Changing Nation Description & Campaign Goals

[omlimoc]

I've just started making non-playable factions playable and am a bit of a perfectionist. Is there anyway I can give a non-playable faction some campaign goals? And change it's description from "Non playable" to something else?

[omlimoc]

Can it not be done? :-(

It can. Lets hope someone comes and tells you how to do it.

Changing Nation description

• open startpos.esf with esf editor
• go to CAMPAIGN_PREOPEN_MAP_INFO/FACTION_INFOS
• select the faction you want to change the description for
• the 6th entry is the path to the localisation entry, write it down, remember it, I don't care
• open the patch_en.pack with the packfile manager
• go to text/localisation.loc
• find the line of the factions description path (e.g. start_pos_factions_description_29 for britain) and change the description to whatever you want

Adding victory conditions

• open startpos.esf with esf editor
• go to CAMPAIGN_PREOPEN_MAP_INFO/VICTORY_CONTITION_OPTIONS
• clone a node (VICTORY_CONDITIONS_BLOCK), change the entries to fit your faction.
• check HusserlTWs tutorial on it for more details if you cannot manage it with this bit

Thanks a lot!

Hmm...editing the patch.en pack crashed my game. Ye be warned!
