Tried that, only showed the mesh Grunwalder, not the .1 and .2 part.

Map icons cannot multimesh

Actually, I have another question that may be common.

I took your advice and edited the banner selection to be race selection (thanks btw!!!). But I'm having trouble figuring out what I should use to detect the player's character so I can change the race.

Currently, I have

("race_longclaw", [

			(multiplayer_get_my_player, ":my_player_no"),
			(player_get_agent_id, ":player_agent", ":my_player_no"),
			
			(try_begin),
			(player_set_skin, ":player_agent", 2),
			(display_message,"@You_have_choosen_the_Long_Claw_race!"),
			(try_end),
         ]),

Which, I have a feeling is wrong, since it doesn't work. I get the debug message, but I get an error saying I used the wrong agent detector(not exact words, but I hope you get what I am saying.) Anyways, thanks for the help, and any more help would be greatly appreciated.

If the command is player_set_skin, then you should use ":my_player_no" player ID rather than the agent ID ":player_agent"

By the module system, the file is module_scripts, and the script is "game_get_date_text". Find the line:
(assign, ":cur_year", 1257),
and change as needed

By .txt editing, go to scripts.txt, find "game_get_date_text" and find the number 1257 on the line that follows. Change as needed.

edit - just noticed Somebody was in there with the ninja. heh.

I am a wannabe Warband modder and I would like some guidance on making new factions and adding new items

I have followed tutorials and worked out the rhythm of the module system and very roughly how to edit it. However, I do not understand how to add new factions and new items to the game (I.E new swords, armours that aren't in Native).

Could somebody please tell me how to do so, or point me to a good tutorial for modding Warband?

Thanks

See the stickied threads in the Unofficial Tutorials section (and the non-stickied threads for that matter). Both of those topics are covered for both singleplayer and multiplayer.

jik's updated module system documentation should take you through the process of adding an item for single player and this one should do for multiplayer.

For creating a faction, there's a single player tutorial and a multiplayer tutorial, both in the Unofficial Tutorials board that should suit your needs.

Thank you for the quick reply. They're good tutorials, thank you

Hi there! 
According quest making:
Is it possible for quest to start disregard player's actions? i.e. for example no conversations with NPCs, no entering to the cities, and so on.

What exact I'm going to do:
1st quest  starts with the new game, and cannot be finished by player - only time
2nd starts immediately when 1st is failed

Many thanks in advance!

How do you cancel a musket (not crossbow) reload? I've tried setting the defend action, the attack action, and setting the agent as running away - no luck.
This is in multiplayer.

Try setting an animation with higher priority than that of the reloading animation.

I'll try that. Doing some damage to the agent and immediately healing it works too, that could be a good fallback option.

Yes.
1. Start the quest at the end of script_game_start
2. Since you control when quest 1. is failed (you have to write code to fail the 1. quest), start 2. just after the code that fails quest 1.

You can also start quest 1. in a trigger, so it starts after X game hours, or any other condition, regardless of what the player is doing.

Just in case:
- How do you code quests? See any of the Native ones. They are in module_quests.py. Search all the module system files for their ID strings like "deliver_message_to_enemy_lord" and see how they are done.
Generally if you want to make a new quest, find the most similar Native quest, copy what it does, then modify as you please.
- How do you search for strings in module system files?
Have a good editor like Notepad++, then ctrl+F, and use Find in Files.

Is it possible to make the game save through a code? Alternatively, can I alter the mtf_battle mission template so that pressing Escape brings up the save game screen? (The default mission template doesn't allow idle horses to be killed, which is sort of important.)

Best currently possible is bringing up the 'escape' screen where you have the save, load, quit, etc options by calling: (change_screen_quit),
I think this has been requested of cmp for WSE, but I'm not sure...I know it isn't in yet.

I'm pretty sure that change_screen_quit exits you right out of the game, so I don't think that will work too well.
