how to make faction resurrectable, enabling loyalty, hording, etc

FIRST: YOU NEED EB FOR BI
SECOND: BACK UP YOUR FILES
THIRD: NO SAVEGAME COMPATIBILITY

ok let's start

1) copy from bi/data to eb/data these files: descr_sm_factions.txt, descr_event_enums.txt, descr_event_images.txt, descr_sounds_events.txt, message_text_lookup.txt
2) copy from bi/data/text to eb/data/text these files: event_strings.txt, event_titles.txt, tooltips.txt
3) in descr_sm_factions.txt, add the shadowed_by/shadowing as you like after factions names. this will make a faction being rebelliuos to another. i'll put a sample WORKING file along with the
4) stratpage_02.tga. in this files, located in each culture under eb/data/ui/xxx/interface, you have to add the loyalty ring symbol with a tga editor like paint.net. i did it for you for all the factions. you can download all of them by going on http://rapidshare.com/files/271728067/files.rar.html and overwrite the existent files by copy and pasting each
5) add the re_emergent under each faction name in eb/data/world/maps/campaing/barbarian_invasion/descr_strat.txt. i did it for you: you'll find a WORKING file in the same rar above

HORDING: if you don't do these steps it crashes on settlement revolt - faction disappeared. but if you succeded in making factions resurrect as i did, i'm quite sure it works. if needed, i can write out a guide also for that
LOYALTY: you'll find a new line under characters resume (loyalty), between management and influence. it's hardcoded and you need it, otherwise on settlement revolt you experience a crash. if somewone would like to implement loyalty, export_descr_character_traits.txt is only waiting for him to add loyalty traits (remember then to add LoyaltyStarter traits for characters in descr_strat)

NOTE1: i'm sorry i can't post a single full drag-and-drop file because i've italian version running, and i think you all won't be too much happy to find pop-ups in that only to make eb factions resurrectable...
NOTE2: re_emerging behavious strictly depends on descr_sm_factions: if you want change faction rebellions, just modify it accordingly
NOTE3: if you want to be sure a settlement rebels, repeatedly add population for a couple of turns (eg: add_population Amaseia 4000) and enjoy! provoke_rebellion Amaseia, also as scripted, doesn't work

i hope i remembered to post everything
oh sorry i didn't! edit. i forgot to say that large part of this work can be done via installing eb for bi, if (ferromancer?) can find some time to implement it

So this won't work with ALX.exe?

didn't have a try. but i suppose not
