Narrow it down, the more factions you have the slower your campaign AI will be.

is there a way to check if certain kind of troop is in garrison(by troop_id), that is defined in header_operation?
or do I have to write my own script?

 

[Somebody]

Garrison = the troop is a member of the center, which is just a static party.

so technically I can just use party_count_members_of_type to count number of the wanted troop in the garrison, if its greater than 1 I can be sure the desired troop is in garrison...

Is there a way to consistently keep two factions mutually on-side? For example they may go to war at some point, but in general they keep out of each others way.

Made a new starting city scene. When you get to the part of the starting merchant quest where you have to attack the looters inside the city, you get this error:

check you have all the entry points. if you changed nothing else then that's all i can imagine is the issue

Same entry points as the old one, is well weird.

Have you changed the mission template, cozur?

I used to use try_for_range, but then I switched to try_for_parties. Is there a better operation to use?

Bumping myself.

 

[Cozur]

Nope, not since the last time it worked.

 

[cwr]

Does it effect gameplay at all?

Not as far as I've been able to tell, just screws up the starting quest. But can just replace that with something else.

 

[Dusk Voyager]

Is there something abnormal in the scene (like weird props blocking the way or something) that makes the game miscalculate the distances?

Nope.

But added a different starting quest now. Thanks for the help guys, guess it's just one of those things.

Is there a way to remove the Merchant Quest from the game?

 

[Somebody]

Yes, jump to a different menu once character select is complete from mnu_start_phase_2

Hello, dear modders!

I sincerely need your help. I need help with editing a script. I am currently playing the wonderful and amazing mod Europe 1200, and i am on day 776, so i am far into the mod. I am king of all of Scandinavia, under the mighty Anglo-Scandinavian Empire (England is my next target), but, as i receive an increasing number of lords, i begin to notice a very bad pattern. Its impossible to satisfy all my lords, and they are all beginning to hate me when i assign my fiefs.

So i googled around for this and found that you could edit the script so your reputation wont deteroriate when assigning fiefs with other lords. More precisely, under the Give_center_to_lord script, i want to change the line
(val_clamp, ":relation_with_liege_change", -5, 3)

with

(try_begin),
(eq, ":faction_leader", "trp_player"),
(val_clamp, ":relation_with_liege_change", -5, 3), ##CHANGE THIS LINE HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE
and set the relation change to maybe 0, 3, as instructed in this link: h t t p ://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/75223/can-i-stop-my-lords-from-hating-me

So i spent many hours learning the modulesystem, and i went in the module_info.py and assigned the export thing to target the Europe 1200 module, and afterwards i went in the module_scripts.py and edited the line as seen above. Then i ran the module_build_bat or whatever its called, and it seemed to compile properly.
However, when i went in my save game and tried to assign a fief, my lords reputation still deteroriated, just like before. So what am i doing wrong?

I hope you can help me with this!
Best regards:
JoeofDK

Bumping myself.

Depends on what you're looping through, but to be honest, using try_for_parties is generally a worse option than try_for_range. Of course, try_for_parties is the only way you can loop through spawned parties, so if you're trying to give all bands of looters five more troops, try_for_parties would be the way to go.
If you're going to give a hndred more troops to every town instead, just use try_for_range, towns_begin, towns_end - far better than using try_for_parties, is_between, towns_begin, towns_end.
Of course, I could be quite wrong. I do think I'm right though.

what is the max length of a string register?

 

[cmpxchg8b]

There is no max length for string registers, but there is a max length (~16k characters) for strings that are drawn as messages or in presentation overlays.
