Deleting Factions

[JWoods]

What (files) need to be edited to delete factions in BI? I know how to do this in RTW but am having problems in BI. I also want to get rid of the emergent factions completely.. Tips appreciated

to get rid of a faction just give them 1 character at the beginning and then you should get a faction destroyed message at the beginning. Also you need to remove the entry emergent and dead_until_resurrected lines in descr_strat and modify the descr_sm_factions.txt and remove spawned_on _event or shadowing... parts under emergent factions

Dr. Fox,

Have tried getting rid of the Alemanni as below. This ALWAYS worked with RTW just changing the x/y coordinates a bit. For some reason this CTD even though the Alemanni is just a basic faction no spawning etc. Faction also changed to non playable. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

JW

Does it CTD as you pan across the campaign map or will it even load? Have you added show_err to your target path? That didn't help me though because it never showed any errors after CTDing. I just got through flushing the Brutii, Scipii, Senate, and Thrace from RTW 1.5 and had to remove the references to those factions from the creator lines in descr_strat_txt and the culture line in descr_regions_txt to get it to work. I know in RTW that if you remove a faction completely those steps have to be done unless they never was listed in those files. I know I'm talking about RTW not BI but maybe this info might prove useful.



Good Luck.

Additional to Dr. Fox info - you also need to remove the britain resource from the descr _regions export_descr_buildings files.

I still got the Romano Brits to reappear without removing that (Or at least I think thats why they reappeared despite starting as faction destroyed!).
