Is there a way to get a message when another King is crowned?

[BobaHat]

Hi all,

Is it possible to make it so a message appears when another faction gets a new faction leader (like the message that appears when the player faction gets a new leader)?

Also, is it possible to make a 'Princess comes of age' message?

If so, how?

[Bela]

Sure it is. Use campaign_script + historic_events.txt.

Script:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

;faction leader: (just replace the bold ones with faction names like england, etc. and duplicate for every factions you want to use)

monitor_event BecomesFactionLeader FactionType enter_faction_name_to_monitor_here ; for example england
historic_event newleader_factiontype ;same faction to be entered as above, so for example england here also!
end_monitor;

princess:

monitor_event CharacterComesOfAge FactionIsLocal ;your princess
and AgentType = princess
historic_event princess_local
end_monitor

monitor_event CharacterComesOfAge not FactionIsLocal ; any other princesses
and AgentType = princess
historic_event princess_foregin
end_monitor

Beware, you have to add all the factions you want to monitor for the leaders!

Also, you must enter some event texts in historic events:

historic_event.txt:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Faction Leaders (for each and every factions, just duplicate):

{NEWLEADER_FACTIONTYPE_BODY} here comes the text! Change "factiontype" to the name of the factions you entered in campaign_script, one-by-one
{NEWLEADER_FACTIONTYPE_TITLE}enter title here (for example New English King is crowned or something)

Princesses:

{PRINCESS_LOCAL_BODY} here comes the text!
{PRINCESS_LOCAL_TITLE}and the title for your princesses

{PRINCESS_FOREIGN_BODY} here comes the text!
{PRINCESS_FOREIGN_TITLE}and the title for foreign princesses

I hope that helps.

[BobaHat]

I think I understand. So where do I decide which picture goes with the event?

[Bela]

Ah, sorry, forgot the pictures!

Go to your data\ui, select the relevant folders (changes from mod to mod based upon factions, culture, etc. like eastern_europeans, etc.), open eventpics folder, and add pictures with the same name as the historic event in tga (in this case newleader_england and princes_local for example). (you can simply clone existing pictures, too. I don't know the exact names (no med II in the office ) but there's something like action_princess or similar there. Check the tgas)


Also, check this tutorial, it will also give you some help:

(although this works with descr_events, not with campaign_script)

[BobaHat]

I have added them all (both in campaign_script and historic_events) but nothing is happening in game. I waited for the Sultan of the Moors to die (he starts at the age of 60), but no message appears when he dies and the new guy is crowned Sultan.

[BobaHat]

Forgot to delete map.rwm... I'll just give it another go...

[BobaHat]

Nope still not working... I did everything you wrote in your first post and added a pic in ui/middle_eastern/eventpics called newleader_moors, but he still just dies without a message showing up (I play the campaign as Spain so that I can keep an eye on things with my spy).

I have deleted map.rwm and started a new campaign, but it just ignores the new stuff I've added.

[Bela]

did you delete the map.rwm? and of course, start a new campaign

[Bela]

Hmm... cut your historic_events.strings.bin file, place that anywhere on your computer (for example desktop), then delete map.rwm and try a new game again. Otherwise, I don't know what the problem can be.

Anyway, do you have your other scripts running? Is it a mod that you play or the vanilla game? You do not receive a CTD, but can you post your log to see if there's something went wrong?

[BobaHat]

It's my own mod based on Vanilla using Bare_Kingdoms mod template. Nothing is showing up and there are no error messages in the log.
It's just as if I hadn't edited anything.
I tried deleting historic_events.txt.bin and restarting the game. It created the new txt.bin file without problems, so the problem must be what I've done in campaign_script.

Here's the entry: I've put it somewhere in the middle of the file (I assume it isn't important where I put it?).

monitor_event BecomesFactionLeader FactionType moors
historic_event newleader_moors
end_monitor

Is this right?

[iMember]

And then what is your enrty in the historic_events.txt?
You should add

monitor_conditions I_TurnNumber = 0        
    restrict_strat_radar false
    terminate_monitor
end_monitor

to your script, this removes the small bar on the left side of the minimap. When the bar does not disappear the error must be in the script

[Bela]

Post your campaign_script. please.

If you add anything into the campaign_script, that should be either:

1. at the very end, just above the:

; keep script unfinished until last monitor termination
wait_monitors
end_script

lines or either anywhere, between any "terminate monitor" and the next: "monitorevent" or anything. If you have added these into the middle of a longer script, then it may cause the troubles.
Try adding it to the end of the scripts, just like in point 1.

[Bela]

Mate, I made a typo! Please correct it to:

monitor_event CharacterComesOfAge not FactionIsLocal ; any other princesses
and AgentType = princess
historic_event princess_foreign
end_monitor


That will cause the problem for the princesses, sorry for the mistyping! Sorry once again! (and thanks Ishan for letting me know )

Is this wrong or right? If it is right, what can the problem be? Because when I play a game I don't get any message at all when a foreign faction leader dies. He just dies in secret like usual.

[Bela]

Hmmm... try this:

monitor_event BecomesFactionLeader not FactionIsLocal
and FactionType england
historic_event newleader_england
end_monitor

And so on for all factions. As you will receive a message when your new leader is crowned, it's enough for inserting this for other factions. Maybe the "not FactionIsLocal" add was needed. And delete map.rwm.

[Ishan]

Bela has already told you and he is right and there is no need to delete map.rwm that's something different.

For king use this:-

monitor_event BecomesFactionLeader not FactionIsLocal
	and FactionType england
	historic_event newleader_england
	end_monitor

Event entry:-

{NEWLEADER_ENGLAND_BODY}blah blah blah
{NEWLEADER_ENGLAND_TITLE}English Coronation. Sounds better lol

For Princess:-

	monitor_event CharacterComesOfAge FactionIsLocal
		and AgentType = princess
		add_events
			event historic princess_local
		date 0
	end_add_events
	end_monitor

Event entry:-

{PRINCESS_LOCAL_BODY}A daughter of the royal court has turned sixteen and is ready to venture into the world on behalf of her family and country.
{PRINCESS_LOCAL_TITLE}A Princess Comes of Age

Try this it works 100% and you guys always should use code tag in your posts sometimes a space etc gets mixed up and that's why it doesn't works in game.

Good Luck Boba!

[BobaHat]

I really do not understand it. I've done exactly what you said but the Moorish sultan still dies with no message. Is the file supposed to be read only or something?

[Ishan]

What mod are u using? Is it mod foldered? Does it have it's own .cfg file?
And upload your CS and historic events.txt file.

[BobaHat]

I am using Bare_Kingdoms (was it Gigantus that made it? I can't remember - sorry)
Yes it has a cfg file and I have modded thousands of things in the mod with no problems.

Here are the two files.

[Ishan]

I don't know it looks ok to me, try to delete the default .cfg file in the main directory may be then it works but it's a wild guess.
And make sure that your historic events.txt file is not corrupt by deleting it's relevant .bin file.
