One banner per faction?

[Bismarck]

Good day, fellow warriors,

I am toying around with the module system and I would like to change the banners of the lords. Every Swadian lord should get the black double-headed eagle on yellow ground (HRE) while the Vaegirs should get the yellow double-headed eagle on red ground (Byzantine).

Now how do I accomplish that with the module system? Could you please help me?

read here and wait for somebody to hopefully respond.

I may have time to respond tonight, and if not tonight tomorrow.

I'm glad I'm not the only person that bothers.

Yes. You can change the mesh name associated with the banner ID (quite complicated in 1.010). Take a look at:

module_meshes.py

module_scene_props.py

Then change the banner assigning script to point to 1 banner per faction.

The module_meshes.py is new and contains the code for custom banner. I have not spent much time on this, so I don't know for sure what is going on.

What happens if you choose a faction banner as your personal banner? Does the entire faction get the red checkered flag?

[SPD_Phoenix]

I think you can move all of the faction banners to the top of the list. Then change the cript (presentation) to offset the number of banner so they don't appear in the banner selection screen.

I'm just going to answer here:

This is the original code.  You will replace it with the code I write after it:

Code: [Select]

(assign, ":num_khergit_lords_assigned", 0),
     
      (try_for_range, ":kingdom_hero", kingdom_heroes_begin, kingdom_heroes_end),
        (store_troop_faction, ":kingdom_hero_faction", ":kingdom_hero"),
        (try_begin),

          (store_sub, ":hero_offset", ":kingdom_hero", kingdom_heroes_begin),
          (val_sub, ":hero_offset", ":num_khergit_lords_assigned"),#Remove khergits from offset since their banners are assigned above here
          (try_begin),

            (val_add, ":hero_offset", khergit_banners_end_offset),

          (troop_set_slot, ":kingdom_hero", slot_troop_loyalty, 100),

      (troop_get_slot, ":selected_banner_spr", "trp_player", slot_troop_banner_scene_prop),

        (assign, ":end_cond", 0),
      (try_end),

replace spr_BANNER_ID = spr_your_banner_id

I think this will work.  Test it out and tell me what happens.

[HokieBT]

grail - thanks very much, I'll hopefully try this out in the next day or so!

[Jubal]

I just tested this - it works like a dream.

[HokieBT]

I just tested this and it works great for me too.  thanks grailknighthero!   Few random comments for anybody that wants to try this:

+ in grail's code he has fac_kingdom_3 listed a few times, make sure you update it
+ in grail's code he has Rhodok as the 4th else_try and Nord as the 5th.  Nord is the 4th faction so you may want to reverse those
+ it seems banners can still get messed up, so I commented out the following lines in "banner_selection" found in module_presentations.py
          (troop_set_slot, ":cur_troop", slot_troop_banner_scene_prop, banner_scene_props_end_minus_one),
          (party_set_banner_icon, ":cur_party", banner_map_icons_end_minus_one),
          (party_set_banner_icon, ":cur_center", banner_map_icons_end_minus_one),
+ hopefully there aren't any other places in the code banners are changed. 

[grailknighthero]

Lol, I meant to change the faction 3s to the right ones.  Opps.  You are right about the Rhodoks and Nords as well.  I forgot about the presentation thing in the banner.  You should just need to comment out the part which switches the banner of a hero if the player chooses that banner.

[swasta]

I seem to recall that when a lord gets defeated, on respawn, the system assigns a new banner to him?

[grailknighthero]

Are you saying native does that, because it doesn't, or are you saying the code I gave does that?

[swasta]

I had banner id errors on lord respawn. May not be related.
