[DaC] Alliance via external script

[Intra]

Hello!

I'm trying to backdoor missing alliance option* with some "show-me" type script (perhaps?). Problem is, i don't know how to execute that. Basically i need this line working: "console_command diplomatic_stance mongols ireland allied". Easy-peasy, but it's "DaC" with missing advisor button (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post15369476).

Any hope for a fool like me?

* - "TATW", "DaC", I'm playing as North Mirkwood Elves. Khazad Dum had alliance with Lorien and tried my patience to no avail. And so Lorien are blocked.

What is this missing alliance option? Did this Dac removed alliance or something else? I don't know about show me, but a campaign script won't be save game compatible. I don't get what you mean but if you want a option at will for forcing alliance outside the diplomacy scroll, either a yes/no event when you press a button, or a shortcut triggered any time but it won't be good on your current save. You might as well restore the missing alliance then?

Sorry I don't give example but I ain't sure that what I have in store is what you want, and it might need a monitor for every faction then?

Khazad Dum was destroyed but not their alliances (dead faction bug). Lorien was one of their allies. In such scenario, Lorien's "alliance" option (diplomatic scroll) is not available. Permanently. "DaC" has very sad diplomatic settings; Reputation, relationships, gifts, all the courtesy and Power are utterly useless. It's either alliance Or war. And i really wanted Lorien on my side. Well, i doesn't matter much now .

"show-me" is an old method and potentially harmful. Still... It's working with saves, no problem with that.

All i'm asking is additional function wired with... anything really. An alternative to diplomacy advisor.

I see, the dead faction bug, I thought it was a missing option in your mod. Sorry. For future, what you need is a reset diplomatic stance in the campaign script.

It prevent the dead faction bug but you will need to adjust it to your mod, replace factions internal names, and start a new game. Don't know the advisor well enough to say more or what Dac did to remove it.
