Trouble with/question concerning EB script.

[Kleitos]

hello - well this jump forward in history happened yesterday in my first campaign in 1.2 version as well ...it was also AD ..shortly after AD quite possible that it was 14 AD.

..but i just loaded the last quicksave before that happened - and afterwards it was alright.

but i played not long - not so much time these days..

i guess i did not understand this procedure with the "advisor" and the "show me how" button fully.. do we have to click this button (and before the advisor) everytime - at every begin of season and end of it - and every loading and quitting?

(thought only the first time at the beginning) ..i mean if a campaign will be ruined with that - its almost certain that you forget that from time to time, or not?

also - what will happen when i use the "reset" the advisor button (i guess in the game options when clicking Esc and "game options") ..didnt want to try it for the case that a campaign will be ruined.


p.s. ..and yea - i subscribe fully to Arams comment on EB - just awesome :-) ..well ..chess excluded ..but from pc games in any case

You have to click the "show-me-how" button on the advisor every time you load a game. If you load it the first time you have to. If you re-load a save you have to.

Be aware that if you want to play with an other faction, you have to quit EB and start it new from.

If you miss to activate the script once or twice, this should not be the trick, but if you forget it many times your campaign is useless IMHO.

The "reset advisor" button has nothing to do with the script.

Oh, and please read the FAQ

hmm well i read now the point regarding the campaign script but dont understand that ..its quite a short explanation for something which appears very strange - every time clicking on that ..i mean - it wasnt necessary in ver. 0.81.

also when do i know that the clicking procedure was a success? ..every time when i load now a game and click on the advisor he just disappears without having the chance to click the "show me how" button. and when i only click the "show me how" button then its colour turns grey and thats it - so i dont know if this clicking was for any use??

cant help it but i find that not convenient ...of course i dont know anything from writing such a programm but its such a perfect game actually - is there no other way to load that except in this strange manner?

..but if there is no other way we have to live with it ;-) ..so before there was mentioned to click also after ending every season on it. ..in the faq´s is only mentioned at the beginning and at every loading of a saved game... so is it not necessary to think while playin - to click around on it at the begin and end of every season?

IMHO that is the easiest way to load all the scripts into EB.

The advisor will only disappear if you successful activate the script, that should be sign enough. Also the "Year in Time" popup at the beginning of every 4th turn is a good sign.
If you activate it right, the advisor will just appear once in a game....

well yes the year in time comes regularly and the incident with the time jump forward to AD 14 happened only once .. seems to be alright.

once in a game - do you mean only once at the beginning of a campaign? ...cause he shows up also now but when i click on him there comes no message anymore he just dissappears without having the chance to click the "show me how" button. and when i only click the "show me how" button then its colour turns grey.?

but i have to try it more - with more time on weekend i hope.

thanks,
