1.2 Docudemons

Thanks Caliban.

I actually went into the .exe with a hex editor and ripped out what I think is the console command section. It's ugly but I parsed and cleaned up some of it. Still working on cleaning it up now.

In the interest of time and expediency, could I post this and perhaps get some comments and feedback on it? The main thing I'm curious about is a number of these commands do not work at all, meaning the engine does not recognize them as valid and the '?cmd' option does not produce any results. Are some of these perhaps disabled in the build that's shipped to us? Is there some kind of command-line option for the medieval2.exe that enables these?

Thank you and regards.

Edit - OK, here's the list. I pulled some items that didn't appear to be valid, I still have the "raw" dump in an rtf in case anyone wants it.

Yep definatley post them if you wish. Alot of the commands are only available to us in debug mode, the retail.exe will only support a few.
I pretty much started with the same list you have there and then went through and checked which ones worked in retail mode.

This is the list I found worked with retail medieval2.exe (1.2 leak):

Keep in mind that almost all commands are available through the console_command script command (gosh I never thought I'd be able to use the word command three times in one sentence).

So uh what do those do?

**Lusted** · 04-17-2007, 20:53

There is only one way to find out you know, try them and see!

Some of them don't appear to do anything, like the "bestbuy" one, at least not that I can notice.

Caliban, from that list you posted, are all of those ones that we peons can expect to work compared to the larger list I found earlier?

Also, are there any plans in the future to enable the other commands or finding some way of enabling them for our use?

Thank you.

Those are the commands I got from our debug console. You may have discovered some I'm not aware of, might be an idea to test them.

I know what puppify_my_love does :) but not the others, sorry. I'm guessing they are left-over from RTW.

If you think there is something you guys might need in those commands, I could ask about it. I'm collecting a mod wishlist to be reviewed internally, so It might be a good idea to add it to the community wishlist thread.

I didn't go through them all, but comparing what I scrapped together vs. the list you gave us, the list you posted seems to be roughly the only ones that work for us in our retail exe builds.

As for the modding requests, I think it's a pretty safe bet we would all like to have full access to all available console commands through the shell. Some of those would be insanely useful. The two that have come to mind recently for me at least are 1. being able to create a disaster and 2. full and absolute control over the buildings/culture/religious aspects of a city. On the latter, an example would be being able to manually take an islamic huge sized city, knock the population back down to say 500, and set the wall level to be the northern european wooden palisade, and also set the province to be 100% christian.

Something that you might want to consider in the future is also simply give us the ability to do a docudemon/command shell dump listing through a command line parameter that we feed to the exe. It'd save you the trouble of having us breaking down your doors to get this info, and just be convenient if we don't have/deleted/don't have internet access to the files you posted online.

Thank you.
