I'v modified the orc mod to create the chosen chaos warriors mod, they are fearless and strong like orcs and have warhorses (modified horses) as mounts. The problem is that any enemy on a mount tries to run away from my soldiers. Here is the creature entry:

The running is due to an error in the pathfinding code that uses the horses pathfinding instead of the orc's. Try changing [LARGE_ROAMING] into [LARGE_PREDATOR] so that the horses will naturally seek out dwarves, and that should fix the problem I believe.

[warlordzephyr]

cheers.

Why don't you just modify the existing mounts (wolves, spiders, elephants) instead of trying to mess with the original horses? It would probably eliminate a lot of potential problems.

Modded wolf mounts, renamed to horse:

Because then it would be just a modified orc mod, i plan to release it after playtesting.

[blah28722]

I'v modified the orc mod to create the chosen chaos warriors mod,

Because then it would be just a modified orc mod

Wait, what?

[warlordzephyr]

It was to stop people going "you've just copied the orc mod".

[blah28722]

If you'd bother to look at the code, you'd be able to tell that I've already modified the horse entity far past being a copy of the original wolf. Its only copied parts would be their dwelling location (copied from vanilla wolves) and generic animal tags, which all animals possess.

I used the wolf mounts because they already possessed the behavior you would want, as opposed to the fairly docile horses.

Using a better template =/= copying

[warlordzephyr]

Let me do my mod.

[Deon]

Hey, it's ok, you don't copy the Orcs mod. You copy a very popular mod "Chaos Reigns". It has chaos chosen warriors which do a lot of damage to other races .

[warlordzephyr]

not really, it is just the same name for soldiers. I got the idea of chosen from warhammer. I'v actually never used the chaos reigns mod as i am clueless about RAR files.

so please stop going on about copying, i am making a major mod that includes that stuff i posted.

[Deon]

Great, create a thread for it with currently implemented features, probably it will drag more attention and some good suggestions.

Is it a warhammer mod?

P.S. RAR files are your ZIP files, just better.

[Rowanas]

pfft. screw RaR. do everything zipped. Everyone can acces zipped files, while RaR files require a rar converter. Zipped files are also more plug in and play, while you have to fuck around with rars

(I use a mac and as far as I can tell we don't touch rar, please, feel free to link me to a freeware rar converter for macOSX. My views on rars comes from being forced to use a Windows OS a couple of months ago.)

It doesn't really matter when the compressed files are .txt files that have virtually no size.

Trying to extract a .zip file with a decent size (>100mb I'd say) takes a stupidly long time compared to winRAR.

[Rowanas]

Unfortunately I rarely use anything but top-end macs, and when forced to use Windows it's usually on a pretty shite computer so I can't do any comparisons. I'll take your word for it, but still, zips can be used by all machines regardless of OS, and don't require buggering about.
