Modding Q&A [For Quick Questions and Answers]

[Antonis]

Ah, thank you Lav(and frozenpainter). You're a lifesaver, I couldn't find it anywhere, I just thought I had a spelling error in the "oracle" part. It works as intended. 

 

[Lav]

Usually when compiler complains about some stuff, it helps to copy the text directly from compiler output and run text search with copied text.

 

[Antonis]

Thanks, didn't knew about that.

how can i give an item to multiplayer sections vaegir spearmen ? I've done giving necessary item to this troop,and also done these changes to module_scripts:

(call_script, "script_multiplayer_set_item_available_for_troop", "itm_ramcannon", "trp_vaegir_spearman_multiplayer"),

#artillery_ram
	  (item_set_slot, "itm_ramcannon", slot_item_multiplayer_item_class, multi_item_class_type_artillery_equipment),

but,when i tried in game,i couldnt select my new item.What is wrong here ?

 

[Ikaguia]

afaik the select item presentation doesn't support that new item class, or is from NW?

it is not from NW.

I've made a cannon system from Ibanez's codes. his codes are almost basic of system.Just, i wanna add to multiplayer for my mod.

Question, where do I change the loading text? For example; "Loading Textures". Tried several times to search it through the search function but ended up at a lot of other stuff that had little to do with it.

Saw it changed in Full Invasion II so I know it's possible. Now just wondering where I have to look to bring adjustments to it.

Thanks in advance,

ui.csv in your language files, it should be the following lines:

ui_loading_module_info_file|Loading Module Info File...
ui_processing_ini_file|Processing INI File...
ui_loading_music|Loading Music...
ui_loading_data|Loading Data...
ui_loading_setting_data|Loading Setting Data...
ui_loading_textures|Loading Textures...
ui_finished|Finished.

Brilliant!

Many thanks, I also figured now why some of the formation orders were bugged.

Q: How can I make unique faces for NPCs?
A: With edit mode enabled, go to your Character screen and click the Edit Face button. Play around with all the sliders and settings until you've got the face you're after. Now click Ctrl+E, and you'll notice a box/button pop up at the top right with a string of characters in it. Click this and it will copy the face code to the clipboard. In module_troops.py, simply paste in it in as the face code.

Where is this "face code"?

 

[Lav]

In module_troops.py.

There's an entire section at the beginning of the file detailing the structure of troop records. It's easy to see as it's Python comments (lines starting with '#').

 

[JamesThompson]

I'm doing text file editing.. not python

 

[Somebody]

Doesn't really matter, although orders for the other fields will be compiled differently, the facecode is still formatted the same.

 

[JamesThompson]

This is all that comes up for me.. this is the first person..

Just an example.. there isn't any comments..

 

[Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James]

You don't get comments in .txt files. Also trp_player and the other troops at the beginning of the list quite often have 0 as their facecode, making it hard to spot.

Try using morgh's editor; it's way easier to keep track of stuff, and human error doesn't usually cause catastrophic CTDs.

Hello. I am basically new to this forums, but through the guidance of multiple tutorials, I ended up here in order to try and figure out how to do modding for Mount & Blade Warband. In order to not waste anyone's time, I will get straight to the point:

I was following this guide --> http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,240255.0.html quite literally step for step. Did nothing that the guide didn't tell me to do. However, when I went in and activated the batch file to start the module, the following showed up in the command prompt:

I tried doing various searches for the part set marshall problem (since that seems to be the main issue in all the errors) but I couldn't find anything. I have no idea what I have done wrong so I was hoping that someone could provide me with some sort of insight as to how to fix this problem. Thank you very much for your time.

You've done everything right, it's not your fault. Someone who was working on Viking Conquest decided now was a good time to rename a single vital file called header_operations.py, and change the word marshall to marshal for no good reason. This is extremely frustrating because it broke a lot of stuff even outside of viking conquest, and due to weird compiling errors I didn't realise what was going on until I'd reinstalled the module system twice. 

If you're using notepad ++, search through all the files simultaneously and replace every instance of "party_set_marshall" with "party_set_marshal". It shouldn't take long as there aren't many of them.

But damn, what a pain in the butt.

 

[JamesThompson]

Thanks.

In morgh's editor there is "face code 1" and "face code 2".. I replace them both?

 

[Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James]

If the troop is a "hero" (a lord, merchant or any other troop that's only supposed to turn up once), then  you only change the top one (there are some exceptions, mostly ladies). For everyone else, the game chooses a random face between the two face codes. Bear in mind that the game's idea of "randomisation" is incredibly screwy and without setting a dummy "race" in module_skins.py, it'll mostly ignore your choices.
