MP Tutorial Module System Adding a new multiplayer faction tutorial

[Meneldur]

Nice its for ver.1.34 right? Heard rumors there are issues with bot-spawning! I will hopefully have a soon release with my monster-factions and more the 3 bot types for some of them!

 

[Lackay]

So do i go to, mount&blade warband > modules, then i edit in their? or go to native then edit in there?

 

[mr.master]

Check how to setup a module and setting up python for mb.

Hey

After working on this for several hours I've gotten it all to work.

I have made a copy of the kindom_banner dds and modified the first two (being nord and vaegir), copied all flags/banners from the respective files (most are easy to find, but 'flag_vaegir' and the like (needed for the siege flag (spr_headquarters_flag_vaegir) for example) are in village_houses_a.brf (wut? yeah right, village_houses_a, no idea why though. Found them after finding out openBRF has a search function  ) and the flag_project_vg are as said in this topic in user_interface_b.brf, done all the script editing (and pointing to the new flags I made) and they work now. Even the kingdom_7 crashing (error about mesh=0) seems to have been solved. (I used suffix b where needed for this kingdom: ui_kingdom_shield_7b rather than ui_kingdom_shield_7) (My only issue with the kingdom_7 I still have is that they are all family members to the player in single player).

#MANARII_START
         (else_try),
           (eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_7"),
           (assign, "$team_1_flag_scene_prop", "spr_headquarters_flag_manaras"),
         (else_try),
           (eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_8"),
           (assign, "$team_1_flag_scene_prop", "spr_headquarters_flag_caneoria"),
#MANARII_END

Also, note for other players who want their own banners: copy the existing ones instead of exporting them as static will keep the set flags, and will keep them moving ingame (for the parties/lords on the map).

Hi Thunderwolf!

About the kingdom_flags I used simply kingdom_8 as the first custom one!
Seems to work more or less accurate. Kingdom_7 is blocked (in MP at least) as the faction/team_flag who is used only if two teams of same faction fight each other in MP.

Also, note for other players who want their own banners: copy the existing ones instead of exporting them as static will keep the set flags, and will keep them moving ingame (for the parties/lords on the map).

Eh what? did not understand that part.

Hi, I'm having a funny time trying to make a multiplayer_ai "infantry" class.

My new cavalry has tf_mounted and the new archers tf_guarantee_ranged, and they respond ok to command orders, but my infantry keeps thinking they're archers, even when armed only with a polearm.

Do I have to equip them with a shield and use tf_guarantee_shield? Or should I go "what the hell" and give them a bow too (the bastards!)?

 

[Somebody]

Post your troop entry. You should probably have tf_guarantee_all_wo_ranged as the troop flag.

 

[Sir Lacy]

, I have tf_guarantee_all and I see tf_guarantee_all includes tf_guarantee_ranged.

Gonna try, thanks for pointing, Somebody!

 

[Sir Lacy]

Is there any way to get rid of the "Faction eliminated" message in SP, "Your MP Faction is no more"?

 

[Somebody]

Use (faction_set_slot, "fac_whatever", slot_faction_state, sfs_inactive), at script_game_start.

 

[Sir Lacy]

Thank you, Somebody

[Balamber]

Jajaja yes I got a bad pc (Compaq Presario C700), the lag was fixed restarting the game.
But the units had no banner on his shields...any idea?
Thanks!

 

[mr.master]

Check your codes, as it should work if you have done it right.

 

[[BRE] Roudrac]

I have add a faction with the tutorial but i have a problem in Multiplayer:

Name of the faction is good...

Spoiler

... but not in score table.

Do you have an idea?

Hi guys, 
I tried to add a plate armor to the swadian infantry. It compiled without errors, but I couldn't see the armor when i joined my (dedicated) server - till I copied the .txt files to my Client, too.
So does this only work if you mod both, client and server? I want to use the Native Module only, because I don't want that other players have to download a new Module...
Any suggestions?

I think you may have forgotten this Mr.Master.

You can change CTF flags by editing this section here:

					(eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_1"),   
					(assign, "$team_1_flag_scene_prop", "spr_ctf_flag_red_team"),
				(else_try),
					(eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_2"),
					(assign, "$team_1_flag_scene_prop", "spr_ctf_flag_blue_team"

and here

					(eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_1"),   
					(assign, "$team_2_flag_scene_prop", "spr_ctf_flag_red_team"),
				(else_try),
					(eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_2"),
					(assign, "$team_2_flag_scene_prop", "spr_ctf_flag_blue_team"),

Inside determine_team_flags, which is in module_scripts

 

[mardam]

so when i try to patse it the whole document gets messed up and brakes can any one help?

Now, make sure the "fac_kingdom_7" is the number of your faction. You can change what flag will it use. Example, "spr_headquarters_flag_vaegir" could be changed to "spr_headquarters_flag_swadian" Now, if you scroll down, you will see the same codes, expect the "$team_1_flag_scene_prop" is now "$team_2_flag_scene_prop". Again, copy one of the lines, paste id under the last one and change it according to your faction.

(else_try),
         (team_get_faction, ":team_faction_no", 1),
         (try_begin),    
           (eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_1"),   
           (assign, "$team_2_flag_scene_prop", "spr_headquarters_flag_swadian"),
         (else_try),
           (eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_2"),
           (assign, "$team_2_flag_scene_prop", "spr_headquarters_flag_vaegir"),
         (else_try),
           (eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_3"),
           (assign, "$team_2_flag_scene_prop", "spr_headquarters_flag_khergit"),
         (else_try),
           (eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_4"),
           (assign, "$team_2_flag_scene_prop", "spr_headquarters_flag_nord"),
         (else_try),
           (eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_5"),
           (assign, "$team_2_flag_scene_prop", "spr_headquarters_flag_rhodok"),
         (else_try),
           (eq, ":team_faction_no", "fac_kingdom_6"),
           (assign, "$team_2_flag_scene_prop", "spr_headquarters_flag_sarranid"),
         (try_end),
