A Beginner's Guide to Scripting & Scripting "How To"s

You know what? I made exactly the same mistake once when messing around with custom tiles. I think our computers must be on a setting where they conceal the extension so that you actually named it mo_money.txt.txt.

Yes Im going to fix that setting really fast.

One last off the wall question. Are there lists of all the cities (maybe a map) and units and buildings somewhere online so I can try writing scripts while Im here at work waiting for everyone else to get thier acts together so I can get something done?

A chap named rumcajsz does rather a good line in RTW maps, try searching for his name and see if you come up with one of his links. As for units & buildings etc. you can find quite a nice unit list here. Of course I'm very rarely able to be with a copy of RTW so I have all the data folder's text files on a data key.

Another random question from the modding newb.

I seem to have difficulties making ports. Well that is I can make a port and the port will show up in the view with all the other city buildings but the graphic of the port never shows up on the campain map. And when ever you go to make some boats (it does in fact give you the option to do so) the game crashes. I dont seem to have this problem with any of the other buildings I make. Just ports. I even use the same line from the other buildings just cut and pasted in and then take out the building name and put in port. ex:

console_command create_building Londinium port

I am aware there is show_err and I have put this in my shortcut but it never seems to show any errors.

Also as a side note, how do you upgrade a city and its population?

I think that there is no simple way to upgrate city.
But you can try to add population with console_command add_population, and spawn apropriate Gavernor building.

How to: Change the Date

Code:

script
console_command date -220
console_command season summer
end_script

This will change the date to summer 220BC.
Note that you'll get all the historical event messages for the events between the date you jumped from and the date you skipped to.

This command is primarily useful for people who want to skip to the Marian Reforms or change their date altogether. It is also the foundation for Myrddraal's Multiple Turns a Year mod.

Here is another quick question for Richard :

is there any way that script can be generated to speed up building process and recruiting for any settlements.So far I have managed to create units but current script only works for one character
