Modding Q&A [For Quick Questions and Answers]

Put the (store_script_param_1) in the beginning, maybe?

Why some codes are using the condition operations like 1=1 or 0=1 ? for ex;

("start_mod",[(eq,1,1),],"Quick Character (for mod testing)",
      [
          (troop_set_type,"trp_player",0),
          (assign,"$character_gender",tf_male),
        (troop_raise_attribute, "trp_player",ca_intelligence,-4),       
          (change_screen_return, 0),
      ]
  ),

It's a quick way of disabling a block of code without deleting it or commenting it out.

Hey does anyone know why my dialog isnt working? 

[trp_zarbon,"zarbon_5a7", [], "Who told you that?! Only me and a few of the troops escaping Ela by ship where there to see Prince Ariel and his home go down.\
  B-but how can that be?! I was the only survivor in that ship!\
  Oh what am I saying?! Maybe- Ugh! You've wasted enough of time! Please leave me alone.", "close_window", [(assign, "$zarbon_confused_about_player", 1)]],

  [trp_zarbon|plyr,"zarbon_4", [], "It was nothing, really.", "close_window", [(assign, "$wasted_zarbons_time", 1)]],
  [trp_zarbon,"start", [(eq, "$wasted_zarbons_time", 1)], "Please do not waste anymore of my time. My mission demands my full concentration.", "close_window", []],

  [trp_zarbon,"start", [(eq, "$zarbon_confused_about_player", 1)], "Oh...It's you again...", "close_window", [(remove_troop_from_site, "trp_zarbon", "scn_town_1_center")]],

I made a some dialogs. after some of the dialog options it assigns a global variable a value. but my problem is ingame it does not use the bottom dialog in red with the conditions. there is 2 closing dialogs, each assigns a global variable but if I try talking to Zarbon again he doesnt use the 2 starting conditioned dialogs ment for the variable that was just assigned moments ago. how do i fix this?

That was it. 
I'm an idiot. The error message doesn't appear anymore.

Put those starting dialogs on top of the whole dialog.

Anybody knows solution?

Hello

(agent_get_wielded_item, <destination>, <agent_id>, <hand_no>),

I can get agent's bow in right hand with this code.
(agent_get_wielded_item, ":a_bow", ":agent", 0),

But I couldn't get agent's left hand when he uses arrow with this code.
(agent_get_wielded_item, ":an_arrow", ":agent", 1),

Where is my mistake? 

 

[erennuman_mb]

Wait, aren't bows supposed to be in the left hand?

 

[Tüfekçi Başı]

Yes.

But problem is  same.

 

[Ikaguia]

you could try running trought the agents equiped items and use the first non-empty arrow that you find, or maybe the last one, I'm not sure which does WB use

Does anyone know how to define animations for itcf/itp tags in module items py? Im trying to make a rifle with its own custom running anims and stuff. But I dont see where itcf/itp tags define what anims it uses. I checked in header items it doesnt seem to reference anything. Anybody know how to do this? I searched for tutorials but i cant find one. please help me

Can't be done. They're hardcoded so the existing item types are the only ones that can be added.

Hey guys! Anyone wanna share with me how I can get a dialogue going between two npcs, wherein one npc says something then the other and so on.  Here's what I've tried, needless to say it doesn't work.

[trp_npc7,"start", [(eq,"$talk_context", tc_compdialog),(eq, "$rezien", 1),], "x","rezien1-1",[(assign, "$rezien", 2),]],
 [trp_npc10,"rezien1-1", [], "y", "rezien1-2",[]],
 [trp_npc7,"rezien1-2", [], "z", "rezien1-3",[]],
 [trp_npc10,"rezien1-3", [], "x", "rezien1-4",[]], ....

Any input is appreciated!

 

[Somebody]

Use anyone|other(trp_npc10) instead of trp_npc10 from a dialogue that's started by trp_npc7.
You also need to make sure both troops are visitors in the current scene, and that other conversation globals you take for granted (like $g_talk_troop) are set properly.

Thanks a million! Works like a charm.

Hi everyone!

In multiplayer I know you can define the game time length easy enough from the existing UI

However is there a way to increase the duration before the bots spawn? At present I think its 20 seconds and I would like to increase it to say 1 minute.

It always feels a mad rush to choose the gear you want before the bots spawn.. else you either don't get to command the bots.. or mis-click the weapons or armor you wanted.

Any help greatly appreciated

Where is my mistake? 

[quote author=header_operations.py]
Retrieves the item reference that the agent is currently wielding in his right hand (hand_no = 0) or left hand (hand_no = 1). Note that weapons are always wielded in right hand, and shield in left hand. When wielding a two-handed weapon (including bows and crossbows), this operation will return -1 for left hand.

You should start using that ASAP, it would have answered your question before you even encountered the problem. Get W.R.E.C.K too if you're not already using it (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,325102.0.html).

New complaint from player:

Hides to cities the value was 320 and it went to 200 after several  hides

Is there a way I can decrease the amount each additional trade item depresses the market value at a town market?
It's always been a problem in Brytenwalda. I would like a system where it only decreased about 4-5% max with each item.

This is handled in the scripts
"game_get_item_buy_price_factor"
and "game_get_item_sell_price_factor"
as well as "get_trade_penalty"

 

[gdwitt]

Thank you for pointing that out.
I don't see anything in the scripts that shows the increment that changes price for each consecutive buy or sell.
I am able to modify the penalty_factor to make things less difficult on the players.
("game_get_item_sell_price_factor",

But is the increment of 6-8% for consecutive transactions just part of the game engine?
I think I see an increment in game_event_buy_item

But I don't see this script being called anywhere except for buying cattle. Does this script change the increment?
