How to add a religion

[jp1747]

No, I didn't know about that. Where can I find map.rwm? Thanks you've been a ton of help!

[irishron]

Look in the base folder.

[jp1747]

It's all working now, thanks! All I will need to do in the future is change the look of the buildings.

[irishron]

You copy and rename the ones for Catholic until you get some made.

for some reason i can only do the first part of the code and every time i try to do the whole code my game just seems to shut off on the first loading screen. any help would be nice thanks .

[TheEvilEike]

im having problems finding some of the files mentioned (the pip files for example)
i do hav all files unhidden (yes i just checked again...) so i realy dont know what the problem is -.-

[Ishan]

You need to unpack the game first mate to see those files.

[TheEvilEike]

i know i have to unpack it, did that and still didnt find them....
had the same problem with some files i needed to make a new COA/skin for my faction general (i know that doesnt realy belong here)

[Ishan]

Check in VS folder:

Atleast it unpacked so we are getting there.
If the folder is not created there then i think windows is playing with you check the Virtual store folder found in C:\Users\Your user account name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore

or else do a search for .dds files in your computer.

[J-Plague]

What ended up being jp1747's exact issue? I'm getting the exact same issue, where the game will crash when loading, but works fine if I delete the export_descr_buildings entry.

Well, fine as in the game loads and plays.

[Sogdog]

How do I change the images for my new religious buildings. They are are default and I want them to have the same images already in the game as the other similar religions. Is it a case of copy and paste? If so where do look?

[Gigantus]

That will be in the C:\...\Medieval II Total War\mods\[your mod]\data\ui\[culture]\buildings folder

[majhorn]

I'm still have trouble with this i just cant figure out what im doing wrong I've got everything to work exept for the building upgrade i do this but the game just crashes on startup:

be great if anyone could help me out

[Gigantus]

Looks like you want to convert to a building name and not to a building tree:

convert_to celtic_small_church_castle

It probably would have to be something like this:

convert_to temple_celtic_castle

[majhorn]

I'l give it a go thanks

Just tested it, works perfectly now thanks

One more questions :

If I leave the priest as default (using catholic priest) will it still convert population to my religion ?

[Gigantus]

The recruitment line is connected to your definition of the priest model in the descr_characters file, which means that kind of priest model will be used.
Priests will always convert using their faction's religion, this is independent from the building that they get recruited in. You could make a priest recruitable in a brothel and he would still convert according to the faction's religion.

[majhorn]

A priest from a brothel lol, least I know now

[Otterbear]

I'm modding Custom_campaign2, and trying to make Poland Protestant, I have done everything but there is no \data\export_descr_buildings_enums.txt in this current mod. I would try to use the vanilla version, but I'm afraid I'll screw everything up. Can I just create one with my buildings in it?

[irishron]

You don't need it for Kingdoms mods.

[Otterbear]

Thanks Irishron. Now I have no excuse not to finish this project.
