Thread: How do you use the background script?

  1. #1

    Default How do you use the background script?

    I have read something about a script, how do I enable it? And will it still work even if my campaign is on turn 3?

    Go to the folder where you have your install of the mod, then ibfd/options/scripts, you have 4 different scripts there.

    Okay, I installed both of them (4tpy and Sack of Rome), thanks.

    Will my campaign be screwed up because it is already on turn 3, or will the scripts just start working?

    And what does the "SACK OF ROME" script do?

    It should just start working and allign itself to the right date if youu only want the 4tpy script to activate. For the Sack of Rome you might want to restart. Also, I believe the Sack of Rome script also includes the 4tpy script as well so you only need to install that one.

    The sack of Rome script allows the Visigoths to sack the city of Rome at the beginning of the game. If you want to witness that event, you'll need to start a new campaign, if not, well don't do anything, the 4tpy script won't mess your campaign if you are only 3 turns into it. What Lord Agelmar says is right, the sack of rome script includes the 4tpy script.

    What is the correct pathway for auto installation of these scripts? I tried The Creative assembly/Rome TW/IFBD and nothing happened.

    I hope this works.

    The 4tpy works fine, but I have yet to see the Visigoths sack Rome. They just wander around the Massalia area (don't know what that is in IBFD)

    Are you playing as the WRE? The script causes the Goths to take Rome and then vacate it allowing the WRE to retake it in one turn which could be why you didnt see it if you are not playing as them.

    I forgot to add it only occurs at the very beginning of a campaign.
