Igrik, could you help me with catching bugs in my mod?
I have one, but a big one (crashes during AI turn) from null pointer on structure
I saw your mod. You have so many things there that are confusing that I’m even afraid to take it to help. Sorry
I will fix myself all problems with features, only please help me debugging crashes, could you do any help, please ?

I found which plugin is guilty for the crashes: Its my Knightmare war machines
I am thankful to new ERA which found the cause (previous versions didn't)
EDIT:
I fixed the plugin but there are more problems

hi, majaczek,
I need your help with amethyst.
I am using the one modified on 2016/06/18 8:02.
BaiduDrive
Extraction Code: 2rt9
Or OneDrive
It is highly suspiciously conflicting with functions that manipulate the memory.
I need you to verify this and hopefully a solution with guide.
!?FU16009;
**x1=creature id(22-196)
**x2:
** 0 = bind
** 1 = blind
** 2 = disease
** 3 = curse
** 4 = age
** 5 = petrify
** 6 = paralyze
** 7 = poison
** 8 = acid
** 9 = none
!!FU|x1<22/x1>196:E;
!!VRy1:Sx1 +7994570;
!!UN:Cy1/1/x2;
!?FU16010;
**x1=creature id(63-196)
**x2=0=drain hp(vampire)
** =1=thunder
** =2=death stare
** =3=dispell
** =4=acid
** =5=none
!!FU|x1<63/x1>196:E;
!!VRy1:Sx1 +7994385;
!!UN:Cy1/1/x2;

in amethyst such code doesn't work.
you need just to create cfg file for each creature
there you set those numbers
get a sneaky look at my mod, more precisely creatures folder

The 2 functions work well in era without amethyst.
But they do not work with amethyst for the standard creatures.
So, I need you to help explain what is preventing the function from working.
eg.
Does Amethyst declare a new patch of memory for new creatures?
Does Amethyst declare a new patch of memory for ALL creatures?
Does Amethyst change the data structure of creatures?
And I have looked at the cfg files. Creature skills can be declared there using amethyst2. However, I need to switch the creature skills on and off dynamically through ERM. So I need some other ways.
And there are other non-creature related functions as well. I need to know whether they would be affected by amethyst.
So, firstly, I need you to help me understand what amethyst is doing with the memory. Then I can judge between conflicting functionalities, which to keep, which to give up.

you may access new tables in amethyst from plugin (it's partially how my Knightmare war machines work), just the tables are relocated because game wants it in single table which is bigger than place in h3era.exe. each important stat is moved to new table. I added possibility to call Amethyst2 from other plugins and even reverted old changes so you can change via this interface parameters which originally were out of cfg files

yes, yes, depends
Amethyst does dirty hack to support 1024 Creatures in creature experience instead of hardcoded 256 limit. there are also new tables for hooks.

Does that mean I can do something like this to change creature skills?
!!SN:L^PluginsAmethyst.dll^/?y1 Ay1/^FunctionName^/?y2 Ey2/Creature/Skill;
In addition, does Amethyst affect battle memory? I guess no.
Edit:
In the standard era, I can modify the following bytes to disable and enable death cloud for liches(64/65/196).
!!UN&y27=64:C7764897/1/64;
!!UN&y27=65:C7764902/1/65;
!!UN&y27=196:C7764906/4/196;
However, it is not working with amethyst. I am wondering those 3 locations should be static functions. Amethyst should not be touching on them. So I think those functions must have checked the original creature table which is not used in amethyst, then the functions fail to switch AOE off subsequently. Is my thought correct?
And can you tell me what is the creature table address with and without amethyst? Something like 7700000-7900000?

it touches it of course. to make be able to add new creatures with death cloud or fireball.
I didn't checked if calling the library/plugin from ERM works, but it works from other library/plugin. Just do not reload the plugin but access it from loaded plugins. If I remember properly it gets creature number and text line (same as from cfg file).
I suggest you to do own plugin which calls amethyst2 plugin like I did for war machines. It would be better than trying to do everything from ERM.
creature tables with amethyst are placed in plugin memory, so it depends what plugins and how much of them are loaded. and there are several tables.
EDIT: ask bersy if he could help you :| I think SN:L code won't work of the box because it says Load in erm help and the plugin have to be loaded only once or "bad things happen" so you need to get it adress without reloading it. there are 2 possiblities - find some kernel32.dll function for it (and use returned adress for execute function) or ask Bersy to add new SN command.

Bersy said:
calling kernel32.dll LoadLibrary does not reload already loaded libraries. SN:L is safe.
Thanks a lot. I am confused here.
1. Is Bersy saying only kernel32 will not be double loaded? Or every plugin can be safely loaded?
The following 2 functions runs at every BA0/1 to set and unset hooks. They are currently working. But from the angle of reloading plugins, are they unsafe?
Func1
!!SN:L^EraPluginserm_hooker.era^/?y1 Ay1/^SetHook^/?y2;
!!SN:Ey2/1/4479447/111106; hook at 0x004459D7 => FU111106
Func2
!!SN:L^EraPluginserm_hooker.era^/?y1 Ay1/^UnsetHook^/?y2;
!!SN:Ey2/1/4479447;
2. And how can "find some kernel32.dll function for it" help set creature skills under amethyst? How would kernel32 locate addresses of things in amethyst?

Haha, I managed to find the addresses of skill tables under amethyst.
They are available in the amethyst source code.
*(int*)0x440916=4458774 storing address of skill table 1 (Drain HP so on)
*(int*)0x440237=4457015 storing address of skill table 2 (Bind so on)
My problem is solved. Thank you.

Sorry it seems SN:L is safe. I am happy you found desired result.
PS: you can do that and much more using SN:L and the only exported non-main function in amethyst. it takes two arguments: creature number and a string formatted like amethyst cfg file.
PPS: could anyone wise say how to speak "call this function" to erm using the function I mentioned?
PPPS: I was under impression that SN:L uses non safe loading of library (kernel32::OpenLibrary or something) but it seems to be safe one (kernel32::GetModuleHandle) so was the reason of my unwise claims. Sorry for that. All plugins in my plugins repo should work ok :) anyway I will check if some of them wouldn't be affected by upgrades of ERA.
Thank You for audience :)
By the way: I may return to fixing KK mod, I need to fix some things there anyway.

About Knightmare Kingdoms 3
Does this humongous mod. still need Era 2.5.8+ to be installed?
Or, is it such a humongous mod. just like W.o.G. used to be, some 16 years ago?

It requires ERA but latest version of KK isn't compatible with latest version of ERA. Please wait with me for ERA 2.9.x and let me making this compatible then.

Nope. 2.9.2 is a bit buggy at erm processing (checked at secondary skills scroling mod). I need to wait for some really stable version.
EDIT:
2.9.3 is version on which I can start working on but... there are changes in erm SN commands which are not yet documented. I wish to get documentation on them before fixing my mod to work with newest ERA.
EDIT: Remade my saving script. Struggling with !!RD commands

Welcome.
I have problem with this mod. When is already loaded is crashed with that message: Game crashed! All Debug information is inside Debug/Era subfolder.
I checked it and in event list, and they are last messegers from "Event list" file:
OnUnequipArt:
Elemlord.1140
Emerald3_2.3A50
And Emerald3_2.3A50 is the last one. I've look for some information by few days and I have enough.
Thanks for help.
I have original version from DVD and I've tried to run this mod on GOG version.
