Im still having problems with adding faction desciptions to my mod. I find it odd that I can't see any desciptions in early (not even the old factions), in high and late, only the old show. Is there anyone who has any info on adding faction desciptions to mods? ~:confused:
Well for M:TW it is in MTWDirectory/Loc/Eng/Startpos (or any other file I'm not sure). It is for me anyways. You can add in descriptions for the factions here. I'm not sure if thi works for VI though.
I have added them there (MTWDirectory/Loc/Eng/Startpos), but they still don't show. I have allso added them in the changes file. Still dosn't work ~:mecry:
Where exactly? I succeeded in putting some descriptions of factions and the period at the end of the file, where it is said "Text added after 7th Jan 2003 begins here:"Quote:

No idea.
First of all I think everything is written in caps.
Second, I am not sure about how to name the era. For example the title of my mod is "La Reconquista" but the era is RECONQUISTA (short title?).
I will try it again (I did it some time ago) and I will tell you the results.
Good luck.
Thanks, I will give it a try again this weekend. Maybe I have beter luck this time. ~:dizzy:Quote:

In my case there is an additional problem, because the factions keep the old name (e.g. FN_ALMOHAD). Then I think there is some misfunction. In case of viking the new factions are named FN_01... and that time when the descriptions appeared was when I tried with new factions declared as FN_R01...
What is the name of your new faction?
One of the new factions are the teutonic knights (FN_TEUTONIC). The old factions will need to keep the names, becouse the GA mode will stop working if they get a new name. The new ones can change without problems.Quote:

Let's see if I have understood (my English is not so good).Quote:

My problem is that my mod is also an addon. ~:(
I will try by renaming the factions.
~:wave:
Jepp, something like that. Early works like you say, High show if I takeaway the era (NOVGOROD_HIGH => NOVGOROD). Late desciption work, but Novgorod got the pope's desciption.Quote:
