12 turns per year with proper aging

[Withwnar]

I just noticed that when I have a character start with the severe weather trait the game does not change that trait to summer for the first year

Oh, the first year, not the first turn? Then maybe because your triggers are only subtracting 1 point, when characters might have 3 or 4 points, so it takes a few turns to get back down to the 'proper' values of 1 or 2.

declare_counter is_first_faction_turn_after_slave
set_counter is_first_faction_turn_after_slave 1

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart not FactionType slave
  
  if I_CompareCounter is_first_faction_turn_after_slave == 1
    set_counter is_first_faction_turn_after_slave 0
  end_if
  
  if I_CompareCounter is_first_faction_turn_after_slave == -1
    set_counter is_first_faction_turn_after_slave 1
  end_if
  
end_monitor

So is this single and hotseat compatible? Or should I be using something that doesn't use FactionIsLocal at all like the above to assign AI only?

declare_counter is_the_ai

monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
    and ! FactionType slave
    set_event_counter is_the_ai 0
end_monitor


monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart ! FactionIsLocal
    and ! FactionType slave
    set_event_counter is_the_ai 1
end_monitor

[Withwnar]

That's only part of what I posted but yes, that whole season script is compatible with both.

Not sure what you're getting at with that second bit of code, nor why slave isn't to be counted as AI. I can say that the declare_counter line is declaring a counter which you're not using: the monitors are setting an event counter, not that declared 'normal' counter.

I'm not familiar with the script/system that this thread is describing (not sure how I got here in the first place ) so can't really answer your other question.

That code is to separate the player from the AI factions other than slave. I was just curious if it works the same (same effect) as the conditions I quoted from you for hotseat. I am not sure if using FactionIsLocal in hotseat is flat out wrong or if it just depends on how it is used.

[Withwnar]

Mine is only figuring out if it is the turn of the faction after slave, which could still be AI in hotseat (I think?) and doesn't help in a multi-player-factions hotseat situation.

"Local" in hotseat still means "not AI", so will be true for each player faction, but I recall gsthoed reporting somewhere that if you use the "control" command then it isn't reliable. Safer to use FactionIsAIControlled.

In hotseat "local" means "player faction AND it's their turn" (i.e. current player) whereas in normal game it means simply "player faction" (in any faction's turn). FactionIsAIControlled means the same thing in both: "not a player faction, regardless of whose turn it is", and conversely "not FactionIsAIControlled" means "is a player faction, regardless of whose turn it is".

So yeah, that is_the_ai code should be fine in both normal and hotseat, but probably best to change it to use "not FactionIsAIControlled" instead of FactionIsLocal, and FactionIsAIControlled instead of "not FactionIsLocal".

Much appreciated.

Isn't a timescale of 0,0834 more correct for 12 turn/year since 1/12 is 0,083333.... instead of 0,0835.

[Gigantus]

It is - but being the fourth digit it doesn't have any real impact.

[warl0rd13]

I think I did something wrong, I set it for 12 turns a year but my generals are aging normally, I set the start date to winter so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

[Gigantus]

Did you add the script to the campaign_script.txt file? Did you set the time scale correctly?

[warl0rd13]

Yeah the time scale is working fine, I added the script but maybe I put it in the wrong area in the file? I'm trying to use it in vanilla if that makes a difference.

[Gigantus]

Best put it right at the end, but before the 'wait_monitors' line. That way you can avoid inserting it in between other script parts.

    end_monitor   end of last monitor\script part
    
    put your script here
    
    wait_monitors
end_script

[warl0rd13]

That was the trick, works like a charm now, cheers mate.

[Gigantus]

One is glad to be of service

Hi, if I have M2TW Kindgoms but I play the vanilla(still kingdoms is installed), which version should I use, M2 or Kingdoms? Thank you. I use the vanilla version now and works fine but winter lasts for 5 turns.

[Gigantus]

If your mod (I hope you are not modding the unpacked files in the main directory) uses the medieval2 executable then use the M2 version. 5 winters seems to indicate that the script isn't installed correctly or only partly.

Check post #512 how to place the script

[The Despondent Mind]

I want to extend the number of turns per year in a mod called "With Fire and Sword 2", but honestly the OP is a bit confusing too me, I have no idea what should I do, I feel a bit overwhelmed with the files and what should I do with them.

[Gigantus]

You first have to decide how many turns you are looking for. Then if you want to make use of the extreme weather messages. According to that you choose the script (and supporting stuff like EDCT and HE) and set the time scale. Let me know and I point you in the direction.

Ok, right now the ratio is 2T/1Y I would like to change it to 6T/1Y.

[Gigantus]

Let's take the basic version as example. I am assuming you are using a kingdoms mod (started with the kingdoms.exe)

1. Download and extract the attachment.
2. Browse to the Turns Scripts\6 Turns\Base Script\Kingdoms folder and make copy of the campaign_script file (I always make ups of files I am working with)
3. Delete all lines below the last end_monitor line (line 59 and below)
4. Delete all lines from the top until before the ; 1. 12 Turns per year. line (line 1 to 19) The remainder is the actual script part.
5.This part you can copy now below the script line at the top of your original script or directly below the last end_monitor line. Don't forget to save
6. Now open descr_strat and at the top (roughly line 40, depending on faction entries) change the entries mentioned in the OP:
start_date has to be winter
timescale has to be 0.167
