Campaign Script Optimizations

[Melooo182]

Trying to optimize the campaign script

we shall use this thread for discussing possible tweaks and ideas sharing

Starting with Faction Killer Workaround section
Discussion from other thread, is quite long

About "Faction Killer Workaround" section in the campaign_scripts:

a) Since papal_states and teutonic_order are indestructible, it is meaningless to have monitors and triggers for the FactionKillers of these factions. This means 4 less monitors in campaign script and two triggers in the ECDT file.

b) Withwnar has posted this tutorial http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...3#post13890413 about the Faction destroyed event. I like it, it is more efficient than the one in SS v6.4. I wrote and tested this script as substitute of the old one (SS v6.4):

Then, in the ECDT file, the section which contains all the triggers that affect trait FactionKiller was replaced with only these four:

 Condition IsFactionLeader
       and I_EventCounter factionsdestroyed > 3

I tested by killing all the family members of a faction via script -during the start of a turn of the local faction. A "faction destroyed" message poped up; next turn my faction leader had the "conqueror" in his traits' list.

Hmmm after further inspecting that script, i think it wouldnt work good with re-emerging factions, as once it determinates a faction is dead it terminates that monitor so if that same faction comes back again later and gets killed it will not be taken in account.

Some tweaking is necessary in order to work with re-emerging factions. Here is an example with venice and sicily. After each re-emerge, the corresponding counter(venice_is_dead etc) should be set to zero.

;============== FACTION KILLER WORKAROUND ===============
declare_counter venice_is_dead
declare_counter sicily_is_dead
; you can declare a counter for every destructible faction

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart TrueCondition
    set_event_counter factionsdestroyed 0
end_monitor


monitor_event IncomingMessage IncomingMessageType faction_defeated

    if I_CompareCounter venice_is_dead = 0
        set_counter venice_is_dead 1
        if I_FactionLeaderAttribute venice Command < 999 ;they are alive
            set_counter venice_is_dead 0
        end_if
        if I_CompareCounter venice_is_dead = 1  ;yes, they are dead
            inc_event_counter factionsdestroyed 1
        end_if
    end_if

    if I_CompareCounter sicily_is_dead = 0
        set_counter sicily_is_dead 1
        if I_FactionLeaderAttribute sicily Command < 999 ;they are alive
            set_counter sicily_is_dead 0
        end_if
        if I_CompareCounter sicily_is_dead = 1  ;yes, they are dead
            inc_event_counter factionsdestroyed 1
        end_if
    end_if

 ; you can do the same for all other destructible faction

end_monitor

Actually, this monitor could be a better idea even if we have no re-emerging factions .

Another example: Let's say venice can re-emerge only once and an event_counter named venice_is_alive_again is set to 1 when this event takes place. Then the monitor for the destruction of venice can be this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

monitor_event IncomingMessage IncomingMessageType faction_defeated
    and I_CompareCounter venice_is_dead = 0

    set_counter venice_is_dead 1
    
    if I_FactionLeaderAttribute venice Command < 999 ;they are alive
        set_counter venice_is_dead 0
    end_if

    if I_CompareCounter venice_is_dead = 1  ;yes, they are dead
        inc_event_counter factionsdestroyed 1
if I_EventCounter venice_is_alive_again = 1
terminate_monitor
end_if
   end_if

end_monitor

Actually think the ceasedfactionleader and becomesfactionleader would be quite useful for setting up a global check of factions alive, AFAIK is the only true accurate way for a "real-time" check.

So instead of having them embeded within the factionkiller workaround, they could have their own section running the whole campaign and providing accurate "event counters" for external uses like EDCT/EDA/EDB/EDG

so the factionkiller workaround could look like this:

declare_counter venice_died
    ...etc rest of factions

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart TrueCondition
    set_event_counter factionsdestroyed 0
end_monitor

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal

    if I_EventCounter Ceased_venice = 1 ; dead before player's turn, value from global faction status check
    and I_CompareCounter venice_died < 1
        set_counter venice_died 1
    end_if
    if I_EventCounter Ceased_venice = 0 ; alive again?
    and I_CompareCounter venice_died >= 1
        set_counter venice_died 0
    end_if
    ...etc rest of factions

end_monitor

monitor_event IncomingMessage IncomingMessageType faction_defeated

    if I_EventCounter Ceased_venice = 1
    and I_CompareCounter venice_died < 1  ;yes, they just died this turn
        inc_event_counter factionsdestroyed 1
    end_if
    ...etc rest of factions

end_monitor

what do you think?

About the real time check, it's a matter of discussion that deserves a new thread or joining a discussion in the Mod Workshop (I'll PM you a question relevant to this). Sure thing is that the "IncomingMessage" monitor fires only when a faction gets destroyed, while the ceasedfactionleader and becomesfactionleader monitors fire more times.
Event_counters for externals uses can be included easily in the faction killer workaround. This too needs more analysis. I'll a brief example for my claim:
Venice is a living faction from the begining of the campaign until it dies (of course we can resurrect them; then they are alive from the moment of their ressurection until they die again). So, it is a matter to detect the moment of death. I'll use a event_counter to detect if they are alive or dead and a simple monitor like the ones in the "new" faction killer workaround script I described previously for detecting their death:

declare_counter faction_is_dead ; default value 0, dummy counter only used in this section, as for elsewhere we'll use the Cease_venice etc
 set_event_counter Cease_venice 0 ;they are alive in the begining of the campaign. We can omit it in several cases, depends on where we want to use it
 
monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart TrueCondition
     set_event_counter factionsdestroyed 0 ; An event counter I use in ECDT for the triggers about Trait FactionKiller
end_monitor

monitor_event IncomingMessage IncomingMessageType faction_defeated
     and I_EventCounter Cease_venice = 0  ; or "and not I_EventCounter Cease_venice = 1" 

         set_counter faction_is_dead 1
         if I_FactionLeaderAttribute venice Command < 999 ;they are alive, bear in mind this is a "free" condition, can be used in several tests 
            set_counter faction_is_dead 0
        end_if
         if I_CompareCounter faction_is_dead = 1  ;yes, they are dead
set_event_counter Cease_venice 1 
inc_event_counter factionsdestroyed 1
       end_if
end_monitor

So, if I_EventCounter Cease_venice = 0, this means venice faction is alive; if I_EventCounter Cease_venice = 1, then venice faction is dead. If resurrected, they need a command "set_event_counter Cease_venice 0" to be included in that script. These two values of the event_counter Cease_venice can be used externally too.

Now about the script you wrote: I suppose we set the Ceased_venice event_counter in the"Faction Killer Workaround" section, aren't we? Since we have the Ceased_venice event_counter, what is the use of the (simple) counter venice_died?

True, I suppose emerging factions like mongols would need a monitor and condition for their Cease_faction event counter, maybe factionturnstart FactionType faction and a terminate monitor.

Yep I like it, is much more streamlined like this
will include it in the bugfix compilation after some tests
and afterward tweak VivaLaRebelion for adding the set_event_counter Cease_faction 0

I wrote about a question in the post. I had some cases in mind. To cut a long story short: when the CeasedFactionLeader event takes place, the FL is still alive and, so, it is his faction. The question is if there can be an event between the CeasedFactionLeader and the destruction of the faction. If this is the case, then setting the event_counter for the death of the faction (for example set_event_counter Ceased_venice 1) in a monitor for the CeasedFactionLeader event can lead to a bad "real time" check...

I dont know when ceasedfactionleader actually happens, if its after the character dies, during or just before, in game it all appears to be simultaneous, same as faction destroyed.

There is still a thing that doesnt satisfy me about the script and is about what happens when the faction is killed outside player's turn, I think the faction_defeated message does not fires until player's turn starts, right? if so, then faction that was destroyed outside the player's turn will have to wait until player's turn to update the Ceased_faction value...a whole deal of possibilities missed during AI turns :/

[k/t]

Have you read this: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...8#post11879768 ?

Maybe you can get some more ideas from him.

It seems you are right! Playing as Scotland, I used the "surrender_regions kwarezm" command during England's turn. Finally, only Scotland's king gained points of FactionKiller (actually, he gained two levels while the command run once ), while the english king gain none. I'll keep testing, as I found some other peculiar things about the destruction of a faction. I'll report back if I have something different. I'll check also about the event_counters you said.

[Melooo182]

Oh that too, i was thinking 1st that the factionkiller trait was supposed to be for the player only
giving all that i think we should keep it as it was but with one small change that could make it work with your EDCT tweak

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart TrueCondition
    set_event_counter killed_factions_count 0

    ;we don't want to reset Ceased_faction each turn, as the killed_factions will be used for FactionKiller trait triggers 
end_monitor


monitor_event CeasedFactionLeader FactionType venice
    inc_event_counter killed_factions_count 1
    set_event_counter Ceased_venice 1
end_monitor
monitor_event BecomesFactionLeader FactionType venice
    inc_event_counter killed_factions_count -1

    set_event_counter Ceased_venice 0; when the campaign start faction leaders get assigned thus triggering this
end_monitor

I think like this should work fine, still don't know if the transition from CeasedFL to BecomesFL is flawless but it there seems to be nothing between them. the downside is that there are no way of condensing all in a single monitor, as I've read it elsewhere before like in the link K/T posted, less monitors with lots of IFs is always better than many monitors...so no much gain in processing will be done here aside the reduction of triggers in the EDCT.

[gsthoed]

I am testing the transition for CeasedFL to BecomesFL in some extreme senarios. If it works, this script of yours has the benefit of providing event_counters for the destruction of each faction the moment it takes place. One question though: does the BecomesFl fires when a faction emerges or re-emerges?

[Melooo182]

Haven't tested that but it does for starting factions in turn 0, I found that out when was testing the traits for Civil Unrest, part of KER submod. I had to add the I_TurnNumber > 0 condition so they didn't fired at the start of the campaign whith starting Faction Leaders...so i suppose BecomesFL also kicks in when a horde faction emerges...and by extension when a faction re-emerges too...i need to confirm this though.

[gsthoed]

I can confirm this. Playing scotland, at the start of England's turn I killed the last member of kwarezm faction and ran a "Teutonic Order Emergent" script, while monitoring BecomesFL - CeasedFL for only Kwarezm and teutonic_order. The event_counter killed_factions_count can't work in these situations and that's why we have so many triggers for the trait FactionKiller in the EDCT. Maybe we need two event_counters for each faction; one resetting in each prefactionturnstart and one not....

[Melooo182]

maybe this can work then

declare_counter venice_died
monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart TrueCondition
    set_event_counter killed_factions_count 0; used for FactionKiller trait triggers
    set_counter venice_died 0; Reseted every turn
end_monitor


monitor_event CeasedFactionLeader FactionType venice
    if I_CompareCounter venice_died = 0

It seems ok. Nevertheless, I cannot understand the use of the "if" in the CeasedFL monitor.
I think these new counters can be applied in the Player notifications of death of leaders; I' ll try this later.

[Melooo182]

you mean it could be like this?

monitor_event CeasedFactionLeader FactionType venice
    inc_event_counter killed_factions_count 1
    set_event_counter status_venice 1; replaces Ceased_venice, not emerged=0 dead=1 alive=2
    set_counter venice_died 1
end_monitor
monitor_event BecomesFactionLeader FactionType venice
    if I_CompareCounter venice_died = 1; this should filter emerging/re-emerging
        inc_event_counter killed_factions_count -1
    end_if
    set_event_counter status_venice 2
end_monitor

I think i'll make venice_died an event counter as well just for shortening the codelines, because of laziness xD
there's no drawback, performance impact in that right?

I don't know if there's any performance impact. If there is, I believe it is negligible.
Usually, when I see an event_counter, I suspect it might be used in other file. Besides, you can't avoid the "resetting" the "venice_died" counters in every PreFactionTurnStart...
Just name it "died_venice" etc instead of "venice_died" and batch rename the old "Ceased_venice" counters .
Furthemore, in order to avoid the first monitor (the one that sets the counters to zero), we can use the monitors in the "Is the AI?" section of the CS
I 'll do all this stuff and I' ll post it here when ready.

What really bothers me is that I cannot think of any use for the new "status_venice" event_counters in the "vanilla" SS6.4, except -maybe- in the "death of leader" section of "Player Notifications" in the CS...

[k/t]

What does this FactionKiller stuff do anyway? It's a trait for Faction Leaders?

[Melooo182]

yeah, it adds extra authority and dunno if something else

@gsthoed: sounds good

[gsthoed]

FactionKiller is a trait for Faction Leaders. It adds to Authority, Command and dread. It used to be triggered when a faction leader destroyed an enemy faction.
Last versions of SS, it is triggered when the last faction leader of a faction dies during a faction's turn.

Our purpose here was a) to have less triggers that affect the trait in the EDCT and b) to define event_counters that "informs" us if a faction is "alive" or has been destroyed (or, simply, to define the exact moment a faction get destroyed)

In the attached file, there are the result of this discussion so far. The tweaked parts of the campaign_script, along with the changes to EDCT, are showed in 3 sections:
a) changes in "Is the AI?" section of campaign_script.
b) changes in "Faction Killer Workaround" section of campaign_script.
c) changes in the EDCT.

Note: Monitors, counters etc for papal_states and teutonic_order are disabled by default, as these factions are indestructible.

[Melooo182]

well TO will be destructible with upcoming Bugfix Comp i can add that part when compiling the stuff

One of the reasons I didn't erased tha part. Nevertheless, I worry about the condition "not having family members requires them to have this": Even without family members, TOs can do a lot of things: they can have settlements (and maybe recruit generals), they're priests keep on spreading their faith (and they can become cardinals) etc. I'm looking forward for v1.25.

Now, on topic: Some tweaking on the "Great People Ancillaries". Nothing fancy: Ifs that were refering to the same I_TurnNumber (two pairs in each CS) are merged, a separate monitor for I_TurnNumber = 0 was created and monitors are terminated after the last command is issued. Melooo182 may have already prepared something like this for the upcoming version of the Bugfix Compilation; I am posting it here as it fits to the topic and, just in case, to save him some time.

Here is a reworking of the "Merchant&Priest&Ship Support Spawn" section. The changes are quite obvious. Now the conditions
if I_IsFactionAIControlled <faction>
and I_NumberOfSettlements <faction> > 1

are tested only when they should, instead at every (Pre)start of slave_faction's turn. And the big bad monitor terminates after the last command has been run (I_TurnNumber = 140), instead at I_TurnNumber = 120.

Great work on these

btw TO faction destroyed workaround only kills them if they've lost all settlements and don't have any general left, so should be without trouble. Remaining agents (priests/merchants/etc) either are killed or turned into rebels.

I have an improvement for great peoples script

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
	set_event_counter peter_the_hermit_in 1
	set_event_counter pierre_abelard_in 1
	terminate_monitor
end_monitor

that way they're available from the start of the campaign as was intended i suppose
no conflict with Hotseat as player 1 is always human anyway, and once is triggered the terminate_monitor prevents it from firing again

i'm also ordering it by death date, so it's a little bit more human readable hehe

[Grabbin_Megroin]

well TO will be destructible with upcoming Bugfix Comp i can add that part when compiling the stuff

Oh man that's great. Is it going to be save game compatible? If not I'll hold off on starting my new campaign so I can play without worrying about the TO ruining everything.

Can't wait to see this!

If you want these ancillaries to be available from the start of the campaign, you can simply simply set these event_counters to 1 instead of 0 in the part above that monitor.
Note these ancillaries are available only to HRE and England respectively. I believe it was intented to be available from the second turn.

One small detail I noticed today (but I didn't bothered -yet- to do anything about this): In early campaign, it is "monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType slave". In late campaign it is "monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionType slave". If the case is the former, then generals that die (by disaster like earthquake etc) or turn into rebels in this time space and rebel generals (if the trigger in EDA is in CharacterTurnStart) are excluded, which is nice, as these ancillaries are unique.
