Please, make William Wallace available for the player

[Barry Lyndon]

First of all, this is a great mod and I would like to thank all involved.

One feature is however really disappointing. When you play as any other nation than Scotland William Wallace will appear as a AI hero at some point in the game. But: When the human player plays as Scotland he does not emerge at all. So my question is: Is it difficult to mod the game so that Wallace becomes available for the player, it should be really easy, considering he is already modded in SS.

What do the devs have to say about this? Could a playable Wallace be included in a future patch? Anyone else find the lack of WW kind of disappointing?

Sorry if this request is redundant in some way.

I never play scotland so I never knew this. I'm sure that in the Kingdoms Britannia campagin you can play with him.

[alibala]

William Wallace will be good

[Barry Lyndon]

I'm sure that in the Kingdoms Britannia campagin you can play with him.

Without the benefit of Stainless Steel, sadly.

I want William Marshal for England too. :-)

William Marshall would be amazing, that man was a true knight. A movie about him would be great, if it wasn't to hollywood. More info about him here http://www.williammarshal.com/intro.html

william wallace for scotland would indeed be good

It could be modded in, but realistically unless the player is losing then there isn't a reason for someone such as Wallace to appear. The man was a freedom fighter after all

Yeah, exactly. he should emerge if the player has only two provinces left, just like it is for the AI.

[Caesar Clivus]

Yeah, exactly. he should emerge if the player has only two provinces left, just like it is for the AI.

In that case all you should need to do is comment out the AI part of the trigger in the campaign script like this:

    monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType scotland
        ;and IsFactionAIControlled <---comment out this line with a ;
        and I_CompareCounter wallace_spawned = 1

This won't be savegame compatible though.

Life is funny when all the hassle/desire can be solved by one ";".

[Barry Lyndon]

This won't be savegame compatible though.

Sounds great, but what is "savegame compatible", does that mean I will not be able to save my games in the future?

    monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType scotland
        ;and IsFactionAIControlled <---comment out this line with a ;
        and I_CompareCounter wallace_spawned = 1

How do I do that?

Is it supposed to look like this:

    monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType scotland
        ;a ;
        and I_CompareCounter wallace_spawned = 1

TO : Barry Lyndon

first of all, man, you are a very funny guy...

or second, you are more newbie in modding than me(I consider myself newbie in modding)...

ok, what you need to do is put a ";" in front of that line, in that way the line wont fire(disabled), for example, this is what you should have--

;and IsFactionAIControlled

but not the following which was original text in file:

and IsFactionAIControlled

simply add a ";" in front of it.

And it should work, let us know, cuz I want to start a scot campaign soon and wish to marry the princess with him...

Sorry mate. I should've mentioned where the campaign_script.txt file was. Only a minor detail that I forgot

Early era = Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\campaign_script.txt

Late era = Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\data\world\maps\campaign\custom\Late_Era_Campaign\custom_script.txt

see how different it is when an amature's explaination compared to the pro's...

In 6.2 William Wallace will definitively spawn for the player. Ive been thinking a little bit about it, and he just adds too much flavour to a Scottish campaign. Can anyone tell me (im lazy) where should Wallace spawn and at which age and year for the player? He would always spawn for the player with a nice historical message and a yes/no decision, should he be a part of the royal family too?

According to legend Wallace's exploits began around 1291, when he was 21 years old. He should spawn around Perthshire in the lower parts of the highlands. Let him earn his palce in the royal family by the "man of the hour" event, he should not be a family member from the beginning.

I'm sorry Claudius, but it does not seem to work for me. Wallace is still a "no-show" when I let the english take Edinburgh.

This is my text file with the ; added by me:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

;-------------- WILLIAM WALLACE --------------; 1290

declare_counter wallace_spawned
monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType scotland
and I_TurnNumber = 55

set_counter wallace_spawned 1

terminate_monitor

end_monitor

;trigger Wallace when England attacks
monitor_event GeneralCaptureSettlement I_TurnNumber >= 1
and FactionType england
and TargetFactionType scotland

set_counter wallace_spawned 1

terminate_monitor

end_monitor

;trigger Wallace when Scotland is weakened
monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType scotland
and I_TurnNumber >= 1
and I_NumberOfSettlements scotland < 2

set_counter wallace_spawned 1

terminate_monitor

end_monitor

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType scotland
and IsFactionAIControlled;
and I_CompareCounter wallace_spawned = 1

What did I do wrong there?

Many thanks in advance.

[lordextra0]

could this also be applied to templar reenforcements?

I haven't looked at the script for them, but if the AI gets reinforcements to the templars then yeah it should work.

[lordextra0]

cool thanks
