!#UN:G1/#1/#2/$;
Change Monster names.
  #1 - Number of Monster (see Creature Format)
  #2 - Type of text
        0 - Singular name
        1 - Plural name
        2 - Specialty text
  $ - z variable (or its number) that keep the new text
        0 means restore original

In your case you will use 2 - Specialty text. Look it any wog map to see this script used properly, as need to store text in z variable.

Thanks so much!

I looked at one of the wog maps and the code wouldn't work, but the one from script46 (Berserker Flies) worked.

I did this guide when I was a noob in ERM, today I wish could redo it because many mistakes in. First one is that abilities should start with B6 and not B5 (speed, you overwritten it). Second big mistake, it is chaotic.

!!EA142:B6/1/117/144/100/100/100/100/100/100/100/100/100/100/100;

This allows my 7th level creature to summon a pack of wolves (I turned nomads into my 7th level and trolls into wolves).  However it only summons the number of the 7th level creature.

So if there's 10x 7th level creatures it summons 10 wolves.

Is there a way to make it so if there's 10x 7th level creatures that 50 wolves are summoned?  I'd like five times the number of the 7th level creatures to be summoned as wolves.

I'm confused by your response.

It looks like you're telling me to add :2 (I'm assuming that means double)to after the 100, but that didn't work.  I tried after the 117 for summon and after the 144 for wolf.

If 100 means the monster clone its exact number, what would be the value to clone its half?

Ah... I was thinking that the 100 was a percent chance that it'd summon instead of the percentage of how many creatures.

Looks like it's capping at 244%, any chance you know how to make it 500%?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, 100 is the percent of creatures summoned.

I have a question and perhaps it best fits here.

I have the following problem:

I have QS, which replaces Dragoliches with Stormbirds. I want to have both available, so I exported the Dragolich defs (battlefield and map) from a backup H3sprites.lod, renamed them to the corresponding Power lich defs and put them in my H3sprites.lod.

At first look it seems alright, but when Dragoliches attack (shooting), the game crashes.

I know shooting animation causes problems, but I expected original Dragolich not to cause conflict with the Lich shooting animation. Obviously I was wrong. My question is how can I fix this?

I don't know a way to avoid that. So far each creature has its own shooting pattern and replacing by another can cause crash. The parameters are in Cranim.txt but I don't have a clue how and where to modify.

Thank you for the quick response. Alright, then there should be a way to go around this issue if I can't solve it. If I replace a non-shooter unit with Dracolich, will it be able to shoot, using its own shooting pattern, therefore avoiding the crash? My guess is IF this is possible, I will have to edit the number of shots in ZCRTRAIT.txt?

Edit: it works, I replaced Sacred phoenixes. I will have to look into changing the icons, too, just the two def files don't do the whole job

Of course, as I expected, they don't shoot. I will have to add this with a script. Will be needed anyway to rewrite the abilities.

Devastated there isn't a log of scripts corresponding to all creatures' abilities, would have been a great relief in terms of time. But it is as it is.
