Hi, I wonder if there are any way to create new armor types? And if there is a way to Import/Export the Gameplay Constants? Then please tell me how!

Gameplay Interface(or whatever it was):
Is there any way to rename the Food in the fame to four different things?
I mean that (example) undead have meat instead of food, humans have wheat instead of food, night elfs have moonlight instead of food and orcs have hyuman blood instead of food???

The examples suxx I know! I was jsut writing this in haste! ;)

What i meant was if there was any way to have that the food text was different on every race..

Pretty sure that the one food supply text is used for all races. No luck, there.

As far as changing armor types, you can change the damage ratio that a damage type does to an armor type in Gameplay Constants, and you can change the icons and text in Game Interface. You cannot, however, add in new damage and armor types, but rather only overwrite the old ones. There's a spare unused attack type, but just one, if memory serves.

There are tooltips/icons for an "unknown" attack type, but i don't think it can be set to be used by a unit. I'm trying to think if there is an extra attack type, but it's been awhile since i did anything with that sort of thing. Hopefully just editing existing attacks can give you what you need.

I don't think it's possible to export/import gameplay constants, but i'm not sure. If nessecary, you could just copy the map, then clear all the terrain, units, doodads, ect. out of the map and start over with the constants on a new map.

This isn't a bad idea.. Cos in the campaing we are making the terrains do have to look almost the same as before... ALMOST
