How to figure shia mosques

**Byzantineboy** · November 18, 2012, 10:40 AM

Hi people, i am modding some minors things for BC 2.3.2.2,
For the moment, i have a little problem, i want to create shia mosques on my buildings files but i don't find the good connexion between my EDB and my export_building (I have added shia jama, masjids, in both, ... but it doesn't work)

Other question,
i don't succeed to figure my new buildings, the shia mosques on the battle map...
Do you have an idea how to do?

I am no scripter, but you should find the answer, if you trace all entries for the Kaaba in 2.3.2.2 scripts. There are also some interesting threads in the "mod workshop" and on the .org that may help you.

IWTE or maxscript?

Thanks Megalitho for your advice

Are you adding Shia as another religion?

Here's a guide to moving buildings around: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=444352

Yes yes, it's done

It works perfectly

But my real question was:
I want shia mosques and orthodox churches on the battle map (when there is a battle on a settlement)
Do you think it's possible?

Shia Mosques? never heard of such thing in Vanilla M2TW or BC,did you created one?

**Byzantineboy** · November 20, 2012, 06:40 AM

Yes, I have modded one (edit: Not in 3D or something; I just add it as building in order to subsitute it to the sunna one for Sindh; UI are the same than the vanilla one)

Sindh is shia now
(And for Oman, in fact, I know that Ibadism is not shiism, but I put them shia because they are not sunna)
But I will surely create a new Ibadite religion

Sorry for my bad english

I have edited shias mosques/madrassas in the text files and UI for my minimod, http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...6#post12259686
But i didn't create a new 3D mosque model.
My question was: During a siege, i want to see a mosque (as usal), even it is a shia mosque; how to do? (same thing for orthodox church in vanilla which never appear during a siege) ; the usual islam model is sufficient for this. According to me, we don't need to create a new model.

Ah, OK. I assume, you need a set of "shia" worldpckdesc files. Those files define the appearence of 3D building models on the battlefield.
To the orthodox churches: The eastern_european and the greek culture seem to be sub types of northern_european respectively south_european culture. Those cultures (greek & eastern_european) behave sometimes a little bit unpredictable, at least for me
