Playable Papacy

[Meister Sibrand]

How do you do this? I changed the early era descr_strat so there in the playable section and removed the line in descr_sm_factions about how they are a special faction. But when i click them it just brings me back to the single player menu. All of the options are unclickable in the single player menu until I go back to the main one and go back in. So how do I make them playable?

[Grandmaster Ryu]

Hmmm, you shouldn't have to edit the descr_sm_factions at all to play them,

just make sure you make them playable in the descr_strat and also make sure you make a faction unplayable to compensate for that =] (France)

o/j I love France =]


Edit: Woot 200th post!!

[Meister Sibrand]

aha i read somewhere about the descr_sm_factions ill try to remove somebody... but it will be hard to pick.

(psst) - Russia (psst)

=]

No offences to Russians of course, it's just in the Early Era campaign, I find they arn't fun to play to be honest - since the starting location is surrounded by rebels which are no fun to fight =( - Of course it's different in Late Era and they are quite powerful ^^

got the same reaction after removing novgorod. back to the single player menu.

[Meister Sibrand]

bump

[Meister Sibrand]

anyone? I would love to be the papal states.

[Cuahtemoc]

Same here. This is what I did:

Go to the Early Era Campaign folder, and edit descr_strat.

1. Put papal_states in playable.
2. Remove papal_states from nonplayable.
3. Remove another playable faction.

Heres what it looks like if you remove Ireland:

Do something similar for the Late Era Campaign if needed.

If you don't know already, its in the custom folder beside the 'imperial campaign' folder.

[Meister Sibrand]

i knew that and i removed novgorod

[Cuahtemoc]

From what you're saying, I think you should have only edited the descr_start file. Editing that file only has always worked for me.

[Meister Sibrand]

i did. I fixed the descr_sm_factions already.

[Meister Sibrand]

Help me out please. somebody

[Barser]

I just added them from nonplayable to playable. Thats really all that is required.

[Meister Sibrand]

so did i but it takes me back to the main singleplayer menu

Could you post your system log here? check the bug reports section on how to do just that.

[Meister Sibrand]

umm for some reason there is no log in my folder...

[Grandmaster Ryu]

There should be a log Oo...

The Stainless Steel .cfg file states that the log is sent to the correct folder so - if it's not there and your descr_strat isn't working - are you sure you've got a working version of SS? Perhaps reinstall and try again =]

[Meister Sibrand]

ya my descr is fine 4 sho but ummm idk may b ill reinstall just dont wanna do it now lol

here is a related question, can the rebels be made playable? that could be interesting, being at war with everyone, trying to stir up trouble with small bands.

It wouldnt even require any goals, simply survival could be the goal, no diplomacy and merchants, maybe spies and assasins though.
