No. It is hardcoded.

Hey when the creatures are added to the game, will they enter the 'pool' of random creatures placed on a map? That would be a good functionality I think.

@Kegolo
But the functionality could be easily added as part of wogify scripts (most of it - for example it's no help for creature bank config which contains random level N monster entry)

I actually just scan the map for all conflux creatures and replace each level with the Covenant level creatures, so I already figured this out. But thanks

Would there be a fix after ERA 2.2 would be released?
New ERA API is going to have a command for registering block redirection, and I believe Amethyst has quite much of them. Adding just a few or bit more lines to plugin code would grant due to new ERA API, a compability with scripts using UN:C codes for same tables as the ones Amethyst relocate - so it would allow to keep working any memory editing function (like choosing projectile for shooter in runtime or making creature a "native" caster for a while) while beeing able to have shiny feature of Amethyst to use creature slots above 196. It would also be nice if future version of Amethyst would allow per-creature config files also for creatures in standard range (ones <=196).

Does Amethyst support numbers below 196? Has anyone tried making a CR0.def and corresponding files and such? If this works, someone should delete all the creature files and replace them with corresponding CR## creatures, so then people could easily change them with the config files. Making shooters would at least be much easier this way.

Only configs. You can remove fireball from magogs, set shooter flag to centaurs etc, but CR*.def, s*att.82m, shot*.def don't work.

Ok well could you then potentially start over? Like 197 being pikemen and go up to 392? Every other wogging option would then need +197, but then could it all work?

Why it can be necessary?

Maybe after remaking emerald.dll I try to upgrade amethyst. I don't think that registering of moved tables is necessary, but I need some other features of Era 2.0+

@Kegolo: No, it doesn't. As for creature defs I doubt it is really needed, but possible to do. However for projectiles it's possible to make a hook on the function that loads required defs thus making possible to change projectiles for units and have more projectiles (I have done similar thing in WoG sources and if it is really needed, I guess I could port that function to ERA as a plugin, though currently I don't have much time. Or if someone wants to do it him(her-)self, I can share my code here)

okay it is enough. sorry I believed per-creature configs for cre<=196 are inaccessible. so most functions could be implemented by config... Yeah!
EDIT: wait... no shot*.def? so it's not enough ;( ... nevermind I'll wait for new version or just use default projectile if it is supported in config. anyway I'll try what is possible with current version END OF EDIT
@Block Redirection
the registering of block redirection in ERA is intended for polling ERA with old adress to get new one if plugin redirect a block. So existing scripts editing memory with very tiny modification can work with plugins having those block relocated, even if new block from plugin has dynamic adress. Amethyst relocates (almost) all memory block corelated with creatures - old memory editing script won't work in ERA 2.1 with Amethyst - but with ERA 2.2 if Amethyst register block redirection - only slight modification would be required in scripts to work even with Amethyst. Block redirection were promised by Bersy for ERA 2.2. by "Block" I mean "contignous area of RAM".
@Diamond
(Facepalm) - for mine. It seems I again failed in communication. I just reserved this name for the feature as an ERA plugin, NO matter WHO would achieve this. I probably may be one of authors - nowhere I said I would be only one. Moreover I precise it can go with me or even without me. The "Diamond" name is intended as a lure/bait for potential contributors as most of the work can be easily ported from WoG sources (although feature would be greatly incomplete - so there would be still much to do).
EDIT: about towns I only intended to take part in preparing a plugin to add more buildings to existing towns - which would be definately easier than Diamond (more town types - so more of each thing unique for a towntype nation).

Sorry if I am asking a question which has no relation with the main theme, but...
About creature textures (how creatures look like), is it possible to export their frames from Rome: Total War? (It is possible to export from World of Warcraft, some creatures are made that way in Salamandres' map "300")

Yes for both, but you need 3DS Max.
