1.2 Docudemons

**Caliban** · 04-11-2007, 06:29

Hi Guys!

I have posted the docudemon files for 1.2 on mediashare if anyone is interested. Also posted on the TWC. http://www.mediafire.com/?8j2mzywfnzw
Heres a bit of a rip from my post there:

Good afternoon ppl!

With the leak of the recent 1.2 patch, we have decided to release the updated docudemon files for mod developers.
You can download them from mediashare here: http://www.mediafire.com/?8j2mzywfnzw

To clear a few things up, there are a few rumours about the recently available patch. It is indeed one of our builds, it was not stolen or hacked. It was sent to some file mirrors early in anticipation for the official patch release. Some sites released it early when reports from Sega came that there may be some issues. We are currently reviewing these issues and looking into claims of major bugs from the community and QA departments. There should be an official announcement about the patch in the coming days.
For those that couldn't wait and have installed the early 1.2 patch, please send any bug details to "bugs ' at' creative-assembly.com.au" along with any supporting files such as replay files, screenshots, save games etc. I'm also keeping track of the new 1.2 unofficial bug list thread.

Thanks again to everyone that has helped us track down these bugs and thanks to the moderators and admins for updating and maintaining the public bug lists.

Caliban

Thank you

**FactionHeir** · 04-11-2007, 12:08

Nice to hear something from you guys :)
Are you just looking at the TWC buglist or also the ORG one?

**alpaca** · 04-11-2007, 12:09

Thanks a lot Caliban, you are all too kind

**Whacker** · 04-11-2007, 12:42

Errmm.. Thanks, but any chance of us getting the complete documentation? I just checked and a number of commands are missing, like add_money and process_cq.

**alpaca** · 04-11-2007, 12:46

Console commands aren't in there. The same was true for 1.1
Would be useful to have them, but maybe the new demon doesn't generate info about it.

Wonderful news, thanks Caliban!

Alpaca, my apologies for the confusion, there are some valid console commands listed in the docudemon stuff, or at least they also work in the console.

It would be very nice to get a list of console commands as well. For example, if there is a means to trigger a disaster manually, etc etc etc.

Thank you.

**BozosLiveHere** · 04-14-2007, 22:32

Still no easy way to spread traits 'up' the family tree. Oh well.

**Caliban** · 04-16-2007, 02:35

Sorry about the lack of console commands guys, They arn't generated in our docudemons. I'm looking at a way to get these to yas soon.

**Whacker** · 04-17-2007, 03:15

Thanks Caliban.

I actually went into the .exe with a hex editor and ripped out what I think is the console command section. It's ugly but I parsed and cleaned up some of it. Still working on cleaning it up now.

In the interest of time and expediency, could I post this and perhaps get some comments and feedback on it? The main thing I'm curious about is a number of these commands do not work at all, meaning the engine does not recognize them as valid and the '?cmd' option does not produce any results. Are some of these perhaps disabled in the build that's shipped to us? Is there some kind of command-line option for the medieval2.exe that enables these?

Thank you and regards.

Edit - OK, here's the list. I pulled some items that didn't appear to be valid, I still have the "raw" dump in an rtf in case anyone wants it.

Yep definatley post them if you wish. Alot of the commands are only available to us in debug mode, the retail.exe will only support a few.
I pretty much started with the same list you have there and then went through and checked which ones worked in retail mode.

This is the list I found worked with retail medieval2.exe (1.2 leak):

**alpaca** · 04-17-2007, 09:52

Keep in mind that almost all commands are available through the console_command script command (gosh I never thought I'd be able to use the word command three times in one sentence).

So uh what do those do?

**Lusted** · 04-17-2007, 20:53

There is only one way to find out you know, try them and see!

**Whacker** · 04-17-2007, 21:21

Some of them don't appear to do anything, like the "bestbuy" one, at least not that I can notice.

Caliban, from that list you posted, are all of those ones that we peons can expect to work compared to the larger list I found earlier?

Also, are there any plans in the future to enable the other commands or finding some way of enabling them for our use?

Thank you.

**Caliban** · 04-18-2007, 01:11

Those are the commands I got from our debug console. You may have discovered some I'm not aware of, might be an idea to test them.

I know what puppify_my_love does :) but not the others, sorry. I'm guessing they are left-over from RTW.

If you think there is something you guys might need in those commands, I could ask about it. I'm collecting a mod wishlist to be reviewed internally, so It might be a good idea to add it to the community wishlist thread.

**Whacker** · 04-18-2007, 04:17

I didn't go through them all, but comparing what I scrapped together vs. the list you gave us, the list you posted seems to be roughly the only ones that work for us in our retail exe builds.

As for the modding requests, I think it's a pretty safe bet we would all like to have full access to all available console commands through the shell. Some of those would be insanely useful. The two that have come to mind recently for me at least are 1. being able to create a disaster and 2. full and absolute control over the buildings/culture/religious aspects of a city. On the latter, an example would be being able to manually take an islamic huge sized city, knock the population back down to say 500, and set the wall level to be the northern european wooden palisade, and also set the province to be 100% christian.

Something that you might want to consider in the future is also simply give us the ability to do a docudemon/command shell dump listing through a command line parameter that we feed to the exe. It'd save you the trouble of having us breaking down your doors to get this info, and just be convenient if we don't have/deleted/don't have internet access to the files you posted online.

Thank you.

Caliban,

toggle_perfect_spy would be invaluble for modders as would diplomacy_costs

**Re Berengario I** · 05-18-2007, 11:29

toggle_perfect_spy does work but only if launched inside a script.

**Jambo** · 05-18-2007, 12:21

Ok, that's good to know! I take it one could do that by simply putting toggle_perfect_spy at the start of the campaign_script?

Once in, can one toggle it off from within the game? I presume not since it has to be in the script to function in the first place.

You have to put in console_command toggle_perfect_spy
If you take the time and learn a bit of scripting, you can also find ways to switch it off again using shortcuts or buttons

Thanks alpaca. Just how easy or difficult will it be to develop a script to allow toggling of perfect spy on and off? Are we talking a couple of lines of code or hours worth of work here?

Since we're lacking a lot of tutorials, you'll have to dig through most stuff yourself.
I'd do it by adding an advice thread, hooking it up to a show_me script and trigger on the construction scroll help request or something like that.
The old RTW tutorials about scripting should tell you how to make a show-me, but you also have to edit descr_advice_timings.txt by adding an entry so the text will actually show.
All in all it's quite a non-trivial task for starting to mod
