- 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 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). Note if you are using a mod you have to change the start date to the appropriate date for the mod

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

AdviceThread
Help_Campaign_Keyboard_Shortcuts_Scroll_Thread

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

;------------------------------------------
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:

four_turns_Title
four_turns_Text1

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

;-------------------
 
{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:

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.

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.
