Having random meshes for a single horse

John25- · Nov 16, 2020

Hi everyone, I am working on a mod in which horses should have different colours (meshes) on a single item instead of having three times the same item but with a different mesh for each one. You could tell me to just leave it as it is, but this brings an issue:

One of the units in the mod can be either mounted or dismounted, but so far I have been using three items for the horse (saddle horse, hunter, and courser). The issue is that 3/4 of the units are mounted considering they have 3 horse items in their inventory, while I only want 1/2 of them to be mounted. I have noticed that the usual saddle horse in Warband is black in most cases but can also be white and brown:

["saddle_horse","Saddle Horse", [("saddle_horse",0),("horse_c",imodbits_horse_good)], itp_merchandise|itp_type_horse, 0, 240,abundance(90)|hit_points(100)|body_armor(8 )|difficulty(1)|horse_speed(45)|horse_maneuver(44)|horse_charge(10)|horse_scale(104),imodbits_horse_basic],

→ From a merchant in-game, and both horses refer to the same item in module_items.py

I am wondering if there is a way to make one horse item with all three saddle horse, hunter, and courser 'colours' (meshes), so that the ratio of mounted/dismounted soldiers would be closer to 1/2, and the ratio of the horse mesh would be close to 1/3 looking like a saddle horse, 1/3 looking like a courser, and 1/3 looking like a hunter. Considering the saddle_horse item can have two meshes (although one of them is imodbits_horse_good), I guess there can be a way to add a third mesh, and most important a way for all of them to appear equally in-game.
If I use a single item in the troop's inventory (new_horse), the ratio of mounted/dismounted soldiers is good (1/2), but all horses appear looking like saddle horses. Here is the code I have made:

["new_horse","Saddle Horse", [("saddle_horse",0),("courser",0),("hunting_horse",0)], itp_merchandise|itp_type_horse, 0,
240,abundance(90)|hit_points(100)|body_armor(8 )|difficulty(1)|horse_speed(45)|horse_maneuver(44)|horse_charge(10)|horse_scale(104),imodbits_horse_basic],

I was hoping that all three meshes would be appearing in-game by removing that imodbits_horse_good from the original saddle_horse item, however only the black ones appear and there are no hunter or courser meshes at all among the troops

I may simply have missed a detail in the coding process for the issue to be sorted, but have no idea of what needs to be done

The engine is expected to call always the first standard mesh, I would be surprised if it even put out a few cases of the other variants. It's not working that way. The only way which I would get into mind would be to have the exact same horse in different colours (given that you it available in different coloured variants).

Are you sure that you want to have three different meshes for the horse variants or would you also be fine with three differently textured variants of the same horse?

Is the troop expected to be unmounted and mounted sometimes? Since they are all sorted into the infantry group at the orders iirc. Not sure if you have watched out for that potential side effect.

John25- · Nov 16, 2020

I just need three textures considering the mesh is the same, but how to randomise them then?
The troop should be mainly unmounted but I can't afford to have three horse items in their Inventory as it would then be the opposite: most of them would be mounted. And in the meantime I would also like the horses to have random textures and not only one

Eärendil Ardamírë · Nov 16, 2020

Add in module_strings.py strings like

Code:

  ("random_horse_1", "random_horse_1"),
  ("random_horse__2", "random_horse_2"),
  ...
  ("random_horse_end", "random_horse_end"),

Be aware that the second entry should always be the name of the respective material for the relevant horse mesh. So you need to add the texture variants to your texture folder and create texture and material entries via openbrf in one of your brf files.
Make then use of the operation cur_item_set_material (looking through header_operations.py is worth the time)

Code:

cur_item_set_material                  = 1978   # (cur_item_set_material, <string_no>, <sub_mesh_no>, [<lod_begin>], [<lod_end>]), #only call inside ti_on_init_item in module_items # lod values are optional. lod_end is not included.

Apply it to the relevant horse entry in module_items.py via ti_on_init_item

Code:

  ["common_horse_a","Sumpter Horse",[("sumpter_horse",0)],itp_type_horse,0,50,hit_points(40)|body_armor(1)|difficulty(1)|horse_speed(28)|horse_maneuver(33)|horse_charge(5),imodbits_none,[(ti_on_init_item,[(store_random_in_range, ":rand_horse", "str_random_horse_1", "str_random_horse_end"),(cur_item_set_material, ":rand_horse", sumpter_horse),])]],

The horse should then have a random look. Not sure if I have written it up correctly but should only be bugfixing then for you (I think it should work without assigning the lod values behind).

Give me a short feedback if it works

John25- · Nov 16, 2020

I will try that tomorrow and get back to you, thanks a lot

John25- · Nov 17, 2020

I get this error when compiling module_items.py:

["new_horse","Saddle Horse", [("saddle_horse",0)], itp_merchandise|itp_type_horse, 0,
240,abundance(90)|hit_points(100)|body_armor(8 )|difficulty(1)|horse_speed(45)|horse_maneuver(44)|horse_charge(10)|horse_scale(104) ,imodbits_none,[(ti_on_init_item,[(store_random_in_range, ":rand_horse", "str_random_horse_1", "str_random_horse_end"),(cur_item_set_material, ":rand_horse", saddle_horse ),])]],
NameError: name 'saddle_horse' is not defined

What does that name refer to? A mesh? (which I guess would then have to be added to module_meshes.py)

Eärendil Ardamírë · Nov 17, 2020

A misstake of mine, Seek&Destroy helped me out with that at the modding discord. It should be

Code:

(cur_item_set_material, ":rand_horse", 0, 0)

But he also reported that it probably doesn't work for horses, so we might be at a dead end. You will have to try how it works out.

John25- · Nov 17, 2020

Nothing happens, there is only one texture appearing in-game

Eärendil Ardamírë · Nov 17, 2020

Hm, sad that it doesn't work out, I wanted to make use of that for horses too. I will think about which other ways might exist to reach that goal.

John25- · Nov 17, 2020

There is always the old solution of having two units: a mounted one with three horse items in its inventory, and a dismounted one with no horse
But this is a bit annoying as they both relate to the same unit in my mod. It would be much more convenient to have both of them as a one unit

Otherwise is there a way to change the ratio of what piece of equipment they will be using from their inventory?

Eärendil Ardamírë · Nov 17, 2020

There is something you could try out, I discussed it at the modding discord and if we haven't missed something yet it should work out.
I however want to underline the fact that it's purely experimental and I couldn't test it yet, so you would be my test bunny if you don't mind ^^

You define a new modifier constant at the top of module_items.py. Look for

Code:

# Some constants for ease of use.

and add at the end of all those lines

Code:

imodbits_random_horse = imodbit_timid | imodbit_meek

Assign this imodbit to the horse entries, given that the horses have no other modifiers (I am using the timid and meek modifier since they are unused ones without any active effect given you didn't restore them at module.ini).
You can then use this to bring in variants for the horse via assigning different meshes to the different imodbits like following example

Code:

["common_horse_a","Sumpter Horse",[("sumpter_horse_a",0), ("sumpter_horse_b",imodbit_timid), ("sumpter_horse_c",imodbit_meek)],itp_type_horse,0,50,hit_points(40)|body_armor(1)|difficulty(1)|horse_speed(28)|horse_maneuver(33)|horse_charge(5),imodbits_random_horse],

Now you can only give items with specific modifiers to troops and not an entire set imodbits and you want to give troops a horse with a random modifier. So something like this inside module_scripts.py should do it

Code:

    #script_random_horse
    #input: troop, item (horse)
    #output: none
    #result: troop gets items with modifiers
    ("random_horse",
    [
    (store_script_param, ":troop", 1),
    (store_script_param, ":item", 2),
    (troop_remove_item, ":troop", ":item"),
    (store_random_in_range, ":random", 0, 30),#change values here and at the following checks to edit the percentage
    (try_begin),
        (is_between, ":random", 0, 10),
        (troop_add_item, ":troop", ":item", 1),#no modifier, default
    (else_try),
        (is_between, ":random", 10, 20),
        (troop_add_item, ":troop", ":item", 8589934592),#timid modifier
    (else_try),
        (is_between, ":random", 20, 30),
        (troop_add_item, ":troop", ":item", 17179869184),#meek modifier
    (try_end),
    ]),

Then you need a place to get that script called which is module_mission_templates.py. There you need to watch out for the relevant mission templates for you (in singleplayer probably lead_charge) and there for the ti_on_agent_spawn. Integrate there then the following (so no simple copy pasting but adapting it into the already given code there)

Code:

    (ti_on_agent_spawn, 0, 0, [],
    [
    (store_trigger_param_1, ":agent_no"),
    (agent_get_horse, ":horse", ":agent_no"),
    (gt, ":horse", -1),
    (call_script, "script_random_horse", ":agent_no", ":horse"),
    ]),

To not overwrite the players/companions/lords/etc. horse imodbits you can let it be active only for the non-hero troops, it would then be instead the following

Code:

    (ti_on_agent_spawn, 0, 0, [],
    [
    (store_trigger_param_1, ":agent_no"),
    (agent_get_troop_id,":hero_check", ":agent_no"),
    (neg|troop_is_hero,":hero_check"),
    (agent_get_horse, ":horse", ":agent_no"),
    (gt, ":horse", -1),
    (call_script, "script_random_horse", ":agent_no", ":horse"),
    ]),

The drawback of this method which you might have noticed already would be that the horses which get affected by this script could get no other imodbits. You might want to have the other normal imodbits so you can simply create new horse entries which appear at the market for the player (and exclude the ones above from being sold there of course). To the Lords and Companions you could then assign an individual horse which is not changing the colours. Horses which are assigned to troops but do not have an individual mesh for one of the two imodbits call always the default, so you can also have troops which are all using the same horse or only two different horses with a 2:1 distribution.

One more step which you would need to do is removing the respective string of the imodbit, so that it won't show up inbattle. Copy paste the file item_modifiers.csv out of one of the language folder and add it to the english language folder (english is the default language, so most stuff there doesn't need a csv file). Then look inside for the two modifier and simply delete the entry for the string, so that it looks like the following in the end (for me in notepad).

Code:

imod_timid|%s
imod_meek|%s

As said, it's an experiment. You can test it or say nay. I can't tell you how quickly we manage to test this out otherwise though. If you test it, please give a feedback about the results

I could not find that item_modifiers.csv so I skipped the last step, but then I get an error message when compiling module_scripts.py:

Also, I could not find that piece of coding in module_mission_templates.py:

Just look in any language folder but not the english one.

Edit: You added more details after I wrote my response. You cannot simple drop the code just like that into the mission template file.

John25- said:

It's not existing like that as I wrote above. Just go to module_mission_templates and adapt it to any mission template with ti_on_agent_spawn. You need to integrate that code alongside the other existing one, preventing to make duplicates of some variables. Look up for example the mission template lead_charge and look there at the existing ti_on_agent_spawn.

John25- · Nov 18, 2020

I'm not quite sure to understand the part in module_mission_templates.py. I have found the "lead_charge" and added the code like this:

(
"lead_charge",mtf_battle_mode|mtf_synch_inventory,charge,

],

But it still shows me the error message when compiling so I must have done it the wrong way (?)

I am not quite sure about that "Illegal identifier:script_random_horse" because the random_horse script is there

You cannot have two ti_on_agent parts inside the same mission template, you need to merge them such way that they still make sense. In this case it should look like this:

Code:

    (ti_on_agent_spawn, 0, 0, [],
    [
    (store_trigger_param_1, ":agent_no"),
    (try_begin),
        (call_script, "script_agent_reassign_team", ":agent_no"),
        (assign, ":initial_courage_score", 5000),
        (agent_get_troop_id, ":troop_id", ":agent_no"),
        (store_character_level, ":troop_level", ":troop_id"),
        (val_mul, ":troop_level", 35),
        (val_add, ":initial_courage_score", ":troop_level"), #average : 20 * 35 = 700

        (store_random_in_range, ":randomized_addition_courage", 0, 3000), #average : 1500
        (val_add, ":initial_courage_score", ":randomized_addition_courage"),

        (agent_get_party_id, ":agent_party", ":agent_no"),      
        (party_get_morale, ":cur_morale", ":agent_party"),

        (store_sub, ":morale_effect_on_courage", ":cur_morale", 70),
        (val_mul, ":morale_effect_on_courage", 30), #this can effect morale with -2100..900
        (val_add, ":initial_courage_score", ":morale_effect_on_courage"),

        #average = 5000 + 700 + 1500 = 7200; min : 5700, max : 8700
        #morale effect = min : -2100(party morale is 0), average : 0(party morale is 70), max : 900(party morale is 100)
        #min starting : 3600, max starting  : 9600, average starting : 7200
        (agent_set_slot, ":agent_no", slot_agent_courage_score, ":initial_courage_score"),
    (else_try),
        (agent_get_troop_id,":hero_check", ":agent_no"),
        (neg|troop_is_hero,":hero_check"),
        (agent_get_horse, ":horse", ":agent_no"),
        (gt, ":horse", -1),
        (call_script, "script_random_horse", ":agent_no", ":horse"),
    (try_end),
    ]),

Where did you put the script_random_horse? I hope you just added it somewhere at the bottom of module_scripts.py

Compiling works now, thanks
Let's have a look in-game

John25- · Nov 18, 2020

Nope nothing, still one same texture for all horses. I wonder though, should the changes we made appear for multiplayer troops?

Eärendil Ardamírë · Nov 18, 2020

Where are you testing it now? The example mission template used above is the one of singleplayer battle. You have to restart the game after compiling should you have had it running already.

John25- · Nov 18, 2020

I have tried again with singleplayer but still the same issue, only one texture appearing

How does your horse entry and your troop entry look like?

Having random meshes for a single horse
