[Submod] Historical and Fantastical Artifacts [British Isles Release] [b-v0.21]

[Cody Spring]

Historical and Fantastical Artifacts​

This mod is an on-going project of mine to flesh out the artifacts in the game, one region at a time. My goal is to add in new artifacts that work alongside the vanilla artifacts, with the capability to find them in the same way to find vanilla ones, as well as much grander artifacts (such as Excalibur) that you will go on a quest for (somewhat similar to the Immortal quest event chain).

This mod, in it's current state, adds in 45 new artifacts to the game. Currently, only 18 are not related to the British Isles/Celtic Religion, as the British Isles is the only region I've been working on thus far, but the other regions will come into this mod as well in the future.

All artifacts are complete with graphics and such, and are balanced around the vanilla artifacts to (hopefully) not be found to be overpowered.

NOTE: The Excalibur quest is not complete, and is not in this version as I am still working on it.

To Do (in this order)​

- Finish Excalibur Questline
- Coronation Artifact (Crown Jewels) Overhaul

Spoiler

Each kingdom that has crown jewels IRL will receive those crown jewels, rather than the "catch-all" crown jewels for each religion. Things such as Curtana will be integrated into this. These will no longer give more stats than the vanilla crown jewels give. You will only receive the unique crown jewels when getting the highest quality crown jewels.

- West and East Roman Empire expansion

Looking forward to this being completed; do you have any plans on asking it to be integrated into plus once you're on a main build?

 

[Cody Spring]

I wouldn't mind it, that's up to the team, I probably won't push for it or anything

I speak only for myself (as in: not for the team) when I say I really like this idea for a submod. I was testing it myself tonight and noticed it threw a few error log entries you might want to look into.

[persistent.cpp:40]: Error: "Undefined modifier type! token: temple_opinion, near line: 236" in file: "common/artifacts/hafa_artifacts.txt"
[persistent.cpp:40]: Error: "Undefined modifier type! token: religious_enemy, near line: 237" in file: "common/artifacts/hafa_artifacts.txt"
[persistent.cpp:40]: Error: "Undefined modifier type! token: piety, near line: 250" in file: "common/artifacts/hafa_artifacts.txt"
[persistent.cpp:40]: Error: "Undefined modifier type! token: damage, near line: 252" in file: "common/artifacts/hafa_artifacts.txt"
[persistent.cpp:40]: Error: "Malformed token: .25, near line: 706" in file: "common/artifacts/hafa_artifacts.txt"
[persistent.cpp:40]: Error: "Unexpected token: focus, near line: 55" in file: "events/hafa_events.txt"
[persistent.cpp:40]: Error: "Unexpected token: focus, near line: 143" in file: "events/hafa_events.txt"
[persistent.cpp:40]: Error: "Unexpected token: modifier, near line: 2947" in file: "events/mnm_artifacts_events.txt"
[persistent.cpp:40]: Error: "Unexpected token: modifier, near line: 2948" in file: "events/mnm_artifacts_events.txt"
[persistent.cpp:40]: Error: "Unexpected token: narrative_event, near line: 2953" in file: "events/mnm_artifacts_events.txt"

Here are my thoughts on fixes:
1) temple_opinion is not the right modifier there, you want church_opinion
2) "religious_enemy" and "damage" modifiers need to be inside a command_modifier block, like they are in traits. This usage should work in artifacts as well: vanilla's 00_artifacts uses it a few times.
3) You probably want "monthly_character_piety" here, I don't think you can add a flat piety bonus in a trait or an arttifact.
4) the game tends to whine if decimal numbers are not preceded by a leading zero for some reason. I don't know if it still calculates properly using them - I would assume not.
5) Assuming you want those artifacts to be only findable while using the hunting focus, you can't do that in a pre-trigger, you need to include "has_focus = focus_hunting" in the relevant event's trigger clause instead.
6) I actually have no idea what could be causing the errors in mmm_artifacts_events. However, I would advise that, instead of checking long lists of individual counties in the British Isles with "has_landed_title", you make use of region checks like so:

any_demesne_title = {
    region = world_europe_west_brittania
}

There are lots of other defined regions that might be useful - check map\geographical_region.txt for a list.

I hope this is helpful!

Okay awesome! Obviously new to modding CK2, so I'm still learning all of these different intricacies of the "language" they use Thank you for the help.

 

[Foamybeard]

Suggestion - Angurvadal, a sword from Norse Myth that had runes covering it that, in times of war, would glow brightly. Germans and Norse only, perhaps?

Sounds cool! Will do!

 

[LordPeter]

I would approve on this getting added to the main game, as long as the "fantasy" ones disabled with the Supernatural game rule (which already may be the case? I didn't really catch that).
Anyway, sounds cool

That's the plan! The only thing I'm not sure about is where to draw the line with items from mythology. Perhaps do like they do with the Holy Grail in vanilla, where if Supernatural is turned on, you get THE holy grail, but if its turned off, you get a less powerful cup that you think is the holy grail.

 

[OdinX]

While ultimately it's up to @Cody Spring and the Plus team, I do believe this mod's integration would be appealing, I also believe it would be beneficial for the Plus devs since they wouldn't necessarily need to worry about working in many artifacts if they ever planned to. This however would mean that Cody would have to stay on top of updates to this mod which can become somewhat inconvenient. Anyways, I second for it to be implemented into the main branch whenever if ever.

 

[Foamybeard]

I have a question/ suggestion, @Cody Spring - Why doesn't Joyouse give a personal combat modifier, but a diplomacy boost? Perhaps it should be a ceremonial weapon instead?

 

[EmoPro]

Can you provide a manual download link? Mediafire or even google drive. The steam workshop doesnt seem to cooperate with me...

 

[karmaepsilon]

Durendal didn't spawn on Roland this last game I ran btw.

Right! It'll be ceremonial in the next update

Sure! I'll update the OP with a download link.

Durendal didn't spawn on Roland this last game I ran btw.

Will be fixed in next version!

 

[Susanna]

Do you need Monks & Mystics for this to be functional?

If having an inventory is a vanilla feature, then I think you'll be fine without MnM; however, if the inverse is true then I think you'll need it.

Inventory is vanilla (patch).
It's just that many of the base game artifacts will only spawn if you have the DLC, but that does not affect this mod.

 

[EmoPro]

Hey OP, I figured you can add an indicator to show when is the current submod version being uploaded. This can allow us to keep track of a new update (or just do a changelog list). Just for those of us who come back to ck2 once a while

 

[Cameron122]

What do you mean by West and East Roman updates? Finding the Western Crown as King of Italy would be really cool

 

[Carmir23]

Will there be an update to this mod?
