Question about editing events

[von_neurath]

I would like to add Moors as a new faction in BI and I would like them to appear at a certain date as the slavs emerge. How do I create such an evet and what are the triggers to be modded? I imagine is not as easy to write a new event in he events lists...

Umm I pretty certain thats not something thats possible. You can edit in events like disaters (plagues, storms, etc...) but I believe thats all, anything else would have to be hardcoded in.

Correct me if Im wrong.

You would also need to replace some other faction (21 factions limit), as wells as to assign units to Moor faction.

From good side most of the unit cards and textures are already done (berber units in red).

You can make another one of the existing BI factions emerge as per the slavs, then modify the faction so that the screen name appears as Moors / Moorish etc, instructions for changing apparent faction name and adding units etc. are elsewhere in forums.

To make another faction emerge you first need faction that is able to horde (I wouldn't try using any of the factions that already have quirks i.e. Romano Brits or Ostragoths), then;

In desc_strat_txt move faction to nonplayable in top listing, change their faction section to three line one like slavs with 'dead_until_resurrected' line, delete all character references, cut and paste all settlements belonging to them into rebels or another factions section to change ownership (NB these settlements won't then have armies in them unless you add new armies belonging to the faction you've assigned them to)

In descr_events.txt add trigger in same format as for slavs ammended for your faction and year, province you choose to emerge in MUST border edge of map or they won't come on.

In descr_sm_factions.txt add ', spawned_on_event' after your chosen faction name.

In historic_events.txt add {THE_FACTION_EMERGE_TITLE} and {THE_FACTION_EMERGE_BODY} and whatever text you want to see.

Its a while since I did this so don't shoot me if I've missed anything.

thank you all. I'll try to see if it will work
