export_descr_advice.txt and on-demand script

Hi, All,

I have a question regarding to make on-demand script with the export_descr_advice.txt file.

For EB1.2, export_descr_advice.txt has been modified and many advice threads that were in original vanillia version were removed. So if I want to add an on-demand script, e.g. increase population of Rome by clicking on the help button on the top-right corner of faction information screen,

1. do I need to add the advice threads in vanilla export_descr_advice.txt back to the EB export_descr_advice.txt?

2. do I also need to add the vanilla lines related to the advice threads I use in export_descr_advice.txt back to the export_advice.txt file in data/text/ folder?

Jarardo has done something similar to what I am asking at the following link:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=80763

In his modified export_descr_advice.txt file, the Help_UI_Panel_Diplomacy_Early_Advice_Thread he added was not in EB's v1.2 export_descr_advice.txt file. I am not sure if his way of creating on-demand script could answer to my questions posted above.

thanks.

:help:

actually, you can just add your needed line in generic script.txt, and then execute it using F1

thanks Cute_Wolf. So if I add a line like "add_money seleucid 1000" to the generic script when playing as Romani, when I hit the F1 key, I get extra 1000 denari. When I press F1 again, I get another 1000 denari. Am I getting your points right?

yeah, if that was just an example, it works just like that.

but I think if you just want to have some money, you could just directly wrote it on the console (press `) the script is best used to doing some console command that unable to be executed in standard console, such as "control (faction internal name)", or else...

You press F1 and then the "show_me_how" button.

Isn't it "F1, questionmark button, and then the 'show_me_how' button"?

("questionmark button" being the button in the top left corner of the window that appears when you press F1)

Yes, Paltmull is right :bow:
