Adding a new faction

[PuuKKo]

Do you still get the errors then?

Yep, straight at the beginning I get one and a bit later three more. I added the merchants and the scenes without problems, only issues now are the error messages.

 

[Dindi]

what do the errors say??

 

[PuuKKo]

what do the errors say??

-I still get some errors at the beginning:


-When entering the castles I get the prison guard conversation

Eventhough I get those errors about "kingdom_heroes", all the added heroes are there.
The castle problem still occurs. I tried to solve it, but ended up having village scenes instead of castles. When trying to fix that I got back to having the prisoner conversation... 

 

[swasta]

Not sure if you have solved the error message, but to me it's caused by having too many knights (faction lords) but not enough banners. There's probably more than 1 solution and I simply create more in modules_map_icons (?) and point them to the same image

 

[N0ught]

For one thing:

(faction_get_slot, ":troop", ":culture",  slot_faction_tier_5_troop),
(faction_set_slot, ":faction_no",  slot_faction_tier_5_troop, ":troop"),

Copy that and change it to faction 6 stuff.

... is incorrect! You are asking it to define a sixth tier for troops, which is undefined. I was having errors until i removed these lines, now it compiled fine.

May be because of the constants in module_constants.py
The error indicated that the IDs are off. For example, you go the the last castle in the list, but you get the first village instead. Some examples:

kingdoms_begin = "fac_player_supporters_faction"
kingdoms_end = "fac_kingdoms_end"

kings_begin = "trp_kingdom_1_lord"
kings_end = "trp_knight_1_1"

towns_begin = "p_town_1"
castles_begin = "p_castle_1"
villages_begin = "p_village_1"

There are more. Just make sure all of your new stuffs are covered.

Change the factions.txt in your mod folder

I have created a new faction but i cannot recruit soldiers from villages and the king does not wear any clothes in his castle. I get problems with building the mod if i add more troops. I also wonder how to make one of the lords to a girl?
somebody help?

For the king, you could use Troop Editor, or you couyld go to troops.py and if you put clothes for him, put there tf_guarantee_armor and etc, and about making lords girls, troop editor.

About the recruiting thing, I dunno.

 

[Deathincarnatelolz]

I added some new factions and renamed the others. It was all ok until I scripted the diplomacy in module_factions.py. Was what I doing correct?

 

[Nethros]

I added a new faction. I've changed all the reinforcements and any hints to it I can find in module_scripts.

However, when I load up the game and check out the town I assigned to the new king, there's the regular garisson, and then the lord's party. However, the lord's party only consists of himself. Any ideas?

 

[Temuzu]

Necro much?

I dunno, it would propably fix itself in time. Lord would gather more troops and stuff.

 

[Nethros]

I waited for at least a week with no change.

 

[Mayhem]

did you actually add any troops to his party?

 

[Nethros]

No, but the original heroes didn't have any troop added to their parties, in the module system. They didn't have parties defined, for that matter.

I thought the hero would use the fac_reinforcements for his own party.

 

[Mayhem]

Does he have any money? Have you defined three faction reinforcement parties? Otherwise I have no idea 

 

[Nethros]

I did define the three reinforcements.

I don't think he has money, but I copied him straight off an existing knight, so if it works for the original one, it should apply for him as well, shouldn't it?

EDIT: I believe I fixed it. The heroes were too far down the list, I've put them right after the original factions now.

i posted this a couple days ago in a different topic

Module factions:

Code:
("kingdom_6",  "My Faction",  0, 0.9, [("outlaws",-0.05),("peasant_rebels", -0.1),("deserters", -0.02),("mountain_bandits", -0.05),("forest_bandits", -0.05)], [], colourcode here),
colour code:
blue      = 0xFFAAAAFF
light blue = 0xFFAAD8FF
red        = 0xFFFFAAAA
yellow    = 0xFFFFFFAA
pink      = 0xFFFFAAFF
purple    = 0xFF6AAA89
black      = 0xFFAAAAAA
white      = 0xFFFFFFFF
green      = 0xFFAAFFAA
brown      = 0xFF7A4800

module_scripts: (press crt F and look for diplomacy this stuff is around there)

Code:
(call_script, "script_diplomacy_start_war_between_kingdoms", "fac_kingdom_1", "fac_kingdom_6"),

Code:
    (faction_set_slot, "fac_kingdom_6",  slot_faction_culture, "fac_culture_6"),
      (faction_set_slot, "fac_kingdom_6",  slot_faction_leader, "trp_kingdom_6_lord"),

Code:
(else_try),
          (faction_slot_eq, ":faction_no", slot_faction_culture, "fac_culture_6"),
     
          (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no", slot_faction_deserter_troop, "trp_rhodok_deserter"),
          (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no", slot_faction_guard_troop, "trp_rhodok_trained_spearman"),
          (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no", slot_faction_messenger_troop, "trp_rhodok_messenger"),
          (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no", slot_faction_prison_guard_troop, "trp_rhodok_prison_guard"),
          (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no", slot_faction_castle_guard_troop, "trp_rhodok_castle_guard"),
          (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no",  slot_faction_reinforcements_a, "pt_kingdom_6_reinforcements_a"),
          (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no",  slot_faction_reinforcements_b, "pt_kingdom_6_reinforcements_b"),
          (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no",  slot_faction_reinforcements_c, "pt_kingdom_6_reinforcements_c"),

Code:
(call_script, "script_give_center_to_lord", "p_town_11", "trp_kingdom_6_lord"),(cant remeber what town_11 is look in module_parties)

module_troops

Code:
["kingdom_6_lord",  "King Me",  "Kingdom 6 Lord",  tf_hero, 0,reserved,  fac_kingdom_6,[itm_hunter,itm_ragged_outfit,      itm_leather_boots, itm_mail_chausses, itm_lamellar_cuirass, itm_military_pick, itm_heater_shield, itm_flat_topped_helmet], lord_attrib,wp(220),knows_lord_1, 0x00000000000c52c801fb6da6ab995795],
i hope all that helps

and this in module_party_templates


Code:
  ("kingdom_6_reinforcements_a", "kingdom_6_reinforcements_a", 0, 0, fac_commoners, 0, [(trp_rhodok_spearman,40,50),(trp_rhodok_tribesman,40,50)]),

Code:
  ("kingdom_6_reinforcements_b", "kingdom_6_reinforcements_b", 0, 0, fac_commoners, 0, [(trp_rhodok_gunner,20,40),(trp_rhodok_trained_crossbowman,20,60),(trp_rhodok_crossbowman,30,70)]),

Code:
("kingdom_6_reinforcements_c", "kingdom_6_reinforcements_c", 0, 0, fac_commoners, 0, [(trp_canon,20,40),(trp_rhodok_sergeant,30,60),(trp_rhodok_sharpshooter,30,60)]),
change each troop to your news and remember to build module once you have made a new troop before putting it in module_party_templates

I used this codes and added new faction but ı cant recruit soliders new faction's village

 

[dunde]

Something 's missing :
(faction_set_slot,  "fac_culture_6",  slot_faction_tier_1_troop, <trp_first_tier_of_new_culture>),
and the troop tree.
