Trying to add family tree to Teutonic Order

[WRL]

I've always wanted to play the Teutonic Order, but the lack of a family tree, and the other things that separate it from a typical campaign always annoy me to the point I quite before I get to far into a game. I mean who's supposed to run the cites. And I really like how you have to build your governors or generals up with 6.o's education system, an don't want to miss out on that.

Well playing around I got the family tree into the Teutonic order, I can see it from the info screen at the bottom, 4 icons not three, and I can select it and go to the family tree roster. Problem is, there is only one person in the tree, the main leader I believe, even though you start with two generals he is the only one you see.

So what I'm wondering is, do I have to go in to some file and give him a bride to begin with so the family tree starts sprouting out, or possibly import a family tree from another similar faction? Perhaps if I'm more patient he'll be offered a bride?

I'd really like to solve this problem so any help would be great. Thanks.

If you look at other factions' descr_strat entries, you'll see at the end of the list of family members and agents there is a "relative" line such as this one from KoJ:

relative 	Jean de Brienne, Marie,	Alphonse de Brienne, Yolande, end

I believe you have to add a line like this for the family members of the Teutonic Order so that they appear related.

I've been looking for descr_strat and can't find it, even did a search for it.

[Caesar Clivus]

It's in the Stainless_Steel_6\data\world\maps\campaign\custom\Late_Era_Campaign directory

[WRL]

Thanks I found it, and am making the changes, hope all goes well!

[strife1013]

let me know what a princess looks like, IE what texture she is using

[userfri3ndly]

Oh she looks white and black. My princesses finally came of age.

Kinda like the KoJ except with black lined sleeves.

[WRL]

I can't get it to work, I've changed the info in smfaction from no to yes for the family tree, I've edited the desc_strat in late era campaign, but I always get a drop when I go to load a campaign...

Am I doing something wrong?

edit smfactions from no to yes for family tree and princesses.

Edit desc_strat and add a relative line, double space, next faction...

What am I doing wrong?

Probably trying to add to much, I was trying to add children and a princess. I've taken the children out, but left the princess and what I believe will be the Faction Leaders wife.

To be honest I also tried to add a family for the Teutons last week. I did everything wich others allready said here but I yust couldn't make it work, I didn't understand it either. I can inform you that the king will get a wife but the problem is another guy who isn't family is the heir so...

Hey, you probably don't know but you either need to add names to names.txt (in /data/text), descr_names_lookup.txt (in /data/), and descr_names.txt (in /data/); or just use some names that are already inside them.

If you are using my fix pack, you might want to swap that Factionleader with FactionleaderTO, and Factionheir with FactionheirTO

I am using the pack, and do you mean change to TO where I highlighted

[WRL]

Is this an exercise in futility, can't we change who the faction heir is somewhere in the code. Or a possible suicide run?

[gracul]

yes, change that to FactionleaderTO and FactionheirTO.
ah and here:
character Maximilian von Hohenstaufen, named character, male, heir, age 26, x 250, y 255
that is pointing out who the actual heir is.

[WRL]

are your names from the list you posted names already in the game?

[gracul]

yes.

[WRL]

wonderful, so a copy paste, and add TO in the appropriate area's and that should do the trick?

[gracul]

Yes, be sure to place it in late era campaign/descr_strat.txt

[WRL]

I'm still getting crashes, I've uninstalled everything, and retried piece by peace, installation is fine, fix is fine. I guess I'm putting this in wrong...

I start copying from the c in character and ensure two spaces before the start of a new faction???

Any thoughts as to what I'm messing up?

[userfri3ndly]

relative Gunther von Hohenstaufen, Eva, Maximilian von Hohenstaufen, Adelheid, end
relative Maximilian von Hohenstaufen, Anna, end

why do you have two relative lines with a reoccuring maximilian to boot?

sadly I do not use the "pack", but I have a completely fine teuton family. I don't know how much this will help but I posted the code here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=162383 . It's at least good reference for pre-pack family tree code. Then you can compare differences and rule out possible mistakes.
