N Turns Per Year - 1 Winter Only

[Morfans]

While GED's script is generally functional, it requires Winter to be the starting and ending turn each year.

Additionally, there are some pathological cases in which alternating seasons are unavoidable, as reported by others in GED's thread. I don't know exactly why, but the cause must be something external, interfering with GED's scheme between the "slave" turn and the human player start.

So I worked out this one which is all internal to the human player turn.

Basically, before your turn starts, every season is set to Summer, then at the start one is conditionally set to Winter, like this:

 
;;; -----  TURNS PER YEAR  -----
 
monitor_event PreFactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
 console_command season summer
end_monitor
 
declare_counter tpycount
set_counter tpycount 1
monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
 
 if I_CompareCounter tpycount == 4 
  console_command season winter
  set_counter tpycount 0
 end_if
 
 inc_counter tpycount 1 
 
end_monitor

Tested on a number of Kingdoms mods (including the pathological ones) and it works.

It goes without saying, descr_strat.txt must be modified accordingly.

Also, the example is for 4 turns per year, but changing to N turns is straightforward

You need to do this in the 'descr_strat' file:

1. The 'start_date' need to be set to summer.

2. The 'timescale' need to be set to 0.25.

Then you need to add the script to the 'campaign_script' file.

Oops! I missed this one. Thanks, TNZ

The script can be added just anywhere in campaing_script.txt, between the "script" and "wait_monitors" statements.
