--- The Great Campaign Expanded--- Faction Inclusion Mod

[Landwalker]

Zowrath: I'm not sure what you're suggesting. That I start a war and then try to bait whoever I'm at war with into capturing one of my cities? That I try to provoke somebody into declaring war on me? And what's the "Normal" version? Either way, I've seen the United States emerge in the unmodified Grand Campaign in the Carolinas -- I don't know how, but I assume that it was just a normal rebellion no different than if you had one in Hungary.

As an update: France has "assimilated" Louisiana, but New Spain is still a separate faction. We'll see what happens with all of that fairly soon, I imagine. Unfortunately I haven't gotten any missions yet to declare my independence.

How ridiculous would it be if there is such a mission, but it doesn't trigger until something like 1770?

Cheers.

[DeadlyBlowfish]

Eugh... I've been investigating the code structure of the file, the language they use is confusing at best (functions not working in succession, etc) A temporary fix is just to delete the takeover entry in your scripts file, but I'll see what I can do from a coding perspective.

Im so confused, delete this part?

I just got to 1706 and hit the same problem of the "Stuck on Britain" (and I've noticed that it's a different kind of "stuck" from the Prussia-Sweden stick). Still no luck on a mission or anything like that. (Edit: And New Spain is still separate from Spain.)

Good luck sniffing around, DB. I'm sure we all (by which I mean the two of us) are waiting with bated or baited breath.

Cheers.

Whoa. You have to wonder why they would even have "and not conditions.FactionIsHuman("thirteen_colonies", context)" if the Thirteen Colonies were, of course, never intended to be played.

And what does "context" mean in this... uh... context?

Cheers.

Because it's an addition made by DB, the original file looks like this:
end

scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("britain", "thirteen_colonies", 6, 15, context)

end

Oh. Duh.

The 6,15 thing must be a range of turns in which the handover randomly happens. After 15 turns, you would be at the end of 1708, I believe, so you wouldn't be able to "start" 1709. This could probably be verified by changing it to just "6,6" and seeing if it always locks up on the 6th turn. If that's the case, you could avoid the lockup by setting the range to something ridiculously distant, like "999,1000".

I wonder if it would be possible to add something like "If the Thirteen Colonies cease to be a protectorate of Great Britain, then change the faction 'Thirteen Colonies' to 'United States of America'."...

Cheers.

I changed the numbers to 999, 1000 and it seems to work like a charm now.

[DeadlyBlowfish]

That's one way to do it :-)

The only problem is that then none of the other American Protectorates get absorbed.


Hmm... these LUA files are hell.

[zowrath]

Zowrath: I'm not sure what you're suggesting.

a) That I try to provoke somebody into declaring war on me?

b) And what's the "Normal" version?

a) Yes And let them take a city. In the GC, if this happens the colonies seems to declare independence due to the cause that Britain can't protect them. Just a thought and a guess though.

b) Unmodified GC

[Landwalker]

Interesting... I'll take a crack at that, Zowrath.

Looking over the scripting LUA file, it looks like it would be possible to add mission events for the Thirteen Colonies based on declaring independence. The main snag, aside from the mission dialog text (you'd have to find what "mission_text_text_main_protectorate_new_spain_text" and the like refer to), would be figuring out how in the world to get the game to change "nation tags" from Thirteen Colonies to United States of America.

Cheers.

Edit: And of course the other American protectorates only don't get absorbed if you change the parameters for all three of the script events. If you only change "your" event, it should work fine.

[DeadlyBlowfish]

Indeed, I shall revisit the file later, in the meantime the solutions youguys have mentioned should work fine.

Alternatively, this is the code of my quick-workaround (disables absorbtion of all 3 factions by others)

Just a quick update on things that have been tried:

Since it's hard to provoke anybody into declaring war on me on their own, I started a war with the Cherokee and lost the Carolinas. No dice on changing factions / protectorateships though. Hopefully because I'm the one who started the war.

I also traded away Maine to France, but had no luck there, either. If losing a province gets you to "flip" to the United States, it's going to have to be in a defensive war, which aren't exactly easy to arrange.

Cheers.

Edit: I looked through the Scripting, but couldn't find anything there about "If the 13 Colonies lose a province in a defensive war, they flip to America." Still, there's a lot of crap out there I can't read through, so there's still hope. I'm going to start a new campaign and do everything I can to goad France or Iroquois into attacking me, and see how that works out.

Edit 2: France is entirely too friendly.

My copy is legal but It will not run correctly in steam (for some reason Steam causes a memory leak on my computer), After fiddling around with visual basic I ended up making my own little launcher that allowed etw to work without launching through steam. Do you think this mod would work with a exe launched from a seperate folder? (It isn't exactly a crack but please tell me if I should not talk about it..)

[BanditKS]

I really cant wait to see the update to this mod. its great fun to play.

[Tropical Coke]

I really hope I have the technical ability to perform this. Can someone give me a quick .zip extractor?

[Tyrionder]

uhmmm 7zip.... look it up on google or something.

[ModHunter]

Erm... Problem Encountered When The Game Is Downloaded Guys - I Extract It Into The Data File But When I Launch The Game From The Application It Runs Just As Normal.
Help Would Be Great Because I Don't Like The Current Playable Factions And Am Desperate To Play As Portugal...

-ModHunter

[Landwalker]

Well, it's the mid-17-teens right now and I haven't had any luck so far. I've provoked France into -300 relations, but they haven't declared war on me (Sweden declared a succession war on me (?!?!) but that doesn't help me much), so I haven't been able to lose a province in a defensive war.

I've also been poking my nose around the scripting.lua file and I think I have a rough idea of what might work, but I don't know the specifics on how to state it. Does anybody know what scripting command would result in "Give control of Faction X to the human player"?

Cheers.

[lordenforcer]

where do i save this to again? I cannot find the folder
