WB Coding How can I change the start year for a mod?

[Bisoso1893]

I got the source code from my favourite mod, I just put the folder of the source code in the module of the mod I wanted to edit, I alredy edited ":cur_year" in the "module_scripts.py" but in game the year I changed doesn't show, help please

#script_game_get_date_text:
  # This script is called from the game engine when the date needs to be displayed.
  # INPUT: arg1 = number of days passed since the beginning of the game
  # OUTPUT: result string = date
  ("game_get_date_text",
    [
      (store_script_param_2, ":num_hours"),
      (store_div, ":num_days", ":num_hours", 24),
      (store_add, ":cur_day", ":num_days", 23),
      (assign, ":cur_month", 3),
      (assign, ":cur_year", 1257),
      (assign, ":try_range", 99999),

It's not the current year, it is the point of origin to calculate the date.
If your saved game is older than 9 months in game time, it may display next year.

Mine is this but I want to change that 1543 to 1843

#script_game_get_date_text:
# This script is called from the game engine when the date needs to be displayed.
# INPUT: arg1 = number of days passed since the beginning of the game
# OUTPUT: result string = date
("game_get_date_text",
[
(store_script_param_1, ":version"),
(store_script_param_2, ":num_hours"),
(store_div, ":num_days", ":num_hours", 24),
(store_add, ":cur_day", ":num_days", 23),
(assign, ":cur_month", 1),
(assign, ":cur_year", 1543),
(assign, ":try_range", 99999),

So changing 1543 to 1843 don't make new games start at January 1843, does it? I see no problem in the code that is save game dependent other than passed time.

I changed it and it still shows "1543", I also clicked "build_module" but it shows that a .py file is missing

Merging two mods is a troublesome thing to do. You can check some tutorials.

Maybe mod merger could help, thanks bro

Mate maybe I'm kind of retarded or Idk, I tried modified the "module_info" to build the module that I want, I put using Notepad++ as it is:


export_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Mount and Blade Complete Collection/Mount and Blade - Warband\Modules/Anglo for my mod/"

using those forward slashes, but when I click "build_module" it shows that "*.pyc" is missing and cannot find the path, have you ever build a module ? I want to give it a solution but maybe could you help me building the module for me? please I'm gonna pay you if necessary but I really want this mod, if you interested tell me

Just in time mate, gonna invite you a yard, thanks

Also watch out for the slashes at your export direction, it should be

export_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Mount and Blade Complete Collection/Mount and Blade - Warband/Modules/Anglo for my mod/"

 

[Veledentella]

export_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Mount and Blade Complete Collection/Mount and Blade - Warband\Modules/Anglo for my mod/"

How can one succeed in merging stuff when they cannot set up a correct export directory? Do not answer, anyone, this rhetorical question.

There is one wrong slash in the path. If you, Bisoso1893, use Notepad++, you may use Ctrl + F to activate 'Search' menu. Then, choose 'Replace' function and select the pasted path of your directory copied from the program handling files, such as Windows Explorer. Check 'In selection' and specify what is to be replaced (in this case: \ to /). Apply the changes and you are done; it will save you lots of time while modding.
