Real Death 1.1 + Royal Women 1.2

REAL DEATH 1.1 AND ROYAL WOMEN 1.2 for Stainless Steel 6.2

This is a little update for my mods to be used in the 6.2 version of SS.

Real Death: SS 6.2 already uses an age of death mod that is virtually identical to that I proposed in RD 1.0. In SS 6.2 old age (and therefore susceptibility to death) begins at 55, with maximum age at 90 (the values in RD 1.0 were 56 and 89 respectively). This update therefore only fixes the triggers for the senility and beyond battle traits.

Beginning at 62, generals may acquire the "beyond battle" trait which makes them weaker in battle. Robust generals are likely to get it later in their life, while sickly ones tend to get it early. Beyond 64, generals may gain senility traits (the levels are somewhat senile, senile, and totally senile).

Royal Women: Same as before but integrated with 6.2. This mod causes "of xxx blood" traits to be transmitted to the sons and (princess) daughters of royal princesses that remain in your family tree. Princesses that marry to other factions, or foreign princesses that come into your tree, will give "xxx relations" traits. However, in this mod these relations traits give some useful effects, instead of just "that sense of entitlement".

Notice that the export_vnvs file presented is a merge with export_vnvs from my own Ancillaries and Traits fix. All the fundamental and new stuff from 6.2 is kept but there are some differences in text style.

Nice work, Caralampio; I've been meaning to integrate the last Royal Women into my newest build (with rr/rc) and this just give me the impetus to get it done!

Any major changes since the last version?

**caralampio** · January 02, 2009, 01:12 PM

No, I just added the traits and triggers to 6.2's files.

**Capital** · January 03, 2009, 03:27 PM

Sounds interesting, do I put both in the ss/data folder??

**caralampio** · January 03, 2009, 09:14 PM

export descr character traits in data, export vnvs in data/text.

**strife1013** · January 04, 2009, 03:56 PM

Can this be used with Gracul's Patch 6.2 RC 3?

**Gnostiko** · January 05, 2009, 11:34 AM

Caralampio, could I ask you to release a truncated version of your Royal Women that contains only your additions? At the moment your files are so wildly different to those contained in RR/RC it's taken half an hour to look for changes and I haven't even reached the halfway point in the document :s
With a changelist, it would be easier to just ctrl+f and copy/paste your text over.

**caralampio** · January 05, 2009, 05:14 PM

Here it is.

**Gnostiko** · January 05, 2009, 10:38 PM

Jawsome, thanks Caralampio!

**Unknown User** · January 23, 2009, 01:45 PM

Two questions:

1) All that's needed for the install is those two files, correct?

2) Does this include the merchant fixes in the previous versions? I liked those, and want to know if I should go back and find that or if they're already here.

Thanks!

**caralampio** · January 23, 2009, 09:26 PM

No, the merchant fix is not in these files. To add it, find this in export descr character traits...

Code:

 
;------------------------------------------
;problem with number of resources in SS 6.1
Trigger Merchant_Monopoly
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
    Condition AgentType = merchant
          and TradingMonopoly
    Affects Monopolist  1  Chance  85

and substitute with this

Code:

 
;------------------------------------------
Trigger agents33
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
    Condition AgentType = merchant
    Affects Monopolist  1  Chance  5 
;------------------------------------------
Trigger agents33a
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
    Condition AgentType = merchant
    Affects GoodMerchant  1  Chance  5

Thanks, will have to do that!

**caralampio** · January 24, 2009, 07:46 AM

Note: These files were made with rc3, there might be some incompatibilities with rc4. I will produce a new version in the future, probably integrating other things like merchants and courtesans, but until the definitive 6.2 comes out.

**Unknown User** · January 24, 2009, 11:18 AM

Do you foresee any problems with using this with SS 6.1?

**caralampio** · January 24, 2009, 09:30 PM

For 6.1 you should use RD 1.0 + RW 1.1 (from an older thread in this forum).

**Unknown User** · January 24, 2009, 11:41 PM

I tried that, but it removed the Supply Traits when I did.

**caralampio** · January 25, 2009, 07:50 AM

Umm, yeah well you can't have everything! And I removed those traits because some people said they didn't want them, go figure. In fact I don't use supply either.

I might do versions with and without supply for the definitive 6.2 version, but meanwhile a way to fix it (if you don't mind some modding):

In your original export_descr_character_traits (you saved it right?) find and copy everything from

Code:

 
;*********  BYG'S REALITY & SUPPLY TRAITS  *********
;------------------------------------------
Trait Healing
    Characters family

down to

Code:

 
;------------------------------------------
Trait PoorLogistics
    Characters family
    Level Poor_Logistician
        Description Poor_Logistician_desc
        EffectsDescription Poor_Logistician_effects_desc
        Threshold  1

And paste it right above this in my file...

Code:

 
;===============================================================
;== SS TRIGGERs START HERE ==
;===============================================================

Now copy everything from

Code:

 
;===============================================================
;== BYG TRIGGERS START HERE ==
;===============================================================
;------------------------------------------
Trigger SupplyStart
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnStart

down to

Code:

 
;Mutinous, from previous turn, reduce one point, so mutinous never > 32 points
;------------------------------------------
Trigger Turns_Away_Increment
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
    Condition Trait Away > 0
          and CharacterIsLocal
    Affects Turnsaway  1  Chance  100
    Affects Away -1  Chance  100

And paste it in my file right above this...

Code:

;*********  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *********
;*********  START OF BBB TRAIT TRIGGERS  *********
;*********  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *********
;*********  BLOODLINES TRIGGERS - ROYAL DYNASTIES  *********

Phew! Should work. Let me know.

**Unknown User** · January 25, 2009, 10:28 AM

Wow, thanks for all this! I'm off to give it a try now.

**doriangrey** · January 25, 2009, 11:27 AM

is it save game compatible ?
, i ask for 6.1 on this thread ivn't if its not the right version of the mod

**Unknown User** · January 25, 2009, 12:01 PM

Alright, just got everything re-installed. Turned out I lost my backup files, so it took a little longer than I expected. Just loaded up the game and I still have the supply traits.

Thanks so much for the help!
