Modding VC: basic tutorials and Q&A thread

Users who are viewing this thread

I'm having a few issues with modding. I'm trying to make it so the my kingdom's center reinforcements are based off of my culture rather than the original faction's.

I have pretty much zero coding experience bar changing a few numbers.

("cf_reinforce_party",
    [
      (store_script_param_1, ":party_no"),
     
      (store_faction_of_party, ":party_faction", ":party_no"),
      (party_get_slot, ":party_type",":party_no", slot_party_type),
     
      #Rebellion changes begin:
      (try_begin),
        (eq, ":party_type", spt_kingdom_hero_party),
        (party_stack_get_troop_id, ":leader", ":party_no"),
        (troop_get_slot, ":party_faction",  ":leader", slot_troop_original_faction),
      (try_end),
      #Rebellion changes end
     
      (try_begin),
        (eq, ":party_no", "p_main_party"),
        (try_begin),
          (is_between, "$players_kingdom", npc_kingdoms_begin, npc_kingdoms_end),
          (assign, ":party_faction", "$players_kingdom"),
        (else_try),
          (assign, ":party_faction", "fac_player_supporters_faction"),
        (try_end),
       
      (else_try),
        (eq, ":party_faction", "fac_player_supporters_faction"),
        (is_between, ":party_no", walled_centers_begin, walled_centers_end),
        (party_get_slot, ":town_lord", ":party_no", slot_town_lord),
        (try_begin),
          (gt, ":town_lord", 0),
          (troop_get_slot, ":party_faction", ":town_lord", slot_troop_original_faction),
        (else_try),
          (party_get_slot, ":party_faction", ":party_no", slot_center_original_faction),
        (try_end),
      (try_end),

I think it is this part in scripts.py, could be wrong. Was wondering if someone could help. Thx
 
Download VC Tweaks Tool and you can find that tweak there (how and where to change)

You can then apply it to your own mod (even if you don’t want the tool)
 
I have the tweak tool and tried using that tweak for it, but wouldn't compile properly. Was thinking of using Slot_faction_culture, but not sure what other inputs to use.

Just to clarify by center reinforcements I meant the auto garisson you get, not recruits from villages/towns.
 
towns are static parties. Soldiers (garrison) are part of the town as stacks. The script used to add soldiers to a party is "script_cf_reinforce_party"

party#1
  stacks
  stack#1
    troop_id=XX, quantity=YY
  stack#2
  ....
 
I've found that it is possible to change it so that defected lords start recruiting troops from their new faction's culture and it works fine, until you as the player start your own faction. "script error on opcode", some lords not recruiting any units, some hero npc lords recruiting random troops based on where I gave them a fief, some recruiting their original troops. I wonder why the lords can't get the player culture while they can get the culture of npc kings. Is the culture not properly set by the start selection screen, could it work better if we could find a way to add a popup culture selection once we create a kingdom?

There are a couple of other alternatives I've considered but I know no way of implementing them.

Alternative 1: Force AI lords to only consider factions of the same culture when they defect to other AI controlled factions.

Alternative 2: Put on the tweaks for village and center recruits from current faction and find a way to force lords to recruit from villages and centers instead of giving them auto reinforcements.


EDIT: This is the one I tried most recently that worked for AI factions (added line in red), something extra for "fac_player_supporters_faction" that could be added?

      (troop_set_faction, ":troop_no", ":faction_no"),
      (troop_set_slot, ":troop_no", slot_troop_recruitment_random, 0),
      (troop_set_slot, ":troop_no", slot_lord_recruitment_argument, 0),
      (troop_set_slot, ":troop_no", slot_lord_recruitment_candidate, 0),
      (troop_set_slot, ":troop_no", slot_troop_promised_fief, 0),

#test
      (troop_set_slot, ":troop_no", slot_troop_original_faction, ":faction_no"),   
#test
     
      #Give new title
      (call_script, "script_troop_set_title_according_to_faction", ":troop_no", ":faction_no"), #new title system
     
      (try_begin),
        (this_or_next|eq, ":faction_no", "$players_kingdom"),
        (eq, ":faction_no", "fac_player_supporters_faction"),
        (call_script, "script_check_concilio_calradi_achievement"),
      (try_end),
 
Thats because the players faction doesn't have any slot_faction_reinforcments to recruit from. You can add them using the save editor, can even add new party templates to recruit from.

When the players faction is created you would need to get it to set those slots based on your culture.

I think it would take alot of coding to do it all via scripting, thats why i do it with save editor, I also removed the player kingdom specific part of cf_reinforce_party, this was the only way I could have garrisons of the culture I chose.

I'm thinking and I could be wrong something like.

Code:
(try_for_range, ":faction_no", kingdoms_begin, kingdoms_end),
(this_or_next|eq, ":faction_no", "$players_kingdom"),
(eq, ":faction_no",  "fac_player_supporter_faction"),
(try_begin),
  (slot_faction_eq, ":faction_no", slot_faction_culture, "fac_norse_culture),
  (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no", slot_faction_reinforcements_a, "pt_norse_reinforcements_a),
  (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no", slot_faction_reinforcements_b, "pt_norse_reinforcements_b),
  (faction_set_slot, ":faction_no", slot_faction_reinforcements_c, "pt_norse_reinforcements_c),
(else_try),
etc... (do this for each culture)

Like I said i could be wrong.

 
So I've been doing alot more modding lately and I'm beginning to get an understanding of it (if you look at it long enough stuff starts to make sense).
So I'm trying to get it so the scriptorium will apply it's bonus to all lords that have a town with one including the player, but it doesn't seem to work.
This is what i have so far.

#SCRIPTORIUM
          (try_begin),
            (party_slot_eq, ":center_no", slot_center_has_university, 1),
            (str_store_party_name_link, s1, ":center_no"),
(is_between, ":center_no", walled_centers_begin, walled_centers_end),
(party_get_slot, ":town_lord", ":center_no", slot_town_lord),
            #(troop_get_slot, ":player_renown", "trp_player", slot_troop_renown),
            #(le, ":player_renown", 15000),
            #(store_random_in_range, ":rand", 0, 100),#JuJu70
            #(le, ":rand", 50),#JuJu70
    (try_begin),    
  (gt, ":town_lord", 0),
  (store_random_in_range, ":renown_change", 10, 30),
(else_try) ,
    (store_random_in_range, ":renown_change", 100, 300),
(try_end),
(troop_get_slot, ":eek:ld_renown", ":town_lord", slot_troop_renown),
(store_add, ":new_renown", ":eek:ld_renown", ":renown_change"),
(troop_set_slot, ":town_lord", slot_troop_renown, ":new_renown"),
            #(store_random_in_range, ":renown_change", 10, 30), # 1, 2 or 3  
            #(troop_get_slot, ":eek:ld_renown", "trp_player", slot_troop_renown),
            #(store_add, ":new_renown", ":eek:ld_renown", ":renown_change"),
            #(troop_set_slot, "trp_player", slot_troop_renown, ":new_renown"),
            (display_message, "@The scriptorium in {s1} adds to your renown."),
            #(call_script, "script_change_troop_renown", "trp_player", 4), #MOTO this should probably be a one-shot addition; from 6 to 3
          (try_end),

I tried just targeting the troop ids before and it worked, it gave them renown, but it gave all my lords renown, not just the ones with towns. It also wouldn't work for me, so I tried it this way and targeted the slot_town_lord, but still won't work.
I have commented out some of the original for easy reverting. So am I on the right track or am I way off and going completely off rails? Any help would be really appreciated.

If this works, you could just compile different files depending on which culture you intend to play as. I'm going to give it another shot, thanks.

Edit: Just to be sure, when you said you removed the player kingdom specific part of cf_reinforce_party, I'm guessing you commented out all in green here, what about that bit in red?

Is there away to modify weapon stats? Or change if they can be used on horseback?

see file module_items.py, you can change the stats and flags (like usable on horseback) there. If you didnt yet you can check basic modding instructions on the initial posts of this thread (what is modsys, where to download, links, etc)

The second part too. Your reinforcements will be whatever you set as your slot_faction_reinforcements.
So make sure you have those set or you will get nothing.

this ton of thrust only weapons that are listed after the item_end place holder. Can I delete all that stuff to tidy up my items list without breaking the game, or is all those things needed for game mechanics? Tanx in advance.

they are created via code (not manually) for use on the special formations feature. It forces NPCs to use normal or thrusting weapons depending on the situation.

see module_items.py. You will not find those weapon in there. Instead you have this at the end of the file

Code:
#MOTO generate no-swing versions of weapons
#Warning: this makes additions to item table non-save compatible, as the system only reads in the "new" ones, effectively overwriting the real new ones

Cheers for that! So I assume it’s auto generated upon loading the module.py. So if I delete it and carry on, it will come back when a new game is started as long as it’s not removed from the module.py? Sorry for noob questions.
 
delete what?
Right, so I’ve added custom items armours and weapons. I want to test their, looks, reach, hand positions. So I’ve added them to the cheat menu. For testing purposes I’ve deleted all those items so I can quickly access the new items for testing. Otherwise I have to get them in game other ways, which takes longer. If you want to add them in the cheat menu, you have to account for all those items for the total items in the list. So it’s easier for me to do away with them at this time. I was asking, will they come back after I’ve finished and reload to modules script, or do I have to add them manually?

if you run the build_module.bat they will be created again, or just keep a backup (copy) of your item_kinds1.txt and create a new game (cant load a old save file).

if you want to test stuff why not include your new items on the player character inventory? No need to search for them using the cheat menu (faster).
 
Hey !

I am trying to add recruitment to the player lair in VC.

Tried to do it two ways, first by basically duplicating the village recruitment code to use it in the lair :

To do this I added the "recruit_volunteers" from the "village" entry in module_game_menus.py to the "player_lair_menus" and added
Code:
(store_random_in_range, ":test_lair", 0, 149),
(try_begin),
  (eq, ":test_lair", 0),
  (call_script, "script_update_npc_volunteer_troops_in_village", "p_yourlair"),
(try_end),
just after
Code:
(call_script, "script_update_npc_volunteer_troops_in_village", ":village_no"),
in module_simple_triggers.py

Second was by using forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,202029.0.html and replacing some parts to make it work for "p_yourlair" and not castles or towns.

Sadly none of these worked, with the first try it either didn't show any recruitment menu in the refuge or showed it all the time with no recruits available(Got this when I tried to tweak the conditions for the menu appearance). The second try didn't ever make the recruitment menu appear.

I believe I may have 2 issues, first I don't have a clue on how to set up or tweak conditions for the appearance of a menu and second is the number of available troops in the refuge that doesn't seem to ever update.

I'm pretty new to all this but I'm having quite a lot of fun, if anyone could help, would be really nice !  :grin:

That's the code when following the guide I linked.
 
there are several issues with your code, so for start review those lines

Code:
(store_random_in_range, ":test_lair", 0, 8),
Code:
(call_script, "script_update_npc_volunteer_troops_in_village", "p_yourlair"),
Code:
(call_script, "script_update_volunteer_troops_in_village", ":p_yourlair"),

explain what you are trying to do and/or fix the error on each of them
