General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)

[Jojo00182]

so all console commands work?
I do not understand....

Many of the console commands ingame only worked from the campaign_script and not from the medieval-shell (console).
Examples are: process_rq, recruitment_pool, capabilites,...

Either use the tool to get a list of console commands or put
output_con_cmds = 1 under[misc]

In your config to get a Medieval2/documentation/console_commands.txt

The link is not the good one or you have forgotten to include the music file i think . I have tried by creating myself a music folder with a m2tweop.mp3, but without result, and i see no parameter that i could activate (unless i am blind?). But the console commands are here.

you do all like here?


Later I will add a volume setting, or maybe something else.


Gigantus

why not?

I think reliability is more important.

New test version:

Fixed detection of the game version.

fixed unlocking of console commands - it didn't work for tactical map before (thanks to Jojo00182 for help)


fixed cost change for siege equipment


added the ability to adjust the music volume in the launcher


Probably this is almost all, it remains to add a couple of parameters to the launcher that allow you to adjust the screen resolution in the game, as well as windowed mode, anti-aliasing and shadows.
Nobody remembers other problems?

the game starts already, but so far it doesnt apply patches. The siege equipment prices doesnt change, its all I have tested so far but is not working.

Make sure to rule out a virtual store issue, run this tutorial from step 3 onward. Steam also has a nasty habit of keeping modding content in memory: I was battling with an issue I had intentionally created in Bare Geomod for a while and when I re-installed BG the issue was back after the first restart.

Suggest to rename the mod folder, simply add a letter, and adjust your CFG file entry accordingly for the time being. Steam stops doing it's nasty stuff after a few days, Steam game cache related I presume, same benign mess as the virtual store - to protect us from ourselves.

Yes. I have tested with the last version, and the result is the same, with or without admin rights, and whatever the setting of the volume button (saved of course). And a new launch changes nothing.

EDIT: the problem seems to be that the default volume of the tool is very very low, i need to set everything to max to hear something, and even then it's just a low sound.

Gigantus, the issue was with the tool itself, the new update works without need of changing any file and works and change of the siege equipment prices now works again, and I presume the rest of the tool too.

Everything seems to play at normal volume. Standard windows functions are used to play the mp3 file, so it probably depends on the playback media you have installed (codecs, etc.)

[Lord Baal]

For me was the same. The volume seems too low, even at 100 I had to crank up the speakers volume knob to listen the music at a normal level (and everything else at wild party levels).

Nevertheless is just a cosmetic feature, dont loose sleep over it, is not like people will spend terrible ammounts of time on the program screen once everything is correctly configurated.

[youneuoy]

New test version:
small changes in the launcher. Added setting of some parameters from the cfg file of the game (anti-aliasing, automatic detection of screen resolution, setting windowed mode without a border. It is recommended to configure this only in the launcher and do not touch these settings in the game).


In general, everything is already ready, it can already be used in modifications. By the release version, I plan to make an installer for the program, as well as the basic functionality of the mod manager (in the future, it is planned to greatly expand it). Thus, later in the folder with the modification, you will not have to add the main .exe and .dll files of the program.

A link to the project's discord server (there we can quickly solve existing problems, and regular communication is a little more convenient there). Core issues are still being discussed on twcenter.
Also in the discord you can access to the channels with the source code of the project, if you want to familiarize yourself with it or improve it.

In this latest version it seems you forgot to put the apply button for the options on the upper left. So I can't make it change the BellumCrucis7.cfg for my own .cfg file.

no, in this version it is written by itself when the game / mod starts. This is due to the addition of graphics settings and just for convenience. Although I think you are right, I need to return this button, maybe someone wants to start the program, change the settings and close the program..

[Gigantus]

Gigantus, the issue was with the tool itself, the new update works without need of changing any file and works and change of the siege equipment prices now works again, and I presume the rest of the tool too.

Thanks for clearing that up - I was wondering a bit myself about the circumstances.

[Lord Baal]

No, thank you for caring old chap.

And yes youneuoy, I would say it would be useful or maybe consolidate saving everything in a single big SAVE PARAMETERS button that does the function of all the save buttons.

Hey guys,


First of all - I love what you have achieved so far, and plan to accomplish shortly. This mod has already made my favourite Total War game better, and will only continue to do so. Best of luck in your development and massive KUDOS to the team.




Now the actual question - is there a way to make the mod work with Reshade? So far, it seems just to ignore it.


The second I remove the mod from the Med2 folder and just keep the Reshade, it works.


Any ideas/ possible solutions?


Thank you!

Hello!
Probably they won't be able to make friends(the m2tweop also interferes with the way the game draws.), or you need to find another reshade.


A little later I will salt this topic with the topic of discussions. Please do not spawn a large number of threads.

Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible to get this to work with Stainless Steel 6.4?

Since it launches either via Steam, or it's own launcher exe, is there a way of getting the project to work? I've pointed the limits cfg file to my Stainless Steel cfg but nothing happens if I start the hotseattool.exe, unless I start as admin, in which case it boots the base game.

Cheers in advance

Hello!
I don't know exactly how your modification is launched, but any modification can be launched using the "classic" method. Your modification probably has a .cfg file :-)
In order not to bother with the launch setting you can download the latest version of the program (it is available on the project's discord server) and start the modification using it. This is a test version that is installed as a launcher and when using it, you can select modifications from the list.

Link to the latest test version (you need to install it in the mtw2 / mods / M2TWEOP folder):

Stainless Steel has a custom 'launcher' in exe form which allows the user to change settings within txt files like the campaign script, EDU etc.

One would have to run that one first to set the mod to the desired settings, then exit and run a 'regular' BAT file to enable your application.

Hello! I will be a little absent these days, I downloaded the latest version but as you can see in the picture the button to apply the changes is missing, is there another way? am I wrong ???
