Adding Princesses to the Viking Faction

[naut]

Maybe some of the older Modders can be of assistance. Such as Ras, BKB, DukeJohn, VikingHorde, WesW etc.

Ah, okay... Sooo, should I just PM them? Sorry if I sound a bit thick, I'm a new girl here...

[naut]

Its okay, I've done it.



I'll just run you through it if you like.

[Luthiena]

That would be wonderful, thank you!

Here is a step by step process:

Prerequisites:

Gnome Editor or Dragon Editor

1. Open VIKING_UNIT_PROD.txt, which is found in the main Medieval directory, using either Gnome Editor or Dragon Editor, scroll down to the line starting with Princess. Scroll across until you find a list like this "FN_01,FN_02,FN_03,FN_04,FN_05,FN_06,FN_08". Simply add FN_07 inside the the quotations marks (Note: Each entry must be separated by a comma).

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

2. Go to your Medieval directory, then to campmap\Portraits\Vikings\Catholic. There should be a directory called Princess, copy it.

3. Go to campmap\Portraits\Vikings\Vikings, paste the folder Princess in here.

And that's all there is to it.

Thanks sooo much! Now, if I wanted to add princesses to other princess-less factions, would I do the same thing?

[naut]

Which factions do you mean? The Muslim ones in the standard campaign?

[Luthiena]

Yes, Muslim. Sorry I didn't say that in my post.

Hello,

feel free to send me a PM next time. I always like to help.
I haven't checked this section for a few days/ weeks, so I completely missed this.
You still need to declare the names of the princesses as Rythmic said.
Iirc, it's in the heroes or names file. The easiest thing is to note down an actual existing name and do a text search for it in the txt. files. You should come up with 1 or 2 places where the name is defined.
This is an example from our Shogun mod as a starting point:

First you need to add the character in the heroes-file:

ADD_PRINCESS::
stw_Kazuko

Now you need to define the characters' name in the Names-file:

["stw_Kazuko"] {"Kazuko"}

R'as al Ghul,

Beat me too it.

[Luthiena]

Thanks, R'as!

Quick question, though:

I noticed that, in the names text file, some names on the right are indented, while some are not; like this:

["Ade"] {"Ade"}
["Adela"] {"Adela"}
["Adelhaid"] {"Adelhaid"}
["Adelaide"] {"Adelaide"}
["Agata"] {"Agata"}
["Agnes"] {"Agnes"}
["Aigiarn"] {"Aigiarn"}
["Alice"] {"Alice"}
["Amata"] {"Agnese"}

Is the way they are placed important, or no?

[Luthiena]

Ack, that didn't work- it doesn't show the indentation... >.<

[R'as al Ghul]

You can place a tabstop instead of a space between them but I don' think it matters.

You could have put ALL_FACTIONS to achieve the same result for the princess, as the Vikings are the only faction that can't "train" them. I'm pretty sure I've seen an occasional Viking Princess in the VI campaign anyway. And when you try to load the portrait there's nothing there, and an error pops up. Weird bug?
