Modding Q&A [For Quick Questions and Answers]

[cwr]

For tournaments, which place does the player spawn at?

And if it is random, how can I grab the player's spawn from the code during set_items_for_tournament?

I have a quick question guys. Is there a limitation of Warband that would prevent a multiplayer "co-op" mode? I took a 2 year break from warband modding..


Basically:
- User picks his armor as normal on multiplayer
- User picks his warriors (bots)
- In battle user can give orders to his warriors as in single player battle

You can qlready kind of do it in native, just can't select troops

If only we could get a coop campaign map mode (like single player, just with 2 or more players), good god me and my friend would waste too many hours if that was possible

Noob question. Under which file do I edit which lord owns which castle ?

Module_scripts.py

Helpful, now to figure out where to add towns and such lol

How the play_bink_video works ?

I couldn't make it what i had done.

(play_bink_video, "@modules/project/bink_files/first_video_to_scenario.bik"),

is there anyone knows how to do that ?

 

[The_dragon]

play_bink_file                = 3025 #(play_bink_file, <path_from_module_directory>, [<duration_in_ms>]),

"<path_from_module_directory>" - your path needs to be relative to the module folder, not to modules folder.

(play_bink_video, "@bink_files/first_video_to_scenario.bik"),

Helpful, now to figure out where to add towns and such lol

(call_script, "script_give_center_to_faction_aux", "p_town_1", "fac_kingdom_4"),

(call_script, "script_give_center_to_lord", "p_town_1",  "trp_kingdom_4_lord", 0),

What do you mean?
I don't mind even hardcoding it at the beginning, creating the "menu" to choose troops shouldn't be that hard.
I guess what I'm wondering is, how do you assign bots to a player in MultiPlayer mode?

I think I'll start with a single player invasion-like mode/quick battle.
Any pointers to creating a "custom battle"? Like when someone made the battle of thermopylae mod.

I'm trying to take city and lord of tavernkeeper who I talked.
But I can't take both. I can take only one. Other misses.

(troop_get_slot, "$city_of_tavernkeeper", "$g_talk_troop", slot_troop_cur_center),

(party_get_slot, "$lord_of_city_of_tavernkeeper", "$current_town", slot_town_lord),

I couldn't understand the problem.

I 'm wondering if it is possible to  get the amount of a specific agent in a party for instance p_main_party?

If you are talking to a tavernkeeper, you are likely already in a town, so just use $current_town

agent_get_troop_id, then party_count_members/companions/prisoners_of_type

 

[Tüfekçi Başı]

Yes I know.

1) My hero goes a random city tavern. He talks a special dialog. This dialog takes town's party (p_town_x) and town's lord (trp_y).

2)After,  hero goes p_town_x. Talks its people. There will be a new dialog with trp_y if he talks more than 20 people.

there`s a script I think, called sth like multiplayer_find_commander

Those are the scripts for assigning ownership dude, not ADDING towns.  To clarify, i mean adding brand new towns, castles, villages, bandit lairs etc, to the map itself, while i still needed those scripts, thats only part of what i need. so much coding to go through

Yes of course!
I did it. I spent two days! Thanks.

Hi again,
I added the ships look like patrols but ships spawn at land not sea look like.

Spoiler

Changes in module systems look like:
module_scrips create_kingdom_party_if_below_limit

(eq, ":party_type", spt_ship),
        (try_begin),
          (eq, ":num_towns", 0),
          (assign, ":party_count_limit", 1),
        (else_try),
          (eq, ":num_towns", 1),
          (assign, ":party_count_limit", 4),
        (else_try),
          (eq, ":num_towns", 2),
          (assign, ":party_count_limit", 7),
        (else_try),
          (assign, ":party_count_limit", 12),
        (try_end),

module_scrips cf_create_kingdom_party

(else_try),
        (eq, ":party_type", spt_ship),
        (assign, ":party_template", "pt_ships"),

and

(eq, ":party_type", spt_ship),
##          (party_add_template, ":result", ":reinforcements_a"),
          (party_add_template, ":result", ":reinforcements_c"),
  (party_add_template, ":result", ":reinforcements_a"),
  (party_add_template, ":result", ":reinforcements_b"),
  (party_add_template, ":result", ":reinforcements_a"),
        (else_try),

party_templates

  ("ships","Scouts",icon_ship|pf_is_ship|carries_goods(1)|pf_show_faction,0,fac_commoners,soldier_personality,[]),

module_trisggers Kingdom Parties

(try_begin),
      (store_random_in_range, ":random_no", 0, 100),
      (lt, ":random_no", 10),
        (call_script, "script_create_kingdom_party_if_below_limit", ":cur_kingdom", spt_ship),
      (try_end),

How can I solved this problem??

They don't just magically spawn in water, you have to make them.

@frozenpainter Take a look at that tutorial TR http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=233395.0 | EN http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,136095.msg3275277.html#msg3275277

Edit: And this codes may be useful for what you want

        (assign, "$g_player_icon_state", pis_ship),
        (party_set_flags, "p_main_party", pf_is_ship, 1),
        (party_get_position, pos1, "p_main_party"),
        (map_get_water_position_around_position, pos2, pos1, 6),
        (party_set_position, "p_main_party", pos2),
        (assign, "$g_main_ship_party", -1),
        (change_screen_return),

More noob questions!

1. How do I make renown greater factor in increasing your character's party size?
- Same with leadership
2. How do I make it so fiefs / villages are siegable no matter what (Doesn't require negative faction relation)
