slow down character's aging?

[Aaren J]

Hello guys.
First off, I can't believe how good version 6.3 is. Congratulations on one amazing mod!

Just a quick question if i may. My housemate and I like to slow the timescale in descr_strat down to 0.50, but I've noticed that generals and family members still age at the normal rate. Altering the timescale has the desired effect of adding more turns per year, but it doesn't seem to affect how quick characters age.
Is there any way for me to change this, or is it perhaps scripted or something?

AarenJ,

If you want to use 2 turns per year, I attach an existing sub mod for 6.3:

This sound very interesting with this mode. But I have never operated with a php. file. So please, I have it, I even opened it. what should I do with it to make effect? Where should I put it (which folder?)... ? And after that what? Thank you...

There is no *.php-file you need to render. It's the campaign_script.txt you need! In that there is the aging (AND turn per year) script. Edit that in the way as the link is showing or pm me if you need any help with that. When that is done, you need to edit descr_strat.txt where you need to change the timescale from 0.5 or w/e it is to what ever you want. 0.5 is 2 turns per year and 0.0833333 is 12 turns per year... Do your own math

You can remove the aging script from the campaign script.
Or you can download my 2TPY Project. Link is in my signature.

I'll download that now, cheers.
How would one remove the aging script?

Well, the 2 TPY Project already takes care of that.
But doing it manually is pretty simple:

1. Open up the campaign_script.txt files in SS6.3\data\campaign\early and SS6.3\data\campaign\late
2. Search for "ageing script"
3. Remove the whole section (in both early and late)
4. Run the sub-mod manager (SS_setup.exe)
5. Start a new campaign

Am I to delete the entire file or just a specific part of it?

*edit* found it. Wow. I guess I really AM a moron after all.

The entire "ageing script" section of the files.
This bit, to be precise:

;=================== AGEING SCRIPT ======================
declare_counter season
monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
    inc_counter season 1
    if I_CompareCounter season == 1
        console_command season summer
    end_if;

    if I_CompareCounter season == 2
        console_command season winter
        set_counter season 0
    end_if
end_monitor

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType slave
    console_command season winter
end_monitor
