Modding Beginner Question

[jahendy]

I am fairly new to modding,could someone explain what language these scripts are written in? This way I can get a better understanding of what I am actually doing. Thanks a lot.

Hello Jahendy, welcome to the .Org ~:wave: .

I am not sure what scripts you are talking about, but in the Scriptorium (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?77-Scriptorium) you can find guides describing the majority of R:TW file formats, and how to use them

I went looking through many forums searching for an answer but perhaps I need to rephrase my question. I understand games are hardcoded in a language such C++ or Assembly, but the scripts for RTW, are they written in Python or Perl or some other language? Or Did Creative Assembly write them in their own language? I hope that clears up my question. Thanks for the reply.

Not sure, but I think it's a custom language created for R:TW. It's pretty limited compared to a real scripting language.

Yep, indeed it's a custom CA scripting language. Good news: A documentation actually exists: http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/Rtw_Uploads/RTWupload/BI_docs.zip
