Is there any way to edit the resources carried by a Peon? That is, if a Peon is carrying 100 lumber, can I change it so that he is carrying 125 lumber instead? |

use conditions lots of conditions!! :D such as unit returns (wood) action would be give owner of unit 25 wood (i think heh) |

I'm already doing this. It works fine, but its annoying to keep seeing the "+100" graphic appear over your Lumber Mill, when a proper Warcraft 2 lumber mill would have "+125". Or is there any Special Effect which creates those numerical "+X" resource-gain numbers? |

Guest | You can edit AbilityData.slk. Locate "Harvest" ability. Then you need to edit Data12 and change the base amount of lumber it can carry. This should allow the peons to carry 125 wood and have +125. |

Yeah, but that doesn't really help for my War 2 mod... I need peasants and peons to harvest 100 lumber when there's no lumber mill and 125 lumber when there IS a lumbermill, but they should harvest 125 lumber while only dealing 100 damage to the trees. (Setting lumber harvest amount to 125 will make them deal 125 damage to trees) I was thinking more along the lines of some WorldEditor mod that lets you dynamically change unit properties... like how in Starcraft you could change the number of Interceptors carried by a Carrier... but with Peons and Resources. Maybe that's not possible though. =( |

doesnt the 25+ come only when returned to lumber mill? |

No, it is a generalized benefit. If you have a Castle, you will also recieve the +20 gold even when returning Gold to an Expansion townhall. |

Oh - silly me! With more careful inspection, Scio's UMS World Editor already has a field for "Set player Gold Upkeep" and "Set player Lumber Upkeep". These fields can be set to negative numbers to make War2 style bonuses. They work great! However, now I have a different problem. Every few seconds, the words "No Upkeep" keep popping up on screen to remind me that I've messed with the upkeep system. Does anyone have any clue how to get rid of that "No Upkeep" text? Is there a blp or something that I can set to all-transparent to make it invisible? |
