@somebody Do you know why this doesn't work?

Hi,
I added this script look like:

("player_arrived",
[
(assign, ":player_faction_culture", "fac_culture_1"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_supporters_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
]),
("vaegir",
[
(assign, ":player_faction_culture", "fac_culture_2"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_supporters_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
]),
("kergit",
[
(assign, ":player_faction_culture", "fac_culture_3"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_supporters_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
]),
("nord",
[
(assign, ":player_faction_culture", "fac_culture_4"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_supporters_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
]),
("rodok",
[
(assign, ":player_faction_culture", "fac_culture_5"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_supporters_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
]),
("sarranid",
[
(assign, ":player_faction_culture", "fac_culture_6"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_supporters_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_player_faction", slot_faction_culture, ":player_faction_culture"),
]),

and uncomment this

("continue",[], "Continue...",
[
(assign, "$g_starting_town", "$current_town"),
(call_script, "script_player_arrived"),
(party_set_morale, "p_main_party", 100),
(set_encountered_party, "$current_town"),
(call_script, "script_prepare_alley_to_fight"),

then add this menus:

("kultur1",0,
"Select a cheat:",
"none",
[
],
[
("svadya",[], "Choose Swadia culture...",
[(call_script,"script_player_arrived"),

]
),
("vaegir",[], "Choose Vaegir culture...",
[(call_script,"script_vaegir"),

]
),
("kergit",[], "Choose Khergit culture...",
[(call_script,"script_kergit"),

]
),
("nord",[], "Choose Nord culture...",
[(call_script,"script_nord"),

]
),
("rodok",[], "Choose Rhodok culture...",
[(call_script,"script_rodok"),

]
),
("sarranid",[], "Choose Sarranid culture...",
[(call_script,"script_sarranid"),

]
),
("geri",[], "Go back...",
[
(jump_to_menu, "mnu_camp_action"),
]
),
]
),

then When I choose a culture dosn't work, anyone know why?

Could you guys tell me what this means?

Code:

(1,mtef_defenders|mtef_team_0,0,aif_start_alarmed,12,[]), (0,mtef_defenders|mtef_team_0,0,aif_start_alarmed,0,[]), (4,mtef_attackers|mtef_team_1,0,aif_start_alarmed,12,[]), (4,mtef_attackers|mtef_team_1,0,aif_start_alarmed,0,[]),

Click to expand...

It arranges what the troops spawned in that entry points do. For instance, the troop spawned in entry point 1 is defender and it is alarmed which means it will start atacking when you jump the scene.

what about the array at the end?

first thing you do on any file is read the comments in it:

#  2) Mission-template flags (int): See header_mission-templates.py for a list of available flags
#  3) Mission-type(int): Which mission types this mission template matches.
#     For mission-types to be used with the default party-meeting system,
#     this should be 'charge' or 'charge_with_ally' otherwise must be -1.

#  4) Mission description text (string).

(For native MP):
Ive created 3 new player slots and am now trying to add a value (1) to them when the player gets a kill.
It has worked when I tried it global vars at first, but with the slots it doesnt work anymore:

Code:

        (try_begin),
            (this_or_next|eq, ":troop_no", "trp_vaegir_archer_multiplayer"),                  #
            (this_or_next|eq, ":troop_no", "trp_nord_archer_multiplayer"),                   #
            (this_or_next|eq, ":troop_no", "trp_swadian_crossbowman_multiplayer"),          # Checks player class
            (this_or_next|eq, ":troop_no", "trp_rhodok_veteran_crossbowman_multiplayer"),    #
            (this_or_next|eq, ":troop_no", "trp_khergit_veteran_horse_archer_multiplayer"),    #
            (eq, ":troop_no", "trp_sarranid_archer_multiplayer"),                              #
            (val_add, slot_player_rngexp, 1),                      
            (str_store_string,s1,"@Added 1 to rng"),                                                                  #Stores the string and later displays it(this part works)

I have tried using player_get_slot to assign it to a variable, add 1 there and use player_set_slot to set the slot=variable after that, but it didnt work either... What am I doing wrong here?

I'm loading mod resource, got the brf and textures in the right module folder, yet in game the objects are invisible. Why?

What do you define as "working"? How are you check what culture the player faction is using?

The contents of slots are properties of an array. You are literally adding slot_player_rngexp by 1 (which won't work when you have the constant as the lefthand value).
In that script there will be a place where you can find the player id. This is the value you use with player_get/set_slot operations, not the troop id, not the agent id. Read header_operations to see how slot operations work, it's fairly simple once you realize the slots you define in module_constants are indices to an array.

I assume looking for the troops recruited from the faction's villages or town walkers.

How do I concatenate a variable to a string?

Code:

(assign, ":enemy_count", 0),
(display_message,"@Enemies on the field: {:enemy_count}"),

The code above displays "Enemies on the field: unrecognized token" or something like that. I tried without the colon and it doesn't work either.

Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James · May 27, 2015

Replace the local variable (in your case, ":enemy_count") with a register like reg0. Just make sure you use a register that isn't assigned somewhere else in the code.

Ok so I'm finally gonna start modelling stuff (well actually its just gonna be the world map for now

) but I'm torn as to which modelling software I should start with. Its a choice between Blender and Wings3D.

I have little to no modelling experience so Wings3D looks a lot simpler to use although I'm not sure if it will have all the features I will be needing (modelling, texturing, rigging and I'll eventually be doing a few custom animations)

So, which one should I be starting with?

I'm tryig to add "itm_dedal_kufel" to the entries between 16, 32 in "visit_town_castle" mission. here the codes I added to enter_court script:

(try_for_range, ":cur_pos", 16, 32), #was (assing, ":cur_pos", 16),
(mission_tpl_entry_clear_override_items,"mt_visit_town_castle",":cur_pos"),
(mission_tpl_entry_add_override_item,"mt_visit_town_castle",":cur_pos","itm_dedal_kufel"),

(try_begin),
(troop_get_slot, ":player_spouse", "trp_player", slot_troop_spouse),
(gt, ":player_spouse", 0),
(troop_slot_eq, ":player_spouse", slot_troop_cur_center, ":center_no"),
(set_visitor, ":cur_pos", ":player_spouse"),
(val_add,":cur_pos", 1),
(else_try),
(troop_get_slot, ":player_betrothed", "trp_player", slot_troop_betrothed),
(gt, ":player_betrothed", 0),
(troop_slot_eq, ":player_betrothed", slot_troop_cur_center, ":center_no"),
(set_visitor, ":cur_pos", ":player_betrothed"),
(val_add,":cur_pos", 1),
(try_end),

(try_begin),
(eq, "$g_player_court", ":center_no"),
(gt, "$g_player_minister", 0),
(neg|troop_slot_eq, "trp_player", slot_troop_spouse, "$g_player_minister"),
(set_visitor, ":cur_pos", "$g_player_minister"),
(val_add,":cur_pos", 1),
(try_end),
##diplomacy begin
(try_begin),
(gt, "$g_player_chamberlain", 0),
(call_script, "script_dplmc_appoint_chamberlain"), #fix for wrong troops after update
(party_get_slot, ":town_lord", ":center_no", slot_town_lord),
(eq, ":town_lord", "trp_player"),
(set_visitor, ":cur_pos", "$g_player_chamberlain"),
(val_add,":cur_pos", 1),
(try_end),

(try_begin),
(gt, "$g_player_constable", 0),
(call_script, "script_dplmc_appoint_constable"), #fix for wrong troops after update
(party_get_slot, ":town_lord", ":center_no", slot_town_lord),
(eq, ":town_lord", "trp_player"),
(set_visitor, ":cur_pos", "$g_player_constable"),
(val_add,":cur_pos", 1),
(try_end),

I added the red ones and changed the blue one. But the kufel spawns only on the the troop who spawn entry 16's hand, it does not spawn for the other entries. How can I make it spawn for all the entries between 16 and 32?

@litdum try_for_range needs to have a corresponding try_end, so you need to add (try_end), at the bottom.

Do you mean as "at the bottom" here :

(try_for_range, ":cur_pos", 16, 32),
(mission_tpl_entry_clear_override_items,"mt_visit_town_castle",":cur_pos", val_add,":cur_pos", 1),
(mission_tpl_entry_add_override_item,"mt_visit_town_castle",":cur_pos","itm_dedal_kufel", val_add,":cur_pos", 1),
(try_end),

(try_begin),
(troop_get_slot, ":player_spouse", "trp_player", slot_troop_spouse),
(gt, ":player_spouse", 0),
(troop_slot_eq, ":player_spouse", slot_troop_cur_center, ":center_no"),
(set_visitor, ":cur_pos", ":player_spouse"),
(val_add,":cur_pos", 1),
(else_try),

(gt, ":player_betrothed", 0),
(troop_slot_eq, ":player_betrothed", slot_troop_cur_center, ":center_no"),
(set_visitor, ":cur_pos", ":player_betrothed"),
(val_add,":cur_pos", 1),

or here(nearly at the end of "enter_court" script):

(try_begin),
#If the player is unmarried, reserve zero to 8 slots for women
(lt, ":player_spouse", 1),
(store_random_in_range, ":reserved", 0, 9),
(else_try),
#If the player is married, reserve zero to four slots for women
(store_random_in_range, ":reserved", 0, 5),
(try_end),
(store_sub, ":non_lady_max", 32, ":reserved"),
#diplomacy end+
(party_get_num_companion_stacks, ":num_stacks","p_temp_party"),
(try_for_range, ":i_stack", 0, ":num_stacks"),
(party_stack_get_troop_id, ":stack_troop","p_temp_party",":i_stack"),
##diplomacy start+
#(lt, ":cur_pos", 32), # spawn up to entry point 32 - is it possible to add another 10 spots?
(lt, ":cur_pos", ":non_lady_max"),#Leave some room for ladies in huge feasts
##diplomacy end+
(set_visitor, ":cur_pos", ":stack_troop"),
(val_add,":cur_pos", 1),
(try_end),
(try_end),
(try_for_range, ":cur_troop", kingdom_ladies_begin, kingdom_ladies_end),
(neq, ":cur_troop", "trp_knight_1_1_wife"), #The one who should not appear in game
#(troop_slot_eq, ":cur_troop", slot_troop_occupation, slto_kingdom_lady),

?
Anyway. Both do not work for me

. After i added this try_end, only 1 troop spawns and he\she spawns on only entry 31. The other troops are not seen in court. I think this problem can be about (val_add,":cur_pos", 1), lines. Do you know what it means? and Do you think the problem can be about this?

(assing, ":cur_pos", 16),

(try_begin),
(troop_get_slot, ":player_spouse", "trp_player", slot_troop_spouse),
(gt, ":player_spouse", 0),
