How To Create a New Faction (using Normans/Saxons)

[Lord Condormanius]

@Johnny

check your error log...

also...

1. if you want the settlement to be a castle you have to put "settlement castle" instead of settlement.
2. motte_and_bailey is the starting building for a village level settlement a small town would need a wooden castle, a town would need a castle, etc.

those are just a couple of things that I notice just glancing at your entry...I can't say if this will solve all of your problems, but the way you have it now will cause your game to crash.

alright thanks I'll change that back to a village. If you make it a small_town and it has no buildings will it crash? because the way the guy set it up the city was way to big for me ( I like to start small) so I would just put no buildings in the building brackets, no?

also, when putting units in if they are not saxon units will that cause a problem? because they show up as a black peasant in custom and they silver and shiny unit models on the battle map.

thanks for your help guys!

A small town has to at least have a wooden pallisade or a wooden castle. Only a village (that is not a castle) can have no buildings at all, in which case, you would not even put the word building in the entry.

The reason your units show up all wierd-looking is because they have to be added to the modelsdb file...there is a tutorial somewhere around here about that...be careful, this file can be quite temperamental.

Don't forget to check your error log. It will not tell you about modelsdb errors, but it will let you know about most other things.

I can make the Normans thing work but not the saxons. I made sure all the names were correct, I deleted the rebel settlement york and the army there... I put my general and princess/wife in the York coordinates... I'm not sure whether to put trader henry or sailor napoleon so i tried both (u started with henry then changed to napoleon) then I made everything just like yours but when I click saxons on menu then click start campaign it does the lightning storm sound then just goes back to the main menu. I can't even play as any faction now. No campaign works, just goes back to menu. only works with normans.

Now, when ur the normons u have a intro video but the saxons do not. Is that a problem here?

[JohnnyJigger]

I'm at a loss. I got the Wales and Ireland mods to work and they work fine and I did exactly what they did in stat.txt file but the computer seems to just hate saxons and soesn't want them to play the campaign... i will be stuck in wales forever... lol

[Giaus Marius]

Im making Ireland a faction in RTW, and i was wondering casn u use a custom made picture as a flag as my friend made a good one on photoshop.

[JohnnyJigger]

yes I think so, the one I have the faction flag is a white x with a green background. a different color of the scottish flag. I think you can make the flag different but I'm not that advanced.

hey btw has anyone go the saxons working on Grand Campaign? I try everything and no go. I check error log and it say something about can't find character Portrait for saxons and can't find .tga stuff. it confusing.
Anyone who got theirs working can u post the code so I can copy you please? that would be appreciated thanks.

[Lord Condormanius]

when I click saxons on menu then click start campaign it does the lightning storm sound then just goes back to the main menu.

I told you...CHECK YOUR ERROR LOG...chances are, it will tell you what the problem is.

If yu are trying to add the Saxons with the Ireland mod installed, it may not work. I think the Ireland mod uses the Saxons to make Ireland.

yes I checked my error log and it said can't find saxon character portrait and other .tga files and it says expecting 2 more factions??

i will remove ireland mod and try again but is there a certain order in the code that u have to follow?

in the norman prologue it says saxons are balanced mao (whatev that means)
but in tutorial it says sailor napoleon what is difference

also, character
character Maximillian Zirn, named character, male, leader, age 40 xy coordinates...
traits Factionleader 1 , do u need a space THEN a comma or just comma like:
traits Factionleader 1,

and in the welsh and ireland factions sections they don't specify who is leader or heir yet they work fine.

character Johann Zirn, named character, male, heir, age 18, x and y ...
traits Factionheir 1 , and then u have traits but do u have to list heir?

and in character record thats for wife of leader right?
character_record Clare, female, age 40, alive, never_a_leader

and relations is who is all connected by family blood i think
relative Maximillian Zirn, Johann Zirn, Clare, end
do u have to include last names?

and I DID check error log it is confusing and i tried to put saxon portrait in but it didn't work. in norman prologue it says 'portait harold' after the x y coordinates of the saxon king, i tried that but it dont work

[Lord Condormanius]

yes I checked my error log and it said can't find saxon character portrait and other .tga files and it says expecting 2 more factions??

The character protrait is UI info and shouldn't matter. I have never seen this "expecting 2 more factions" before, but it sounds pretty serious.

i will remove ireland mod and try again but is there a certain order in the code that u have to follow?

I don't know what you mean by this, but I usually add all of my new factions at the end.

in the norman prologue it says saxons are balanced mao (whatev that means)
but in tutorial it says sailor napoleon what is difference

it is the faction's AI personality. It can be any one of the preset AI descriptions. If I were you, I would stay out of the Norman campaign folder. It has no bearing on the "Grand Campaign" and you'll just get all balled up looking through that stuff. Some of the file names are the same and it just gets confusing and hard to keep track of which ones you have changed.

also, character
character Maximillian Zirn, named character, male, leader, age 40 xy coordinates...
traits Factionleader 1 , do u need a space THEN a comma or just comma like:
traits Factionleader 1,

don't put a space before any commas. it is helpful if you put the entire line of code when you ask for help instead of trailing off at the end. otherwise it makes it harder for me to help you.

and in the welsh and ireland factions sections they don't specify who is leader or heir yet they work fine.
character Johann Zirn, named character, male, heir, age 18, x and y ...
traits Factionheir 1 , and then u have traits but do u have to list heir?

I guess that's not the problem then. You don't have to list an heir, but I usually do.

and in character record thats for wife of leader right?
character_record Clare, female, age 40, alive, never_a_leader

character record is for any character that does not have a unit in the game (wives, children that have not come of age, etc.).

and relations is who is all connected by family blood i think
relative Maximillian Zirn, Johann Zirn, Clare, end
do u have to include last names?

you include the names exactly as they appear in the entry. the way you have it set up is wierd. It should be faction leader, {TAB} Wife, {TAB} Child 1, {TAB} end

and I DID check error log it is confusing and i tried to put saxon portrait in but it didn't work. in norman prologue it says 'portait harold' after the x y coordinates of the saxon king, i tried that but it dont work

again, don't base anything on the Norman Campaign. There's a lot of wierd stuff going on there.

If you can post your error log after you run the game that might help me see what's up.

[JohnnyJigger]

yes i have made the names and coordinates in york and the names are saxon names and everything is in order. I think it is the fact that there is no intro movie that is making it not work every other mod has english intro but not saxons. I will post error log then attatch the strat file ok?

@johnny

a couple of things...

Have you unpacked your files? It doesn't look like it from this log. Also...there were quite a few errors in your descr_strat entry for the Saxons (misplaced and omitted commas, extra spaces and line breaks, etc.).

LC

I'll take a closer look at it when I get a chance.

[JohnnyJigger]

alright thanks for bein a pal and checkin it out. Well I downloaded and instaleld the 1.1 patch and ran the unpacker so I can see all the files like data files and all that stuff but i tried to make it look like other faction's code but I guess I'm not very good at that.

alright thanks ill be awaitin the feedback

[Vorge]

Im having some trouble. Everything works well that I see so far, but when I finish loading on the loading screen it says Victory Conditions Failed. I don't know what do do... I've made sure there isn't a slave garrison in the city also. But if I play as another faction, i.e. england. They are eliminated by the time the game starts and its just a rebel city.

[frankus]

hey guys, well this must sound very newby but I can't find the export_descr_buildings folder plz help me

[selenius4tsd]

Magic word: Unpacker.

Alright. So right now Ive followed your code to the tee. Here is my problem, once I select any faction to play in the Grand Campaign it just sends me back to the 1 player menu. And then I can't get back to the Grand Campaign. So here is what I have.

[Bongfu]

I dont have any of the text files, except descr_start. Is it beacuse I am using the Direct 2 Drive version?

[Vorge]

You have to have patch 1.1 and have run the unpacker that comes with it.
