Modding Q&A [For Quick Questions and Answers]

[orangeknite1]

Go in edit mode, grab some ethnically appropriate facecodes, paste them in module_troops.

Would I have to put it next to each one or is it possible to apply it to everyone? Also how can i get it so they have a black body, because i was looking through the Body textures and I couldnt find any for Black people.

 

[Somebody]

The proper term is Vertex-Shadered people. You need at least one pair of face code to apply them to troops, unless you're defining a new entry in module_skins. Search before you post.

speaking of which, i couldnt manage to convert that hex value to an rgb value. wth is the deal?

 

[Somebody]

It's applied to the base body mesh (which is already flesh coloured). Experiment with various values in OpenBRF via Color Uniform I guess.

 

[Harry_]

that's not what i mean. I mean, there's obviously 4 values in it. Is the last one alpha?

 

[Somebody]

ff is the default alpha for skin tones.

 

[Harry_]

ah so its 0xARGB

 

[Coal Field]

celestial, slot_troop_spouse for married ladies should be set to their husbands, otherwise, they will be considered as unmarried.

Thank you! I didn't realize I had the values reversed. That was the problem. I appreciate it

Seems the new version of Diplomacy messed up my family relations. Could anyone tell me what to do to make it work again?

 

[sirwho]

Hello, I have a question about animation replacing:

1. I have created an animation for "crossbow_cstance", basically the standing with crossbow drawn animation.
2. I have replaced the original "crossbow_cstance" animation in CommonRes with this new one and looked at it in game. It worked perfectly.

Now I don't actually want to replace the CommonRes files, I want the animation to be mod related. So I:
1. created a new brf file with my new animation. And named my new animation to be identical to the one I want to replace ("crossbow_cstance").
2. added the new brf to module.ini load resources.

to my knowledge this should replace the original animation with my new animation. But this didn't work. So I tried a new idea:
1. renamed my new animation "crossbow_cstance_edited".
2. changed the name of the animation in my "module_animations.py" to the new name.

 ["stand_crossbowf", 0, amf_client_prediction,
   [2.0, "crossbow_cstance_edited", 0, 60, arf_use_stand_progress|arf_cyclic, 0, (0, 0, 0), 0.0],  
 ],

3. Built the mod.

Now characters dissapear when using the new animation.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

EDIT: I think I've solved the problem. My animation had no frames! I don't know why it worked when replacing the original file. I've changed the animation to have the same number of frames as the original and now its working just fine.

New question!

So I discovered the add_companion_party in the header_operations file. What I want to do is place a standard bearer in the lord parties of four factions. I need a check to see if they currently have a standard bearer, then if they don't, to add one. I want the standard bearer to act as a "hero" and "companion" to the lords. This prevents me from having to add them into the party templates and having several bearers per party.

Would anyone know how to write a script for that? This is sort of what I had in mind

Spoiler

I declared in the

module_constants
slot_party_standard_bearer

standard_bearers_begin = "trp_american_standard_bearer"
standard_bearers_end = "trp_pirate_flag_bearer"

kingdom_1_lords_begin = "trp_knight_1_1"
kingdom_1_lords_end "trp_knight_2_1"

Now, in module_scripts,

(try_for_range, ":troop_no", kingdom_1_lords_begin, kingdom_1_lords_end),
    (troop_slot_ge , "trp_american_standard_bearer", slot_party_standard_bearer, 0)
            (add_companion_party, "trp_american_standard_bearer")
(try_end)

I have a grave feeling this is completely incorrect syntax. Any help?

Thanks again in advance.

Your feeling is quite correct.

In order to do this without any scripting, you could simply add a standard bearer to the reinforcement party templates of those factions and ensure they each have such a troop...but if your concern is that the party has a standard bearer at all times, that won't do as they could die or end up with multiple bearers after a few reinforcements, so scripting would likely be best.

You'll want to loop through all parties, not through a range of troops:
(try_for_parties, ":party_no"),

will get you started there. If you are talking lord's parties in the field, you want to be sure that
(party_slot_eq, ":party_no", slot_party_type, spt_kingdom_hero_party),

Then, you'll want to check if that party has the troop you want. For that, you'll need to loop through the party's troop stacks. For that, you'll need:
(party_get_num_companion_stacks, ":num_stacks", ":party_no"),
(try_for_range, ":stack", 0, ":num_stacks"),
    (party_stack_get_troop_id, ":troop", ":party_no", ":stack"),

and that should get you started looping through the troops a party actually has. Check for equality with the appropriate standard bearer (likely the best way to do this would be to store the relevant standard bearer's troop ID in a faction slot and then retrieve it via (store_faction_of_party) and (faction_get_slot). So you won't need your _begin, _end looping ranges, at least not for this. See scripts and the use of slots like slot_faction_tier_1_troop for more ideas here.

Finally, the command to add your troop is
(party_add_members,<party_id>,<troop_id>,<number>),
though you might want to use (party_force_add_members,<party_id>,<troop_id>,<number>),
in case the lord is at his party member limit

Thank you Caba'drin! I'm going to attempt this and see if I can get it to work. I really appreciate it, thank you.

Where could I find what makes the game load up pic_looter etc into the game and how could I add more or differentones for the different parties that I have got roaming about.

You'll find that in game_menus, specifically the menu "simple_encounter".

The files themselves are declared in module_meshes.

To add new ones, you'd need to create a .dds texture and assign it to a 2D mesh in a .brf, then load that .brf resource in module.ini and declare the mesh in module_meshes

Keep in mind that the hero troop entity shares health globally - one standard bearer hero will always have the same health as another of the same faction. If you used them as regular troops instead and want a head count, try using party_count_companions_of_type (not sure of performance). You can also loop over all kingdom heroes and fetch slot_troop_leaded_party instead of iterating over all the parties, if it makes any difference.

Thanks for that. Now I know what to do.

Is there a way that if a faction wants to go to war, they have to declare war first??
and is there a way to put "war goals" in game, so before a Faction declares war they have to choose a war goal first, like, "Annexation, turn to vassal state, ect"

Oh yes and appointing a Defence minister (to declare war, you have to talk to the him", Finance minister, ect...

Thanks "I could really use the help"
