Modding Q&A [For Quick Questions and Answers]

There are commands to do all of that, namely troop_set_name/troop_set_plural_name and troop_add_items/troop_remove_items.

Changes to troop inventories aren't stored in saved games, though. I don't know about changes to names.

Re-equipping troops is easy, the problem is that the inventory won't save unless you check the module.ini option to make regular troops save their inventory as well. Most mods use heroes as chest troops from which stuff can added/removed as inventory pools.

So, I'm trying to make a specific track play while the play goes through the backstory menu, but only the first two seconds of the song plays, then it fades out and reverts back to the main menu song.

Code:

  ("start_game_0",menu_text_color(0xFF000000)|mnf_disable_all_keys,
    "Welcome, Adventurer, to the Myth of a Legacy Mod for Mount&Blade: Warband.",
  "none",
    [],
    [
     ("continue",[],"Continue...",
       [(jump_to_menu, "mnu_start_game_1"),
	    (stop_all_sounds, 1),  
	   (play_track, "track_a_horrible_past", 2),
        ]
       ),
      ("go_back",[],"Go back",
       [
         (change_screen_quit),
       ]),
    ]
  ),

Music:

  ("mount_and_blade_title_screen", "Sovereign.ogg", mtf_module_track|mtf_sit_main_title|mtf_start_immediately, 0),

  ("a_horrible_past", "a_horrible_past.ogg", mtf_module_track, 0),

There are no errors on compiling.

Why is this happening?

Alright. I've got a new computer. Pythons and everything is good. Only thing is its compiling in my modules folder

My path is good. I'm using the latest diplomacy source. I tried running it as an admin, didn't work. Anybody know whats going on?

 

[cmpxchg8b]

Forgot the trailing backslash in the path?

 

[Cunobelin]

I'll try but I don't think so. I've already double checked it. I'll try moving it to my desktop, that might work.

Edit: Thanks. El Stupido (me) actually made one of the most textbook errors. Its been to long since I've had to set up my path directory.

Hello lads, Christmas question. I'm working on server-side trigger that calls ascript. Everything works fine, but i can't figure out whether this is possible or not.

Here is my code: when dropping an ammobox, it calls that script, which spawns a scene prop usable by a player. The only thing is that i'd like to make that item disappear from the ground, since as of now people are able to spawn infinite ammoboxes.  I tried using (agent_unequip_item, ":agent_no", "itm_ammobox"), or (agent_set_wielded_item, ":agent_no", -1), before calling that script, yet it didn't work. Apparently, the item isn't considered anymore to be assigned to that player. So, is there a way for making that item disappear from the ground?

multiplayer_server_on_item_dropped = (
  ti_on_item_dropped, 0, 0, [(this_or_next|multiplayer_is_server),(neg|game_in_multiplayer_mode)],
  [
    (store_trigger_param_2, ":item_id"),
	
	(try_begin),
	 (store_trigger_param_1,":agent_no"),
	 (agent_unequip_item, ":agent_no", "itm_ammobox"),
	 (eq, ":item_id", "itm_ammobox"),
	 (call_script,"script_multiplayer_server_drop_ammobox", ":agent_no"),
	(try_end),

 

[Lumos]

I've not experimented with ti_on_item_dropped before, but the third trigger param seems to contain the prop instance of the dropped item. You could try moving that underground.

 

[DanyEle]

Thank you very much! Got it working

multiplayer_server_on_item_dropped = (
  ti_on_item_dropped, 0, 0, [(this_or_next|multiplayer_is_server),(neg|game_in_multiplayer_mode)],
  [
    (store_trigger_param_2, ":item_id"),
	
	(try_begin),
	 (store_trigger_param_1,":agent_no"),
	# (agent_unequip_item, ":agent_no", "itm_ammobox"),
	 (eq, ":item_id", "itm_ammobox"),
	 (agent_set_wielded_item, ":agent_no", -1),
	(call_script,"script_multiplayer_server_drop_ammobox", ":agent_no"),
	  (store_trigger_param_3, ":dropped_prop"),
      (prop_instance_get_position, pos25, ":dropped_prop"),
	  (position_move_y, pos25,-500),
	  (prop_instance_set_position,":dropped_prop",pos25),
	  (scene_prop_set_prune_time, ":dropped_prop", 0), # suddenly
	(try_end),

Anyone?

Did you try using a Sound instead of a piece of music?

 

[Somebody]

Thank you very much! Got it working

Simpler way is to just append itp_no_pick_up_from_ground?

And this, ladies and gentlemen, shows how much exactly I know about things.

It still doesn't cancel the main menu track, even when I use (stop_all_sounds, 1).

Thats weird... have you tried using this code instead:

mtf_persist_until_finished

 

[cwr]

The problem with that is after the "a horrible past" song, I want it to play a different song once you click through all the menus and go into the battle. I'll try it, though, and see how it works out.

Edit: It works out ok, the next song plays directly after. It's good enough for a temporary fix.

 

[Mr. Gloom]

How can I make a new character show up in the game's Characters list (you know where all the lords and companions you got are)?

 

[cwr]

(troop_set_note_available, "trp_your_new_npc", 1), At the end of script_game_start.

 

[Mr. Gloom]

Thanks.

Also, how do I make lords wear their armor indoors?

 

[Somebody]

Examine the mission template for the courts - it involves af_castle_lord, which is a concatenation including af_require_civilian, which filters out armor that don't have itp_civilian.
