I want your mods!

I should be able to come up with a quicky line that you can do to fix that. Some SED or TR command to convert them all to lower case.

Just tried Insectiods. It worked fine. Quite interesting mod with the one way shapeshifting breeding machines. It took me a while to realize that I had a mictlanish sacrifice dependent dominion.

I imagine the swarm queens are rather powerful. 3 monthly flying freespawns with fear and 19 def seems quite a bargain.

Choke-points are definitely that mods friends. Dominion 10 at a chokepoint with a few spawners and you have an army per turn. To fight against you the enemy HAS to fight your dominion or its all over.

The capital letter issue is quite a recurring issue. I just always make sure to run dominions via a terminal window the first time I use a new mod. Then when it crashes it tells you which file caused the problem. So I rename that file and try again, till it works. It generally takes two or three attempts with each new mod.

Gandalf's idea is a good one, it should be possible to fix automatically.

ls */*.tga */*.rgb | awk '{print "mv " $1 " " tolower($1);}' | csh
# If you get a bunch of "file does not exist" messages, make the directories.

awk '{fout = ARGV[ARGIND] "_fixed";} {pmode = 1;} /\.rgb/ || /\.tga/{print tolower($0) > fout; pmode = 0;} (pmode == 1){print $0 > fout;}' *.dm

ls *_fixed | awk '{print "mv " $1 " " substr($1,1,length($1)-6);}' | csh

# Try that.

# Er.... back up your mods directory first.

I'm currently in the process of making sure my mods are linux friendly. All releases from this point onwards will have no case issues.

In fact this week/end I will hopefully rerelease all of them fixed for linux.

Ulm Reborn will also get a couple more pretender choices and I'll do some CBM version work. Sylvania and Avernum maybe.

I arrived at 3 after alot of testing. They are so easy to rout that less than 3 wouldnt be worth it.

True, they routed a lot, but fear can be devastating. I don't think they are that powerful initially, but when armies grow they might be.

An army of 1000 is as vulnerable to fear as an army of 100. One fear unit can cause the whole squad to be forced to make a fear check, even if it has not lost 25% of its initial members.

This script should fix the case issues.

Run it in your mods directory. For the love of God do not run it anywhere else or you'll be very very sorry.

Let me know if it doesn't work.
