Immortal Nazgul Version 1.2 Released

[JuL14n]

This is OT, but I think I found something that could be used towards immortal elves. Its a condition called GeneralWithAncKilled, I think it could be used to differentiate between natural and battle deaths for the respawn of elves.

Could use a script something like this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

declare_counter killed
set_counter killed 0

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType egypt

if GeneralWithAncKilled elf_a
set_counter killed 1
end_if

if not I_FactionwideAncillaryExists elf_a
and I_CompareCounter killed = 0

spawn_army
faction egypt
character elf_a ....
traits ....
unit ...
end
end_if

terminate_monitor
end_monitor

getting it to work with children could be an issue though...

Great! I'm not 100% sure

But something like this may work with their children as well.

and CultureType greek

AcquireAncillary Elf_a chance 100

edit: agghh.. I'm tired. They would need their own script to get it to work

~ Updated it and added compatibility for vanilla TA 1.1 and visual enhancement ~

just thinking out loud (not sure if it can be done, or has been tried)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

but is it possible to tie in the faction heir trait to a ancillary (eg the nazgul rings), say just give the rings (say 4 of them to rule out any weird scenarios) the faction heir trait (if yo can assign it to more than one then just the highest authority gets it), or even a check that occurs at start/end of round (if its possible to force assign the heir trait)

say add this to of the nazgul in the spawn nazgul script if its the right area for it (making up code, been ages since i ever did any of this stuff, so sorry if this insults any IT people, or TW coders )

and not WorldWideTraitExists faction_heir
give trait faction_heir

'that' check could be given to 4 or 5 nazgul, just to make sure nothing to weird happens in one turn but allow for a 'fast' cycle for it to be returned to the witch king

or can you add certain conditions for some one to become faction heir, such as the need of certain ancillarys (once again the nazgul ring, much like the above idea just a different perspective)

Extract the .zip-file
Then start the .exe/SFX and install it to Medieval 2 total war\mods\Third_age

Should be set by deafult in the .exe/sfx-file.
If not just follow that.

When it asks to overwrite stuff, you have done right.

Hmm.. Strange, which did you use?
And do you have any other mods installed?
Is your game updated to 1.1?

also, If you installed wrong of these 3 files, you can just install the right over the wrong.

its my first mod for it, im using 1.1
and i installed the three files one after the other >.<

but im not really the best with a compuiter though =/

well i guess wiping out the elves will have to wait

[papio]

I finally (with the help of konny in the mod workshop section) have the script to make there be a few turns between respawn working. For those interested replace your campaign_script file with the one attached (only compatible with RC/RR).

Edit: currently setup to wait 5 turns before respawn

I've tested the Nazgul mod for vanilla Third Age 1.1 and it works as it should.

1. Download "Nazgul mod TA 1.1.zip"
2. Unpack the zip-file

3a. run "Nazgul mod TA1.1.exe"
3b. Unpack "Nazgul mod TA1.1.exe" with winrar.

4. Install it to "c:\program files\SEGA\Medieval 2 total war\mods\Third_age"
depending on where you got third age installed.
5. Overwrite all files, if it do not ask for overwrite you have installed it to the wrong path
6. Run your game as normal and start a new campaign

If it still doesn't work, try to reinstall third age. part 1 & part 2, then patch 1.1

a & b are just alternatives.

@papio: that's great. rep+

ok i managed to get this far


3a. run "Nazgul mod TA1.1.exe"
3b. Unpack "Nazgul mod TA1.1.exe" with winrar.

but when i extracted it this file wasnt here (btw does it have to be winrar??)


4. Install it to "c:\program files\SEGA\Medieval 2 total war\mods\Third_age"
depending on where you got third age installed.
5. Overwrite all files, if it do not ask for overwrite you have installed it to the wrong path

i installed the files regardless but it didnt ask me if i wanted to over right..... the only file was called "Data" so i guess i did something wrong

6. Run your game as normal and start a new campaign

If it still doesn't work, try to reinstall third age. part 1 & part 2, then patch 1.1

and i just reinstalled it and it didnt work

a & b are just alternatives.


its times like these i give up on becoming a modder

[papio]

@ Fiach, extract the zip file, then extract the file in that. You should then have a folder called data, copy this into the folder you have TATW installed in, default is: c:\program files\SEGA\Medieval 2 total war\mods\Third_age. You will need to start a new campaign too.

hope that helps

edit: any archive extractor should work

[Pilgrim9]

i copied data into the folder but it didnt ask me if i wanted to over write anything.
i started a new campaign and i still had a bunch of crappy orc generals

i dont suppose anyone else has had this problem??

[papio]

hmm, if I had to guess I would say that you're coping it into the wrong folder (only explanation I can think of). I would try re-extracting the mod then trying again, make sure the folder you're copying it into already has a folder called data in it (it should also have the ring icon and tatw config file amongst other things)

[Pilgrim9]

thanks for the help, you were right i was putting it into the wrong folder... it had the same name but had nothing in it lmao

amazing sub mod ive already crushed Gondor and am moving to Harad

[papio]

Made an updated version compatible with RC/RR may 31, also added option for 5 turns or 10 turns between respawns.

[JuL14n]

Good!

Maybe we should work out as some kind of immortal nazgul modding team.
What I don't do, you do. And what you don't do, I do.
And we both could find out new ways to improve the mod

Sounds good to me, though I'm not sure what we could do to make it much better at this point .

Well, there are still small things need to be changed.
For example that Witchking gets back his throne ASAP after respawn.

btw, added link to your download, in my post on the 8:th page.

[mywonderchild]

well i think i found a bug?

when witchking dies a new guy gets to be the king. but when witchking respawns he gets the faction leader attribute also. if you afterwards go to battle using the witchking and he dies again you lose your "real" faction leader too. even though he was no near a battle.

hmm, that's interesting, well fixed anyway, thanks for pointing that out.

edit: nevermind, there is something wrong with it will repost when fixed
edit: should work, also added descr_strat to make it compatible with both rc/rr and visual enhancement mod
