How to call a crusade with papal state

[raine14]

where should i put this one? cant find the papal states in campagin files.
monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
set_faction_standing papal_states papal_states 1.0
end_monitor

[Withwnar]

In campaign_script.txt ... before this part will do:

        ; keep script unfinised until last monitor termination
	wait_monitors

end_script

If it isn't a mod then you'll need file_first=true in the config.

I've done instructions from this thread, but it does not works. What I did wrong ?

Nothing seems to work and you guys are not so precise. We all need clearer instructions, please helps us a little bit.

[Frogfoot9013]

This probably counts as thread necromancy, but does one have to be specific about how they place the text in the script, or can the text just be plonked in without needing to do stuff like adding tabs, etc.

Well for me it works like this:

go to: data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign and edit your file campaign_script.txt

and at the bottom above this:


; keep script unfinised until last monitor termination
wait_monitors

end_script

put this code line:

;papal_states
monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
set_faction_standing papal_states papal_states 1.0
end_monitor

Bloody hell, rule number one of writing guides:

TREAT YOUR AUDIENCE AS IDIOTS; you need to explain it step by step with screenshots. You can't just come in and here and go:"here's how" and hope to help the majority of people who have ZERO clue on modding.

[selv]

People who write tutorials assume that you know the basics, which are explained in other tutorials. Not because they think of readers as some genious that will guess everything, but because it save them tedious effort each time, and they assume that people will have at least looked at basic tutorials, since they, the writers, also did it when they had no clue.

When you say you have zero clue, does it mean you aren't set up for modding?
First, I never cared about the subject of this rather short tutorial, so I have no Idea if it works or not.
The idea is to make the pope love it's own faction, so it can't refuse him anything, and in theory it should work, I think, but crusades have a lot of hardcode, invisible and unmoddable, so it might only work in a partial way.

Download this to set you up for modding, if you aren't:

The version for kingdoms, not the base medieval2.

Go to:
mods\bare_geomod\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt
Open it with notepad++, never with the normal notepad
Make the papal states playable:

campaign		imperial_campaign
playable
	england
	france
	hre
	spain
	venice
	sicily
	milan
	scotland
	byzantium
	russia
	moors
	turks
	egypt
	denmark
	portugal
	poland
	hungary
        papal_states
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
	aztecs
	mongols
	timurids
	slave
end

Next, mods\bare_geomod\data\descr_faction_standing.txt
If you don't find this file, then you need to unpack your main game in a safe place and copy the file from there in to bare_geomod/data. Unpacking tutorial:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...cking-the-Game
Go to the end of the file, the last trigger should be:

;---------------------------------------------
Trigger 0109_Update_Marriages
    WhenToTest UpdateAttitude


    Condition NumFactionMarriages > 0


    FactionStanding target_faction normalise 1.0 20

Right below that, add this new trigger:

;------------------------------------------
Trigger 0110_Test_Crusade
    WhenToTest FactionTurnStart

    Condition  FactionType papal_states

    FactionStanding factions { papal_states } 1.00

That will make the pope love it's own faction at each turn_start, and MAYBE, it is enough to make him accept any available target you choose.
If you were to put a other faction name in the FactionType condition, the pope should also accept any crusade from them. In theory, if that is enough.
Else, it mean there is probably nothing to do, crusades being almost unmoddable and so on.

I tried with and without Bare-Geomod, and it doesn't work, I put all the lines that you gave and nothing happened I don't know what to do now, and honestly i'm bad at modding so can you explain me how to do it ?

[Librarian]

I do not want to do this on a "geomod" I want to mod this on my vanilla, and I will not make another geomod folder. I have simply made a copy of my original data as back up.
Please, tell me. How do we implement this on vanilla?

[Gigantus]

Bare Geomod is vanilla (default campaign) with a number of fixes, you are simply asking for trouble if you mod your default game. Like needing to modify the CFG file and making it read only so that the game accepts your edited files (SevenDay's problem I guess). Or it's a virtual store issue.

Because I am aware of all these pitfalls I am not supporting modding the main game. Not because I am the author of Bare Geomod - I made BG mainly because I got tired of fixing problems developing from modding the main game. Your precaution of making a copy of the data folder is commendable nevertheless.

I tried everything that everbody was telling in this thread and it doesn't worked I did what you tell me about the virtual store issue and didn't work too, i knew that a had to remove the read only so i did it before trying to play papal states, and unfortunately doesn't work too
