Released Correct Colonies mod

[uanime5]

I always thought it was odd that Britain, France, and Spain had to work obtain their own colonies so I made a mod where they start with them. This mod changes the scripting.lua to automatically gives Britain the Thirteen Colonies, France Louisiana, and Spain New Spain on their first turn. Unfortunately on the players first turn the AI factions don't have their colonies because they haven't had their first turn yet but the only way to make all factions start with their colonies would be to edit all the startpos.esf files, which would make the mod much larger.

To install download the scripting.rar, unpack it, and replace the scripting.lua in whichever Darthmod folder you use (usually DMUC_Mmain or DMUC_Umain). The default location for the Darthmod folders is 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\data\campaigns'.

I'm fairly sure that each of the versions of Darthmod use the same scripting.lua so it should be compatible with all version of Darthmod (except Warpath and Late Commander as they don't have the Thirteen Colonies, Louisiana, or New Spain).

Updated this mod so that if you play as Britain, France, or Spain the other two factions will get their colonies during the player's first turn to prevent the player getting an unfair advantage. If you play as any faction other than Britain, France, or Spain these three faction's won't get their colonies until after you end your first turn.

I can further edit this mod so that Britain, France, and Spain will automatically get their colonies at the start of this mod regardless of which faction is selected if anyone wants it. I can also update the Startpos.esf files if anyone want me to.

Hey man great idea! ive downloaded it and extracted the script file where exactly do i put it as there are a lot of script files in the campagins folder

[uanime5]

I don't know which campaign each folder represents, so I'm not sure. I think they represent the following:

DMUC_Cmain: Darthmod version of the vanilla campaign?
DMUC_Lmain: Late campaign
DMUC_Mmain: Empire Commander
DMUC_Umain: Ultimate Commander
DMUC_Uprising: Warpath

So it needs to go in the DMUC_Mmain and DMUC_Umain folders.

DMUC_C is the custum campaign with the minor factions.
