make parties spawn in specific places

Is it possible to make 2 or more parties spawn in a specific place like for historical battles

Sure. Place a marker party, use (set_spawn_radius, 0) to get rid of positioning randomization and call (spawn_around_party) to create your historical party exactly at the marker.

Or if you know the coordinates, spawn the party anywhere and immediately call (party_set_position).

and youd do that in module_parties?

No, its done in module_scripts.

i sound like a noob but how sould you do that specifically

lol I asked the same question last week. Let me help you
Assume that you had already made a party template, if you haven't. Search for other tutorials.

_______________
module_parties.py
Go to the second last line, before the close-square-bracklet
add

first new_sp is the ID of the spawn point, and the second new_sp is the name of the spawn point. pf_disabled means that new_sp isn't showed in-game. Usually it won't show up. But bandit lairs like "mountain bandit cdave" will be shown. Other's IDK. fac_outlaw means bandits and such, if it's normal. Type fac_neutral. then also IDK. And (30,45) is the coordinates. 30,45 is somewhere around the borders of Swadia and Khergit.

______________
module_script.py
First, go to line 32799 (I know it's long, but the reality is this)
or you could search for keyword : (store_num_parties_of_template, ":num_parties", "pt_mountain_bandits"),

Then copy

And change parts. "pt_mountain_bandits" to "pt_your_party_name" <-- Your party name, not "your party name". BTW you need "pt_" first
Then    (lt,":num_parties",16) 16 is the number of parties will be spawned
            "num_mountain_bandit_spawn_points" This is the name of the type of spawn point. Not the number of spawn point, the no. of sp is changed in other places
            "p_mountain_bandit_spawn_point" refers to the thing you made at parties.py
            (set_spawn_radius, 25) is the thing the above guy talked about. The radius where the party will spawn. If you want it to spawn at a specific point. Change it to 1
            at last, change pt_mountain_bandits to "pt_your_party_name" <-- Your party name, not "your party name". BTW you need "pt_" first <-- Copied
           
___________________
module_constant.py
Search for keyword "num_sea_raider"
or line 1652

then after
num_sea_raider_spawn_points

add this thing "num_spawn_point), it refers to the line below, which is (again) copied.
("num_mountain_bandit_spawn_points" This is the name of the type of spawn point. Not the number of spawn point, the no. of sp is changed in other places)

Congratz! that's all you need!!

i can get it to work up until the module_scripts bit i put in the name of my party and it comes up "Error Illegal identifer "pt_harold"

and i donet understant the last bit in constants

Actually I also don't understand why. But in the constant. First is the num_ thing which is from the script file. And the = 1 means how many spawn points for that party.

pt_harold is the name of the party template. Make sure all of it is the same name.

In Module System, all references must be put in quotes.

Of course, both "p_looters_lair" and "pt_looters" must be defined in module_parties.py and module_party_templates.py respectively.
