KGCM + HHB Frequently Asked Questions

[RON JEREMY]

Dave;

Thanks for the reply. Regarding the Gunpowder event, I don't
think Gunpowder/cannonades were used much before 1325.
So I was thinking about the Gunpowder event circa about 1360 A.D.

Here is a link: http://riv.co.nz/rnza/hist/gun/firstgun.htm

P.S. I tried SS 6.1 and other mods but I keep coming back to this
one. I FEEL THIS IS THE BEST MOD OUT THERE. Why doen't this mod
get the recognition like other mods like Stainless Steel?

Forum snobbery thats what it is. I simply dont have the same social status around here as other modders do. Before I made KGCM I was a nobody, and despite all of my hard work for over a year now my mod still never gets a mention on this forum. Look outside this sub forum and you will not find one mention of KGCM anywhere. According to some people who run this forum there are only 5 mods for M2TW. Stainless Steal, Broken Cresent, Pro Deo Et Rege, Deus lo Vult, Darthmod 1.4C. Now if Lusted was to have created this mod.. you can imagine the coverage that it would recieve. KGCM wont even make the vote at the end of the year for best mod, even though its been very popular and well liked by most people. Because nobody respects my work but my fans.

[Sarge]

Yeah, well, we respect you Dave. Don't listen to those foolish snobs and keep up the good work!

Well, for what it's worth, this is the ONLY mod that has appealed to me, to the extent where I am now prepared to overwrite my own mod with this one. Just keep up the good work and you will find your reputation on the forum will be as good as any other mod creator... in my view anyway.

Just a thought, but to test this theory, why don't you enable your rep?

Oh yeah, forgot to ask, will the other campaigns work with this mod installed? (i.e. crusades, teutonic, imperial etc?)

[Gajus Flaminius]

i have a question
when the ai conquers a settlement which has a garrison script, do they have the script in this city too or do the scripts only work for the faction who had the settlement at the beginning of the campaign?

[Userpro]

...the scripts only work for the faction who had the settlement at the beginning of the campaign?

Yes.

This download marks all garrison script settlements with an asterisk in their names on the strat-map.
Replace this with the old one located in ...
x:\Medieval 2 Total War\mods\kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod\data\text
Make a backup of the old one.
Take effect only with a new started campaign.
For KGCM 3.6 only!

Glad to serve you with my uploads

[Dave Scarface]

Thanks very much userprobe! I am always grateful for the contributions you make

Dave

You know exactly, that my disappointment is again some really grateless Users arround here , but for sure not again you!

[Gajus Flaminius]

of course thy for your aid userprobe
i must admit that i sometimes need the hint for saying that although it's of course unfriendly
btw one more thing, does anybody know how to avoid that generals get winning first after their first battles. mine get this almost always after their first or second battle. i think that it must have something to do either with the usage of bows/crossbows/guns (not knight-style) or the total kills at the end of the battle or maybe with both. in my opinion it has nothing to do with the prisinors you take because in the last battle a general of mine received winning first i only had taken 12 prisionors. or arn't you "allowed" to use your general in battle because its not noble when he kills enemies ? :hmmm:

edit: found the answer myself
a very stupid thing i must say but i won't change it per *cheat*

Thank you.

Thank you.

Look in the SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod\data folder for the export_descr_buildings.txt. Open it with notepad, in the upper right toll bar click on edit, then select find. Now type in pike and click the find next button. This below is the first pikemen entry you will find below.

recruit_pool "Pike Militia" 1 0.4 3 0 requires factions { france, hre, spain, portugal, milan, venice, papal_states, sicily, ireland, } and event_counter gunpowder_discovered 1

delete and event_counter gunpowder_discovered 1 from the end of that line. When finished with the find box still open click find next again, repeat until you have done every last pikemen unit. Pikes will now be recruitable at the building levels they are set to without the gunpowder event. If you want you can move these units to an earlier building level to make them available at the start. But before you carry these changes out I must warn you to back up the export_descr_buildings.txt to somewhere.

PS.Excuse my bad english.

No problem mate, I understood your english perfectly.

[Wolf-Strike]

Thank you very much dave.i made those modifications and it works.

[Wolf-Strike]

Another question.Is there a way to add a unit to a faction roster?i mean i want to allow ireland to recruit Saethwyr.Is this posible and if it is how?

[Dave Scarface]

Another question.Is there a way to add a unit to a faction roster?i mean i want to allow ireland to recruit Saethwyr.Is this posible and if it is how?

Thats a more complex question. You would need to add Saethwyr to irish ownership in the MODELDB file and then the EDU and EDB. If you don't do it right the mod will fail to start up. So backup all of these files first.

Dave

[Wolf-Strike]

I have found the EDU and EDB files but i don't know what and where is the MODELDB file.can you tell me where is it?And what i should modify?

[Tsarevna]

I think there is a very important detail about the mod that should be mentioned in the FAQ.

The mod's size!

When I unpacked the game I used up most of my hard drive space. I downloaded the mod, and then found I didn't have enough space to install it. I had to abort the installation.

I didn't know how much space I needed to free up! I searched everywhere on the forum to try and figure out the size of the mod (v3) once it is installed.

To save others from my troubles here is the information:

The Kingdoms Grand Campaign Mod .exe file = 689 MB
KGCM, V 3.0, installed = 2.51 GB

The 3.7 patch .exe file = 124 MB
The 3.7 patch, once installed, makes the total size of the mod = 2.64 GB

I recommend burning a CD with the .exe files on it so you can delete it from your hard drive to free up room for the install if you are running out of space.
That's easy to do when you have a bunch of mods installed and the game unpacked!

[Userpro]

When installing patch 3.7, most of the previous 3.0 install will be overwritten. So the mod size remain near 2.7GB (installed). I suggest to make only a copy of the whole updated KGCM mod folder.

[Dave Scarface]

@Wolf-Strike,

Here is a short guide I posted up for someone else on another forum. This showed how to add a new unit in for Sicily.

The problem with your mod not starting up is almost certainly with the MODELDB file. I hope you backed that up before modding it otherwise just reinstall the mod.

Open up the MODELDB file and click on edit in the toolbar at the top, then select find. Type in 10 musketeers, this will take you straight to where we are going to add musketeers in for Sicily. We will copy the Portgual model because it is the closest colour.

10 musketeers

Above 5 spain look at the number 6 delete it and type 7 then you must leave 1 space after it on the same line. Further down their is another 6 above 5 spain, change that to a 7 as well. We will now add Sicily to this unit model. Copy the text in red below england:

7 england
73 unit_models/_Units/RN_Light_Lmail/textures/RN_Light_Lmail_england.texture
72 unit_models/_Units/RN_Light_Lmail/textures/RN_Light_Lmail_normal.texture

72 unit_models/_Units/RN_Light_Lmail/textures/RN_Light_Lmail_normal.texture
43 unit_sprites/portugal_Musketeers_sprite.spr

There must be 1 space left after each line or it wont work. Then add this in red below:

7 england
69 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final European CB Gun_england_diff.texture
69 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final European CB Gun_england_norm.texture
0
6 sicily
70 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final European CB Gun_portugal_diff.texture
70 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final European CB Gun_portugal_norm.texture
0

Note that there must be 2 spaces after the 0 here, save and exit. You should now have musteteers for Sicily working with textures
