STARTPOS.ESF analysis and modifications

**Steph** · June 17, 2011, 11:32 PM

Three more questions.

1) Since it is possible to make say Bavaria playable in the "French campaign", or in the "Coalition campaign", and both campaign are different, is there a reason to make it playable in one campaign rather than in the other? I mean, why not make a startpos for the French campaign, with every correct starting position, and then start from here to make startpos to play with any faction, including Russia or Britain? In other words, is it really necessary to have two different bases, eur_campaign and mp_eur_campaign?

2) To edit starting armies position, it is necessary to copy from the save into the startpos the complete CAMPAIGN_MODEL ? As it overwrites some other changes like playable factions. Could it work if I copy only the ARMY_ARRAY from the faction I just started the game with to move their armies to the right starting position?

3) Do we know when version 1.5 of the editor should be finalized?

Because French Campaign is meant to be played as France. There is no point to play as any other faction there.

No you cannot. Copying CAMPAIGN_MODEL does not overwrites other changes like playable factions.

3) Do we know when version 1.5 of the editor should be finalized?

Probably never.

At least this would be overwritten, no?

CAMPAIGN_ENV/CAMPAIGN_MODEL/WORLD/FACTION_ARRAY/FACTION_ARRAY/FACTION/CAMPAIGN_PLAYERS_SETUP/ middle False change to True

Do not worry, it will have no effect.

Hey Husserl, I had a problem while I was using Hybrid, I tried to change the ownership of a region through diplomacy, I was France, and I gave Hanover to Prussia. Everything was fine for France, but when I looked at the change with Prussia, the LOS wasn't working for that region.

Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know how to fix it?

EDIT: This also happens to any minor nation that I enable for the campaign.

Does anyone know how to fix this LOS problem?

Thanks Hussarl, I made the attached save file

The whole world has been conquered by France, so you can use it for this LOS problem.

Although don't play the file ingame, or your game will crash

I give permission for anyone else to use it

(it's napoleon by the way)

**husserlTW** · June 26, 2011, 01:27 PM

I've done that already in my Napoleon Total Faction.

**Dee Jay** · June 29, 2011, 04:56 AM

I have another question Hussarl, how do I make it so that on the start of the campaign the camera begins looking at the capitol of the nation, instead of in the middle of sweden?

**husserlTW** · June 29, 2011, 02:05 PM

Though there is a tutorial in this sub (Tools, Tutorials and Resources) forum in my opinion you cannot. Napoleon camera manager is a little tricky...

**Dee Jay** · June 29, 2011, 03:38 PM

OK thanks, it doesn't even matter that much anyway.

Another question, how do you add a faction leader portrait to the selection screen for a new faction I added in?

**husserlTW** · June 30, 2011, 02:43 AM

I think that you do not like searching... There is a tutorial for that too. Btw there is a tutorial for everything. In some cases there are 3-4 with the same subject.

**Dee Jay** · June 30, 2011, 03:34 AM

Ok thanks, I forgot to search for that before I asked.

**agunter999** · April 06, 2013, 05:40 AM

In ntw how do you deleat all starting armies

**Steph** · April 06, 2013, 06:44 AM

I don't think you can do that safely.

**kecaj557** · January 17, 2020, 03:07 AM

The Campaign bonus value is the advantage that the AI gets on the variable difficulty settings:
