[Gigantus]

Simple and straight forward. Thanks.

[Eothese]

Nice work J@mes! I'm definatly going to take time out to put this in my Expanded Americas mod.
Just one thought though, will there be any effects on victory conditions from such a name change?

[J@mes]

no effects as expanded is not linked directly to victory conditions.

[Eothese]

Fantastic!, this gives me a lot of potential for renaming Americas regions from native to their present day European ones. + Rep!

[Gigantus]

The region name remains the same as does the settlement name that the victory condition refers to - the parts in brackets. Only the display name gets changed.

[Augustus Lucifer]

Nice work J@mes Sensei! Will definitely be useful for my mod in some areas I'd imagine, that is if I could ever get my script changes to work beyond add_money .

Cheers,
Augustus

[Eothese]

@J@mes
Just given this a test and ran into a problem, I needed to add
{Constantinople}Constantinople into Expanded.txt or the script wouldn't fire.

[J@mes]

yes that's an out of date picture for expanded i'm going to update.

[J@mes]

updated

[Augustus Lucifer]

Interesting religion conversion script there. I could see using that to convert the Mongol Ilkhanate to Islam or similar.

A question about the settlement_name_change script. Is it possible to make it check for a date, rather than an owner? Currently in the province of Prussia there's the city of Twangste, but I want it to changed in the year that the Teutonic Order conquered it and established Konigsberg. The Teutonic Order however is not a faction(at least at current). Is this possible with a date, or does an emergent faction have to accompany it in order to make it possible?

Cheers,
Augustus

[GrnEyedDvl]

You can use it with anything. As long as you have a valid event or a valid condition that will give you true/false, you can execute the command.

[SigniferOne]

What's this "end_add_events"? I haven't seen that before.

[J@mes]

It just marks the end of an events structure.

[SigniferOne]

Oh oh, right I thought it's something else, never mind.

[The Border Reiver]

James well done with those scripts. Tell me is the use of retire_character a way to kill a character, or is this a separate command?

[J@mes]

I have not had a chance to fully test the retire_characters but it only seems to retire all character of that type in this case priest so i don't think it can be used to kill off a character.

there is the kill_character for that type of work but the character must be tagged with a label or the script must know the characters name.

[Eothese]

I'm unfamilliar with the convert religion event, if I use it to allow a faction to convert will I need to add that faction to the appropriate religious buildings in EDB?

[J@mes]

yes you can use a event_counter to trigger this like a switch for a tech tree i will update the tutorial tomorrow on this and explain.

[BozosLiveHere]

James well done with those scripts. Tell me is the use of retire_character a way to kill a character, or is this a separate command?

retire_characters will kill all characters of a given type from a faction. The command that works like kill character is send_character_off_map. You can use labels instead of character name with it.
