Thanks, guys

But I've only found out today that I could answer in this forum.
I see you haven't got any questions since 5NOV, so I guess you should announce it better on the Entrance Hall...

My question follows:

Quote[/b] ]

Quote[/b] ](me)
I'm moding ProjectileStats to include 5 different types of bows:
-Short Bow
-Composite Bow (greater range, between long and short)
-Mounted Short Bow (less acurate than the Short Bow)
-Mounted Composite Bow (less acurate than the Composite Bow)
-Long Bow

However, in the corresponding CrusaderUnitProd, under ProjectileType the definition of projectile is:
-SBow
-Long
-MTLG
I can't find any correspondence with the names in the ProjectileStats file...

Does this mean that this names are hard-coded and that others cannot be added???

(el_slapper)
Unfortunately yes. The lone you can use is the shuriken, aka "NINJ", but you have to completely revamp the graphics related.....

Please tell me that someone has found a way around the problem...

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

Well I've read the ProjectileStats FAQ and got my answer:
It isn't possible to ad new projectiles...

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi all Not so much a new patron, more of an old one that hasn't been around in a while, but this thread seemed as good a place as any to post a general question, so here goes:

I'm trying to edit the vikings build file so that iron is required only for the top level armourers and metalsmiths, i.e. the first 2 levels can be built in any province that has a lvl3 castle and a lvl1 spearmaker.

Have tried changing the entry in the required resources column from {IRON} to "{}, {}, {IRON}", which looking at other columns in the file seemed like a good bet, but had no joy. Also tried putting spaces in the empty {}'s to see if that helped, more as a last ditch attempt than anything.

Anyone have any ideas? I know it's easy to remove the iron requirement completely, but that's not quite what i'm, after if possible.
Am I missing something stupid & obvious?
Am I flogging a dead horse on this one?

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can offer

[barocca]

This is going to require a bit of experiemntation,

basically you need to add a new building to the tech tree,
duplicate the metalsmith line in the build prod file,
so you would have
metalsmith and nu_metalsmith,

edit "metalsmith" so it ONLY refers to levels one and two metalsmiths, in that entry you remove the dependency on iron,

edit "nu_metalsmith" so that it only refers to level three, dont change the requirement for having metalsmith1,

now you can build levels one and two anywhere, but to upgrade to level three requires iron,

YOU ARE ADDING A NEW BUILDING,
so read this thread as well,

Hi guys.

I'm looking at changing the properties of the leaders in startpos for MTW V1.1

I've found the section with SetStartLeader:: and then nine numbers after it. I've managed to find out what each of the numbers represents but I've no idea how most of them influence the gameplay. Can somebody please help me to fill in the gaps??
Many thanks in advance:

1 - Loyalty - Only the Burgundians have a 1 for this, everyone else has 0. What does it actually do?

2 - Accumen - Affects how the faction in general gains wealth. No idea what the direct connection between the number and wealth gathering prowess is though.

3 - Dread - Affects the King's Dread. Again, no idea how the actual number relates to Dread.

4 - Warcraft - I guess this affects command, not sure how though.

5 - Piety - Affects piety in some waay - again, no idea how

6 - vice_index - Affects how the vices are chosen

7 - virtue_index - Affects how the virtues are chosen

8 - virtue_index - For some reason there's more than one of these

9 - virtue_index - In fact, there's three - what on earth is that all for?

I really have no idea how the nine numbers for each leader affect the actual stats they appear with. For example:

The english get 0 0 2 0 0 2 1 2 0 in my campaign, yet teh actual stats are as folows for the first King:

Influence - 8
Piety - 3
Dread - 9
Command - 4
Acumen - 4
V&Vs - Autocrat

So what's all that about - in what way do those few 0s and 1s and 2s give me those stats?

[Sir Zack de Caldicot]

ACTUALLY,
I do believe those are the roman-numerals from the heros.txt, correct me if im wrong

SIR ZACK DE CALDICOT

[maestro]

eh?

Sorry, dude. Can you clarify what u mean there??

*bump*

Anyone know the answer to how the numbers affect actual stats? Also - what do the numbers under the heirs represent in the same file??

[maestro]

After much more investigation I have discovered what these numbers actually represent. I appears that my original source where they represent the stats of teh Kings is only relevent when you're dealing with VI, and I'm using TW v1.1

The numbers represented here in the startpos files in V1.1 of MTW represent teh numbers after the names of the particular kings. For example, if you change the first number to 6 on the English, you get King William VI innit. The Kings then follow the sequence of numbers until the sequence starts again.

Cool

[Zhuge_Liang]

well, forgive me for my bad english, I will explain...
i used not to play the battles, but I always won because my army was stronger
I began playing with bizant and then when I began playing with other factions they became too powerfull
I began playing spanish and then bizant took controll of the russian lands
after unify all the world few times with spain, spanish become so strong to defeat muslims on early...
seen this I began playing with french, and while spanish was becoming strongh, I could unify the world
then I saw french defeats british and become powerfull while spanish defeats muslims and bizant takes russia
then I played the pope, and unify the world with them, and then, happened what I have never seen, pope become agressive, he began attacking naples and taking all italy
the same to danish, which never had moved, after unify the world with them they began attacking germans, as the swiss I added on early, who end to take all germany
then I played with turkians and as the other factions, they become strong and defeat egiptians and bizant
the same to aragonese, who move on valencia and toulouse
what happen? do I teach to my pc?
I have to say that since I play a few battles and I figth without play it, my army began to capture the enemy leader, what I have never seen before

[Sir Zack de Caldicot]

yeah, if you choose automatically fight battle, or whatever it says , you always get that message, probably because when you command personally, you now the details of the battle

[Zhuge_Liang]

is usual the nations became stronger after I win the game with them?

[Kaatar]

When I change CRUSADER_11 and put my own faction into anything it says:
Unknown faction specified
FN_IRISH

I thought I had done all of the required work and my faction is playable ... just not in battles ... but do you know how I can make it regonised the Irish as a faction?

[*Ringo*]

I'm just trying to debug my mod using the -ian command line switch and using the AI to control my faction (#) But i want to experiment with the AI build priorities and composition of AI armies; Is there a way (or key) to let the AI control the battles as well? I've already tried SHIFT+# but it doesn't seem to work Also are there any other tips people can give on debugging? (i.e time saving ideas, jumping to certain era's??? etc.)

Cheers for any replies

*Ringo*

[*Ringo*]

....yay my half century of posts....

(found the solution to my problem now, i was just being stupid )

[Kaatar]

I came on too strong again, didn't I? I'm so desperately lonely.

Help I still haven't figured this out.

[*Ringo*]

Katar, Have you made sure you declared the faction? Set regions? Start position? This is just off the top of my head, i'm at work right now but will try to give a more detailed answer later Unless someone with more modding experience wants to help out

*Ringo*

[Kaatar]

Anyone know the name of the flag that is visible during battles? The one that hovers over the unit and shows whether or not they are selected.

There's one for the general and one for the rest. Oddly, I haven't discovered it yet and it's really annoying.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Suraknar]

Ahh, yes thought something was different here :)

Well, nice to find you all once more.

Permit me to offer the drinks :)



It apears that in the year and something I have been away much much progress has been made, I sure do have lots of catching up to do in terms of moding Info, and I see Tools too.

I remember functionality of the sprites had just been documented back then and now, we have Hellenic and Napoleonic Mod Projects, to name a few, with all new sprites.

If memmory serves there was an issue with adding new sprites back then, something with folders not being recognised by the engine. Has that been addressed now?

Much to read much to learn

[Thoros of Myr]

This is regarding dead bodies to display in Barocca's STW mod.

I followed [DnC]'s instruction given in the post in the Repository but they still are not showing...
any help would be appreciated thank you.

[RZST]

hey man, um how do i enable the PoN faction so i can play them on early campaign? i seached the forums but cant seem to find the right topic. thx.

[Kaatar]

Open Early.txt located here:
C:\Program Files\Total War\Medieval - Total War\campmap\startpos

Use the find function to find "SetActiveFaction" then make the following change.

Change the "MINOR" in this line to "MAJOR"
SetActiveFaction:: FN_NOVGOROD FT_MINOR
so it look like this:
SetActiveFaction:: FN_NOVGOROD FT_MAJOR

[Saxit]

I made a new faction and now and then I get a CTD (usually the same year as I autosave, so that's probably it). All flags and units work, battle is no problem, I can't figure out why I get the CTD during on the campaign map though, it crashes right after it says "thinking".
Anyone had any similiar experience?
If I reload the autosave it will crash again, however, if I take a previous manual save and load it, it usually works fine and continues as normal.
