Modding Q&A [For Quick Questions and Answers]

[Shredzorz]

Have you tried using agent_set_no_dynamics and agent_set_look_target_agent? Both might only work on bots though.

Just tried those and neither worked.

 

[Bayard-X]

You need to add them to the merchandise types to be added to weaponsmiths.

Worked with minor modification.

Have you tried (player_control_agent, ":player", -1),? Did you include acf_lock_camera in your animation?

acf_lock_camera seems to have no effect, and (player_control_agent, ":player", -1) just gave me errors.

Oh well. It's not the end of the world or anything, it just looks a little silly.

When i run the .bat file to implicate my modifications into my mod i get a bunch of syntax errors relating to the "module_strings.py" file. So far i haven't done anything to the mod, because i have been trying to get that to work. Any ideas on how to fix it?

 

[Achilla]

After editing troops in Python, their attributes (STR, AGI etc.) and skills after compiling, will vary in-game from what is actually defined in their attributes, skills & constants. The same problem seems to hold with .txt editing as well, and it sort-of defeats any attempt to balance the troops with necessary precision. So, how do I make sure any kind of random attribute/skill generation is gone, as well as faction-based bonuses (I was given impression some do exist?)? I'm speaking of Warband, just in case.

Long story short, I'm tired of Swadian Man-At-Arms which should land with riding skill of 4 and not 5, Swadian Knight with power strike of 6 and not 5, Nord troops getting random STR bonuses and similar nonsense which I can't even remotely control.

 

[Somebody]

It has to do with level and skill redistribution which occurs with every new game. There's even a formula floating around somewhere - basically either reduce the level or crank up useless stats like charisma (haven't bothered testing it).

 

[Jock]

Post your .ini and your material settings. 

And yikes, someone needs to clean up that Wiki page.

[ladanyi]

read below.. I re-read your first post. 

 

[ladanyi]

also,

I just re-read your post and noticed that your placing "load_mod_resource=" and telling it to search for the actual mesh and or texture. You cant do that. You need to list your "resources" BRF file. what ever it may be called.

here is an example from my mod I am working on. Ini load resources list like this.

Spoiler

load_mod_resource = native_unleashed_guns
load_mod_resource = native_unleashed_horses

If I am misunderstanding you then I am sorry. 

Also check to make sure that the texture in question is asigned to an ectual "MESH,Model" If it is not then you will get an error on compile.

I'm willing to bet the 1 tex is the shield_2_texture. Copy that twice, rename one to shield_2_normal and one to shield_2_specular. And make sure all three .ddses of shield_2 are in your textures folder.

Wait wut? I must rename the shield_2_texture in the "tex(1)" to shield_2_normal? And I had 3 dds files of shield_2 in my textures folder.

 

[FrisianDude]

Copy it twice in the textures tab. You need an entry for shield_2_texture, one for shield_2_normal, and one for shield_2_specular.  They're all called in the material entry so they have to have a texture-tab entry.

 

[The Shadow]

What he's saying is import all the textures.  In the material you're using three, but in the textures tab, you only have one.

Hey! Is it possible to have companions follow you around in non-combat scenes?

 

[Jock]

Hey! Is it possible to have companions follow you around in non-combat scenes?

Yes it's possible, it was done in 1866, ask them.

 

[ithilienranger]

The bodyguard script has code to do that too. I think there is an operation for an agent to follow another agent.

 

[Somebody]

No, there isn't. You need to either make a trigger to set the agent's scripted destination to the player's location, or set the agent as the team leader and give the order to follow.
