Looking for a fix to natural disaster & dead faction bug

[Koning Kaas]

I’m looking for a fix for two issues I have with the game. I have the steam version (1.52) including Kingdoms. I’m currently playing the grand campaign, but I assume these issues are in the Kingdoms expansion as well.

1. After a natural disaster, like a flood, the movement penalty in that province is permanent. It also prevents the building of watchtowers. Same bug was in RTW as well.
2. When a faction dies you’re at war with, the relations are not reset. Although the faction is no longer visible, it still affects diplomacy options with other factions, like forming alliances and giving a possible penalty to your reliability as well. My current workaround consists of making peace when they’re down to one settlement and then savescum them to death with assassins.

A patch, script or a how-to guide to fix these issues would be much appreciated.

1. I believe that is hardcoded, and the only solution is to disable floods altogether. I believe disabling them is as simple as navigating to your /data/world/map/base folder, opening descr_disasters.txt and changing the relevant values to false. (Credit)

2. I'm not familiar with that, so I'll leave it to someone else.

Thanks Frunk!

opening descr_projectiles.txt

I think you meant descr_disasters.txt, anyway that's the one where I've changed the flood setting to false.

Use bare geomod to play the vanilla game, even more if you want make further changes, minor or other. The flood disaster is already disabled:

For the dead faction bug, here is a script model, not for vanilla, so you will have to adjust the factions names:

Where next factions is, put similar if blocks for each faction, take the list from descr_sm_factions, and each time a faction is destroyed, next turn it's diplomatic stance will reset, fixing related diplomacy bugs. You do know campaign_script a little, right?

This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks very much selv!

You do know campaign_script a little, right?

No, absolutely zero experience with it. But I took a look it and looks fairly comprehensible. A few questions if I may:

1. I installed Bare Geomod, so I assume I need to make the changes to the campaign_script in the mod folder, and not the original, right?
2. Where in the campaign_script file should I put this script?

[selv]

1, Yes do any changes in the mod folder files.
2, Some scripts goes in the beginning for counters calculations, but the reset diplomacy script can go anywhere, I have it right before the wait_monitors at the end in my mod. Never put any scripts at the end after:
wait_monitors
end_script
and before at the beginning:
script

The rest shouldn't be a problem to reset the dead factions diplomacy stances, but ask if there is a other problem.

Whoops! Yep, descr_disasters. No idea how I messed that up.
