    Well actually, ER I lost those instructions when I uploaded the new script gen. I'm looking for someone who downloaded it before then to send them to me. If someone has them, please post them here...

    Unfortunately at this early stage, battles between the two players must be Auto Resolved but remember:

    This is only a Beta/Alpha Release
    Its work in progress. Eventually, all will be possible...

    There is no download yet. Its a "do it yourself mod". These are the instructions from the several turns a year script:

    The following is a method for increasing the number of
    turns in one year.

    CONTENTS
    - HOW TO INSTALL
    - HOW TO USE
    - NOTES


    --------------------------HOW TO INSTALL--------------------------

    1.
    First, download the script generator and use it to generate a script called descr_script in the show me folder. This is where you set the start and end dates and the number of turns you want per year [b]NOTE: There will only be one turn for winter or else aging is affected, so if you mod is in cold climates, I would recommend you have about 4 turns a year max (one 'season' for winter).

    2.
    Open the file export_descr_advice.txt in the Data
    folder.
    Search for

    Code:
    AdviceThread
    Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Thread
    Select the entire section (from ;--------- to Text)
    and replace it with:

    Code:
    ;------------------------------------------
    AdviceThread
    Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Thread
    	GameArea Campaign
     
    	Item
    Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Text_01
    		Uninhibitable
    		Verbosity 0 
    		Threshold 1 
    		Attitude Normal
    		Presentation Default
    		Title four_turns_Title
    		Script scripts\show_me\descr_script.txt
    		Text four_turns_Text1

    3.
    Open export_descr_advice_enums.txt in the Data folder.
    Add to the bottom of this file the following text:

    Code:
    four_turns_Title
    four_turns_Text1
    4.
    Open export_advice.txt in Data\text
    Add to the bottom of this file the following text:

    Code:
    ;-------------------
     
    {four_turns_Title} Four turns a year
     
    {four_turns_Text1}
    
    To finish loading the four turns a year script, click
    on the 'Show me how' button. Remember, you must do this every time you load a saved game.
    5.
    Now go to Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
    (or whichever campaign you want to apply the script
    to)
    Create a new text file called descr_script.txt
    containing the following text:

    Code:
    script
    advance_advice_thread
    Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Thread
    select_ui_element advisor_show_me_button
    simulate_mouse_click lclick_down
    simulate_mouse_click lclick_up
    end_script
    7.
    Now open descr_strat.txt in the same folder and add
    the following lines to the bottom of the file

    script
    descr_script.txt


    Installation complete.

    --------------------------HOW TO USE--------------------------

    When starting a new campaign, the script should
    automatically run after about one second. You must
    relaunch the script each time you load the game. To
    run the script, when starting a new campaign, or when
    loading a saved game, press F1.
    A panel will appear with a list of shortcuts. In the
    top right hand corner, click on the question mark.
    The advisor will appear and ask you to click on the
    'show me how' button. Once this is done, play as
    usual.
    Remember that this must be done not only at the start
    of the campaign, but also each time you load the saved
    game.

    --------------------------Notes--------------------------

    Many thanks go to those at the www.totalwar.org forums
    who helped me develop the ideas used in this script.
    If you wish to officially use this script in a mod,
    you are very welcome to, but please inform me as I
    like to know how my work is put to use.

    Myrddraal
    Instead of using the script generator, use the script in my first post. Good luck.

    Thanks Myrddraal,

    if I understand that right, I only need to do point 5. and 7. (there is no 6.) and use the hot-seat script instad of the one listed under 5.

    I'll give it a try and see how this works.

    Ok sorry about that.

    Instead of part 1, you should take the script and save it as a text file under data\scripts\show_me called descr_strat.txt

    The rest is all necessary, though you can replace four_turns by hot_seat if you like, and you can change the short description of it. Otherwise each part is ready.

    I agree Zalmoxis, the full realease will be clearer than this, this is just a taster for those who know a bit about scripting really.
