config file

[soulson]

Is it possible to copy and paste the original config file located in the med 2 directory into my mods folder? I don't seem to have a config file in my mods folder and would like to log the ai. Is this possible?

[Ishan]

Yes it's possible just copy the .cfg file in to the main directory of ur mod and give it like

[features]
editor = true
mod = mods/XYZ<------------------------Path of ur mod

[io]
file_first = true<---------------Command for using mod files

And lastly create a .bat file that uses this .cfg file.

[soulson]

this is my default
<config>
<databases>
<skin file="/Config/Skins/Default/default.xml"/>
<localisation file="/Config/localisation/localisation.xml"/>
<news file="/Config/News/news.xml"/>
<update file="/Config/Update/update.xml"/>
<versions file="/Config/Update/version.xml"/>
</databases>
</config>

should it look something like this?

<config>
[features]
editor = true
mod = mods/Stainless_Steel_6

[io]
file_first = true
<databases>
<skin file="/Config/Skins/Default/default.xml"/>
<localisation file="/Config/localisation/localisation.xml"/>
<news file="/Config/News/news.xml"/>
<update file="/Config/Update/update.xml"/>
<versions file="/Config/Update/version.xml"/>
</databases>

</config>

WTFudge is that? That looks like xml, configs are just text.

You just need to make a .cfg with the settings you want to change versus the default.

Here's the one I use with my mod (logging options enabled):

[features]
editor = true
mod = mods/DLV_ext

[io]
file_first = true
disable_file_cache = true

[ai]
ltgd_logging = true

[log]
to=logs/log.txt
level = * trace
file = game.script* logs/script.log.txt
file = game.script.exec logs/script.exec.log.txt
file = game.script.counter logs/script.counter.log.txt
file = game.script.trigger logs/script.trigger.log.txt
file = game.script.anc logs/script.anc.log.txt
file = ai.ltgd logs/ai.log.txt 

[game]
auto_save = 0
unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 1
label_characters = 1

[video]
show_banners = 0

You can copy that into a blank text file and then rename it, and change it's filename extension to .cfg.

In my case my batchfile is setup thus:

cd ..\..
kingdoms.exe @mods\DLV_ext\DLV_ext.cfg

So I name my .cfg 'DLV_ext.cfg'.

[Taiji]

You're welcome

[Ishan]

Thank god Taiji u helped the lad otherwise i would have been like after seeing that config of his.
+rep to the great one.

[soulson]

Very interesting guys. I'm wondering can I log individual factions or even better individual characters??

[Taiji]

Nope, not as far as I'm aware.

You would have to mod the game to force scripts to report everything with counters, or something like that. And probably some stuff would still be untraceable.

Regarding the batch file:
put 'start' in front of the line and then the little DOS box disappears after executing

start kingdoms.exe @mods\DLV_ext\DLV_ext.cfg
