Simple Way to Edit npc inventory

[DeViLmAn0]

Was searching around a bit before trying to post but i was wondering if theres a simple,non mod heavy way to change npc inventory(clothing) etc.

Was going to suggest the Unofficial Troop Editor by HokieBT but that was for the original M&B but you can use Morgh's Warband TXT Tools. Mind you, they both require a new game. Actually, any change in troops.txt requires a new game to take effect.

These two programs let you modify the inventory of each troop present in a particular mod (including Native). All you have to do is to clear their inventor first and then give them the equipment you want them to have (clothes, weapons, horses etc. and everything else). Also, if you add two different equipment of the same kind, one of them will be picked randomly etc. It's really not that difficult.

There was a txt tweak in the MageLord thread, that allowed getting the "Let me see your equipment" dialog with any troop in your party, thus allowing changing the outfit or weapons.
The issue (or bonus, I don't know) was that any change in their outfit would then affect all troops of the same category in the entire world!
If you gave your Nord Veteran Warrior a purple hat, then ALL Nord Veteran Warriors of Calradia would then wear the same purple hat.

Anyway, I wonder if this tweak still works in Warband.

Equip regular troops like companions *tweak*

It works with Warband, but it's not the ideal way to equip NPCs as they usually have multiple equipment of the same type. Some lords, for example, have both armor and a casual dress which they wear indoors. If you accidentally remove one of their clothes or armor it becomes impossible to put them back as the other one replaces it. But of course if you want to equip your vassals just like you do to companions, then you can use that tweak.

Here's the code I use to equip my vassals in Warband:

You need to replace these lines in conversation.txt

Notice that with this tweak you can also view & upgrade his skills.

I will have to check into those a bit more after im more awake, tryin to play with such things after first waking up may not be wise unless ive made a backup copy of my game folders haha.  Would it then also be possible to change the attire of future wife in the game? in native she was fine but seems some attires were tweaked a bit in the current mod im playing and id like to switch her back to her normal attire haha

 

[lead_poisoning]

I don't suppose this could be editted to access the inventories of other NPCs?

 

[Schemer]

I don't think it's possible to change the equipment on your wife. The python scripts determine it based on random variables and the lady's personality. I attempted to script it, but my wife's inventory wouldn't even appear, despite the script working for other characters.

An interesting coincidence. Earlier today, I "coded" (term used loosely since I mostly just mash scripts together) the ability to edit the equipment of lords through a dialogue option.

In module_dialogs.py, search for this block.

  [anyone|plyr,"lord_talk",[(eq, "$cheat_mode", 1),
                            ],
   "CHEAT -- Let's duel (insult)", "lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_duel",
   [
   ]],

Put another block below it, like this.

  [anyone|plyr,"lord_talk", [],
   "Let me see your equipment.", "cheat_review_lord_equipment",[]],

  [anyone,"cheat_review_lord_equipment", [], "Very well, it's all here...", "lord_pretalk",[(change_screen_equip_other)]],

Edit 1: Already been posted, although not in module format. Give me about 20 minutes and I'll have a version for any NPC.

Edit 2: Maybe this? I couldn't get it working for every NPC at once, and I'm still testing this due to my current character not being married. I'll report back soon on whether it works or not.

Above this block (at the very bottom):

  [anyone|plyr,"free", [[in_meta_mission]], " Good-bye.", "close_window",[]],
  [anyone|plyr,"free", [[neg|in_meta_mission]], " [Leave]", "close_window",[]],

Put this:

  [anyone|plyr,"spouse_talk", [],
   "Let me see your equipment.", "cheat_review_spouse_equipment",[]],
   
  [anyone,"cheat_review_spouse_equipment", [], "Very well, it's all here...", "close_window",[(change_screen_equip_other)]],

used it on latest brytenwalda and it doesnt work anymore

Actually, any change in troops.txt requires a new game to take effect.

Only stat changes, new troops, or a change in the trees requires a new game. Inventory changes of existing troops are savegame compatible.

I've successfully added troops to the game, loaded a save game, and was able to use said troops. Stat changes work, just not level changes.

Odd thing is, however, inventory change may or may not work on the Ladies of Calradia. For some reason, if I remove their current equipment via an editor, and add new items, after a few days they strip entirely/partly naked.

The randomized clothing is only done once at game start. You can add a new dialog to change wife clothing just like companions.
Make you wife into companion. The 9th spoiler contains some additonal dialogs for wife including option to equip her.
