Writing Values to a File

[stanleythemanly]

Hi, everyone, is it possible to make an event, triggered by a decision, that results in values from the game, such as an army size(number of heavy/light infantry, cavalry, archers, etc.) , specific traits of characters, morale of armies, being written to a text file? Or possibly any modding utility that could help?

So basically a custom log with specific values that is generated by a specific event

You would have to hook into the memory of the game. There is no built-in facility for doing things like this.

The log effect can do some of that (I doubt there are any bracket commands to retrieve any numeric value and convert it to a string for printing/saving to log) but the best way to do that would be writing an external utility to extract the information from a save file.

Yea that's what I was thinking. Would anyone have any idea how to do this, I'm so bad at writing code I wouldn't even qualify as a script kiddie.

It's not too difficult to grep stuff out of an uncompressed save file or a log - try looking down that kind of route, as I have done in the past
