hi all, i was wondering if there is someone here who understands how to make ur own customizable army with the editor and stuff because i have tried it multiple times but always did something wrong like, i dont get the right troops, everyone has my troops , etc etc so.. could someone please help me with it? like i'll give you kind of troops i want and you can do whatever with it, arm them, skill them however you please. i really want to play the mod but dont quite understand how to make my own troops which is a shame :sad:
 
It is tough to start if you have no prior coding knowledge.  I recommend getting Unofficial Troop Editor by HokieBT for the easy-to-use GUI.  Use this tool for editing stats/equipment/troop trees/ ect. and ect.  Here is a step by step guide on how to add more troops so that you can make a larger troop tree.

  • Open up the directory for Custom Settlements 0.675
  • Open up the .txt file titled "troops.txt"
  • Assuming you opened this in Notepad, go to Edit>Find and make the search look for the word "custom"
  • You will see two units:

Copy these two units to the bottom of the "troops.txt"
  • Now feel free to use the Unofficial Troop Editor to edit the troop trees/equipment/stats/ whatever...  Just remember that
Code: 
trp_f_custom_recruit
is female while
Code: 
trp_custom_recruit

  • is male.

Hope this helps and enjoy Custom Settlements! 
 
You copy them to the bottom and you edit them in the Unofficial Troop Editor.  The faction I usually keep the same.  Good luck!
 
No problem!  Honestly, I just would like to see more of the community active again and always happy to participate.
 
yeah well, i guess after wicked kinda stopped with the mod ( or thats what ive read somewhere ) i guess it slowly died here, star wars conquest & custom settlements and the only 2 mods i still play, and SWC has been giving me crashes and errors lately so i have to wait for next version :sad:
 
i'm having trouble with the custom troops, i copied and pasted a custom troop tree from another player in a post, i edited them with the troop editor so they are the advancement options of eachother and they're all in the faction 1. commoners, but now when i claim a settlement and add a mega wave of villagers, i only see fighters and champions, when i go to the option for military training, it says there are # amount of men available, so i select train, when training is over i dont see any new troops, only the fighters troop dissapearing and weaponmerchant appears... does anyone know what to do?

You can only add troops at the end of the troops.txt file.
They are referenced by troop number in other files, if for example the files call troop 120 and you added 4 troops before that unit you will get the former troop 116 instead.

The steps should be:
[list type=decimal]
[*]Add the new troops at the end of the file troops.txt.
[*]Replace the existing trp_custom_recruit and trp_f_custom_recruit with the ones from the new troops.
[*]Edit the advancement options for the recruits and the new troops.
[/list]
You will have to start a new game to use the new troops.
 
oke,

step 1, yes i copied and pasted them from a player on the forum and added them at the end of my troops.txt
step2, do you mean the base trp_custom_recruit that you have to copy and paste if you want to start making you're own troops that are located somewhere above the troop.txt file?


i deleted custom settlements and im going to retry it again. first without the unofficial patch made by manka, if it works then im going to add the patch and try again

Yes, custom troop trees (at least for Custom Settlement) should all have both trp_custom_recruit and trp_f_custom_recruit.
Use these to replace the two already existing troops.

Just make a copy of the files you want to edit (troops.txt) and you don't need a full install.

P.S. I just checked, Manka's patch includes my City Add-On v0.675+1. With that I can hopefully fix Whitecreek.  :grin:
 
oke i did as  you say, and now i get the troops i copied and paste, but when they get enough experiance they just auto advance into some of the followup advancements without me choosing it?
 
If you let your troops in the settlement long enough, they will level-up and auto advance randomly. If you take them with you, they will level up but let you choose how to advance them.
 
It is clear that you have a problem with the scripts. Install this last version of Mount&Blade 1.011:
http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=2595
Then try this version of Customm Settlements (It is version 0.675 with the +3 towns addon) that I have modified.
http://www.crocko.com/9F60030F4A3249C5BF6FD40292126C55/Custom_Settlements_0_675_3_M.zip
It aleady contains a custom troop tree made by someone else.
 
ah oke, so i just instal the new patch, and copy the new files from the new custom settlement version over the existing files? the patch is not savegame compatible i guess?
 
I don't know what version of the Custom Settlements you had. I guess it would be safer to start a new game. There are a few changes in the mod version I have sent you. The ransom fpor the prisoners depend on their level, the looters and the thieves are a little tougher, there are more traveling peasants, wood and food production is higher than gold and stone production and the mercenaries will fight with the adventurers sometimes.
