Quick guide to Adding Loyalty in RTW v1.5

Double post.

I realize this thread is somewhat old, but what the heck.

So, i've implemented all the changes to the files listed in post #1. I have the feeling that i did right, basically. Now i have run into a funny problem. After adding shadow factions to the romans, i have taken the total number of factions listed in the file 'desc_sm_factions.txt' to 25. After 21 the engine seems to stop reading the stuff. #22 is now Scythia and during runtime the debugger patiently explains to me that the first unit listed in 'export_descr_unit.txt' that is owned by Scythia has an 'invalid ownership'. :P

Now i have read about the hardcoded limits of the vanilla game. I was simply wondering if that is so, why do the instructions in post #1 not mention this? Or is this a solution that would work under a differently patched version of the game (not BI). I am currently playing and modding RTW-gold, which i assume is using patch 1.5.

Any help or helpful comment on this would be very much appreciated.

Sûl.

The instruction don't mention it, because it's listed in the hardcoded limits that you can't have more than 21 factions. In order to add loyalty you have to remove one of the existing factions and make it into your rebel faction.

Allrighty.

Now comes the hard part of deciding which factions to remove. Man. Why is the hardcoded wall always the first thing i hit no matter which game i modify?

Thanks for helping me out in my first mod on RTW.
