[S] Last Breath of Calradian Empire (ye Olde Thread)

[arlvent21]

If this mod isn't coming out by the end of 2016, I am killing myself.

go on.

They have a Spanish forum for this mod. I think they do everything there. I hope it is not dead though. This would be a very nice mod.

It's not dead, and we are aiming for a release before 2016 ends. We are having some code problems though, so it would be great if we would find a coder who could give us a hand with this 

 

[Xephaeston]

Niice! I hope you find someone fast. xd

 

[DrunkPeasant]

Before 2016 ends????!!!!

What in particular do you need coded?

Three things. First, we need to fix the bandit dialogs. We modified them some time ago using the brytenwalda code to make us able to recruit bandits if we had enough money or bad renown. Now it's not working properly for some reason, and when we recruit the bandits we don't lose money 

Second, we need to disable the lords defections. Third we need to make that when you join any side at a battle with two neutral factions, you gain relation with the faction you aid (this already happens) and you also lose relation with the faction you fight against (this is what needs to be fixed).

As you see it dos not look like really complicated stuff but I am pretty inept at coding

For the first that was a Bryt bug that they then fixed in VC, so you could compare the dialog code for that.

For the third I think it's pretty simple, this seems to be the change I made in VC for that:

Spoiler

        "Move in to help the {s2}.",[
          (select_enemy,0),
          (assign,"$g_enemy_party","$g_encountered_party"),
          (assign,"$g_ally_party","$g_encountered_party_2"),
          (store_faction_of_party, ":defender_faction", "$g_encountered_party"),
          (call_script, "script_change_player_relation_with_faction", ":defender_faction", -3), #kragg add
          (jump_to_menu,"mnu_join_battle")]),

        "Rush to the aid of the {s1}.",[
          (select_enemy,1),
          (assign,"$g_enemy_party","$g_encountered_party_2"),
          (assign,"$g_ally_party","$g_encountered_party"),
          (store_faction_of_party, ":attacker_faction", "$g_encountered_party_2"),
          (call_script, "script_change_player_relation_with_faction", ":attacker_faction", -3), #kragg add
          (jump_to_menu,"mnu_join_battle")]),

It's been a while but I think it worked.

Thank you very much, I was thinking the dialogs thing was a general problem with my module system, nice to know it's not. I'm trying it right now, cheers!

I smell the end of the Calradians. 

 

[Comrade Crimson]

Good gravy. I remember recording for this mod with that ol' humble yeti. Part of me wants to put an OSP pack out for general use with my new audio technica 4040.

 

[Xephaeston]

Mike, could you record a combat video of what you have already? Just to give us a little taste of it.

Wow wow wow, not so fast, I'm still able to finish this mod!!

Hum, not a bad idea. Any preferences in the selection of factions that take part?

 

[Xephaeston]

hmm. Well obviously the Calradian Empire or whatsoever the faction is called in the mod.

Against some other faction doesn't matter which for me.

It will be done. Just wait a few days 

 

[Xephaeston]

Noice. I'm really hyped.

 

[fladin]

me too 

 

[Comrade Crimson]

I'm pretty stoked for this mod to come out.

 

[mikeboix]

Here you have good lords. A quick video where I control some Imperial tier 1, 2 and 3 troops against the forces of the Uldemberg Empire. This faction's leader is a calradian noble who got exilied to Geroia years ago and then reunited an army of geroian mercenaries an returned to Calradia to fight for the imperial crown. He is also supported by some native warlords from the rhodok mountains.

Note that I've not yet implemented Comrade Crimson's voices (I'm still having problems with that) and that there are some texture problems, but of course all of this is WIP. Cheers!
