Thinkin about making a mod

[Snowhobbit]

Hi,
i am currently thinkin about creating a mod, where you could play as the swedish.
However i dont know how to mod the game.
Please help me.

check The Dungeon.

Quick fix:
Just go to campmap\startpos\late.txt
Half way threw the file you'll se
SetActiveFaction:: FN_SWISS FN_MINOR
Change the FN_MINOR to FN_MAJOR.
and your done.
Hot tip => since late only gives you like 100 years of game play enter this code
SetGameEndDate:: 2003
In the first lines of the file, right after
SetStartDate:: 1321

this will allow you to play the game till 2003.

Er ... no ... not quite.

Sweden and Switzerland are two slightly different countries.

Ok, I know it must be confusing for some Americans, as they do both start with the same 2 letters.

After all, I'm sure some Europeans have the same problem with Maryland and Massachusetts. As for Missouri and Mississippi ... jeez, we have no chance

Anyways, you have to replace an existing faction. There is no way to create a new one(hardcoded). Aragon is usually the faction used for this : it is very small, and has no hardcoding limitations.

Look in the dungeon how to modify campaign(I guess it's Giskard's who explains that), and place every Aragonese thing in Sweden... They'll have Spanish names, though

Their is a little more involved in making a mod,(then just changing one word) that does not mean you should not try, The Dungeon is the place to go read al you can theres many people that can help, Lord Krazy, Wellington,King David to name a few but do not make haste to change files until you get some good information. PS. it makes more sense to Mod the Early .txt file then you do not have to worry about changing dates...

My mistake. It was like 4 in the morning.

no problem. Pick a faction that is minor, and will not appear later on. The only one that i would recomand is Sicily in late. Change it to major like before.
Actually in late siciliy is not even there so you have to add the fallowing line in apropriate places

SetActiveFaction:: FN_SICILIAN FT_MAJOR
SetTreasury:: FN_SICILIAN 10000 8000 6000 4000
SetCulture:: FN_SICILIAN CATHOLIC_CULTURE
SetReligion:: FN_SICILIAN REL_CATHOLIC
SetBehaviour:: FN_SICILIAN CATHOLIC_NAVAL_EXPANSIONIST
Ok this doesn't really mater. Cause you will be playing as them, and this is just for the AI.

SetShieldImage:: FN_SICILIAN "Sicily_lge" "Sicily_sml"
(i'm going to go into more detail about the flags in just a second)

SetRegionOwner:: ID_SWEDEN FN_SICILIAN
(add more provinces if you need to, just make sure that the lines like :

SetAttributes:: ID_SWEDEN "Sweden" 0 CATHOLIC_CULTURE TEMPERATE AT_WESTERN_EUROPEAN -1 365 "Sweden Castle_xzy" HILLY HILLY NO_RIVER

say "CATHOLIC_CULTURE" if you want to be cathlic. if you don't the game will crash.

I've been trying to keep this in order that it appears in the file. AddOffices => this is up to you if you want to just copy some other factions text and change FN_OTHER to FN_SCILIAN

SetStartLeader:: FN_SICILIAN 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
(I don't think anyone has figure out the numers)

PlaceLeader:: ID_SWEDEN FN_SICILIAN

AddHeir:: FN_SICILIAN 0 9
AddHeir:: FN_SICILIAN 1 10
AddHeir:: FN_SICILIAN 1 8

(this will give you initial kids., I haven't moded this in a while but i'm pretty sure that 0 = female, 1 = male, and the number after is the age, when the game starts)

MakeBuilding:: ID_SWEDEN what ever you want

MakeUnit:: ID_SWEDEN what ever you want 60
the 60 means how many are in the unit


i have to go to work. i'll post the how to on flags and units around 4-5 in the morning, that like 8 hours from now
