A small requests to modders out there....help!!

[DanMLee88]

I posted this thread on the general SS forum, but since I received zero responses as to how I can make this work, I thought that posting it here where many experienced modders dabble in modding would be a better idea....

So I noticed that the 'Jerusalem captured' movie only plays when either fatimids or KOJ captures it....is there any way to modify the game files so that the movie can show for all Catholic and Muslim factions when they capture the holy city? Thank you in advance.

I believe you have to look at the campaign_script.txt file Stainless_Steel_6\data\world\maps\campaign\custom\late_era_campaign for that.

hmm...sounds like a start, but as you may have guessed, my modding ability is something of forest gump after 34 cans of beer......so if you could point out the specifics I would greatly appreciate the help

@DanMLee88
Forrest Gump After 34 Cans of Beer. Good title for a sequel. This is what Caesar Clivus is referring to in the custom_script.txt file for Late Era Campaign:

declare_counter Jerusalem_Jerusalem
	declare_counter Jerusalem_Byzantium
	declare_counter Jerusalem_Turks
	declare_counter Jerusalem_Egypt
	
	set_counter Jerusalem_Jerusalem 1
	
	;;; Jerusalem capture Jerusalem
	monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Jerusalem = jerusalem
		and I_CompareCounter Jerusalem_Jerusalem = 0
		
		set_counter Jerusalem_Jerusalem 1
		set_counter Jerusalem_Byzantium 0
		set_counter Jerusalem_Turks 0
		set_counter Jerusalem_Egypt 0
 		historic_event jerusalem_jerusalem event/Christians_Capture_Jerusalem.bik

 	end_monitor

Open the file in a test editor and add additional script like this:

	
	;;; England capture Jerusalem
	monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Jerusalem = england
		and I_CompareCounter Jerusalem_Jerusalem = 0
		
		set_counter Jerusalem_Jerusalem 1
		set_counter Jerusalem_Byzantium 0
		set_counter Jerusalem_Turks 0
		set_counter Jerusalem_Egypt 0
 		historic_event jerusalem_jerusalem event/Christians_Capture_Jerusalem.bik

 	end_monitor

What this will do is play the christiian movie when England captures Jerusalem. You will need to have the same script for every faction you want the movie to play for. Just copy and paste the script and replace 'england' with france, hre, etc. If you want to change the movies for Imperial (Grand) Campaign then edit the campaign_script.txt file the same way.

Since Catholics and Orthodox both use the same movie, there may be another way using something like this but I'm not sure it will work. Can anybody confirm this?

;-------------- JERUSALEM CAPTURED --------------;


	declare_counter Jerusalem_Christians
	declare_counter Jerusalem_Muslims
		
	set_counter Jerusalem_Christians 1
	
;;; Christians capture Jerusalem
	monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Jerusalem = not turks
		and I_SettlementOwner Jerusalem = not egypt
                and I_CompareCounter Jerusalem_Christians = 0
		
		set_counter Jerusalem_Christians 1
		set_counter Jerusalem_Muslims 0
	historic_event jerusalem_jerusalem event/Christians_Capture_Jerusalem.bik

 	end_monitor
	 	
;;; Muslims capture Jerusalem
	monitor_conditions I_SettlementOwner Jerusalem = turks
		or I_SettlementOwner Jerusalem = egypt
                and I_CompareCounter Jerusalem_Muslims = 0
		
		set_counter Jerusalem_Christians 0
		set_counter Jerusalem_Muslims 1
		historic_event jerusalem_turks event/Muslims_Capture_Jerusalem.bik

        end_monitor

1) If you just want the movie displayed, without saying which faction captured jerusalem, but only which religion did, then you need only 2 version of the script (christian, muslim ones).
2) If you want to be also informed which faction captured it, you need to do a separated script for every and add those events in text/historic_events.txt
