Village elder in custom towns

[Kirkselt]

For some reason 3 towns (added by me) have village elders instead of guild masters, the problem is those guild masters are present in module_troops

["town_51_mayor", "Guild_Master", "{!}Guild_Master", tf_hero|tf_randomize_face, 0,reserved, fac_neutral,[ itm_fur_coat, itm_woolen_hose], def_attrib|level(2),wp(20),knows_common, man_face_middle_1, mercenary_face_2],
["town_52_mayor", "Guild_Master", "{!}Guild_Master", tf_hero|tf_randomize_face, 0,reserved, fac_neutral,[ itm_fur_coat, itm_leather_boots], def_attrib|level(2),wp(20),knows_common, man_face_middle_1, mercenary_face_2],
["town_53_mayor", "Guild_Master", "{!}Guild_Master", tf_hero|tf_randomize_face, 0,reserved, fac_neutral,[ itm_fur_coat, itm_leather_boots], def_attrib|level(2),wp(20),knows_common, man_face_middle_1, mercenary_face_2],
["town_54_mayor", "Guild_Master", "{!}Guild_Master", tf_hero|tf_randomize_face, 0,reserved, fac_neutral,[ itm_fur_coat, itm_leather_boots], def_attrib|level(2),wp(20),knows_common, man_face_middle_1, mercenary_face_2],

How can i fix this ?

towns (which is a party) use slots to store the ID of related NPCs like who is the mayor/Guild Master. The Native way is to use the ranges to pre-define them before executing the code.

So check your module_parties.py and module_troops.py. Do they have the same groups? In the correct order and places?

Those pre-defined NPC will them be connected to the towns when a new game is created. Slots are stored inside the save game file. Thus you will also need to start a new game (campaign), cant use a load file.

# from troops
mayors_begin           = "trp_town_1_mayor"
mayors_end             = "trp_village_1_elder"

village_elders_begin   = "trp_village_1_elder"
village_elders_end     = "trp_merchants_end"

# from parties
slot_town_elder         = 25

# from module_scripts.py look for this line
(party_set_slot,":town_no", slot_town_elder, ":cur_object_no"),

I realized that i forgot to add some guild master , anyway as i understood, if you add troops to your module you can't see them in an old savegame because they aren't stored ?

True. Old savegames cannot call what didn't exist before.

not quite that. Troops are loaded from the .txt file, but their ID's are not. So you will have incompatible values here.

When you started a new game the first king was ID=500
You add some new soldiers and the king is now ID=570
However the slots stored in the save file still consider king as #500. So when the code calls for ID #500, who will be used? Answer: not the king you expected

Its a mix of stuff that is static and dynamic in nature. Unless you know what is which, you should just start a new game every time.
