    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?

    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

    Most of the problems are fixed now I think.

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

    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.
