    Default Event Images question?

    When i place my own Event images for a faction in the northern_european file they all show up fine in game for the factions in question, but this also now changes other event images for other factions i wish not to change?

    Is there a text file i can alter to allow the different factions to have there correct event images for each faction?

    Different event pictures for different factions? Off the top of my head I'd say your best bet would be to script the event in the campaign script rather than the events file. Then you can set it up so each faction has a different event that fires at the correct time (but only fire off the one for the faction that is currently being played. That way because the events will have different names, the pics they use will also have different names and hence, you can have different event pics for each faction for what appears to be the same event.

    Ok, i am confused! the mod i am playing is Hegemon and the northern_european folder represents both Barbarians and Romans factions which is northern europe (barbarians) and italy (romans), when i use the Roman event images the events all appear in roman, when i change to barbarian event images all events are in Barbarian. (i have the RTW event images for the Barbarians and Romans as two seperate event files for obvious reasons!) the default descr_events_images text file is fine to use for this mod asi have changed the images to the new factions.

    To make it more clear what the problem is:

    Northern_European folder (current):
    will only use the one folder of event images for all factions in that region

    Northern_European folder (ideally!!!)
    Barbarians have there own event images
    Romans have there own event images

    Is there a way to divide both factions so the correct event images appear for that faction, as the game will only allow one folder to represent all factions, there must be a way of correcting this issue?
