Rules Discussion and Confirmation Thread

Don't do anything hasty now, but...

The problem is, as I've told you, with it not finding the evocatae model. Your fix doesn't address that.



I wouldn't count on it: I've never actually worked with models before. That part I've left alone. However, I did open the descr_models_battle.txt and searched for evocata, then going back to the EDU I changed this:

soldier          roman_infantry_cohorsevocata_cohorspraetoriana, 40, 0, 1.2

To this:

soldier          roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria_evocata, 40, 0, 1.2

And that fixed it (the original didn't exist there). However, it gives a new error message about the officer battle model for the first legionary cohort now, the problem being that it refers to a "roman_eagle", which simply doesn't exist in the descr_model_battle. Long story short: your pack is whack, Skully, and I think you'll have to redo it.

OK, Since this pack is whack i suggest this. We all manually install this:
Lz3 basic modpack (RTW.exe)
RS Textures
TruePraetorian's PBeM Hotseat mod (v.1.2.1)
MAA's Citymod 5.1a (allied recruitment enabled)
Phalanxmod
Bovi's Spritefix
And get started with this hotseat.
What do you guys think.

Sounds good, but you'll want to use the sprite adaptation under the Notes section of Lz3's OP instead of Bovi's spritefix, otherwise several of the mini-mod elements will be overwritten.

[Skullheadhq]

ok lets do it!

[davepyne]

That's fine with me too!

If we all agree on that would you mind creating some links for those mini-mods you just mentioned. That way we will all be sure to install the correct stuff.

Thanks!

Sorry for absence lately.

But everyone HANG ON! Don't install the city mod or phalanx mod OVER the minimod pack...Lz3 has made compatible ones that are on the page itself so make sure you get those.

I actually never isntalled your pack either I just manually did it all.

And thanks for the hardwork Skull with the PBeM pack, sorry it didn't work

Plan on getting this PBeM started either tomorrow or Friday for sure.

In order, I installed Lz3's basic minimod pack, then the adapted citymod version 5.1a with allied recruitment (I think it was already included though), then the adapted phalanx mod, then the PBeM minimod.

[Incitatus]

I installed everything and it seems to work. Can't wait to get started.

I'd prefer if we made that Friday (tomorrow), and while we're at it, you could confirm me as well.

One question. I want to play Hotseat with a few friends but, I activated the two scripts and what do i do now?

[Mjolnir]

I have a question about step #5 from here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=109807

Generator is now included in the minimod folder. Now, create your script with your factions. DO NOT try slave. Buggy...trying them gave me so much trouble in the first place. It will save it to your C: drive. Find it, and rename it genericScript.txt. Put this into data/scripts/show_me.

Which factions are we doing that for?

[Subotan]

Friday please. But I'm going away the week after next for a week, so although I don't want to delay the game until then (Obviously), how will you proceed w/o me?

[TruePraetorian]

One question. I want to play Hotseat with a few friends but, I activated the two scripts and what do i do now?

After you activate the EBBS script (the usual) at the start of your turn, you then press F1 and hit the question mark, then the advisor, then show_me. After that, take your turn, hit end turn.

When the screen goes to the top left corner with a box saying "save completed" or whatever, click the check mark. Now, for the PBeM you simply exit out of the game, find the quicksave, and upload it.

For hotseat, press ctrl-L (keyboard hotkey for "load"). It then goes to the next factions turn. Viola. Make sure that you activate the scripts again for the next person's turn.

I'll just make the script and upload it, don't worry about it. It is currently made...but just incase someone else joins I will hold onto it. When I upload my save since Rome goes first, I will include the genericScript.txt

[cux47]

looks you guys met a lot of problems

let's just be patient and work it out together

Most of the problems are fixed now I think.

ok, so we skip step 5, but what about 6?

[Mjolnir]

When we going to get the boll rolling on this? Makedonia is ready to go.

[TruePraetorian]

Im a bit confused at your question..you activate both scripts to get hotseat. That's pretty much it

When we going to get the boll rolling on this? Makedonia is ready to go.

Yep, going to take my turn right after this post. Will upload the save and genericScript.txt.

Make sure you know the faction turn order please

[justmyname]

i was saying that i don't know what to do with "add to genericScript.txt". your instructions were clear up to this point, but i am a bit confused on this one.

[TruePraetorian]

i was saying that i don't know what to do with "add to genericScript.txt". your instructions were clear up to this point, but i am a bit confused on this one.

Oh I see. You open that up, copy ALL of it's contents. Then you open up the genericScript.txt and add it inbetween the lines stated in the instructions.

For the PBeM I am uploading the genericScript.txt, so don't worry about generating one.

Also, I am setting a rule. Because the first turn is a bit "unprepared" I think that diplomacy should be "turned off" for one season. So, on your first turn, you can attack enemies, build units, manage stuff etc. but you can't declare ceasfires or alliances or even trade rights OFFICIALY. This is meant so all players have an equal oppurtunity to see the map and can PM each other or post in the diplomacy thread. To reiterate, you should PM or post to each other so that OFFICAL diplomacy can be set next turn.

Other then that, I am uploading the first save.

The format of saves will be like this:
"EBPBeM-year-season-Recent Faction"
So, the first save is EBPBeM-272-2(summer)-Rome

1-spiring
2-summer
3-fall
4-winter

Put the genericScript in the scripts/show_me folder and the quicksave in the saves. To start your turn load up the game, click "Load Game" and click the Quicksave.

To upload it after your turn, go to your saves and copy the file. Put it in a folder named for the turn and upload it in a rar/zip.

[justmyname]

great. i'm ready to go

[cux47]

I'm the NO7 in the turn

fights on!!!

[Hax]

Can you confirm me please >;

[Mjolnir]

You can confirm Markedonia too.

the link provided for Download Skullheadhq's PBeM minimod pack leads to file front page but i cant see any sources for a download.

[TruePraetorian]

the link provided for Download Skullheadhq's PBeM minimod pack leads to file front page but i cant see any sources for a download.

That is because the minimod pack doesn't work. Instead, manually install everything in this order:

PBeM minimod
Lz3's minimod pack
Lz3's adapted Citymod for the appropriate version
Lz3's adapted Phalanx mod for the appropriate version
genericScript.txt from the Campaign Thread (In the first post)


Done

[justmyname]

all setup

[davepyne]

I've got everything installed except Bovi's Spritefix

Where do I gt that one?

Thanks.

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

I'm confused. I got a fresh EB 1.2, then installed main mini-mod pack, city, phalanx, etc... in the right order, but where do I get the sprite fix and did I need to install it earlier?

After that I'll be ready!

[TruePraetorian]

For the sprite fix go to the EB forum and it's in one of the subforums...permanent fixes or something.

But I dont think the sprite fix changes anything in the minimods so just put that in and you should be good to go.

[We shall fwee...Wodewick]

Then confirm the Punic Scum!

[TruePraetorian]

Haha, you mean the Punics, friends of Rome
