Cool things by editing files

[Romman]

Knowing the basic as change des_strat by moving factions to playable and change the kings purse is very cool

But i'de like to know other cool things to do just by editing the text files!

[Squid]

Moved to text editing and scripting.

[GrnEyedDvl]

For the coolest things, get into scripting.

You can change the stats of soldiers in export_descr_units which is pretty cool.

[alhoon]

Welcome to scripting.

Oh, and the headbanking against walls that comes with it along with more cool things.

[krycek]

there are some text editing things here that i think are cool and theres TheGrnEyedDvls stuff of course.

ok, do u know how can i give a settlement to a faction in scripting? because most mods forget that the moors had half of the Iberian Peninsula and I keep finding that HRE is too small

[krycek]

judging by what i have read here you cannot give a settlement to another faction but i do believe there is a seige script here somewhere.

not even the rebel ones?:hmmm:

[J@mes]

There is no give settlement command the best you can do is force a faction to siege anthers, also check my sig for scripting for kingdoms.

[alhoon]

Romman, you can give them more starting settlements from the strat file.

If you are going to do that find the x,y, coordinates and delete the garrison.

How and why?

[Gerin]

Type in show_cursorstat on the settlement; why because if you don't you can't move into the settlement.

I didnt get the "delette the garrison" part

ive made my medieval so there are no rebel provinces on the map, basically if you want to change what someone starts with ie: want HRE to own hamburg from the start, then you'd have to add hamburgs strat entry from under the rebel faction entry to the HRE faction entry, making sure theres a space between each entry if you get what i mean....

then you have to find the co ordinates of the rebel army in hamburg, how can you own a province if its got a rebel army in it? once you no the co ordinates you can move that army to a HRE entry, or delete it al together if you wish, i was lucky though i found a thread at the guild that told me how to get the co ordinates, but im guess you have to open the cheat console (which is ~ for most comps, though mine is ') once opened put cursorstat command in as shown above, and supposedly the settlement co ordinates will emerge, once you note down the co ordinates and settlement names, go back to the strat and start changing settlements....


(I hope i didnt confuse you )
