Traits Cheats not working

[ross73194]

so im playing a "screw around" campaign as in i just use cheats to rule the world for the fun of it. So i go to put in a trait for my diplomat and it says "Character not recognized" I made sure i spelled the name correctly and everything and still no dice. So i go to put the "GoodAttacker" trait for william the conquerer and it says the same thing. Is there a way to fix this?

The names ormat is in descr_names.txt and names.txt. Capitals do get used and so do underlines in the right places.

ahh alright thankyou


edit: My unpacker to unpack all the files is "Missing" something so it wont unpack.

[irishron]

msvc71*.dll? They are in the main Medieval2 folder. Just copy/paste them to the unpacker folder.

ohh i didnt know u had to do that, lol well thanks again

[gaunty14]

alternativley use

give_trait "this" GoodCommander , you need to have the character selected though

and you need to use their last names rather than the epithet ie "William Smith" rather than "William the Pious"

in the case of a character having 3 words in their name ie "Otto von Kessel" type "Otto von_Kessel"

how great is this. I unpack it and now i cant play a damn game

[irishron]

Did you delete the two geography files listed in the readme?

[ross73194]

*sigh* no. must of not been full attentive while reading the readme

[irishron]

[irishron]

Im having trouble with my cheats_ including the trait one_ they all used to work but now the traits dont (theres no error message just nothing happens) and when i go to create units it comes up with the same error message that my garrison is full- no matter what i do the same message appears. and the process_rq but then that never really worked. i tried deleting all saved games and re installing but i still have same problem, any help?

[irishron]

CA disabled process_rq in RTW 1.1 and never enabled it in Medieval2.
As far as traits, if you don't have the character's name exact, nothing will happen and some traits are broken and others don't work with the console.

Okay, but what about the create_unit cheat? whyd it stop working and keep giving me the error? It did work a fair bit but i think i played a custom battle and then kept giving me the err after that. any ideas?

[irishron]

The name of the unit has to be exact as in the export_descr_units.txt I believe.

What the real name is and what shows up on screen many times are two different things depending on the faction.

Yeah but thats just it i type it all in correctly (i only use Knights Templar) so when ever i got it wrong itd always be corrected and when the cheat is perfect it would say :
err: could not add unit(s) because garrison already contains maximum units

it never used to say that :S but the garrisons that i try adding to could litrally be a one man army and itd still come up with that error

[irishron]

Then it's something else the game is reading, possibly a full stack within the same region.

I haven't tried it since Rome.

[TimberWolf137]

Alright, thanks anyway. I will try a few things and look past page 10 on google and see what comes up cheers
