Need help with some stuff.

[Cozur]

Otherwise I wouldn't be posting here.


Aaanyhow, I've shamelessly stolen part of the FOE script (for own use) to make more of the mission like events the mod had at the start.

However, whenever the "mission/advice" is activated, my game crashes.

I've been trying to figure out what is wrong, but sadly it's been no use.

Here is what I've inserted into the background script:

while I_AdvisorVisible

end_monitor
end_while

ui_flash_stop

filter_all_ui_commands on
enable_entire_ui
disable_shortcuts false
inhibit_camera_input false
end_if

while I_TurnNumber < 29
suspend_unscripted_advice true
end_while

Here is what I've added to the export_descr_advice:

Here is what I've put into the export_descr_advice_enums:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Rebels_Lucanian_Sextus_Title
Rebels_Lucanian_Sextus_Text1

And here is what I've added to the export_advice:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

¬---------------------
{Rebels_Lucanian_Sextus_Text_01_Title} The Lucanians rebel!
{Rebels_Lucanian_Sextus__Text_01_Text1} Senators, the Lucanians have revolted! Displeased with our harsh and rightful treatment of these treacherous barbarians, after they aided the king of Epiros, has led to open rebellion. They must be put to the sword, so that we can be at peace!

Any help in uncovering what mistake I've made would be awesome.

Already answered in the RTR forum.

Indeed!

New question though, is there any way to lower the happiness of a city, say like... Syracuse, at a certain point into the game?

What I'm looking for is a way to make certain cities revolt at a certain point in the game, like at... 200 BC or anything like that.

Also, I have a problem. I've had the above things working (the script part) but now it just moves to the refered tile, zooms in and the mouse cursor appears. No advisor or anything popping up.

[HouseOfHam]

You could try spawning a few rebel spies in there.

And what did you change?

[Cozur]

There was a mistake in the export_descr_advice file, I sorted it out.

Is there any way to just script the army lead by random rebel leader that I spawn to just besiege the city of my choice?

[HouseOfHam]

Only possible in M2TW.
