've looked into this in the past.

Markets- That is actually being worked on for Beta 0.3.

Fair enough. Should I continue my quest for bugs and errors, or am I talking out of my arse and must stop before it's too late?

- Pinnath Gelin Warriors Shieldwall crashes the game
- Riding Lances short-cut is D, Demolish is D as well and there are 5 upgrades in the Belfas Armory, so you can't manually demolish buildings, before you purchase the upgrade (even if you don't need it
- Horse Shields have Missing Object thingy (that's a common issue)

Hm...oh, just in case - I'm gonna keep the screenshots folder up until the new version comes out and update it as soon as I find new bugs and mistakes, so feel free to come visit it...or ignore it completely, as you wish, I just got a little bit tired with linking the stuff to the same damn folder over and over.

For me, the biggest "bug" is, that something about 70% of Dunland units are invisible - missing objetcs.. It's so crap :x

When I started the game it said me
Expected floating point value or predefined macro,
but found 'ROHANELVEN_MELEE_DAMAGE_UPGRADE'
Error parsing field 'Damage' in block 'Weapon' in file
'Data\INI\Weapon.ini', line 3340. Error parsing field 'Damage' in block 'Weapon' in file 'Data\INI\Weapon.ini', line 3340. Error parsing INI block ' Damage' in file 'Data\INI\Weapon.ini'.
Because of the severity of this error the game will now exit.
