Selecting the heir

Heeding the call for action, I set to task and implemented the 'selecting the heir' script of miguel_80 for SSHIP. While at it I also tinkered with other stuff as can be seen at the screenshot:



1. Change of font color, the font itself is available at my other mini mod.
2. All body text starts now lower to separate text from picture
3. The body text has increased contrast (my eyes were having a really bad day with the old contrast)

I also disabled the flood disaster as it permanently disables the building of watch towers and permanently reduces movement in the afflicted region.
Additionally I corrected minor errors in the script (missing logic tokens) and 'prettified' the layout with squid's tool.

Simply extract the download into the main folder of the SS6.4 directory (7Zip is freeware)

NOTE: changes will only come into effect at a new game.

[nikossaiz]

Great!!!!!!! and the fonts saved my eyes!! thanks!!

[Gigantus]

One is glad to be of service

[Marplatense]

Good feature. Thanks.

is this also useable with vanilla and kingdoms?

[Lifthrasir]

No, as the factions are different. You need to update the relevant files with the right factions' names.

will look on how to do this when my studies are over

[Lifthrasir]

The 2nd link in the OP is directing to the tutorial made by miguel_80. That should help you

[Gigantus]

The factions don't really have an impact in this (as long as they have a 'normal' family tree), it's the several edited files that are not the same as in SSHIP:

data\export_descr_character_traits.txt
data\text\export_vnvs.txt
data\text\historic_events.txt
data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\campaign_script.txt

The best idea is to simply go via the tutorial as Lifthrasir suggests. You may wish to grab the descr_event_images file from this download to get the green title and the dark body text in the messages.

Always on top, Gig

Wanted to ask you can your heir mod do for fashion DLV?

[Lifthrasir]

No, SSHIP and DLV are 2 different mods with their specificities. You have to follow the tutorial and make it specifically for DLV.

could you further explain " Simply extract the download into the main folder of the SS6.4 directory "? Also im having trouble finding the main folder of the ss6.4

[Lifthrasir]

The link gives you a zip file containing a folder name data, itself containing the relevant files.
If you go to the game directory, you should have a folder named mods in which you'll find a folder named SS6.3 (with a data folder as well).
So basically, unzip the data folder in the SS6.3 folder and accept to merge these 2 data folders.

Hope I'm clear. If not, let me know

Edit: not save game compatible. You need to restart a campaign.

earlier pist you said to extract in the ss6.4. Is it the 6.3 data folder that the select heir need some to be extracted? If that is the case...I copied the zipped select heir file. Pasted it inside the mod/ss6.3/data folder. I RIght clicked and extracted. There wasn’t a notification of needing to accept a merge. And I went into th s game...which is running without issue, but there wasn’t a chsgce to select next heir on the first turn.

[Studsen]

do i need to go into the select next heir folder and drag each file on the the corresponding existing file?

Edit: ok i got it figured out. thanks for your help

[Pyres Δt Varanasi]

Love it!

Hey Gig, any chance of maybe in the possible future add another great script by Miguel_80 into SSHIP, the "Script for annexing a faction/territory by marriage ties"?

[Gigantus]

You're asking the wrong guy - I am just a bug hunter where SSHIP is concerned. Contact Lifhtrasir or any of the guys listed as team members for SSHIP.

[Lifthrasir]

Thanks for the "present" Gig

On a serious note, the "Selecting the Heir" will be implemented/included to the next release. Regarding Miguel_80 script, I'd like to implement it to SSHIP as well but that will be for a later release.
