Runes of the Karaz Ankor - Unit Upgrades for the Dwarfs

Description
Working with 6.3

Adds several unit upgrades for the Dwarf factions in the game working similar to the Greenskin scrap upgrades. The upgrades are not exclusive and cost a varying amount of oathgold, which makes this resource even more valuable especially in the late campaign. In the early game the availability of oathgold is rather sparse so decisions have to be made what is needed and what is not.

Minor incompatibility issue when used alongside Mixu's Legendary Lords: A submod is needed for it to work without issues

FAQ
Q: Why won't the scrap upgrade window open when clicking on the unit cards?
A: Since 6.0 the old scrap upgrade UI got removed by CA. The new one can be opened by clicking on the button at the bottom of the army panel.

Q: Why doesn't the upgrade button in the army panel always show?
A: The script tries to add it every time you left-click select one of your armies. If it doesn't show right away try deselecting and reselecting the army until it does. This issue is rather rare in single player but quite common in multiplayer campaigns.

Q: Can you add suport for [insert unit mod] or [insert faction mod]?
A: The base mod will always exclusively support official CA units and factions and I won't create submods for faction or unit mods that I don't personally play with. But feel free to suggest it in the comments as other users of those mods might read it and decide to do so.

Q: Will you create more mods for different factions?
A: The only mod that I currently want to create sooner or later is a Dark Elf mod. I will consider a mod for chaos daemon and monogod factions afterwards.

Q: Is it safe to add/remove the mod mid campaign?
A: Generally speaking adding it mid campaign should be possible but certain features like unlocking upgrades through research could cause issues. I wouldn't recommend removing it from an existing campaign though, especially when units equipped with upgrades are present on the campaign map or if the mod adds a new pooled resource to factions.

Q: Update?
A: Tell me what stopped working in the current version of the game or which units are missing upgrades and I will try to fix it as soon as I find the time. Update requests without any information won't be answered.


Special thanks to Rhox for providing the modding community with a script based solution for the 6.0 Scrap UI issue

@tovDmitrij I guess it would be possible, but this is out of the scope for this mod. I am using the game's default upgrade panel so in case CA adds that feature it should actually work with all of my upgrade mods

Good afternoon. Is it possible to add a button that allows me to buy all upgrades for a specific unit at once ? It would be much more convenient than having to press the "upgrade" button for each individual upgrade hundreds of times. Thank you.

@Orthranus you should also add the norse dwarf mod as depency btw but I don't know what the packfile is called so you would need to look it up
Dirty Dan  [author] Jul 3 @ 11:05pm 
@Orthranus since this this seems to be an entire custom faction with a complete roster the easiest way to achieve baseline compatibility would be to create carbon copies of the upgrades that require technologies they don't have access to and link them to the modded units. This should be possible using the unit_purchasable_effects_tables and unit_purchasable_effect_sets_tables only. When you got rpfm running and created a new packfile, use the depencies manager to add my DD_dwf_runes.pack and generate the dependency cache so the keys to the upgrades are known to the program without having to copy-paste them into your submod

That sorta sounds like something I could learn to do, however the mod I was looking at, the Norse Dwarves by Cataph has a different technology tree entirely meaning that unless units reach a certain rank only the baseline runes are available. That I have no idea where to begin.

@Orthranus I'm sorry that I misread your question. Adding upgrades to units from other mods is very easy when you are familiar with rusted packfile manager. Check the submod section and the description and especially Apex' compilation to see which unit mods are already covered. Adding it to allied units is not so easy for upgrades that use pooled resources since the costs stay the same. In case of this specific mod no non-dwarf faction would have access to oathgold and therefore wouldn't be able to buy a single upgrade.

Apologies I was referring to units from other mods and units from allies
Dirty Dan  [author] Jul 2 @ 1:38pm 
@Orthranus I tried this once in warhammer 2 and it worked back then, but the unit will lose all upgrades every time the current mount is changed. This happens because the game will internally just swap out the unit with the corresponding mounted variant. So in case of a lord with a 3 mount progression he would lose all upgrades at least 3 times and everytime afterwards when manually changing mounts. I didn't test it at all in game 3 but have no reason to expect different behaviour

From a technical perspective is it possible to create a version of this mod that can apply the upgrades to all non hero/lord units in an army?

@Frozen_Sun it's working
