how do i make all factions start with good relations to the pope

how do i make all factions start with good relations to the pope and if possible slow down or keep the same rate or 'crosess''

how do i make all factions start with good relations to the pope.

Descr_strat.txt file is what you want.
Open it and scroll down to the bottom of the file and change it to something like this:-

faction_standings	papal_states,		1.0	england

faction_standings	england,		1.0	papal_states

Where 1.0= means perfect relations
And min max lies from -1.0 to 1.0.

and if possible slow down or keep the same rate or 'crosess''

Yes in the campaign_script.txt file you put this script for eg:-

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType england
	set_faction_standing Papal_States England 1.0
	set_faction_standing England Papal_States 1.0
	end_monitor

^Though i'm not 100% certain about this so don't quote me on this.

Good Luck!

[TNZ]

101% certain.

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType england
		set_faction_standing england papal_states 1.0
	end_monitor

[Ishan]

Lol thanks TNZ for taking a look in to it +rep.

[Gigantus]

set_faction_standing Papal_States England 1.0 ;the pope loves you
set_faction_standing England Papal_States 1.0 ;you love the pope

The first line is the important one, the second one isn't necessary (but makes sense to put it)

[Kuroi]

Is it possible to put 2 fraction in a permament war?
I set in Descr_strat that two fractions have minimal relations (-1.0) and a war from the beginning but they still sign peace after few turns.

Is it possible to fix it?

[iMember]

Yes about a script:

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType england
        and DiplomaticStanceFromFaction france = neutral
                     console_command diplomatic_stance england france AtWar
        
end_monitor

I'm not sure about the AtWar here: Maybe the command is different...

              console_command diplomatic_stance england france AtWar

[rageallday]

ok i was able to make the pope love me initially but not keep the crosses at the top with those scripts above.


i pasted them at the bottom just before end script but nothing.

crosses still vanish after attacks etc

[Gigantus]

very close, correct is :
console_command diplomatic_stance england france, war

This monitor will keep england in top favor with the papal states, note the sequence of the faction names

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType england
set_faction_standing papal_states england 1.0
end_monitor

Gig i used a small script for fake kalmar union in my mod and used this command to make relations good for Norway and Denmark.
I used the command like this in it:-

set_faction_standing papal_states england 1.0

^And it didn't worked
And then used:-

set_faction_standing Papal_states England 1.0

And it worked and i'm not sure was something wrong in my script prior to that or this was the reason but mainly in all the conditions and event there is no need of using a capital letter.

But i'm not sure about this when using this command though it works but i din't checked without caps again.

[Gigantus]

I don't think it was the capitalization, in the end the factions are not capitalized in the descr_sm_factions. And that's where the script get the names from.
From looking at some of the events (eg GeneralCaptureSettlement) it appears as if the script is sensitive, I vaguely (getting old, I know) remember an error that was purely related to capitalization of an event.

Gigantus: So the order of the faction names is important when using the ‘set_faction_standing’ command. That is good to know.

rageallday: You could try adding a new trigger to the ‘descr_faction_standing’ file, something like this might work:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Trigger 0050_P_Good_Catholic
    WhenToTest FactionTurnStart

    Condition Religion catholic
              and not FactionExcommunicated

    FactionStanding factions { papal_states } 0.6

You can also use the 'diplomatic_stance' command to make factions neutral towards one another or even make them allies:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

console_command diplomatic_stance england france allied

console_command diplomatic_stance england france neutral

console_command diplomatic_stance england france war

does that excomunication trigger work?

i put it at the bottom of the text inside the file

[Gigantus]

Now you have me confused:

1. Which excommunication trigger?
2. Inside which file?

[TNZ]

This new trigger for the descr_faction_standing’ file.

Trigger 0050_P_Good_Catholic
    WhenToTest FactionTurnStart

    Condition Religion catholic
              and not FactionExcommunicated

    FactionStanding factions { papal_states } 0.6

[Gigantus]

You can also use the 'diplomatic_stance' command to make factions neutral towards one another or even make them allies:

And there it doesn't matter in what sequence the factions are, the setting applies to both.

[Gigantus]

Oh, that one. Yes, that will work, provided you are a catholic faction and not excommunicated.

And here I thought someone had figured out how to excommunicate a faction via script. A short hope, cruelly smashed to smithereens.

[rageallday]

i put the trigger at the bottom of the file but the 'crosses'' still seem to vanish as time goes on..is this normal?

if this is not normal,where should i put the trigger in the file /is the trigger working.

even after adding it HRE got excommed?

[Ishan]

In which file you are putting it?

edit: hurrah working
