[Released]Orocarni minor subfactions + FoG for Leo's 4.6 patch

[Kiliç Alì]

Submod for Leo's unofficial patch 4.6

Bulk and Purpose:

This sub-mod is mostly based on .txt modification, its purpose is to add depth and drama by putting some "sub-factions" inside the main faction, each with some peculiar carachteristic.

It removes the family tree view for the Orocarni dwarves; each new general must be adopted. This gives the faction the feel of being a "league", wich makes it quite unique when compared to other factions like Rohan, Harad, or even the western Dwarves.
Newly adopted generals will have a proper "clan" trait (Ironfist, Stiffbeard, etc) wich gives via epithet the respective byname, and a custom texture on strat-map, basically the same one with different colour of the mantle (unless somene else does a better one, I'm quite a crappy texturer).
Such generals will have different loyalty and unrest depending on the clan the leader belongs to; when the leader changes, so do their stats. This affects also income in settlements.
Also, each general gains a specific clan bonus; i.e. Ironfists get +1 command and troop morale.

Since I made it for my pleasure first, I had already included some other things; instead of re-doing everything I'm just releasing it as is.

Additional things coming with this:

"General with blank name" bug fix.
Removed "jihad" references from some text files.
"Fiefs of Gondor" submod (wich was never ported to 3.2) with a sort of "B.B.B." for human factions.
"Boromir in Plate armor" submod by Emperor of Hell.
"Dwarven Family Tree" minimod by Ngugi.

Status:

It is done, just need someone confirm the pack is working (AKA "Didn't forget to include some file").

Good call, will add this to the submod Index

[Kiliç Alì]

So it is actually working? Yay!

It would be even greater if Return of the King 3.0 (and maybe Reunited kingdom) were included!

Great sub-mod. Thank you Kılıç Ali..

[leo.civil.uefs]

This is what the community needs, dynamics, variations, good ideas.

+rep.

As for the orocarni addond itself, Im studyng to add it to my 4.6.1, but as I have no time to test it, I will watch this thread for now.

Good stuff Kilic. The clan name epithet is a nice touch.

I think that you will also need a LesserGeneralOfferedForAdoption trigger for man of the hour adoptions.

If you wish to prevent the epithet from being replaced with one from another trait, e.g. "the Cruel", then you could make a second (hidden) trait that gives the epithet. Each turn remove that second trait and re-give it, using the presence of your trait as a condition in its trigger. e.g. If he has the Ironfist trait then remove and re-give the IronfistEpithet trait. Similar to this: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...1#post13169870

Thanks, I had that vague sensation I was forgetting something...

As for the epithet remover thing, I don't want this feature (the strat_model tooltip and the traits scroll already give the info, even the epithet itself is redundant tbh) but thanks for the tip anyway I'll post a new updated resource soon, with instructions about models_strat levels too.

EDIT resource updated

[leo.civil.uefs]

I followed your resrouce for adding the orocarni feature but got a CTD and this from the log:

14:30:49.635 [game.script] [error] Condition parsing error in mods/Third_Age_3/data/export_descr_character_traits.txt, at line 21236, column 17
Condition parser doesn't recognise this token: T_TurnNumber

It seems that the CTD is actually related with changes in descr_cracracter.txt and descr_model_strat.txt, the log says there was not enough memory to load textures or something like that. I changed the files back and the campaign runned ok.

I also dont want different colors for general models in stratmap, so I obviously dont need to create new textures, but then how descr_cracracter.txt and descr_model_strat.txt will be? Could you please post the entries? Or could I just keep these files as my 4.6 ones are?

[Kiliç Alì]

first error: should be "I_Turn..." instead of "T_Turn..." speling error eheh. It is in export_derscr_character_traits. Should not lead to CTD tought.

not enough memory error: the texture descr_models_strat file is referencing to are missing.
If you want to keep the old ones, you don't need to create new one, you can use the already existing one; go to descr_character and set the saxon entry to this:

faction            saxons
dictionary        2
strat_model        dwarf_general_stiffdwarf_general            ;0 Stiff
strat_model        dwarf_general            ;1 heir
strat_model        dwarf_general            ;2 leader
strat_model        dwarf_general_irondwarf_general            ;3 Iron
strat_model        dwarf_general_stonedwarf_general            ;4 Stone
strat_model        dwarf_general_blackdwarf_general            ;5 Black
battle_model    odwarf_General
battle_equip    gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

Need any help\clarification, shot me a PM
