4tpy for 6.4?

[Sir Walter]

Started a new one.

[PapaRosario]

Try starting a new campaign with the campaign_script you uploaded before I changed it and see if that still causes an unspecified error.

[Sir Walter]

Now it just CTDs on main loading screen. I'm going to clean install again now...

Everything now works except people still age too fast. Attached is the campaign script found in C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\SS 6.3\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\campaign_script.txt

[PapaRosario]

After you do a clean install, try to start a new campaign and make sure it works before making any changes to any files.

[Sir Walter]

Yeah I started a new campaign, all that was wrong was my Caliph ageing 4 years during the year 1100.

[PapaRosario]

Did you modify any of your files?

[Sir Walter]

Since clean installing I've only modified campaign_script and descr_strat as per GrnEyeDvl's instructions for 4tpy.

[PapaRosario]

Can you give me the original unmodified campaign_script. The last one you uploaded had GED's script in the wrong location in campaign_script. If you give me the original unmodified one it would be easier for me to fix.

[Sir Walter]

Here's the original one.

[PapaRosario]

Should fix the aging to 4 TPY.

[Sir Walter]

Thanks a lot, will try out now

Edit: back to unspecified error. Even if I go back to original campaign_script. So it's kind of weird now.

[PapaRosario]

I think I'm going to have to give up. I really have no idea why that's happening. Doesn't make sense to me.

[Sir Walter]

Sorry thanks for trying anyway

Okay, I reinstalled and saw that the "_original" files (i.e. those I'd already renamed) were still in the directory, so old screwed up files from previous installations must've been left in. So I deleted everything, then reinstalled and manually moved the ageing script from your version of campaign_script on top of the ageing script in the 6.4 campaign_script. And it works! I promise to rep you when TWC lets me again

I'm so used to Stainless Steel that I forgot 2 TPY is the default in vanilla!

It's not. The default is 2 YPT. The generals age by one year every two turns, though.

[Danielson]

As a noob, could someone provide me with a step-by-step guide how I turn Stainless Steel into 4tpy? It will be much appreciated!

Go to Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

In campaign_script.txt, find this part of the file.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

;=================== AGEING SCRIPT ======================
declare_counter season
declare_counter turn
set_counter turn 0

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType slave
console_command season winter
set_counter turn 1
end_monitor

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart I_CompareCounter turn = 1

inc_counter season 1
if I_CompareCounter season = 1
console_command season summer
end_if

if I_CompareCounter season = 2
console_command season winter
set_counter season 0
end_if

set_counter turn 0

end_monitor

And replace it with this

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

;=================== AGEING SCRIPT ======================
declare_counter quarter
set_counter quarter 1 ;set to January

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal ; set the season for each quarter
if I_CompareCounter quarter == 1 ;Jan, Feb, March
console_command season winter
end_if

if I_CompareCounter quarter == 2 ;April, May, June

end_if

if I_CompareCounter quarter == 3 ;July, Aug, Sept

end_if

if I_CompareCounter quarter == 4 ;Oct, Nov, Dec

end_if

inc_counter quarter 1 ;advance the quarter
if I_CompareCounter quarter == 5 ;start a new year
set_counter quarter 1
end_if
end_monitor

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType slave
and I_CompareCounter quarter > 1
console_command season summer
end_monitor

In descr_strat.txt, Ctrl+f for "timescale" and change the value of it to 0.25.

And then start a new campaign.
