Does anyone know why the game might stop applying buffs to troops through passive spells? Previously, this ability in my mod increased the initiative of the army and converted half of the defense into attack (skill of the Wild Ents). Now, it has stopped applying this buff to troops (the skill level is the same as before, providing the same effect). At the same time, a couple of other similar abilities that I created continue to apply buffs correctly and provide the intended effect. Accuracy applies Blood Fury level 1 and deals maximum damage to all troops. Guardian of Secrets applies Punishing Strike. Counterspell applies Dodge. Bear Stance applies a buff for 10% of the army's health. In general, other skills to which I added the effect of casting a spell continue to function normally, but this one doesn't. I suspect that I might have made a mistake somewhere in a line in the Skills file, because the skill used to work as it should, but now it has stopped (I noticed it by chance).

Did you touch or change anything in the settings? Or did you just suddenly notice that the skill wasn't working?

I changed it a long time ago so that it would apply a buff in battle when learned. Everything worked as it should, it gave a buff to the army and increased the hero's level by 1.

Yesterday, I noticed that it still increases the hero's level by 1 as usual, but it no longer applies the buff to the army.

I've tried everything I know. I don't understand why they (3 skills) aren't applying the buff. And yet, the skills themselves perform their functions. HERO_SKILL_BARBARIAN_INTELLIGENCE - increases mana but doesn't apply the buff (Blood Wrath level 2 is specified). HERO_SKILL_BARBARIAN_DARK_REVELATION - adds an additional level but doesn't apply the buff (Forest Fury is specified). HERO_SKILL_BARBARIAN_MENTORING - adds experience to an allied hero but doesn't apply the buff (Antimagic is specified). All other skills apply the buff as they should. Moreover, Barbarian Dark Revelation used to work correctly, applying the Forest Fury buff. Now it doesn't, regardless of what is specified. Perhaps someone who knows more can take a look, although I'm starting to lose hope that it can be fixed.

I would be very happy to help if I knew how

Basically, I still can't come to terms with the fact that I've lost the ability to add a buff effect to skills that don't have a spellbuff, which is a real bummer. =)

Extensive testing and checking of skills revealed the following:
The "Return to the Void" skill applies the buff to the army and it works (in my case, it's the "Bear Roar" buff, which adds 10% HP to the army as a bonus).


The next skill is "Barbarian Fire Rage."
If, for example, you add the "Rune of Dragon Form" buff to it, this buff will not be applied to the army.
And any other buff, if added, will also not be applied to the army.


The "Rune of Dragon Form" is applied to the army perfectly fine if you add it to a skill that is higher in the list of skills, but not lower.
At the same time, if you add it to the spellbuffs line for skills that are lower, nothing happens either. This is why "Wrath of the Elements" stopped working earlier because it is located lower.


I checked the lines following "Return to the Void," and there are no gaps or errors in them (no extra spaces or tabs).

Are there any ideas what this could be? Why do buffs apply to skills before "Return to the Void" but not after? At the same time, the skills themselves, such as "Barbarian Fire Rage" and those below, continue to work normally. If you take "Barbarian Fire Rage," it performs its direct function, hitting enemies with fire, and the other skills also perform their task (Barbarian Dark Revelation gives a level up, Barbarian Intelligence gives mana).

I also want to remind you that PREVIOUSLY, everything worked. I had the "Forest Fury" buff (for additional initiative and converting half of defense into attack) on "Barbarian Dark Revelation," and it worked normally.

In short, I'm completely puzzled.
I'll try simply moving the skills that are lower up higher, but I'm afraid of breaking the ones that are already working. XD

(UPD: I tested it, moved the skills above "Return to the Void," and it still doesn't work).

The screenshot obviously hints that buffs are not linked to _BARBARIAN skills, Watson!

Hmm...

Yeah, maybe =)
Perhaps it really is that way. Genius xD
I just don't remember what I was linking the Elementals' core perk to; it used to work (before). Apparently, it wasn't linked to them but to some other skill.

Ugh, developers, developers... the entire Orc faction is made haphazardly.
They should have made noble barbarism like in the third Heroes game (and they had magic up to level 3), rather than this half-animal hodgepodge that works crookedly.
