Problems with BHD's Mapping Method?

[Aradan]

No, superfaction can be used separately, no need for missions and popularity that's hardcoded with the "romans_senate" faction.

If you are not using religion, you could use the "dominant religion" event but that might be overkill...

[HiiMmyself]

I want the Missions to occur. I just want it so that the romans_senate faction can hand out orders to just the Julii and no other because there is no Brutii or Scipii. Is there any way that there can still be popularity with only one bar because there is only one faction? Also, can there still be elections?

[Aradan]

Ah, I see, sorry misunderstood. Yes, you will still have missions and elections afaik, everything will be as usual, except that only the factions with the "superfaction romans_senate" line (Julii) will get them.

Haven't experimented much with senate and the like, there are some hardcoded things involved. You'll have to find out yourself.

[HiiMmyself]

It crashes when the map is loading. I wonder if you do need all three? (I could be doing it wrong too)

Does it crash if you outcomment the superfaction line?

[HiiMmyself]

nope, it loads perfectly without the superfaction line...

[Aradan]

Let's see... The factions have the same culture? Can't think of any other catches atm, your coding looks fine.

[HiiMmyself]

When you say culture, you mean the faction culture such as roman: romans_julii, scipii, brutii, senate. Or do you mean the settlement/region culture? Or both? Or anything different?

[Aradan]

The culture of the factions, in descr_sm_factions.txt

[HiiMmyself]

they are the same. hmm... want to see the full descr_strat.txt?

[Squid]

first of all, where the senate section? second comment out the script, there no point adding extra complications until the map is working properly on its own.

[Aradan]

Try keeping the vanilla order of coding the factions (ie slave last) - and what Squid said.

[HiiMmyself]

now take a look at it (and whoops to the part about the missing superfaction line, forgot that i copied the working one without it.)

[Squid]

Unless you copied incorrectly you have the slave faction in there twice.

[HiiMmyself]

Now try, and if there is any other erros, I might jsut have to get a brain scan.
