Modding Q&A's

[sgtkatharn]

I have another question in relation to my edicts mod I am trying to find where to change the properties for the edict button frame and its behaviour

[Geleco]

How do I make certain textures completely invisible (i.e. transparent)?

I made a mod that applies the James skin to one of the Greek generals. I am trying to make his armor and tunic textures completely invisible. I managed to do the armor but I can't figure out the tunic (at least I think it's the tunic).

^^ There are screenshots there that can kind of show the problem. Some of his old textures are clipping through the new variantmesh I put on.

Hello all im a noob here and im trying to make a unit. I was following the video but I have the red land units. I downloaded the schema 42zip and i just need to know what to do with it. Thanks

[crzyrndm]

Unzip into the PFM directory. It should ask you if you wish to replace 5 files. Yes to all.

What do the melee_hn_to_xholds, melee_xholds_knockback, and melee_xholds_stepback do?

[Le_Swede]

Is there a good and noob friendly guide around on the forum which teaches how to make mercenaries?

[Le_Swede]

I'm also having troubles making the shields appear on the units I've created that are weilding falxes. With every other type of unit I'm not having this problem, which seems to suggest that falxes are under some special rule in this regard.

Is this thread dead or something? Not trying to be rude or anything but it seemed to be alive quite recently.

How I can make CAI to make custom made units in campaign?

How I can make CAI to make custom made units in campaign?

If I understand you correctly you want to find out how to create new units that are useable in the campaign.

If that is so then these two guides will help you achieve that:

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...ide&p=13565949

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-unit-with-PFM



The first link is a basic guide on how to use the assembly kit.
The second link takes you through the steps of creating custom made units using the PFM but can be used as a guideline (with few alterations) to achieve the same result in the assembly kit.

[Mithridates VI]

I know that but thanks for anyway. I mean that how you can make that AI will make them in campaign.

[Le_Swede]

As long as they are recruitable I would presume that the AI will have access to recruiting them and will do so in the same quantity as they recruit similar troops. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello, I want to edit general's background skill in my save game, I opened it with EditSf and found CAMPAIGN_SKILL_BLOCK. There's four lines in CAMPAIGN_SKILL_BLOCK -0, first line is skill name, then a 0, then a strange line with a strange number and last is a 1. I changed skill name both in CAMPAIGN_SKILL_BLOCK -0 and CAMPAIGN_SKILL, but it doesn't work unless I change the strange number in third line. What is that number? So if I want to change the background skill can I find the related number anywhere? THX and sorry for my poor English

I did it by myself!! The number is in character_skill_nodes, change skill name and the number then you change the skill!!

Q: Is it possible to swap starting regions between factions? (startpos.esf Is where to do it, but can anyone briefly outline how)

A: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...e-Assembly-Kit

this what you're looking for?

One question though,
Q: Is it possible to modify dillema's and events ? And especially to give them triggers
(For Example: dignitary in allied province, general in city with X building),
effects(fe: give trait to character or general, increase relation with alied faction if dillema is success)
and especially naming dependencies (correct name of general, dignitary , allied province or city)?

How do you edit remaining movement points for armies?

this is probably a bad place to ask, but what the hell
is here likea thread where I can upload my mod and have someone check what I did wrong? because I can't find it

[redxavier]

How practical (read easy) is it to have each settlement/region be its own province?

Make a thread in the appropriate subforum (depending on what you're editing. DB editing for database, ESF for startpos, etc.) and attach your pack with it.

I'm not entirely sure whether that is just the database, or if it's cooked into the map. One would be relatively easy, but if it's in the map we need to wait for CA to release the required ools and information.

[fuzzyballs01]

it's units
10 of them

and I don't have permissions apparently, great forum!
