This is my second tutorial after "Creating new SP/parties" - http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,53192.0.html.
We will start from really simple quest called "Relic". Let's start!
1. First open module_troops.py and add anywhere this line:
Let's analyse:
"antler" - is an ID name of troop. It won't be showed in game, since it's used only as a reference in other files.
Antler - is a name of troop. It will be showed in game.
Antler - plural name of troop. Not used for heroes, useful for single troops.
tf_hero - without that part of code, troop isn't hero. So yes, this is only for heroes.
scn_town_4_tavern - the scene where the hero will appear. If you want to change it, check module_parties.py for town list and then module_scenes.py for scene list.
entry(3) - entry point of troop in scene. You need to manually add it in edit-mode.
reserved - nothing interesting.
fac_commoners - the faction of troop. If you want to change it, check module_factions.py.
[itm_nomad_armor,itm_nomad_boots] - inventory of troop. You can add your own, just remember that you need to check module_items.py and add phrase "itm" before each item.
def_attrib - troop attributes.
level(2) - simply, level of troop.
wp(20) - number of weapon proficiences.
knows_common - skills of troop. You can add for example "knows_riding_2|knows_power_strike_4" etc.
0x00000000000430c701ea98836781647f - face code of troop. You can generate face code in in-game edit mode.
2. Let's add another troop:
Note that this hero have new faction "order_of_night". And other troop:
There is something to explain. For example "tf_guarantee_armor" - troop will always wear armor, "tf_guarantee_horse" - soldier will always be mounted etc.
3. Now let's go to module_factions.py and paste this line:
And as always - analyse!
order_of_night - ID of faction.
Order of Night - name of faction showing in-game.
0.5 - relations between members of this faction.
"player_faction",-1.0 - relations between another factions. In our example, the Order of Night will hate player.
4. Let's move to the biggest part of tutorial - module_dialogs.py. Under ramun_the_slave_trader dialogs paste those huge lines:
I am sorry, that I didn't explained anything here, but in the afternoon (now I am very busy) I'll add explanations. And excuse me, my language is not perfect, since I am 13 years old.
5. Now let's add the new item "relic". Open module_items.py and add following line:
You can add any item replacing "relic", but the best one is a book:
relic - ID name of item. Used as a reference in other .py files.
St. Grunwalder - name of item showing in game.
book_e - item mesh. Check the Native resources.
itp_type_book - type of item. In our example it's a book.
10000 - price of item in shops (in denars).
weight(2) - defines the weight of the item in kilogrammes.
abundance(100) - this stat governs how often the item will appear in merchant inventories and combat loot. 100 is standard; can be more or less than 100 (down to 0).
imodbits_none - item imodbits (for example cracked, bent etc.), not used for books.
6. And end of our tutorial. Paste those lines into the bottom of module_quests.py:
Build module, run game and walkthrought for you:
1. Go to Suno tavern.
2. Get a quest from Antler.
3. Raise a quite big army.
4. Patrol the terrains around Veidar.
5. Fight with Order of Night.
6. Persuade Thyr to get a relic.
7. Go back to Antler.
And that's everything! Yes, my language is poor, but I'll try to improve it and add polished version of tutorial.
Thanks for reading,
