13 colonies to GB?

[TheBlobThing]

Hi all!

First of all, thanks for a wonderful mod Darth! Your tireless efforts has made me enjoy this game for much longer than I would have done with vanilla.

Well, on to my idea. I have absolutely no clue as to the amount of work this proposal would require, but I'd love to see a mod where the 13 Colonies are a part of GB from the start of the game.

France (and Iroquois) declare war on them within the first 5 or 10 turns, triggering a large conflict in Europe. It seems that they aren't taking GB's military power into account when declaring war, and I think if 13 Col. are GB they'd be more inclined to do that.

Any thoughts?

Any ideas about how much work that would take?

Anyone up for the challenge?

Oh, BTW I have absolutely zero knowledge about modding myself, hence my REQ preface to thread title...

What I'm looking for is a bit like this minimod:

No fog of war and protectorates, by notger

It gives you a choice between nobody getting their protectorates through missions ever, or protector gets protectorate immediately. Problem is, it removes FOW too (and I don't think it's DM compatible).

Is it feasible to make this compatible with DM without removing fog of war?

Any thoughts?

copy and paste (from 'No fog of war and protectorates, by notger' scripting.lua)

local function OnFactionTurnStart(context)
if conditions.TurnNumber(context) == 3 then
scripting.game_interface:enable_auto_generated_missions(true)
end

if conditions.FactionName("britain", context) then
scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("britain", "thirteen_colonies", 1, 1, context)
elseif conditions.FactionName("spain", context) then
scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("spain", "new_spain", 1, 1, context)
elseif conditions.FactionName("france", context) then
scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("france", "louisiana", 1, 1, context)
end
end




Over the top of (original scripting.lua):

local function OnFactionTurnStart(context)
if conditions.TurnNumber(context) == 1 then
if conditions.FactionName("cherokee", context) and conditions.FactionIsHuman("cherokee", context) then
scripting.game_interface:trigger_custom_mission("britain_protectorate", "cherokee", "capture_city", 0, "Acadia", "", "main_mission_capture_city_text", "main_protectorate_new_spain_reward", 2000, "", context)
end
elseif conditions.TurnNumber(context) == 2 then
if conditions.FactionName("britain", context) and conditions.FactionIsHuman("britain", context) then
scripting.game_interface:trigger_custom_mission("britain_protectorate", "britain", "protectorate_region_capture", 0, "georgia_usa+cherokee_territory+new_france", "", "mission_text_text_main_protectorate_thirteen_colonies_text", "mission_text_text_main_protectorate_thirteen_colonies_reward", 0, "thirteen_colonies", context)
elseif conditions.FactionName("spain", context) and conditions.FactionIsHuman("spain", context) then
scripting.game_interface:trigger_custom_mission("spain_protectorate", "spain", "protectorate_region_capture", 0, "trinidad_tobago+tejas+curacao", "", "mission_text_text_main_protectorate_new_spain_text", "mission_text_text_main_protectorate_new_spain_reward", 0, "new_spain", context)
elseif conditions.FactionName("france", context) and conditions.FactionIsHuman("france", context) then
scripting.game_interface:trigger_custom_mission("france_protectorate", "france", "protectorate_region_capture", 0, "michigan_territory+algonquin_territory+cherokee_territory", "", "mission_text_text_main_protectorate_louisiana_text", "mission_text_text_main_protectorate_louisiana_reward", 0, "louisiana", context)
end
elseif conditions.TurnNumber(context) == 5 then
scripting.game_interface:enable_auto_generated_missions(true)
end

if conditions.FactionName("britain", context) and not conditions.FactionIsHuman("britain", context) then
scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("britain", "thirteen_colonies", 6, 15, context)
elseif conditions.FactionName("spain", context) and not conditions.FactionIsHuman("spain", context) then
scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("spain", "new_spain", 6, 15, context)
elseif conditions.FactionName("france", context) and not conditions.FactionIsHuman("france", context) then
scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("france", "louisiana", 6, 15, context)
end
end

Has anyone tried this with dmuc? I replaced the scripting.lua in data/campaigns/main with notger' s scripting lua and waited til turn 2 but the 13 colonies are still a separate protectorate. Did I replace the right scripting .lua ? I can't open it to see if it says above wording.

edit
I finally got it to work. Notger's scripting.lua goes in data/campaigns/DMUC_Umain . I was trying it in the wrong ones.
The 13 colonies join GB on turn 2.Same for France and Spain with their colonies. No mission needed. Now I'll stat again with GB or Spain perhaps.Thanks for the link +rep

which part should i copy paste?

I made a backup of the original scripting lua in DMUC_Umain and replaced it with notger's no protectorates scripting lua and GB got the 12 colonies on turn 2.
