Technology text table

[Alex647]

I've recently added an extra effect to the age of unification tech from the Bretonnia faction that does a 50+ diplomacy bonus to the wood elves faction. However, though I was successful in making the effect, I couldn't see the description ingame. Is there a text table that has all the techs description? I'm unable to find it.

Did you create a new effect for the diplomacy bonus? I'm not aware of an existing WElf bonus, only a penalty, so I'm assuming that you did. You'll need to create a new top-level directory named "text". Create a sub in "text" named "db" (see below*). Inside "db" you'll need a localisation file where you can create the text to appear in-game in association with your custom effect using the tag template: effects_description_[effect key]. In the localised string just use %n for any numbers you want displayed (you can also do stuff like [HIDDEN] for hidden effects, [[img:icon.jpg]][[/img]] for icons, and so on).

Easiest way, if you haven't already, is to just go on the Workshop and look for one of the "34857389475 new skills for LLs!!" mods. Open it up in PFM, export their .loc, then import the whole text directory that creates into your .pack file. Delete their stuff and add your own just like any other table. Also make sure that your effect is in effects_tables with whatever it is you want.

Dunno why they yanked those tables. It's a real brick wall to people who haven't been modding for a while.
