    I note that the legal status of hardcoding may be discussed seriously (it's not banned by default, so no one belive it's a facist site haha);

    Well hello folks

    I would like to ask if someone could explain to me how or what to change in which file to fix the "problem" with ancillaries saying they would reduce squalor but not doing so? or maybe you could point me somewhere where I can find an answere to this question. I Allready tried changing lines in the export_descr_ancillaries.txt but I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or miss something but it won't work (in this case i tried Thranduil who should reduce squalor by 3 points but only did by 0,5 in Thranduils Halls)

    i think those act on an .xml document with pip modifiers if they do at all ... settlement_mechanics maybe? i have forgotten i am off to check lol

    Changing the properties of ancillaries mid-game can be a little tricky. If you hand the ancillary to another charater for one turn and then give it back it should work. As Knight said there are some paramerters defined in descr_settlement_mechanics (and the descr_campaign_db) files but it should (i'm currently verifying this) have no influence on this. Make you changes in the EDA file and please do not forget to correct the text entry as well

    edit: just search for "squalor" in EDCT and EDA

    You'll need to edit export_ancillaries.txt in the data\text folder so it corresponds to the changes you've made in export_descr_ancillaries. When you're done, delete the export_ancillaries.txt.strings.bin file so the game can regenerate the new, edited one.

    Hi Reeth!

    Don't know if you're looking for a guide on ancillary making/ editing but if you are I recommend taking a look at Swagger's "How To: The Ancillary Guide". It's a great step-by-step walkthrough that covers every aspect of what you'll need to edit or create new ancillaries.

    Edit: Also a note on effects such as squalor, law, and movement points: the bonus percentage you see in-game might not directly mirror the number of points given in the ancillary code. Ex: law bonus 1 equates to a 5% law bonus in-game.

    Just a fast guessing; have you checked the "hidden_resource" line? What makes AoE units recruitable locally is the line "hidden_resource Edoras" (for ex), removing hidden_resource line will make them recruitable everywhere.

    Just don't ask me where this line is, I bet export_descr_unit but makes like 1 year I don't put my hands into editing MW2 :S

    The hidden_resource line for a settlement is added in base/ descr_regions.txt.

    Before the new resource is added to descr_regions you will first need to add it to the hidden_resources list at the top of export_descr_buildings.txt.

    Default Adding Hidden Resources

    Hey guys, I'm making a miniature add-on for MOS that allows Gundabad to build a Rhudaur Barracks. I want to make the Rhudaur units AOR so I am attempting to add hidden resources to the recruitment regions.

    I loocked up the online guides for adding them and I think I am doing it correctly, but the barracks doesn't show up when I include the hidden_resource requirement. I added the "rhudaur" resource to the correct places descr_regions, as well as to the top resource list in descr_strat and (obviously) to the Rhudar Barracks constriction requirements. I know that the building works without the resource condition AND it works under other resource conditions, but for some reason not under this one. Is there annother file where the resources have to be defined? Do I have to do something like setting the file to "Read Only?"

    Thanks for the help. This version of the add-on won't be much, but in the future (this summer?) I hope to do more with Angmar and Gundabad (To the extent that a newb like me can).

    Hrm...sounds like you have everything right. I bet you need to delete your map.rwm in the /base folder so that the map can re-generate with your new hidden_resource. If that doesn't do it post here again and we'll take a look at specific files.

    as far as i am aware MOS has maxed the hidden resources .. you would have to ask Stylix to confirm .. but i suggest you do because if the hidden resource list is maxed this won't work and your wasting your time

    MOS 1.41 has 63, max is 64, so he's golden as long as he's only adding one.

    All working! Thanks! Just had to delete that darn Maps.rwm fine. It seems like that thing is responsible for every bad thing that happens in this mod . Thanks a ton!

    I was also wondering if there is a tutorial out there for packaging and uploading a mod such that other people can easily use it? I hope to make this compatible with both MOS and Vanilla, but to do that I would need to only copy MY building into descr_buildings without changing anything else. Is there an easy way to do this?
