Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
I tried using the 12 turns per year script for Kingdoms. The characters age perfectly. However the year changed from 1173 to 1174 in the 7th turn. and then to 1175 in the 19th turn. Is that ok, as after the 7th turn, year changes every 12 turns but only for the first year it takes 7 turns?

Did you set the entry for game start in descr_strat to winter?

Yes

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
That's how it should look, otherwise I wouldn't know why yours changes after six turns.
start_date 1173 winter
end_date 1548 winter
timescale 0.0834

That sounds very likely. If the unit is not available in the EDU, then you will get an error.

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
The entries need to be added to the various files as described in the included readme file.

Am I just supposed to replace the campaign script with the 12 turns campaign script?

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
No matter where I copy it, characters still age for the turns, and it turns to summer in turn 2
What must I do? Isn't there anyone that can help?
Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
I'm trying to incorperate the 12month script in SS 6.3, with no luck. I made it work for the regular Medieval game, never tried it for Vanilla Kingdoms though.
Is it possible to do in SS 6.3?
Oh yeah I took out SS 6.3 aging script and replaced it with the 12 turn script still no luck.
Any ideas???

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
The script gets copied into the campaign_script file. The start date and time scale has to be adjusted in descr_strat. It is all in the README file. Just make up your mind which flavor of turns you want and then do it step by step.

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
Ok, I've adjusted the turn start to winter, and set the timescale to 0.0835 (for 12 turns).
I want 12 turns, so then I just take the Kingdoms Base Script (it's a kingdoms mod I want it for)?
Then I take the 12 turns basic script and copy all of it into the regular campaign script? A special place in the campaign script or just whereever?

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
You can put it anywhere between the first and the last two lines. My suggestion: right under the line at the top that says "script".

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
Hi, I'm doing BGR V mod incorporating your lovely 12 tpy script and wondered how settlement mechanics, EDB, missions etc will view the turns. Will they see each month as a turn or each year? I figure if they still see each turn as a turn then I need change nothing in them to maintain the same gameplay.

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
The game regards winter as the end \beginning (not sure which) of a year. This mod has only one "real winter" turn.
There are no changes necessary as missions are in turns - and that doesn't get changed.

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
I modified the script to 52 turns per year. I am using it in an upcoming mod i am working on (Defender of the Crown). Thought i would share it on here aswell. Simply adjust your timescale to 0.019235 in descr_strat and then add the following to your campaign_script...
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Note that 4 months have been given 5 weeks as opposed to 4. This is because most months have a few additional days that make up a total of 4 weeks in a year. I simply gave the last month of a given season 5 weeks. (Using december as the start of a season as an example). 4 months of winter or 13 weeks. with 8 months (39 weeks) summer.
It wouldnt be much more work to add GeD's severe/mild winter script into this aswell. and you could extend winter upto 6 months if you desired...
I will be adding to this script to include yearly events. More so to aid the player in knowing what week/month it is. It is very easy to forget what week it is if you dont remind the player as the date will not change for 52 turns.
The mod i am using it in takes place in a 10 year period. 520 turns. and is quite localized.

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
You should use GeD's approach.
In your 4tpy script you have an IF statement that checks if the counter is > 0, if so set the season to summer. You then have an IF statement that checks to see if the counter is 3... these 2 IF sttements conflict as they can both be true at the same time.
For future reference:
When writing IF statements you should make ALL IF's slightly different so that only one can be true. As soon as you start having more then one possible outcome it can cause you issues.
Your script does not work because the > 0 will always fire true so the script never reads the final IF statement. Therefore, its always summer.
GeD's approach is flawless...
Add this to your campaign_script and remove your 4tpy script.
I did not check the rest of the campaign script for errors.

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
acually i get one month of winter from the script it seems to be working now that i added wait_monitors to the end
i ll test a bit more and maybe the use yours instead. i just noticed that with greeneyeds script generals age twice in the first year i think.

Re: 12 turns per year with proper aging
If the slave turn ends in winter, characters age. In GeD's script the first and last quarters are winter, but the script is set to summer at the end of every slave turn, unless it is quarter 1 (which is set if quarter is 5... quarter 5 IS quarter 1). Therefore it is really only winter on one turn.
Quarter is incremented to 2 on the first turn, so it is actually summer as far as ending the slave turn. The quarter is incremented to 5 during the 4th quarter, as stated, 5 IS 1 in this script. During the Slave turn it is set to winter.
The script can be hard to follow because the counters are not valid during the entire turn, they change. It starts as 1 but ends as 2, it starts as 4 but ends as 1 (it is not 5 for long, as 5 is 1).
