READ: HOW TO MAKE CUSTOM TROOPS GUIDE

[HorseArcher146]

I cant figure out how to add more trp_custom_recruit, you said keep the first ones that name so I did, but I want to add more troops and name them, but when I get to the troop editor they arent there. In the note pad of troops I added more customs but they arent on the troop editor, can someone please help?

Did you add them to the bottom?

 

[HorseArcher146]

Yea, on the notepad I copied them at the top and pasted them below everything else like it said. But I only end up getting 2 customs to work with.

Hi. i'm new here, and i see that you guys are really helpfull to everybody so yea, greeting's...
Well, my problem now; There's something i didnt get; How do you make troops? Yea, that is the base of the tutorial, but i dont get it. I mean, i have succefully made the "custom recruit", but... what after this?
i dont know how to make other things. Do the troop editor have a refresh buttons or something?
thx, and i'll maybe post an auto-answer soon (lol yea that's weird, but i'm particuliar...)

So, you actually get to recruit them right?

Upgrade paths
Starting a new game to get them work

That is all I get, if you give me more information on what you did I can help you x)

First of all, You go into the directory of Custom Settlement. Open the troops.txt and find these lines:

If you want you can go press edit > find > "custom"
Once you have that. Copy both and paste them at the bottom right after EVERYTHING.
Save it and run the troop editor. Find them at the bottom and you can start creating.

Hope this helps -.-

"paste it at the bottom right after everything" Uhm... What do you mean exactly? lol yea, i am particuliar, but also french (canadian one, trough) so...

If you need more, paste the custom to the bottom again. And you can edit from there. Do not forget about the upgrade path.

I know about the upgrade path, but i cant add more clowns (units). i dunno what i've done, but i added some, and rly want to know how i done this! So yea, i have put the recruit, and now i dunno how to add more.

 

[unknown3056]

Hmmmmm,
      try copying the Base Troops with the ID trp_custom_recruit/trp_f_custom_recruit and paste it at the bottom. Then you open the troop editor and work your way there.

Sorry if it does not help x)

Could you give me a code like this but for heroes/NPC

Could you be more specific what you want to do with that?
If you need code for a hero you can just copy one.

 

[faramir42]

i did that with kelmevor and it just messed the whole thing wrong

 

[Berpol]

Strange, my last post vanished

You can't add new heroes because the order and position of troops in the file troops.txt can't be changed. While it is possible to add new units at the end it is not possible to add new heroes because they won't be recognized as such.

You can change an existing hero but because of the complexity of the file (or do you know what 2964412836973755669 represents with the recruit troop?) any changes should be made with the unofficial troop editor.

To add new heroes you need to do what I do to create the city add-on -  install python, change the module system files and create wholly new mod files.

Important: When changing troops you have to remember that you need to start a new game otherwise the changes won't appear.

The peasant elder is the troop after the female recruit (Nothin) so it looks like somehow you are somehow missing a troop. If that is the case your peasant elder and merchants will also be defective (like general merchant in place of the armorer).
You could try to compare the unedited original file with your actual file, the Nothing and Nothin troops should still be in the same line as before. If they are not you should start again, if they are I am stumped.

i'm having trouble with the custom troops, i copied and pasted a custom troop tree from another player in a post, i edited them with the troop editor so they are the advancement options of eachother and they're all in the faction 1. commoners, but now when i claim a settlement and add a mega wave of villagers, i only see fighters and champions, when i go to the option for military training, it says there are # amount of men available, so i select train, when training is over i dont see any new troops, only the fighters troop dissapearing and weaponmerchant appears... does anyone know what to do?

 

[Lup_Alb]

I will make a full custom troop tree in Module system, but with no equipment so you will be able to edit the troops.txt with the troop editor adding only the equipment you want for your troops.

Thanks much for this tutorial, works just fine.

All i see is an arrogant attempt at self-promotion with a link that has nothing to do with "Creating" a custom troop and/or tree.

As usual, thanks for nothing Mad.
