Greetings experts!
I'm creating a native compatible, server side mod.
There's a slight mystery which you guys might be able to help with.
I would need to change a player's name corresponding to the situation.
When a player hits TAB to see the stats_chart, it lists the names of players. Instead of showing my name as "CCC_Muzzle", i would need it to show "*SLEEPING* CCC_Muzzle" for example.
I couldn't yet find any clues on how the clients receive this information. Player names have to come from server tho..
Does anyone know how and where are player names stored?

Code:
str_store_player_username = 2350 # (str_store_player_username, <string_register>, <player_id>),
# Stores player's multiplayer username in referenced string register. Can be used in multiplayer mode only.Did you try that operation? Use concatenation of registers to form that special name
Code:
(str_store_player_username, s0, ":player_id"),# you need to get the ID first
(str_store_string, s0, "@(Sleeping) {s0}"),If that fails you will need to use the send message operations. As I don't usually play with MP code (or MP at all lol), I will stop here

As far as I know, you can't change players names in just a server sided mod. You'd at least need a client event to change it, too, and I think you'd also need WSE as native doesn't have an operation to set the player name (?).
@Muzzle C open module_presentations and search for 'str_store_player_username'. Look where it is used and modify the string register which stores the player's name.
I gave an item through dialogues using troop_add_item. It appeared in my inventory with the descriptor, "cracked". Checked items.py and saw that the item had imodbits_none.
imodbits_none is set to 0.
What could have made this item, "cracked"?
imodbits_none is set to 0.

imodbits are the "possible" imods of the item. You need to check the "imod".
imod_plain = 0
imodbit_plain = 1
See the difference?
Code:
troop_add_item = 1530 # (troop_add_item, <troop_id>, <item_id>, [modifier]),
# Adds an item to the troop, optionally with a modifier (see imod_* constants in header_item_modifiers.py).
Code:
troop_get_inventory_slot_modifier = 1542 # (troop_get_inventory_slot_modifier, <destination>, <troop_id>, <inventory_slot_no>),
# Retrieves the modifier value (see imod_* constants in header_items.py) for an item in the specified equipment or inventory slot. Returns 0 when there's nothing there, or if item does not have any modifiers.Got it.. did not understand what [modifier] meant in troop_add_item. I thought it meant how many of the specific item I would give.
Thanks.
Thanks.
When you open a text file, you'll see that it most definitely doesn't contain anything of the sorts. Therefore, it's in a python file.
Furthermore, you can use stuff like Notepad++'s "Find in Files" command and see that the script is in - how exciting! - module_scripts.
To find out which fields mean what, look at the large comment section round the top of each module_* file. There's a guide there as to what each block is for.

Ok, it works! Now I will just do a pair of adjustments to make sure large parties spawn less than medium and normal ones! So, I wanted to make noble troop tree too, so I attempted this
and then this
I tought that the best way to recruit nobles was the one used in PoP, so I wanted that your chancellor or whatever will give you a noble recruit of your culture, but I'm missing something....
Also, how can I make a special "kingdom_reinforcement" in order to give some lords and to the rulers household troops?
(faction_set_slot, "fac_culture_1", slot_faction_tier_5_noble, "trp_swadian_nobleman"),
(faction_set_slot, "fac_culture_1", slot_faction_tier_6_troop, "trp_swadian_nobleman"),

Guys, thanks for quick reply.
This doesn't actually change the player name in anyway, does it?
As i see, it only stores the "@(Sleeping) {s0}"), in a strings.. Not replacing any existing name.
If i understand the module system right, all the presentations are ran on client side.. right?
Therefore changing anything in there wouldn't be applied to clients.. Correct me if i understand wrong.
Sigh, always these problems with serverside mods.. But gotta say this community is awesome. You guys help right away.

For me this makes the most sense. WSE has this option player_set_username. I need to apply WSE and investigate if it's possible to set it on serverside or not..Namakan said:

How can I store multiple variables in random_in_range?
For example I have this: (particle_system_burst, "psys_lanse", pos1, 3), #Default = 10 (Higher = Bigger Particles)
I want that particle_system_burst to have a random chance of choosing between psys_lanse, psys_effect, psys_fire, and psys_water. (Not the number in the end, the actual name of the particle).
How can I achieve this?

Get a random number between 0 and 3. If the number is 0, then ":chosen_particle_system" = "psys_lanse"; else if random number is 1, then ":chosen_particle_system" = "psys_effect" else...... and so on. Then call (particle_system_burst, ":chosen_particle_system", pos1, 3)
