I hope that some official staff will heed what I say. I have several mature titles released in mods, and my strength can be reflected through these works. I hope the official will put more effort into building the editor. I’ve been exposed to this classic game since elementary school and it brings me precious memories, which is probably one of the reasons I’ve been able to keep playing for so long, and I’m sure it gets better.
However, I was very disappointed by the recent update, again with an inexplicable error, I don’t know if this was a suggested change or a self-made change: “Customized units (units with changed names) in scenarios are no longer affected by general changes to the base unit.”
When I create a new unit using AGE, it is clear that I need to change the name to distinguish it, and previously such changes did not cause the unit to be independent, but now, I cannot modify the health value using the xs function and the trigger modification attribute. This would make the new unit created by AGE useless, and it could only have one fixed attribute, which is a very bad change.
I don’t know whose suggestion it was, and I would like to give a reason for the change. Authors who actually make mods are rare, and I hope that players who give this type of advice are experienced, productive, and not casual.
The new work I recently made required a change in attribute health, but it doesn’t work because of the update. I’ve written more than 1500 lines of xs code and created more than 50 new units with AGE, which is a brand new attempt, but now, because of this official update, it can no longer function. If interested, I can send out the code of the work and the video of the show. I’m sure no one has done that before. I’ve made real equipment slots and corresponding equipment and items.
In addition, I also found that there are problems with other editors, if it is not an experienced author, I will not care about these problems, if the official really wants the editor to be more perfect, more authors to create, I hope the official can talk to me separately. It is no exaggeration to say that more than half of the online scene graphs that often appear in the game are from self-created QQ groups, and it is more helpful to talk to the mod author who has the deepest contact with the player than to explore aimlessly.
Reminder: I first wrote this article using Chinese and then google translate into English, if there is something I don’t understand, please let me know, I will speak more clearly.

有3年mod制作经验的作者自白
我希望有官方工作人员能够重视我所说的话。我有几部成熟的作品发布在模组里,我的实力可以通过这些作品体现出来。我希望官方能花费更多的精力打造编辑器。我从小学就开始接触这款经典的游戏,它给我带来了珍贵的回忆,这也许是我能坚持玩这么久的原因之一,我相信它能变得更好。
但是,最近的更新让我感到非常失望,再次出现了莫名其妙的错误,我不知道这是被建议修改还是自作主张的改动:“Customized units (units with changed names) in scenarios are no longer affected by general changes to the base unit.”
当我使用AGE创建一个新的单位后,很显然我需要换一个名字进行区分,以前这样的改动不会导致单位被独立化,但是现在,我使用xs函数与触发器修改属性都不能进行生命值的修改。这将使AGE创建的新单位变得十分无用,它只能拥有一个固定的属性,这是及其糟糕的改动。
我不知道是谁的建议,我希望给出一个改动的理由。真正制作mod的作者是十分稀少的,我希望给出这类建议的玩家是有经验的,有作品的,而不是随口一提。
我最近制作的新作品需要用到属性生命值的改动,但是现在因为更新不能运作。我已经写了1500多行的xs代码,用AGE创建了50多个新单位,这是一次全新的尝试,但是现在,因为官方这次的更新,他不能再运作。如果感兴趣,我可以将作品的代码和展示的视频发出来。我敢保证在这之前没有人做过。我已经做出了真正的装备栏以及对应的装备和道具。
除此之外我还发现有其它编辑器的问题,如果不是有经验的作者,是不会在意这些问题的,如果官方真心想要编辑器更完美,有更多的作者进行创作,我希望官方能和我单独谈谈。毫不夸张的说,目前游戏里经常出现的联机场景图有一半多都出自我创建的qq群里面,与其漫无目的的探索,不如和玩家接触最深的mod作者谈谈带来的帮助更大。
提醒:我先使用中文写出这篇文章,然后用谷歌翻译为英文,如果有不明白的地方,请告知,我将说得更清晰一些。
