The S2 Script-o-Rama

[T.C.]

Another quick answer (again, more detail later tonight).

First, the function is CampaignUI.RegionsOwnedByFactionOrByProtectorates (it was updated after Empire), not CampaignUI.RegionsOwnedByFaction as documented in the OP here. But I'm guessing you didn't look at the documentation here because:
Second, the argument is a faction key, not context. Even if you were using context, you'd need to get context.string from a Faction event context.

I tried with OrByProtectorates and with faction name, but never both of them, because I thought the problem was elsewhere and because taking into account protecorates will cause some undesired effects in my calculations..

Thanks for the quick answer I will try those changes asap

Edit, It works perfect with context.string

There's a section on logging in the OP here, it can be very useful in nailing down errors. Eg get it to write "I'm at line x" every now and then, when it hits a bug the logging will stop with the rest of the code, and from there you can narrow your search.

Sorry for being a pain in the ass, but I'm trying to improve game experience increasing siege dificulty for human players.

I would like to avoid garrison scripts to save CPU time with huge functions to take into account several options. In exchange I would like to use techs or resources, so here is my question: Is there a way to add a tech or resource to a faction or province via script?

Thanks a lot for your unvaluable help.

Simply put, no.
In my betas of EiC v2.0 I'm running externally fed scripts amounting to over 6000 lines of code - with no noticeable lag Admittedly, in places I've had to spend time working on optimisation but in general Lua is a very fast language.

It's a pity, that could have saved a lot of time.., now we have to take into account each province name, coordinates, attacker, defender and some other variables to spawn an army.. I think I will keep working on other things until I get enough time to spend on that.

Thanks!

Give me a little more info on what you want, I could probably cut you a few corners

I need to think more about it, but It will be something like I did with Medieval II

Spawn several garrison units depending on city development, faction wealth and maybe game turn to make it harder at mid-late game. Those garrisons could be aslo faction dependant so Takeda get more cavalry, Chosocabe more archers, etc etc

I would like to take into account previous sieges to simulate depopulation after several tries, so it will be necesary some turns before having full garrison again

Is there an add_restricted_unit_record equivalent for technologies?

I know this is a huge necropost, but I'm wondering if you can change the name of a faction via scripting.

You don't need scripting for that. You can change faction names in factions.loc, located in local_en.pack/text/db. You need to change the string for factions_screen_name_<faction>.

[Sara Temer]

As I know, Palaiogos want change faction name in campaign time after completing preciselly conditions. I'm also wondering whether it is possible

[Collateral_dmg]

Well I think you should be able to. Aren't there scripts already that change factions name when one becomes shogun, or the shogunate/imperial vanguard in fots?

Wherever it is, I can't find it in campaigns -> jap_boshin -> scripting.lua. Right now, I'm going to try to make a custom mission, although I can't find a way to make the reward a change of name. I have so many scripting questions... I wish there were more mods in Shogun 2 which change scripts.

Hi
I need help, would be possible to change one building to another (or just destroy this building) by script? I have problem, that in my mod factions use garrison from another military group. It's not vissible in building description, but is visible on flag (and of course, game respawn this units in battle):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

So would it be possible to make a script that would work like this:
If faction la_numenor_kingdom conquer region then change building HAR_Castle_2 to DUN_Castle_2
and
If faction la_numenor_kingdom conquer region then destroy building chain HAR_Garrison
And apply this for all factions and all buildings with garrison?

Looks like creating logs with using a variable that contains the "CampaignUI" function in the TCS_Log_Update() arguments ctd's the game (Fots). Any idea why?
