Eomer in TATW 3.2 Rohan Campaign

[Savage5854]

I understand that Eomer doesn't have a custom general in TATW as he is not of age and it is not possible to have him become a specific character when he comes of age.

However I think that there are many who believe that Eomer should be made 16 at the start of the campaign in order to have custom portrait, traits etc, even though this contradicts lore. Those who like me have been influenced by the movies would definitely like to have Eomer has an actual general instead of a random portrait of a Northman. I should also add that he does become King of Rohan so he should at least look the part!

I know Emperor of Hell changed some scripts so that he was 16 at the start but that was only compatible with earlier versions of TATW, if this could be updated so it would work with Vanilla 3.2 it would be amazing, a proper Eomer is the only thing missing from my Rohan Campaign!

Cheers

In FRoGS eomer is in it at the start , with Eomer portrait.

This is no new matter, all modders know of it already and as no one obviously cared for it beside FRoGS* the best solution for you is to become your own unless you want to use that submod
*feel free to VM me if it's in any other and I update this


Here's a tutorial on how to make a portrait http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=346170&highlight=portrait
Open data/ui/custom_portraits and create a new folder named Eomer
Put the three .tga-files you have created** for Eomer in the Eomer-folder
**or if you may borrow FRoGS version


Add this to the Rohan section of generals in descr_strat.txt (after making a back up of it) found in data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign

character Eomer, named character, male, age 16, x 198, y 152, portrait Eomer        ;east emnet
traits LoyaltyStarter 1 , GoodCommander 2 , ReligionStarter 1 , Loyal 2 , Energetic 1 , Just 1
ancillaries rohan_second
army
unit  rohan bodyguards  exp 2 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit  militia    exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit  rohan scouts   exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

Change, a bit below, from this

character_record Morwen, female, age 49, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Elfhild, female, age 32, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Theodwyn, female, age 22, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Gleowyn, female, age 20, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Dernwyn, female, age 18, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Eomer, male, age 6, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Eowyn, female, age 5, alive, never_a_leader

into this [Theodwyn's age, Eomer's line should be completly removed and perhaps you want to change Eowyn's age as well but to something closer Eomer's but under 16]:

character_record Morwen, female, age 49, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Elfhild, female, age 32, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Theodwyn, female, age 32, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Gleowyn, female, age 20, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Dernwyn, female, age 18, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Eomer, male, age 6, alive, never_a_leader
character_record Eowyn, female, age 5, alive, never_a_leader

Open data/world/maps/base and there delete map.rwm
In new campaigns Eomer will be present


If there's any questions or problems post your questions in the Mod Workshop, the part of the froum for modding matters and where skilled modders are plenty and helpful
