Startpos.esf and Regions.esf

[husserlTW]

Files seem to be the same as in Napoleon so modding will be known up to point. Here is Hatakeyama faction made playable in the classic way. All elements are there but not shown though. End turn button also is not functional. I'll keep update with more news. Needless to say that I remembered forst Shogun, how these 20 years passed anyway?

Regarding the startpos.esf I noticed a difference between the region_slot_array in ETW and NTW, and S2TW. In ETW and NTW if a building has been built then the information in the 'building_manager' is as follows:

Building's health (100 = undamaged)
Building type
Faction owning this building
Faction's Government type

However in S2TW they've added another row at the start that represents the total number of buildings that have been built in the campaign (there are 298 preconstructed buildings at the start of S2TW). This may be to tell the AI when a castle has been upgraded because castles start out at level 1 or 2, so they have 4-5 empty building slots.

So in S2TW the region_slot_array is as follows:

Constructed Building Number
Building's health (100 = undamaged)
Building type
Faction owning this building
Faction's Government type

So for all modders if you're going to upgrade the starting position of a faction make sure to give the new buildings a 'Constructed Building Number' that isn't being used.

I made Portugal playable but it's located in a strange far place and i cannot see how can access the island. Can you give me infos how it is appeared in game because I have not met them in my game (I play slowly...)?

Also Important:

If somebody has a save with many regions conquered please upload it here so I can fix Fog of War.

Is it possible to make more factions playable in the full version then? Seeing as you have to click a coat of arms for it to pick a faction, i imagined there'd be some issues?

[husserlTW]

Yes it is, I'll make Shogun Total Factions with all playable.

[Froggie38]

Yes it is, I'll make Shogun Total Factions with all playable.

[Cainrae]

Yes it is, I'll make Shogun Total Factions with all playable.

[toluas]

Yes it is, I'll make Shogun Total Factions with all playable.

Husserl, use..

scripting.game_interface:grant_faction_handover("faction to give regions to", "faction to take regions from", 0, 0, context)

..to hand over the provinces of all the nations to the nation you want, you can thus create a savegame with all regions owned this way.
