How to add a new historical event?

[p.jakub88]

Hello everyone,

=========================================================================

I would like to ask a question that was asked many times, without any answer:


--> HOW TO ADD A NEW HISTORICAL EVENT TO THE GRAND CAMPAIGN MODE IN EMPIRE TOTAL WAR?


Any ideas, proposals, tutorials how i could do that?

Of course i mean the events that are displayed from 1700 to 1800 year, not those generated automatically...


=========================================================================


MY LAST QUICK AND SHORT QUESTION:


----> It is possible to add new historic event or not?


So many modders, moderators and no idea.....

==========================================================================



Thanks in advance!

I would say the same way as CA implemented those....

An Entry in the export_historic_event.lua and an entry in the event_table.

I created a new mod pack with new historical events, but nothing changed in Empire Total War in Grand Campaign mode.....

=========================================================================

I edited 3 files to make a new mod:


--> events_tables

--> export_historic_event.lua

--> localisation.loc

=========================================================================

This is my mod that i have created:

Thread Moved out of Tutorial Section
That not a Resource and not even a Tutorial. It's more of like a Research. Clear your doubts and when it's done edit the Opening Post and Put everything there in an organized manner.

If you receive words of appreciation and modders find it useful then it will be moved to the tutorial section. And Please don't make threads there if it's not a Resource or an actual tutorial.

Ok i understand that.

When i figure it out i will write a proper tutorial in Mod Workshop Section.

I was forced to choose a topic "prefix", so i chosen one.....i know that this isn't a resource or tutorial.

I see that i' m very annoying here on TWCenter.....

I see that i' m very annoying here on TWCenter.....

That solely depends upon a user and i don't find you annoying. You are new here and need some time to get to know things a better.

[p.jakub88]

Sorry about that - i had a very bad posting habits here on TWCenter....

My apologizes for double-posting or spam and other not allowed behavior in on this forum.

I wanted only to get answer, there must be some rules on forum to keep order - i don't like mess too...

I hope, that i will never make any troubles here in future posting.

I never complained about forum rules or TWCenter in general.

This forum is a "gold mine" of knowledge to ETW players and modders - a "Klondike" among the Empire Total War forums....


P.S.

Maybe You Ishan are skilled in text editing?

I have a situation here with adding new historical events to the Grand Campaign...and it is a never ending story to get some mods to work.

Read these they will help:-
TWC Rules
FAQ's Section

And yes TWC is a Gold mine for Total War games and way more.
And i'm sorry but i have no experience in ETW modding only M2TW.

[p.jakub88]

No problem - you are a moderator not a modder. I understand that - i have only asked.

Thanks, but i know ( thanks to You ) most of the forum rules and this will not help me now......

===========================================================================

--> I need help to get my new mod to work, please it is very important to me!

It seems to me that some info about events are scripted, but i didn't know how to open those luac's.

One of my events that i added to Grand Campaign is set to trigger on winter 1714 and i wanted to check if he works or not.

No other default historic events are set to this year, but of course my new event don't work....

I though, that if two events are set in THE SAME SEASON in THE SAME YEAR, the game will choose this one, who is placed higher in alphabetical order - but i was wrong....................

It must be another file, who is responsible of event displaying during player's turn!

Maybe this is one of the *.luac files?

I see, that this case is so advanced, that noone knows an answer, so tell me only if it possible to add a new event or not??
