I've uploaded a zip file called BI_docs.zip to the downloads section ... it contains new docudemon files, up to date as of the Barbarian Invasions release, for your scripting pleasure, and there is also a console command reference text file in there which the game can auto-generate (but which you may not have seen before).
great! ~:cheers:
here's the link (took me a while to find):

EDIT: show_battle_street_plan < that's gonna be very usefull for my research on pathfinding ~D
Yeeees!!!!
Thanks very much Jerome!!
*closing all the windows, starts exploring the files*
Gah! Now I'm going to _have_ to buy BI!
Stickied. :grin:

Any chance of the available_ui_element_ids.txt file that's referred to in docudemon_commands.txt?
They're not huge text files, so I will quote them in full:

Jerome are those 'nulls', or duplicates, normal? i.e:
"
settlement_info_construction_tab
settlement_info_construction_tab
settlement_info_construction_tab
settlement_info_construction_tab"
or
"
trade_summary_scroll
trade_summary_scroll"
It's a code-generated text file, which is listing UI elements with duplicate and non-existent names. References to elements which are duplicated will probably end up triggering on the first ui element found.
Jerome, I'm going to distribute this awesome reference onto TWCenter, so that those who don't visit the ORG know it exists (I will include the two "id" text files within the zip as well). Now my question is: is this an official or an unofficial package? Sorry for making you call the CA lawyers... I want to give you guys as much credit as possible, and therefore have words like "official", combined with exclamation marks and such, in the title of my announcement. However, I also don't want to get you guys into any doo-doo accidentally, so I'm just being 101% careful with exactly how you want us to do this.
Feel free to call it official, as long as it's made clear that this is an information release only, for the convenience of the modding community, and is entirely unsupported. All changes that people make to their installations of the game are - as always - at their own risk...
You could always just direct them back over here, the Org is always welcoming to errant Total War ethusiasts who come back in from the cold :grin:Quote:

ER, you're right, hmm. The ORG should get the credit for this. However I'd also like multiple places to host the files, for redundancy's sake. How about this, I'll make the announcement and point everyone here, and in a few days or a week I'll put it up for download there as well, once everyone knows about this already.
Let's split the work. ~:)
I'm going to SCC and Total Rome. You go to TWC and RTR.
Ok?! ~:)
dysrow I was just yanking your chain :grin: This is important stuff for all RTW modders so please do distribute it wherever. It would be nice though if you could add a link back to this thread in whatever threads on other forums you post it.
Thanks :thumbsup:
Done ER. ~:)
SCC and Total Rome. ~:)
Jerome,
I have a few questions. Checking the docudemon files, I saw:
Unit_order_move
unit_order_move_relative
They have the same description.
What's the difference between these 2?! ~:confused:
Anyways, it's good. Solved another problem with unit_order_move. ~:)
Thank you very much Jerome!
unit_order_move takes an absolut coordinate as a parameter, while the relative version will take in a coordinate relative to the unit, e.g. unit_order_move 2,3 causes unit move to point 2,3, while unit_order_move_relative 2,3 orders the unit 2 metres to the direction of the x-axel and 3 to the y. Or then the unit_move_order_relative needs a distance and an angle relative to the unit.. I don't remember anymore..Quote:
Unit_order_move
unit_order_move_relative
They have the same description.
What's the difference between these 2?!
Thanks Mark. ~:)
Ave, Jerome! Thanks for the files! :bow:
Where should we ship the case of lager? ~;)

Ave everyone. I was wondering where i could find a command like this?
"I_settlement_besiege" ???:help:
There doesn't seem to be anything quite that useful in the RTW conditions...
for the sort of contortions you get into to make garrison script see some recent discussion here:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=95146
You, can get to, is a faction being besieged, which faction is besieging, who owns settlement, and by using check on locations if faction's army is standing next to city, but unfortunately as far as I can tell you can't directly use is settlement 'x' under siege as a condition.
Ok.... One last thing. uhmm where can i find this command? id try looking through conditions txt both RTW & BI:help: and thanks very much for the information
Makayane...
EDIT: sorry. I mean Ive tried looking through RTW & BI conditions txt and still no sign of it...??
What I was trying to explain (not very well obviously) is that the command you quoted is not available in RTW. So if you want to figure out if a particular settlement is under siege you have to make up a complicated monitor using the conditions that are available like:
I_FactionBesieging
I_FactionBesieged
I_SettlementOwner
& I_CharacterTypeNearTile
its very long winded but you can check if a character from a faction which is not the same one that owns the settlement is standing within 2 tiles of it (which it has to, to have it under siege) cross check if the owning faction is under siege and the faction standing outside it is besieging something. And that is about as close as you can get to the condition you are looking for.
RedSpot's method that is in the thread I linked to in last post is a bit simpler and triggers if another factions army is standing outside a particular city when you open the siege scroll.
OK.. thanks very much makayane:2thumbsup:
Sorry for da bump but making a new thread would be kind of useless, anyways
A lot of the console commands don't work and they seem so interesting i tried with all patches and still a lot don't work, is there any reason?
Many of the commands only work in scripts, not directly from the console. Force Diplomacy for example.
Yes, what's worse, some commands that used to work in v1.2/v1.3 got broken in v1.5/1.6. :( The best known example of this is the test_message command.
Would be nice if that was slightly better known - having recently spent some time wondering why everyone in old thread seemed to have got it (or at least some examples of it) working and I couldn't :wall: hopefully at least this thread will pop up when you search for it now....Quote:

I seem to have trouble with that as well :embarassed:
Hehe. Why do we so often cross paths in our research? Yeah, I was looking into this too. We should always remember the 3 laws of scripting
1. Scripting will never quite do what you want it to do
2. CA have the right to - without notice - break once-working code in patches
and, of course,
3. Scripting is evil.
And, lest we forget, the coder's motto: "Good coders don't need scripts, they've learnt their lines already!"
