Problem with codes (how to change a faction)

[marcius2000]

I have vista - I also had some problems with ~ - but I already found answer. So I want to change a faction during the game

I opened console and put proper codes

control Republic of Rome
or
control <Republic of Rome>

but nothing happened.

I also tried to put other codes to check what is going on - but only code with money worked - other codes didn't

so how to change a faction during the game?? What to I have to write?

Many of the cheat codes came out after 1.0. The cheat code list on game sites are still for 1.0. You're just running into the ones CA removed.

do you know if changing faction is possible? it is something very useful and it's almost not "cheat" but "feature"

these codes worked also for BI

were they were deleted later?

[irishron]

They could have for 1.6. If it is a feature it should still be available. You would have to enter the faction name exactly as it is in the descr_strat.txt to have a chance and odds are in quotes.

thanks, unfortunatelly, it doesn't work. also "control ?" doesn't work so I assume, that this code was deleted or changed...

[irishron]

How about control "Republic_of_Rome"?

[marcius2000]

command "control" is not recognized at all...

[irishron]

The code I gave should if the command is recognized. IF it is not recognized, CA deleted/disabled it in 1.6. I see some other codes still listedthat have been disabled since RTW 1.3.

First of all some console commands do not actually work in the console but will only work if used in a script, and I believe this is one of those commands, second you'd need to use the internal name not the screen name of the faction to make it work most likely if using it through a script.

[marcius2000]

what does it mean "used in a script"?

[Brusilov]

Some mods run a script in the background - RTR VII TIC, RTR VII FoE, EB and quite a few others do as well. Basically, it's used to monitor certain events. If things happen (the AI has less than x in the treasury it can be boosted by using the add_money command). I know some mods have scripted rebellions or invasions. I'd suggest having a look at the 'Mod Workshop' as that has a lot of information on scripting. Here is the link to that part of the forum: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1184

ok. thanks. I read this

http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/archiv...p/t-53365.html

and that

but I suppose that I made something wrong

I created file in data/scropts/show_me directory (co_control.txt)

and add

script
console_command control Germans
end_script

I'm not sure if I did it properly - or if I did - what do I have to do now? open console and put write "control"? or control Germans?

nothing happens.

command still unrecognized...
