In Response To: Selecting modified units in M2 (Mattt)

: I've been changing several of the standard Myth 2 units
: into chickens, but unfortunately when I double click
: on a chicken archer, it selects ALL chicken units
: (dwarves, warlocks, etc.) I think I need to change
: something in Fear, but I'm not sure what. Ideas?

unfortunately there's not much you can do about it. :(

basically, when you double click on something it selects all units using the same collection. there's nothing you can really do in fear to fix your problem. what you'll need to do is change some collections.

if you're on a mac, goto vista.theresistance.net and grab amber. then open the "large install" file inside the myth 2 tags folder. scroll down until you find the chicken collection. open it and "save as" into the following path:

myth 2:local:collections:

now do this again, but first changing the name and tag id code, a four letter string that identifies the tag within the myth engine. if you don't change the tag id code, myth will get confused and it won't work.

do this until you have enough collections for all the units you want. this way, you can also change some particular visual attributes for each monster.

: thx.

all the best,
