[RS 2.5] Four turns per year - New Version 1.2

[century x]

The problem was that AntigonosDoson thought it would be more realistic to have 3xsummer and 1x winter.

It is no problem gameplaywise and it affects nothing, and I personally like it more with 2xwinter and 2xsummer.

So how does one change it to 3x summer and 1x winter

So how does one change it to 3x summer and 1x winter

Antigonos Doson wanted to upload his changed files, but it appears that he won´t do it.

Maybe I will make them, if I have time.

You could, of course, go into Data/Scripts/Backgroundscript.txt

and change manually every third winter into a summer. Like this:

console_command date 803
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 1068
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date 803
console_command season summer
while I_TurnNumber = 1069
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date 803
console_command season winter - change this into summer, for each year.
while I_TurnNumber = 1070
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

console_command date 803
console_command season winter - Don´t touch this one.
while I_TurnNumber = 1071
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

Yes, I know. Thats also how you can easily see if you messed the script up - it will go all the way to the last year.

So, how you save the game and reload it at later time, buddy?

So, how you save the game and reload it at later time, buddy?

Like always - save it normally.

Then, if you want to reload, press esc and the ? in the menu. This will deactivate the script. Do not click on any city or any button, as this will activate the script again.

Then go into the main menu. After that, you can freely load a save or start a new campaign.

If you want to be completely sure, it would be better to completely go out of the game and start it again.

But that was already neccessary for the normal backgroundscript, if you didn´t do this every time you save/reload, you messed it up and you would experience some weird things.

If you use the 4tpy-script, you will notice it immediatly if you mess the script up, as you either have only 2 turns per year or you go straight to the end date(i.e. to the year 853 AUC).

Thank you very much

Hi!

Sorry for the delay!

I promised I will do it, but managed to only today.

The link is here:

For the moment it's only for One turn campaign, but you can use it for any other too.

Be warned however: there is no garrison script in this background script. If you want to play RS2.5 with the garrison script, just copy the 4tpy part from my background script into yours.

Anyway, happy testing!

Is it savegame friendly AD?

[century x]

I wrote a program in C++ that generated text so I would not have to manually change every third summer. Saved me alot of time
I did not want to go through seven thousand lines of code

The power of programming

Is it savegame friendly AD?

Does anyone know?

[Desley]

Does anyone else gets the advisors message about the senatorial elections? I get it like every turn and I think it is caused by this submod.

Nah, it happens in unmodded RS2 twice as much.

[century x]

It is better playing with 3 summers and 1 winter.

[AntigonosDoson]

I do not know, if it's savegame friendly. I guess the background script itself is sg friendly, but the other files might up some things in the trait system...

What exactly does that program?

[century x]

What exactly does that program?

It was a program that generated the the 4 turn a year script. I altered it so that it generated 3 summers and 1 winter. I did not want to go through all the script and manually alter it so I just wrote a 47 lines of code program and it generated 7000 lines of a script. Saved me all that and I didnt have to worry about messing up.

IF you want I can upload the background script with the three summers and 1 winter. Its for Rome 0 turn Only thought. But I can generate others for other factions?

It's your call

I had it! but I actually see no problem with it. I feel as if it's totally RS 2.5

[Primo]

I have updated the OP with the new version. It features:
- Adjusted Roman elections.
- You can choose: Either 2 turns summer and 2 turns winter in a year, or 3 turns summer and 1 turn winter.

It is savegame compatible.

No, it isn´t. What you experienced were the standard elections. But download the new version, and they will appear only half as many times.

[GRANTO]

good work

[century x]

Now that the traits have been adjusted to 4 years.

This is an awesome AWESOMEE submod. I can now take my time and conquer in my own time

[Desley]

Thank you for updating this
