Thousans questions...

[Solon de Atenas]

Questions:

1- What´s this strange shadow? Is possible quit (maybe in preferences.txt)? (Image a,b,c)

2- Are there any complete guide about preferences.txt?

3- Someone know if could be possible quit or change the population grow effect in grain resource?

4- About storm disaster, when it had left to work? After 1.2...?

5- Is possible add more resorces to RTW?

6- Someone know all neccesary archives to change the roman culture for latins (for example)? I´m traying to add a three new faction with the senate slot, but when this appear in the game the roman faction have the senate button. It´s more easy change the senate internal name or the culture asociate to senate buttons?

7- After Empire Total War, do you think that is possible add naval battles to RTW?

8- If I want make public my mod, what could I do? I stealed a lot of things of the others mods and mixed by me for a huge modification...

1. That's the distance away from the camera where it stops rendering individual units and starts using sprites. The distance is configured in DMB. For example,

;;;;;----- Punic Skirmisher
type				punic_heavy_peltast
skeleton			fs_fast_javelinman, fs_fast_swordsman
indiv_range			40
texture				carthage, tic/data/7/models_unit/textures/carthage_heavy_peltast.tga
model_flexi					tic/data/7/models_unit/rtr_punic_skirmishers_high.cas, 15
model_flexi					tic/data/7/models_unit/rtr_punic_skirmishers_med.cas, 30
model_flexi					tic/data/7/models_unit/rtr_punic_skirmishers_low.cas, 40
model_flexi					tic/data/7/models_unit/rtr_punic_skirmishers_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite		carthage, 60.0, tic/data/7/sprites/carthage_punic_heavy_peltast_sprite.spr
model_tri			400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

2. google

3. don't know

4. something like that

5. If you mean more resource locations, yes. If you mean new resource types, idk.

6. not me

7. extremely unlikely (I'd say no, but who knows)

8. There is a special forum here where you can registered your mod and post a link to your site/download page. If you used other people's work, be sure to give them credit. And I hope you got their permission first.

1- So, the better distance to make disapear this horrible black shadow is...
If I incresed the number, the sprites model appear more far?

2- Ok, I´m trying, but only found one but this was too small and not contain all prefernces parameters.

3- For this question I would like get some information some day from someone, this question are eating my head...

4- Ok, only asked because I had my own theories...

5- About this question, I said if you can add new entries. There are about 26 resources type, you can put others like "specias"...

6- I need a good answer for this, thank anyway...

7- Only utopy, never mind...

8- I must get the permision for each thing stealed? Very hard...

1. It's shadows possibly created by the lighting on the battle map or a faulty model/texture, it could be the sprites, but to me it just looks like shadows from the pikes.

2. Yes, I think there's one located on the org, but if you google it you should find it.

3. Not possible.

4. I think it has been broken since initial release, I don't ever recall it working properly.

5. Not possible.

6. Look for the guide on how to add a new culture it will have most of the files; however, I think having a roman culture might be a hardcoded requirement

7. No, they're making a new game, not patching an old one

8. I would not even consider releasing the mod until you have received permission for every bit of stolen code/model/texture/picture you have taken. I personally would be very pissed if any of my hard work was used without permission, and I'm betting that so would just about every modder.

3- I think you can simulate this by increasing the base farming level in those provinces. This can be edited in the desrc_regions.txt located in your Data/Maps/Base folder.

Africa
Carthage
carthage
Poeni
202 191 17
grain, timber, olive_oil, slaves, elephants, camels
5
14

Bad example perhaps since Carthage already has high pop growth, but to increase it further just exchange 14 with a higher number.

[Solon de Atenas]

No, I want have less population grow in cities. I need quit this efect of grain resource to change it by other for example "species". I needn´t the grain population grow effect, I want to quit it... Anyway Thanks Mr. Kratos

[Rasui Runihura]

7. No, but people would likely make a Rome mod for Empires that includes Naval battles.

[Solon de Atenas]

I have another important question but I dont want open other topic...

So, I have a problem with my events. When I changed my map in RTR PE by the Mundus Magnus´ map the events not worked any more... I remenbered that I should change the coordenates of events (for example: Volcan eruption, plague, etc, I changed it.) but not work. Could be for the 4tpy script?? I added this add on later. So, I don´t remenber the exactly moment in which not worked any more but maybe when I changed the map...

Can somebody help with this??

THANKS BROTHERS

[HouseOfHam]

If you mean historical events, those are based on year/season, rather than turn number. If you expect them to happen on the same turn as before, you'll need to adjust the year offset in the descr_events.txt file.

The 4tpy does not affect map coordinates at all, it's the new map you've put in. For things like volcano eruptions, fix the coordinates and the year offsets in the descr_disasters.txt file.

[Solon de Atenas]

I know this, but my problem is other. I played RTR and I had my own project. My first changed was put a new map: Mundus Magnus map, but when I change the map the historical events no work any more. In historical events appear the date for the each event but the coordinates of volcan erupt too. I change this but the historical events not worked. So, I thought that is possible this problem for the 4tpy script, but really That problem happen when I changed the map. Do you know something...

Never appear the events in my campaing... it has dissapear...

[makanyane]

have a look in this thread:
http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showth...ight=disasters

I did get volcano to work from descr_events file though it didn't do any damage (see end of thread) - I had also put location of volcano in descr_disasters.txt as well though, try fiddling with that, it has co-ordinates and/or region names for volcano areas.

[Solon de Atenas]

But I haven´t a problem with the disasters. I said that since I changed the map of RTR, "ALL" events not worked any more. WHY? When I play the imperial campaing not happen: carthage spying, library in Alexandria, etna eruption, plague in Macedonia, Archimedes.. etc...
ALL EVENTS not occur in the campaing. this is my problem... but thanks for the other information

[makanyane]

ah I misunderstood, sorry

only things I can think of, the descr_events.txt file is in the wrong place - it should be in the folder with the descr_strat file for the campaign you are playing.

when you altered the file you did something wrong at the top of it so it isn't reading the events below any longer... try making a back up copy and then putting an original version of the file back in.

[Solon de Atenas]

For this reason I have the descr_events.txt in imperial_campaing and in base folder but nothing happend. My original version are RTR PE version but the coodinates for some historical events like etna eruption are differents (different map). My last solution are ask here... and for this reason I putted a copy of my descr_events here, you can see that all are in order. I saw this many times... maybe not can you see something strange?? THANKS MAKANYANE

[makanyane]

actually quote from original file:

event volcano eruption_at_etna
date 9 winter
position 104, 49

event plague plague_in_macedonia
date 14 winter
position 138, 67

event historic stoic_philosophy
date 14 summer

event historic hand_pump_invented
date 14 winter

event historic through_a_glass_clearly
date 34 summer

event historic archimedes_screw
date 44 winter

event historic greek_logic
date 54 summer

that has historic, plague, volcano etc, after event - your section does not seem to have that - was that not in the one you started working from?
That is from a patch 1.5 file

event eruption_at_etna
date 9 winter
position 104, 49

event plague_in_macedonia
date 14 winter
position 138, 67

event stoic_philosophy
date 14 summer

event hand_pump_invented
date 14 winter

which looks more like yours is from a version 1.2 file

are you using the right format for the patch you actually have installed?

[Solon de Atenas]

I´m working with 1.5 but the Mundus Magnus map have it own descr_events.txt. I copy the coordinates from there but in the file of RTR PE. Maybe I copied that wrong, I going to try... I´m going to put volcano, plague, etc

[Solon de Atenas]

Makanyane, you are right, the historical events happen again

THANKS
