Modding - Quick questions

[Meneth]

thanks. is adding a new unit type possible ? (despite of sprite limitations) ?

As far as I know that's not possible.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Is adding friends, rivals, and lovers to the history files possible?

(For instance, when I start the game in 1066 as William the Conqueror, Matilda of Flanders, my wife, is automatically my lover.)

 

[unmerged(499270)]

Is it possible to change the allowable number of lovers to above 1? and how

 

[Polskers]

Ignore this post, please! I fixed my issue. Turns out it was an issue with the Barony of Montpellier.

Should be possible with the new effect scope. I use it to trigger a global event on day 1 for example.

How do I make culture specific title names? Like 'Rí' for Gaelic (Irish and Scottish) kings or 'Mepe-Mepeta' for Georgian Emperors etc. etc.

 

[richvh]

Just append the culture name to the title after an underscore in localization:

king_female_irish;Rígan;Ard Rígan;Ard Rígan;;Ard Rígan;;;;;;;;;x

Ok, thank you very much!

Where I can find a file which determines names of random characters, new born childrens etc?

common/cultures/*.txt has the name lists, divided up by culture and gender.

Anyone know if it is possible to change the randomly generated Dynasties to names you have created yourself, ie invite courtier so that it isn't "of Rome" or wherever and is instead "Claudius" or something. Effectively I would l prefer if there were few or no "of X" dynasties.

ATM the decision is this

decisions = {
employ_priest = {
potential = {
ai = no
is_ruler = yes
}
allow = {
NOT = { has_character_modifier = employment_timer }
piety = 10
}
effect = {
piety = -10
create_random_priest = {
random_traits = yes
dynasty = random
female = no
}
add_character_modifier = {
name = employment_timer
duration = 180
hidden = yes
}
}
revoke_allowed = {
always = no
}
ai_will_do = {
factor = 0
}
}

The "generate Baron" option makes people of the modded Dynasties but this decision doesn't.

Hi ,

someone know if the Tabs are only hardcoded ? I´m on a Mod to add more Jobs and even one more Guy to the Council ... jobs and more guys are easy as you see here :
View attachment 66910

My problem is now to add more Buttons , like the Faction tab : "Alliierte" Tab is made by me and clickable.
View attachment 66911

to do the GXF stuff is easy and working .... but i cant find the code where the buttons are linked to the proper screens , like the faction button is linked to domestic_plots.gui etc

if anyone know something about this deep modding of the GUI would be great ... thanks and greeting

I think it's enough to replace 'random' with your custom dynasty ID (number). For example, dinasty = 312, etc.

Of course, it would always be the same dynasty this way... to randomly choose it among a group of dynasties you'd have to add a random_list under the 'effect' section, and then write several different 'create_character' sections, with different dynasties IDs, for each random list element... it would be a very long piece of code but it's just a lot of copy and paste.

I suppose I could create an Decision called "Invite Senator" and do that for people with culture_Roman.

 

[Luca0312]

Yes of course, that would make the decision available only to roman culture characters, but it's unrelated to the dynasty of the created character...

I would also add your idea to that Decision, I just don't want Greek culture kingdoms being given Roman courtiers.

Edit; Also is it possable for the person's skills to be randomised, ie between Soldier, Diplomat and Steward. I don't want to end up with only employing diplomats.

 

[Sweordweras]

Is there any way to change a kingdom's capital in the history files, or do I need to write an event for this every time?

 

[ShadowGamer42]

How do I add an ally to a war in the history files?

Also, why do too so many troops spawn when this event fires? All I'm aiming for is to make it fire 20k troops for Scotland.

}

 

[Jia Xu]

Can modding be used to make a character who has a city capital playable (keeping a feudal succession law, because I'm not asking about republics)?

 

[Bad_Haggis]

Just to try and simplify my decision does anyone know if there is a way to set multiple possible values for dynasty = ? Such as Dynasty = 1 OR 2 OR 3 OR 4 OR 5 OR 6... for example.

Random_List isn't really working (or I'm using it incorrectly.)

Edit; What might solve it is if anyone knows what dynasty number is lowborn, or do you just not add dynasty?
