    Are you sure this is right? Because the ; tells the computer to ignore the line, it shouldnt be throwing up an error...

    Do you have 1.2 aswell?

    If not then I will have to upload some files for the fix...

    I'm sure that I deleted the ";" in front of all lines in the coloum. I'll delete them again then I'll see what will happen.

    You can't edit your posts because you are a junior member, if you entered the script right, when you run it and complete the last player's turn, it should switch back to the first player.

    I play with the Julii and the Germans. I can switch from Julii to Germans by loading the quicksave. How can I go back to the Julii? What do you mean with "run the script"? I don't understand what to do.

    Ok, running the script means that you press F1 and click the ? button at the top. Then an interface thing pops up and you click the Show Me How button.

    Then you press End Turn, and it switches from the Julii to Germans (using the script you posted before). Repeat the process to switch from Germans to Julii again.

    Myrddraal , well after along time i have decided to once again try to play on the hot seat for Rome.

    so i installed the game and this time without BI , just with patch 1.5.
    after testing again still i see i cant play with two roman factions.
    with gauls and german for example campaign works.

    do you figured it out yet ?
    though i like medieval 2 and there is already hot seat with it, its not the same
    as old Rome :D

    and unless there will be a mod that will bring up Rome but in the medieval 2 engine i see no other option of playing this.

    Thumbs up Re: Play By Email Multiplayer/Hot Seat Campaign - Release

    Hi all,

    I felt I had to post to say well done to Myrddraal on this mod, it gave myself and my friend a lot of fun last year. We used it to play hotseat and PBeM. Sadly we got to around 267BC and one of my friend's family members kept turning invisible or being in two places at once, then we started gettting CTD's. Was awesome fun while it lasted though.

    Incidentally, we were playing as Scipii and Brutii and it worked fine up to that point so I don't understand why so many people are having problems with Roman factions...the only thing I can suggest is that maybe they are using the faction name order from the top of descr_strat instead of the actual turn order further down the file. So to (hopefully) clear up any future instances of this, here's the faction list in turn order:

    romans_julii
    romans_brutii
    romans_scipii
    romans_senate
    macedon
    egypt
    seleucid
    carthage
    parthia
    pontus
    gauls
    germans
    britons
    armenia
    dacia
    greek_cities
    numidia
    scythia
    spain
    thrace
    slave

    So if you were playing with two friends and you wanted to use the Brutii, Gauls and Thrace you would enter them in that order in the script generator. Although from what has been mentioned before it sounds like you can edit the turn order by moving the factions round in the list. Sounds like a lot of hassle to me

    Hopefully I've got the list right (and spelt it all correctly) and if it helps one person out, I'll be happy

    Once again, awesome work Myrddraal, a great contributor to the RTW community I would say

    well friend , i suffer from a problem you think that you can solve it although
    Myrddraal didn't well in this case here is my problem :

    I put the generator at C:\ and generated a script with for 2 players with
    romans_julii
    romans_brutii

    the script is generated and i put it at D:\Rome Total-War which is my installation
    path and i put the script at DATA\scripts\show_me folder.

    now in the export_descr_advice.txt instead of the show_me in shortcut
    i used the options menu which is easier for me.

    after running the game , i enter a VH/VH long game with the julii and with the following options checked : manage cities and with follow AI.

    after playing the Julii turn , I press Esc press the "?" and then "show me how".
    press the end turn key , press V on the massage , game saved and then use
    Ctrl+L to play the brutii's turn , after doing so i press again Esc then "?" then
    "show me how" and finally getting the save massage but when i reload the game
    the game CTD.

    hope you can help me , sorry for doubting you but if Myrddraal couldn't figure
    it out then i guess you can't as well , but have a try.

    Smile Re: Play By Email Multiplayer/Hot Seat Campaign - Release

    Would it be possable to change the script to allow a any faction that is in the "script" to be able to command all of its battles?

    E.g. The Scipii are attacked by Egypt, the will only be able to command battles if the game thinks it is still the scipii's turn...

    Same thing happened to my and my brothers campaign, Carthage and Greece, after some 100 turns or more the armies of Greece turned invisible and the ones of Carthage were teleported into the heart of Greece :D, this was kinda cool actually because i attacked immediatly hehe, still the game frozed when passing the turn, so i became conviced that the script didnt work for very long, and could only be used for a quick campaign.

    However i found out that theres some clan that plays this alot and has completed sucefully a several players PBEM in multiplayer campaign for RTW v1.5.

    The links are:

    http://wiki.miydai.com/index.php?tit...layer_Campaign

    http://www.miydai.com/index.php?action=forum

    I already used that information to start a mult-campaign with MTWII v1.0, unfortanely theres also a draw-back in this one, you only control your amy when you attack, if attacked you can play it, but the computer will be in control, of course there might be a solution for this that im not seeing it.

    I'm not sure there is a way to stop it from happening all the time, but at the start of every turn you could go to the Game Options Menu and check the "Manage All Settlements" box...

    Question Re: Play By Email Multiplayer/Hot Seat Campaign - Release

    Hello,

    I want to play RTW 1.5 with my friends with hotseat mod.
    I have read all of the posts which are about this mod.
    But I did not succeed.

    Firstly, I run the script generator and I write;
    3
    then;
    romans_julii
    romans_brutii
    romans_scipii

    and I exit the generator with pressing "ctrl+c".
    The file created in C:\HotSeatScript.

    I placed this file in the C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\scripts\show_me folder.

    After that, I opened the file C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\export_descr_advice.

    Code:
    ;------------------------------------------
    ;AdviceThread Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Thread
    ;    GameArea Campaign
    ;
    ;    Item Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01
    ;        Uninhibitable
    ;        Verbosity  0 
    ;        Threshold  1 
    ;        Attitude Normal
    ;        Presentation Default
    ;        Title Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01_Title
    ;        Text Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01_Text1
    I changed this into;

    Code:
    ;------------------------------------------
    AdviceThread Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Thread
        GameArea Campaign
    
        Item Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01
            Uninhibitable
            Verbosity  0 
            Threshold  1 
            Attitude Normal
            Presentation Default
            Title Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01_Title
            Script scripts\show_me\HotSeatScript.txt
            Text Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01_Text1
    then I enter the RTW 1.5 and began the imperial campaign with Julii. I press the F1, then I press the "?" button on the right top of the scroll. But, the advisor did not appear. How can I solve this problem. Help please.

    Yes I am, but I can't see what you've done wrong. The only thing that strikes me as odd is that the entry you are replacing is commented out, this shouldn't be the case. Did you add those comments?

    Are you using this in combination with any other mod?

    You say that the advisor does not appear. When I see that the entry you have replaced is commented, I can only think that the trigger might also be commented. Find the trigger associated with that advice, (in the lower half of export_descr_advice.txt) and uncomment it (remove all the ; except the ;----).

    Hope that helps.

    Smile Re: Play By Email Multiplayer/Hot Seat Campaign - Release

    Thank you very much Myrddraal. I have succed. The problem was the ";" (semicolons) in front of the concerned trigger. I deleted these semicolons and it worked.

    Yes it's possible if you're confident enough at modding. If you just have two different scripts for two different show me how's you can run either script and therefore have two running campaigns.
