Compilation of 82 little tweaks to the text files to change your gameplay(links)

Just to mess around with the options.

You're a genius! Thanks!

Go into menus.txt and search for:

mno_tutorial_cheat  1 31 2 1 0

Change that 0 to a 1 and you will have the "CHEAT!" option on the "You arrive in Calradia" screen.

What it does is turn cheatmode on, which makes almost every script display what's going on (like Lord X is doing X, Claimant X is in X). It also gives you a bunch of xp, high prisoner management/leadership, an army, and an inventory full of tournament armor.

Thanks TML.

New Tweak: Change Faction Color (New game required for effect, reloading module data in Edit Mode doesn't work.)

Tired of seeing all bandit parties as gray? Want to add color to your own party (and faction if you go rebel)? Well, here is a tweak to do this.

1. Go to http://flor.nl/dec2hex.html and put your web-formatted RGB color in the Hex field, then hit the tab key. For example, let's use FF2222, a nice shade of red for the M&B world map.

2. Open factions.txt.

3. Change the following value in red to the value in the Dec field from the web page's conversion results.

0 fac_outlaws Outlaws 33280 8947848
 0.000000  -0.600000  0.500000  0.000000  -0.050000  -0.500000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  -0.150000  -0.050000  -0.050000  -0.050000  -0.050000  -0.050000  -0.050000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  -0.600000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000

becomes

0 fac_outlaws Outlaws 33280 16720418
 0.000000  -0.600000  0.500000  0.000000  -0.050000  -0.500000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  -0.150000  -0.050000  -0.050000  -0.050000  -0.050000  -0.050000  -0.050000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  -0.600000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  0.000000

The value in red is the integer value of the converted web compliant hex color. Now, outlaw parties on the world map will show in red.

I was wondering if you could post this up with your modified numbers

[CBCRonin]

Azzer, changing spawn time on bandits is actually quite easy. Go into simple_triggers.txt and find:

36.000000  1 1 1 936748722493063455

(that's the entire trigger). The 36 is the number of hours between calling the script that spawns stuff. That one script spawns everything from looters to deserters.

Would you happen to know if this line in simple_triggers (only a few lines below the one in your quote):
168.000000  4 520 3 1224979098644774912
is the trigger for the army weekly payday?

If so, I plan on changing it to a monthly or bi-weekly pay scale, rather than a weekly one. (I know that the notification message will still say weekly, but I can live with it unless I find the text for it after this post ).

Paying common soldiers four times a month has always seemed excessive to me, especially when one considers the fact that they get a portion of the loot after a battle.

[TheMageLord]

Sure.

Thats with all the changes I mentioned in the post as what I use (castles set to 1 point, base renown set to 250, 50-60 random range, 2x capture bonus, 20x king's relation multiplier).

[Wraithcat]

While I'm editing troops files, how about making those damn cattle run faster?


What this does is make them mounted and raise their riding and pathfinding skills to 10, thus increasing the party speed by quite a bit. It's kind of funny to think of making CATTLE mounted and giving them high riding skills, but if it works it works.

Ha!! Mounted Cattle as troops!

Just wait until I give them all black armour and heavy two handed swords!! 

[TheMageLord]

CBCRonin,

Nope, the one you are referring to is the one that reduces your renown by 0.5% every week.

The one you're looking for is:

168.000000  8 1 1 936748722493063285 2133 2 1224979098644774912 72057594037927936 2120 3 1224979098644774913 1224979098644774912 144115188075856031 4 0 32 2 1224979098644774913 0 2060 1 864691128455135260 3 0 2133 2 144115188075856356 0

By the way, nice tweak Hardcode. I added it

Thank you very much for the info.

I think I'll change both to a monthly scale  .

[maxs]

Ah ML thank you so much =) Staring at strings of numbers is not my forte at all, much appreciated!

[russ555]

is it possible to edit files so that villages weill always resist when loot them?

[TheMageLord]

Villages already always resist when you have 25 or less party size, so if you want to slaughter peasants just bring 25 men and have fun. No tweak needed

They leave you alone when you have 26+

[dem466]

Go into menus.txt and search for:

mno_tutorial_cheat  1 31 2 1 0

Change that 0 to a 1 and you will have the "CHEAT!" option on the "You arrive in Calradia" screen.

What it does is turn cheatmode on, which makes almost every script display what's going on (like Lord X is doing X, Claimant X is in X). It also gives you a bunch of xp, high prisoner management/leadership, an army, and an inventory full of tournament armor.

is there  a way to enable cheat mode after you have started the game?
