DOWNLOAD Stainless Steel 6.4

WINDOWS 7 OR VISTA USERS:
check this thread

WINDOWS 8+ USERS:
you may try same solutions for win 7
but better install everything
(STEAM, M2TW, SS6,4 and TITANIUM)
outside the Program Files folders,
as there is no effective way to disable the UAC.

7-zip is the recommended program for opening .7z files
Download it here

STEAM USERS:
check this thread

INSTALLATION:

Pre-setup checks
Make sure your copy of SS6.4 doesn't have any submods active.
It is highly recommended you had applied already G5 settlement fixes
although they can be added later to Titanium as well.

Stand Alone Titanium Method:
1-Extract 7z content into M2TW "mods" folder using 7-zip
You should have now a Titanium_Alpha folder in M2TW's "mods" one
2-Run the TITANIUM_SETUP.bat inside the Titanium_Alpha folder
this might take some time while the necessary files are copied from SS6.4.

SS6.4 converted into Titanium Method:
1-Rename "SS6.3" mod folder to "Titanium_Alpha"
2-Extract 7z content into M2TW "mods" folder using 7-zip and accept to overwrite
Effectively merging both Titanium_Alpha folders
3-Run TITANIUM_SETUP.bat inside the Titanium_Alpha folder
this method is much faster than the other.

G5 Settlement fixes
If you didn't apply these before and already installed titanium
all you have to do is open the G5_Settlement_Tweaks.7z file
navigate inside opening the SS6.3 subfolder
and drag the data folder into the Titanium_Alpha one

Final Step
Run SS_setup.exe and select a campaign
this will guarantee that everything is in place to play the mod properly.
Also is recommended to run the reset_map_and_sound.bat every time you switch campaigns.
Alternatively you may add these files into the mod folder, specially if your M2TW is not the English language version.

For Steam Users:
Inside the Folder "...\Titanium_Alpha\steam_users\strings.bin_backup\"
are the strings.bin files missing that medieval2.exe doesn't regenerate.
Copy them to "...\data\campaign\early\text" and "...\data\campaign\early1139\text".

Important
About Hotfixes\Updates
They will only work if applied after the setup process is fully completed, otherwise they will be ignored and deleted by the TITANIUM_SETUP.bat.

Use this same thread to report bugs/inconsistencies/etc

Also feel free for doing suggestions and criticism

Keep in mind this an alpha and most things are subject to change before the final product

- Fixed Pre Placed Stone forts in Battlemap, were previously showing as wooden forts.
- Cities and Castles can basically train the same troops, however Castles still have faster pool regen rates for previous castle only units, while cities for militias and professionals. Yes you can have Archery Ranges and Stables in cities now, in addition these buildings along barracks increase recruitment slots by 1.

Exciting! Hope I can play and give some proper feedback when I have more time. Great work to all involved.

is this compatible with your compilation?

**Melooo182** · October 12, 2014, 08:59 AM

Titanium is more like a standalone and already includes everything the bugfix compilation has.
If you mean if it's safe to install Titanium over a SS6.4 with the bugfix compilation, Yes it is

**gsthoed** · October 12, 2014, 01:16 PM

Some quick thoughts about v0.6 script:
a)about muslim_faction, catholic_faction counters etc: Only catholic_faction is useful and in only one case: In EDB for catholic lithuania. See (e) about this.

b) "Death of leaders" etc player notifications: The easiest optimization is to put "monitor_event FactionTurnStart not IsFactionAIControlled" instead of "monitor_event FactionTurnStart",
or, better, merge the code of this monitor into PreFactionTurnStart monitors of "whose turn is on" section.

c)"Loan script": I believe that this section might need an overhaul. Some notes:
1)

Code:

;Interests payment included in this monitor
monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionIsLocal

In hotseat, a faction can start its turn in human control and end in AI control. I think it's better if you use:

Code:

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd not IsFactionAIControlled

If this code has to run even if the local faction is under AIControl, it might be necessary we use "I_EventCounter is_the_ai = 0" and turn_fid counter instead of "I_LocalFaction".
2)"Dreadful Faction Leader?" and other:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

d)"PO Buildings, Re-emerge, Spawn armies"

Code:

;Global
monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType slave

I believe you should split this monitor into two monitors: one that contains all the non-"rebellion" parts and runs every slave's turn (you can use the FactionTurnEnd monitor in the "reset counters" section, but let's keep it simple) and one monitor that runs in slave's turns that "I_CompareCounter faction_emerge_id >= 1" is true.

e)About lithuania's conversion:
1) Questions: Can a lithuanian general join a crusade after the conversion? Can lithuania gets excommunicated?
2)In CS, "reset counters" and "whose turn is on" sections:

Code:

monitor_event PrefactionTurnStart

    set_event_counter CatholicLithuania 0
end_monitor

monitor_event PrefactionTurnStart FactionType lithuania

    if I_EventCounter lithuania_conversion_accepted = 1
        set_event_counter CatholicLithuania 1
    end_if 

end_monitor

About pagan temples, it says "religion pagan", I think we don't need to change anything, do we? EDIT: The following does not work. I don't know what I had done yesterday; today I didn't manage to make it work

Code:

**Mihi** · October 12, 2014, 04:04 PM

I am at the start of the campaign with the Scottish faction, and I noticed, that some resources are quite weird, like tobacco and camels in Brittain. I know, that I am nitpicking a little bit, but I just wanted to say that I noticed so... Otherwise not enought time to play it profoundly, the map is nice, the turn times are shorter (I think), and the price to buy a court envoy is quite high, don't you think? ... Looking forward for the process of improving of this mod.

In case it makes a difference, my faction had converted to Christianity before these started popping up

**gsthoed** · October 12, 2014, 05:20 PM

The new Faction Leader kept the Factionheir trait due to the removal of the antitrait (Exheir)...
Because of "Trigger Catholic_Lithuanian_King2" in EDCT, every lithuanian general acquires Factionleader...

Code:

;------------------------------------------
Trait Factionleader
 Characters family
 NoGoingBackLevel 1
 AntiTraits Factionheir, FactionUsurper, FactionFutureUsurper, Next_Heir_Trait, Desinherited_Trait

 Level Faction_Leader
   Description Faction_Leader_desc
   EffectsDescription Faction_Leader_effects_desc
   Threshold 1 
 
   Effect Authority 3 
   Effect PersonalSecurity 3 
   Effect Level 2 
   Effect Fertility 2

 ;*** CONVERTED PAGAN KINGDOM Level ***
 Level Faction_Leader
   Description Faction_Leader_desc
   EffectsDescription Faction_Leader_effects_desc
   Threshold 4 
 
   Effect Authority 3 
   Effect PersonalSecurity 3 
   Effect Level 3 
   Effect Fertility 2

;------------------------------------------
Trigger Catholic_Lithuanian_King2
 WhenToTest CharacterTurnStart

 Condition FactionType lithuania
       and CharacterReligion catholic
       and Trait Factionleader < 2

 Affects Factionleader 3 Chance 100

BTW, a quick fix for a trigger

Code:

;------------------------------------------
Trigger kingdoms_factionheir_turn0_catch
 WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd

 Condition I_TurnNumber = 0
        and IsFactionHeir
       and not FactionType teutonic_order
       and not FactionType venice
       and not FactionType milan
       and not FactionType russia
       and Trait Factionheir = 0
       and Trait FactionFutureRegent = 0
       and Trait FactionFutureUsurper = 0

 Affects Factionheir 1 Chance 100

**gsthoed** · October 12, 2014, 05:39 PM

And here is another fix, which includes a fix for the Factionheir trait that Deteriorate reported. Replace the "NHM" section in EDCT wit this:

Code:

;NHM
;------------------------------------------
Trigger Next_Heir_Trait_Ancillary_Remove
WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd

Condition Trait Next_Heir_Trait = 1
and not HasAncType NextHeirCrown

Affects Desinherited_Trait 2 Chance 100
;------------------------------------------
Trigger Next_Heir_Trait_Trigger
WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd

Condition IsGeneral
and not IsFactionLeader
and not IsFactionHeir
and HasAncType NextHeirCrown
and Trait Next_Heir_Trait = 0

Affects Next_Heir_Trait 1 Chance 100
 ;------------------------------------------
Trigger NHT_Fheir_fix
WhenToTest BecomesFactionLeader

Affects Next_Heir_Trait -1 Chance 100
Affects Factionheir -1 Chance 100

The Next_Heir_Trait_Trigger trigger, as it was without the last condition, was adding Next_Heir_Trait points at every CharacterTurnEnd. So, if a general had the ancillary for 20 turns and then this ancillary was passed to another General, he needed 20 turns to remove the trait and he was acquiring the Desinherited_Trait never.

Is the lack of a bridge in the Thrace region on purpose?

**Melooo182** · October 12, 2014, 06:52 PM

@gsthoed:
I included the whole religions event counters as maybe in a future mongols could to convert to islam or dunno, I leave it open as much could be done with it.

According to hearsay (since i haven't personally tested religion conversion in kingdoms teutonic campaign) Lithuania should be able to do everything any other catholic faction can, IE join crusades, get excomunicated, get bishops, cardinals and even vote in a pope.

I'll reply about the rest of your posts later

I am at the start of the campaign with the Scottish faction, and I noticed, that some resources are quite weird, like tobacco and camels in Brittain. I know, that I am nitpicking a little bit, but I just wanted to say that I noticed so... Otherwise not enought time to play it profoundly, the map is nice, the turn times are shorter (I think), and the price to buy a court envoy is quite high, don't you think? ... Looking forward for the process of improving of this mod.

@Mihi:
Thanks for reporting, but i believe the resources thing is a problem from the steam version of M2TW that has issues generating some strings.bin files, in my signature there is a link for a possible fix. About court envoys yeah cost could be reduced a tad but being able to steal many enemy generals at once can be considered OP.

@gsthoed:
@Deteriorate
Oops yeah indeed "Trigger Catholic_Lithuanian_King2" should have "and Trait Factionleader = 1" instead of "and Trait Factionleader < 2"

But i think we don't need the "Trigger NHT_Fheir_fix" if the faction leader traits (including usurper, regent, etc) have it in the antitraits.
Exheir trait and triggers were doing nothing AFAIK

@Stepparic:
can you post a screenshot of the exact map location?

**Alexius The UnOrthodox** · October 12, 2014, 06:57 PM

Hey theirs a crash when selecting the Turks. Main screen.

Let them start the high or late campaign as muslims. But even if you apply a religion conversion script for mongols, those changes I suggested above are a superior solution.

Exheir was used to remove Factionheir trait etc. The faction leader and faction heir traits you are refering to should be noted as anti-traits in the definitions of NHM traits too. Also, if we are to avoid "Trigger NHT_Fheir_fix", the "affects Factionheir 1 Chance 100" should become "affects Factionheir 2 Chance 100" in order the antitraits to work.
Also, there are a lot of triggers in EDCT that have not been adapted to the second level of trait Factionleader. Instead of "and Trait Factionleader = 1" or "and not Trait Factionleader = 1", you should have "and Trait Factionleader > 0" and "and Trait Factionleader = 0" respectively.
BTW: Since you are modifying Factionleader trait: How about merging Factionheir as the first level of Factionleader trait (and for coverted lithuanian leaders you use a different trait, like FactionleaderTO))
EDIT: In SSHIP they have done it well

Alright will put these in a patch

Although the civil unrest edit is not exactly what I intended xD, I wanted each unrest level to last at least 1 turn (ie if had unrest 3 it would take at least 3 turns to go away), aye it wasn't working like that because of the triggers order

still will put in some of those suggestion removing unnecessary conditions

**gsthoed** · October 13, 2014, 09:18 AM

Easy

and something like that goes for the removal triggers. Note the thresholds and the affect points.

Delete data/sounds/event.idx and .dat so the game regens them with updated data
or you can use the reset_map_and_sound.bat as well.

I forgot to remove those outdated files before uploading the thing

Ok, np, I will try the fix. Concerning the ladies, yep, it could be OP, maybe the time will tell if the people use this feature or not. Another thing, when I am trying to set the SS Setup, I get this error (attached pictures), any idea why? Thanks for your answer in advance...

I don't like the ladies feature too and I believe it should have been optional but anyway... About the bug:As of now, Titanium is incompatible with most of other submods. I am pretty sure that you have opted for RealBadAI_hardcore submod. Go to ~\data\campaign\sub. Open ReallyBadAI__Hardcore.txt. Replace both:

Code:

;=======================================================;
;================= ADDITIONAL SCRIPTS ==================;
;=======================================================;

with

Code:

;=======================================================;
;============ TITANIUM ADDITIONAL SCRIPTS ==============;
;=======================================================;

Save and exit. You can now check the RealBadAI_hardcore choice in SMM before restarting the campaign
