NAx 2.1 tweak micro-mod

[Darken]

I want it to fire for both the player and the ai. So i need AND inserted?
and thanks for the explanation.

with the OR = {} in my example, that modifier will fire for any nation that is a player or any nation that is a AI (which is every nation in the game). If you do not have the OR = {}, then that modifier will require nations to have BOTH the player and AI flags, which is impossible in MMG (or at least not intended). you do not need a AND = {}.

[Darken]

Me too, I am a bit confused. What do I have to change to apply your mod's changes to MMG?

I will describe MMG 1.70 (31/10/2007) instructions here:

1. place my fix.csv file in EU3\mod\MagnaMundi Gold\localisation folder.
2. from my triggered_modifiers.txt file, copy all of the lines of code AFTER this comment:

######################################
# troop/tech level fixes
######################################

and paste it inside the EU3\mod\MagnaMundi Gold\common\triggered_modifiers.txt file (at the very end).
3. inside the EU3\mod\MagnaMundi Gold\common\triggered_modifiers.txt file, change this:

fix_player = {
	trigger = {
		num_of_cities = 1 #fires for both AI and Player
	}
	technology_cost = -0.35
}

to this:

fix_player = {
	trigger = {
		NOT = { ai = yes }
	}
	technology_cost = -0.35
}

This will make it so that only the player gets this -35% tech cost reduction. MMG already has AI tech cost reductions so that is why this needs to only be for the player.

Thanks...

However, AI are labeled as "ai1" to "ai5" in the MMG triggered modifiers file.

Shouldn't I change your labels from "fix_ai_number" to "fix_ai#" instead?

the labels should remain how they are once you follow the steps for MMG installation. The fix.csv and one of the MMG *.csv files are where the labels are declared to the game engine. If the labels in triggered_modifiers.txt are changed without changing the labels in the *.csv files, there can be game crashes or other problems. It realy does not matter how the labels are spelled in the triggered_modifiers.txt file as long as the labels match exactly in the *.csv files. I think spaces cannot be used so instead of spaces use _.

[Drakken]

Gotcha. Thanks.

[Darken]

Gotcha. Thanks.

You're welcome.

let me know if my fix needs to be adjusted for MMG, I do not play it.

well, If you already have a triggered_modifier.txt file before wanting to install the 2.1 tweak then you need to copy the last 4 lines (fixes) of my triggered_modifier.txt update (nov 3rd) and paste them inside your already existing triggered_modifiers.txt file.

Yet you earlier wrote:

1.copy the last four modifiers from my fix file and paste them into the existing mod triggered_modifiers.txt file in the mod/mod name/common folder.

This seems to imply that the last 4 lines to be copied come from your fix.csv file. Yet the quote I gave from you, says that the 4 lines come from your triggered_modifiers.txt file. Which is it, please?

I must have made a mistake then. sorry. no text should be copied from the fix.csv file. Only text from my triggered_modifiers.txt file (last four modifiers) should be added to your existing triggered_modifiers.txt file if you have one.

Thanks for enlightening me!

So the only part to copy from the triggered_modifiers.txt file of yours is the part beneath "# troop/tech level fixes," correct? I just want to be sure.

That is corrrect.

Darken - I was wondering if its possible to edit this micro-mod to just fix the "Low Technology levels" problem.

I quite enjoy the challenge of fighting huge AI armies/navies...

In this case would I just need to get rid of the triggered events at the bottom of the triggered_events.txt file that don't relate to low tech? Can I leave the fix.csv as it is?

you are right but let me explain it so you have no doubts.

1. keep fix.csv as it is. there is no need to change it even if you remove most of the triggered_modifiers.txt additions that I added. This will not crash or harm your game.

2. change this portion of the mod/modname/common/triggered_modifiers.txt:

######################################
# troop/tech level fixes
######################################
fix_ai_four = {
	trigger = {
		ai = yes
		num_of_cities = 75
	}
	land_forcelimit_modifier = -0.6
	naval_morale = -0.2
	ship_recruit_speed = 0.3
	bigship_cost = 0.4
	lightship_cost = 0.4
}

fix_ai_three = {
	trigger = {
		ai = yes
		num_of_cities = 50
	}
	land_forcelimit_modifier = -0.6
	naval_morale = -0.3
	ship_recruit_speed = 0.4
	bigship_cost = 0.7
	lightship_cost = 0.7
}

fix_ai_two = {
	trigger = {
		ai = yes
		num_of_cities = 25
	}
	land_forcelimit_modifier = -0.2
	naval_morale = -0.3
	ship_recruit_speed = 0.5
	bigship_cost = 0.7
	lightship_cost = 0.7
}

fix_player = {
	trigger = {
		num_of_cities = 1 #fires for both AI and Player
	}
	technology_cost = -0.35
}

to this: (remove all 3 AI modifiers leaving this code)

######################################
# troop/tech level fixes
######################################
fix_player = {
	trigger = {
		num_of_cities = 1 #fires for both AI and Player
	}
	technology_cost = -0.35
}

As I only play my mod, I am not sure if inflation needs to be adressed in this fix because in my mod AI inflation is fine. Does anyone think the AI inflation needs to be changed and if so, how much should it be changed?

does anyone think any other ideas or changes should be made for this fix?

[Darken]

well, with this enlightening post from Johan, I must now humbly make some statements here.

I should have realized that there was a AI troop and ship size goal. the only reason my forcelimit reductions work is because the AI does have goals.

the good news is that my fix does not need to be adjusted as long as players try to keep within thier forcelimits because that is where I based my AI adjustments (I assumed players would keep at or below thier forcelimits).

Can i add this fix as a downloadable patch for MEIOU:NA please ?

yes, feel free to use it. You have let me use your ideas before and helped me before. Glad to be able to help you.

There were no installation instructions for having the files in a mod by themselves. I didnt want to replace my original files and i didnt want to use any other mods.

So would this work?

NAX.mod file with this contents

name = "NAX"
extend = "localization"
extend = "common"

this goes in the mod folder and then you put the fix and triggeredmodifiers files in the appropriate folder being europauniversalisIII/mod/NAX/

yes, this will work. make sure you keep the same NAX/common and NAX/localisation file structure. make sure you use this spelling instead: (unless you use a different language of the game?) extend = "localisation"

[Hermes]

Thanks for the quick answer.

Its localisation yes. I copied the folder name from your first post so you might want to change that.
