Scripting

Hi im new to this site.
Im curious about this discussion.

I have a cracked exe >.< too.
I just finished copying and pasting all the "text" that is in my cracked Rome exe. Its around 500 kb of text! its a bit jumbled up since i directly copy and pasted it from a hex editor....i used Frhed....

So far it looks like it contains all kinds of commands for battle scripts,campaignes, etc.

Anyways i can send it to somebody via email or something if ya want. Just pm me.

Yes, thanks.
I wonder if both things, cracked exe and console commands, are the same.
(sorry if this doubt seems dumm).
:bow:

The second to last post contains many scripting commands, not console commands.

Would it be possible to now get a list of the required changes to implement 4 turns a year, with any show me how limitations etc, or whatever. I have gathered that the saving problem can be solved, but is the problem with loading messing up the years/turns still around?

If we can save and load, even if show me how must be used to start the script each time we load, without other side effects, could a simple and complete tutorial be put together. I find this thread hard to follow.

Crassus

Well, paint me plaid and refer to me as a filthy cataphract camel!
The CA has bestowed upon us a list of conditions and commands and a so-called scripting_manual!!!
~:cheers: :charge: ~D :balloon2: etc.

First I want to tell that the short script below is created from the idea of Myrdraal ( what a name ! ) and The One ( sorry fix u later :D ) who test the Myrdraal's script and told that when set to winter then year will change .

I want to use if .. end_if rather than monitor_conditions but it don't run correctly , so I guess that the monitor_XXX is run asynchronous and give best result .
A small bug is when winter come then the year increase ? Please test .
4 SEASON SCRIPT .

Please check it and tell me the result .
Thanks MyDraal , I see scripting in RTW is very competing cause we don't know anything about construction of a script .

This may or may not stop the script from working, but you must remember that the FactionTurnEnd is not the same as the Year ending. There is a period in which the other factions have their turn. I would change FactionTurnEnd to FactionTurnStart. Then the season is changed at the beginning of the turn. As it should be.

The year ends on the transition from winter to summer.

May I ask who wrote this script? And where is the Scripting manual, me want...

The difficult in here that I don't know whether RTW support calculus operation in scripting . How about we ask the "Guy" of CA ?
If it support calculus at lease minus (- ) then the modify will be very easy . I even don't need any extra constants counter , just a temp counter use to check whether it's end year or not . That script can be modify as easy as follow :

Code:

---

    monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal TrueCondition
          declare_counter temp
          set_counter temp I_TurnNumber
          while temp > 3         
              set_counter temp temp - 3  ;; If it work , evrything is VERY EASY
          end_while
          ;; After end the while , temp will be in 1 - 3 range . Sure of it :D
          ;; So we check the condition
          if I_CompareCounter temp = 3
                      ;; winter , do st here
          end_if   
          if if I_CompareCounter temp < 3
                      ;; another seasons , do st here
          end_if   

    end_monitor

It very short and when run "advice thread " after FactionTurnStart , though the game it was be saved or not , timer always work :D
But please test whether it work or not .

And another question I want to know that the "advice thread " really run or not ?

I have found a thing that could be interest you :

AdviceThread Seasons_Thread 0

If we replace the number from 1 to 0 then advice thread will run every turn .
Please anyone know email of CA coder ?

I'm trying to write a script that gives missions to other factions beside the Romans. I have three questions:

(1) Did the problem with restarting a script after reload ever get solved?
(2) Where is the scripting manual that was mentioned above?
(3) Is there a command that triggers a message?

Hi DimeBagHo, and welcome to the forums. The problem of restarting a script was corrected using a roundabout way by relaunching it every time you load. Check out the several turns a year thread in the general forum for more details..

There is no scripting manual as such, just a list of commands with a few notes. Is this what you mean?

I don't think there is a command that triggers a general message, but there is a command which allocates senate missions... I think it might be a console command, I can't remember off the top of my head, but it does exist.

Thanks Myrddraal. I'm trying to set up missions for a Greek Cities mod. Unfortunately giving Senate missions to the Greeks causes a CTD (no big surprise there). I think I might be able to use the advice system to do it though.

Sorry, perhaps I missed that posting, but I was unable to locate a description of how to write and run a script. Okay, perhaps It's not here because you all know how to ;)

It seems to be a simple .txt-file and is located in data/scrips or in the campaign-folder? Can it be run in the command line itself? Or can I edit the strat-file like in the prologue, so it's executed after beginning? Because Thrace caused a ctd in my game (the problem seems to be solved) Simetrical suggested to create a script including this:

script
console_command kill_faction thrace
end_script

But how to run? I tried several things but I always get the message "err. command not recognized"
