Alright, I fixed it. I did as you showed, but there must've been an animation or something missing with the file itself earlier on, since the line numbers between a fresh animations.py file and the modded one didn't match up even after I removed the Tavern Animations. So, the horses are now fixed and working as they should. No CTDs, and no error messages. Thanks again.

By chance, I'm currently working on that.
("manface_young_2",0xffcbe0e0,["hair_blonde"],[0xffffffff, 0xffb04717, 0xff632e18, 0xff502a19, 0xff19100c, 0xff0c0d19]),
First argument is the name of the face material
Second is an hexadecimal of the color multiplied on top of man_body8.dds to match texture. 0xff you ignore, cbe0e0 here is your color. So to get that value right, you need to open photoshop/gimp, put man_body8.dds and your face texture side by side, then put a colored shape layer on top of the body, put its fusion mode as "multiply" and play a bit with the color until the face and the body more or less match. For example, for a very pale face, you'll end up with a very light blue which will tone down the orangeness of the body texture.
Third argument is hair texture.
Fourth argument is a list of color for hair (multiplied on top of hair texture). Natively, hair texture is blond, so white hexa code will give you blond. In the example is a good color palette.
DarkNord said:Thank you snouz
and now
1,why would hair texture be there?
After i deleted all beards ( i copy/pasted male skin and step by step started adding my skin.and ofc renamed male to something new) i get a ctd in game so what should i do?
Could be anything. Always keep various versions of your module system and the rest so you can check differences later with winmerge in case of problem. Change things one by one to see the problem.

Hello everyone, I am very new to scripting, I just started 3 days ago. Anyways I was looking around for something that would always gurantee polearm weapons for soldiers when it is placed in their inventory. I found the script for it, I put it in module_scripts, and put a trigger in module_mission_templates, and everything worked. The problem is that I wanted to gurantee polearm weapons for Sands of Faith (and hopefully other mods). The module system only has the native files, and there is no ModSys for Sands of Faith. I asked on ModMB, and a person named rebelmarineha told me I should get WinMerge and compare the Native txt file, and my test mod (the one the ModSys and script went into), copy what's different, and paste it in the SoF txt folder. It worked for the scripts.txt, I found the code and copy/pasted it in the SoF scripts folder, however the mission_templates.txt has too many differences and I don't know which code in the txt file Im looking for. What can I do?
The module_mission_templates trigger is (call_script, "script_force_weapon", ":agent_no"),
How it looks combined with the other triggers in the file
common_battle_init_banner = (
ti_on_agent_spawn, 0, 0, [],
[
(store_trigger_param_1, ":agent_no"),
(call_script, "script_force_weapon", ":agent_no"),
(agent_get_troop_id, ":troop_no", ":agent_no"),
(call_script, "script_troop_agent_set_banner", "tableau_game_troop_label_banner", ":agent_no", ":troop_no"),
])

the script you are using is outdated now. The current version (1.170) of the engine has a flag for this. Add this to your header_troops.py
Code:
tf_guarantee_polearm = 0x08000000and you can use it on any troop just like the other guarantee flags.
--> its one of the updates added by the VC DLC and that can be used in any Warband mod. You should download modsys for 1.170 and check the new stuff

To kalarhan,
Thank you, I just downloaded the mod sys 1.171, however I still have a problem. I use Morgh's editor to edit/add troops and items and there isnt an updated version for it yet (since the update came out like a few days ago anyway), so if I want all my troops to have this 100% guaranteed, what would I need to do? Is there a code like the code that is next to the tf_guarantee_polearm that will have it 100% guaranteed?

Somebody said:
Im sorry if I come off as an idiot, I'm not the brightest person. What do you mean copy the work? How would I merge the new troops?
basedwontonsoup said:
WinMerge or any other merging tool/app helps. Main files you need to update are the header_XXX.py files, as they have the updates for the engine. Rest depends on if you want MP or SP only on your mod, and what your base is (Native 1.153, Floris, ....)
http://winmerge.org/
remember to update your .py files, not the .txt files, as those are replaced when you compile your code (build_module.bat or similar)

Im still confused, sorry it's late and again, Im not very bright. What would be ideal is if the tf_guarantee_polearm = 0x08000000 code could be changed to a code that guarantees it 100%.
Do you mean copy the tf_guarantee_polearm = 0x08000000 code and apply it to my troops? It would come out as something different in the txt file, then I copy that code and place it in my Sands of Faith troops.txt folder for that soldier? Then what do I do if I want that to be applied to all the troops, I'd have to copy and paste the code for all the soldiers?

My base is MB Warband 1.170, I downloaded the new mod sys v.1.171 so the .py files are updated, I saw the polearms code already in there in the header_troops.py file.

hello everyone this is my first time asking here so bear with me XD
i have few questions i wanna ask :
i still have many questions but oh let's leave it for another time and work on these i don't care if they are hard or takes too much time to do as long as i can do them i'll do them so help tips and advices will be welcomed thank you all and i hope u can help me out thanks and cya!
i have few questions i wanna ask :
- is there a limit on how many villages a town or a castle can have like a castle will have 2 or 3 villages rather then 1 the same with towns 5 or so rather then max(if there is a max here) of 3
- i'm not that perfect with coding but i'm not that useless as well so i was wondering how can i make custom events that pop up in a chosen date and will have results (like a new faction emerging as well as a faction leader death "of course using the osp here")
- lol i might sound stupid here but how can i change the pic that is displayed when checking a faction or a town or a character in the notes menu i want to see other things then the once that are displayed like a picture or something for each town character and....etc)
- how can i upgrade the version of my mod to work with newer versions of warband
- i saw once i think a turkish guy made it i don't remember a cinematic short movie of texts that shows up when you are done creating your character i was wondering if maybe i can tweak it some how to play a short movie of maybe 3 mins rather then texts and if i can't do that can i maybe play some kind of music in the background while the texts are showing up
- how to allow the player to use certain animations like the ai(if that's the correct word) for example the tavern osp the townsmen are sitting how can i make the player use some kind of a key board key like "L" or something so when he is near a chair he can sit by clicking "L"and so on
- the teleportation script i heard of it once but i can't find it can someone link me to it but to the question is there anyway i can use taverns in villages like maybe walking around the village reaching a door entering then the teleportation script is triggered and you get teleported to a tavern scene in one of the towns and when you get out you are in the village is this possible
- do you think its too difficult to allow many options in one place for example in a fort captured by a player from bandits you can have options to build market which will allow the option to speak with a trader there and buy and sell stuff from him as well as building a castle "Upgrading that small fort to a castle" with huge amount of money and when you do you will get the options to upgrade the levels of the castle with diff scenes and new options and so on !
- i saw in ACOK that you can make the Ai use some kind of animations like acrobatics stuff or so how can i do that cuz what i want to do is when you enter a huge town you will find some speaking there and some fighting over something the guards walking (i found a really cheap trick to do that lol)
- how can i use animations for a certain object like rowing animations for a ship and so on
- what is the limit of polys for an object added to a scene to avoid lags and crashes
- how to add items to the cheat menu for testing
- how can i add living animals to a scene like horses not dead (objects)but alive they move and so on and how can i add more animals to the game
- my most important question is how can i make the game use textures that i have rather then the ones using in the textures files so for example the terrain forest that we use for the campaign map i want to change it but how can i make the game read the changed texture from my mod will load_mod will do the trick replacing the native ones
i still have many questions but oh let's leave it for another time and work on these i don't care if they are hard or takes too much time to do as long as i can do them i'll do them so help tips and advices will be welcomed thank you all and i hope u can help me out thanks and cya!

Sorry but it looks like you typed here at once everything you wanna know, without bothering to search for answers yourself. Im pretty sure answers for majority of your questions can be found in tutorial section. Yes, its Q&A thread but...holy **** man. If you need details on some topic we are happy to help, but not gonna rewrite here wikipedia for you.

I can add to this that instead of "playing" you could use "division" - coloring the face with the sample of body color in "division" mode (or - as I did that - filling an empty sheet with the sample of face color in normal mode and then coloring this with the sample of body color in "division" mode), and then taking the sample of the new color and using it in module_skins.
As a person who's rather clumsy and inexperienced in GIMP I found it a better alternative to opening multiple images next to each other and then "playing", comparing results by sight.
Because there can be different hair textures for different skins.DarkNord said:
Usually only one is used - just recolored with multipliers - but different ones can also be used. Take Grim Age OSP as an example.

i did search and found answers for many of my many questions and the questions above i didn't understand the answers and solutions that were offered tried some got bugs tried others no result maybe because i'm with the latest warband game version and MS version i did found a lot of answers for many of my answers but as i said before(above) i have many questions because this was my first time asking lol and i asked everything at onceEmielRegis said:

and you don't have to write a wikipidia here u can just answer one or two questions if you like that would help me either way
and i'll try searching again and try to do some stuff and see if i can work and get some of my questions answers who knows maybe i did mistakes
PS: no need to be shocked XD
use bullet points instead when you have several questions. 1,2,3 makes easier to answer it lol
and please try to be direct in your questions. We don't need the history, just the facts
custom backgrounds are case by case, so you need to locate the menu/presentation and check the code
The module_XXX.py will depend on what you need to update. If you are using Native as your base there was no change in SP since 1.153, as the last versions were dedicated to VC DLC and recently the Invasion MP mode.

see tutorial on triggers (module_triggers.py and module_simple_triggers.py), that is how we control world events
check your textures folder or use OpenBRF to see the default ones used for UI. You can replace any of them
custom backgrounds are case by case, so you need to locate the menu/presentation and check the code
download newest modsys and update your header_XXX.py files. The file header_operations.py is the most important one. Get Lav's modules for a better version.

its a custom presentation. You can find a OSP for it on the OSP subforum.
custom animations are handled by operations (code). You can get a OSP like the Tavern one to study the code as a example. VC DLC uses it for farmers (villagers).
its not a script, it is how the game connects scenes (using menus and passages). Get the tutorial PDF (see tutorial subforum) as this is covered there
only you can answer that. Start by doing small things, you can't get 1000 hours of modding experience in 1 week.
see module_scenes_props;py and how Native handles the siege towers
keep it low, use Native as a reference for old machines, and newer releases (like VC) for higher requirements.
several ways, this will be easily answered once you read the basic tutorials on MBScript, events, etc. A good place is the starting menus (used to create a character), as there is already one for cheats (skip steps to start quickly)
learn by example. VC DLC is a good source for this. Study their code, animations, textures, ...
put them on your textures folder. Load them on BRF files and your module.ini using the proper order and settings.
