is there any way to change which keys are associated with the order(s)?
In the version of the code that is in the OP, change the section in the spoiler marked module_constants to point to a different key.

is there any way to do it without python? just to give you an understanding of my situation, im playing the 1776 mod and it has volley fire incorporated into it but when i try to use the order through the function keys, it doesn't work. so i'm basically trying to change the orders from being used by the function keys to some other key on my keyboard.
Ah, I see. If they are using this version of the code, then we'll need to edit mission_templates.txt
1. Make a backup of the file
2. Open it (preferably in something like Notepad++, but notepad works fine)
3. Find the section that beings mst_lead_charge
4. Find the line that begins
Code:
0.000000 0.000000 1.000000  1 71 1 66
That '66' says the key is F8.
5. Pick a new key from the key list and plug the hex number into this converter: http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hex-to-decimal-converter
Code:
key_1 = 0x02
key_2 = 0x03
key_3 = 0x04
key_4 = 0x05
key_5 = 0x06
key_6 = 0x07

6.  Replace the 66 with the appropriate number (for instance, for "i" or  0x17, change 66 to 23
7. Save. Play.


You should suggest that they update to the code in the current version of PBOD as that includes a Key Configuration menu within mod options so you can do this in game (you might want to check camp->mod options to be sure that there isn't one already).
 
Is there any way of making this non .py? I would like to implement this into the age of change mod with text only... I have a feeling that will not happen though.
 
I am trying to implement volley fire to my mod. How can I add the order "Volley!" to the fire orders menu (the one opened  with the F3 key in battle)? It is working but it doesn't appear in the menu and when I order my archers to start voley, the menu remains opened on screen.

No, unfortunately there is not.

The code here doesn't do this, but if you look at the open source of the full/more integrated implementation of volley fire within my mod Pre-Battle Orders & Deployment (&Positioning) linked below you'll find how I accomplish it there.

In particular, note the presentation "caba_order_display" that creates the new framed order boxes, and the numerous mission template triggers in the list "caba_order_triggers" that track which orders are being given to display (or not) the additional orders appropriately.

There's no direct way to edit the order menu--or to suppress the menu from showing after giving an order that has been modded in--but what you'll find in the PBOD source is the current extent of what is possible.

I did not understand, how to put this:
Code:
(
    "lead_charge",mtf_battle_mode,charge,
    "You lead your men to battle.",
    [ 
     // bunch of stuff...all the way to the very end
          ] + order_volley_triggers,
  ),

I have re-explained that just above in an exchange with Crossbow Joe. Check there and see if his additional information is useful. It should be pretty straightforward when you are looking at a mission template in the module_mission_templates file. If the above doesn't help, something more specific about what you don't understand or what you've tried would be helpful for me to know where to start.

1. - No panel displays the orders that I saw in the video.

2. - Could be done for multiplayer? (playing with bots).
Yes, I'm sure it could. I however, am not versed in MP coding and have not yet ventured to get my various battle orders to work there. I hope to in the future, given the existence of Battle Time! so folks could use these features cooperatively, but it is not high on my "to do" list.
 
Why can't python use C/Java Syntax, I can't understand this code!!!!! :cry:

And, is this in floris 2.5, if so, how do I access it?.

The syntax is quite simple--and it isn't Python, but a unique language for modding M&B. Check out the syntax link in my sig.

Rangerplus10 said:

Yes, by way of Pre-Battle Orders & Deployment: it is under the special attack orders menu F7 - F6 should start a volley.
 
Any chance to make this mp compatible? Would it be that hard?

edit: Found this in the thread:
Code:
Since it uses team_slots to track things, it could be made compatible with multiplayer. The tricky part that would need to be changed would be getting the order given to the correct team. I've not done any MP coding, but it should definitely be possible.

OKay, that helps me a bit. But I still got no real Idea on how to do it :wink:

Many of the agent_get_team calls would need to be changed to agent_get_group (I believe), which should be pretty straightforward. I'm not positive that (class_is_listening_order, <GROUP>, <class>) works in MP, but I would suspect that it does.

However, I'm not sure which of the calculations need to be done server side versus client-side. I'm guessing most everything should be server, but I don't know that for sure...working that out and creating the necessary events is what I am clueless about and would need to work through. But this isn't high on my priority list, as mentioned above...would love it if another puzzled it out though, and I'm sure others would be interested.
 
If I can do it, I will post it here. But I don't think I can do it, we will see. Btw, I was about to ask the same question for PBOD, as e.g. the formations would be really useful for me. To explain it more precisely, I am making some kind of a forum RPG atm with my Clan Members, and the battles take place in Warband with Armies of Bots. And well, Warband could use some more orders...

I'd love to have them working, but they present the same problems as this and my other orders. Stuff referring to teams needs to be changed to groups (which throws a bigger mess for formations since there are so many team slots used) and then the client/server divide would need to be addressed. Not something I'm looking forward to tackling.
 
Yea, I got my biggest problem with server/client side stuff too. I really hate it. But anyways, I will surely try to do it, At least I'll take a look at it.

This code works with Mount&Blade standard v1.011 too?
I doubt it, but it would be worth checking. (The WB in the tag implies it needs at least Warband.)
You'd need to go through and be sure all of the operations used here are present in original M&B--I don't think all the order-related ones are.
 
It doesn't work with M&B Classic. I have tried but it seems that M&B Classic handles the items wielded by NPC's in a different way.
