As far as I remember in the last test version I added a button to save all settings.Originally Posted by franky317
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 ???

Re: Stainless Steel compatibility?
Cheers guys, the test version worked on Stainless Steel once I ran it as admin, it's amazing to see these features being implemented 14 years after release. Having all the old console commands back is a blastGood luck with the continuing development youneuoy

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
I don't have a lot of free time for development right now, so I'll probably just post the latest stable version of the program as the latest in the near future. I'll be back to actively updating the program in a couple of weeks.

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
Well, I decided to start building a plugin system for m2tweop. This means that for your modifications you can make your own .dll files based on the template that I will provide and you will not need to worry about compatibility of m2tweop versions, patching operations of the game code, etc. You can just write c ++ code.

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
So, I decided on how it would look:
in the youneuoy_data modification there will be a plugins folder in which there will be .dll files (plugins). These .dlls will contain a number of pre-built functions. To create such a .dll you will need knowledge of c ++ (it is quite easy to learn if you can write scripts for m2tw, c++ is much more convenient) and visual studio 2019. With m2tweop a template for such a plugin will be distributed.
M2TWEOP will load all these .dlls into the game's address space and call their functions at certain moments, for example, at the beginning of a faction's turn, it will call the onFactionTurnStart function, passing the faction number to it. Also from these .dlls it will be possible to call M2TWEOP functions to work with the game, for example createUnit, addUnitToStack, etc. With new versions of m2tweop, I will add new functions, I think if the project is interesting to someone, it will turn out very quickly to completely replace the scripts in this way.
This method has many advantages over scripts - performance, great capabilities, step-by-step code debugging, etc.
I will try to finish the test version this week.

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
But how do you "discover" new possibilities to unlock hardcoded things in the game? How can somebody for example try to unlock the 31-faction limit in M2TW?

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
Reversing, reversing and reversing again)
As for the faction limit, I don’t think it’s worth setting this very goal. If I had chosen it for the project, I still would not have achieved anything.

Look what I did
People who follow the project come from somewhere, but they often write little. If you are one of them, you can now support the project on patreon.
I will not give any special things to the patrons, this is just a convenient way to support the project (as far as I understand, everyone can pay there, otherwise there will be huge problems with this).
Write if you suddenly support the project financially.

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
Here are the lists to try to give a priority to events that should be converted in c++. Since performances in campaign are the main interest of the thing, i have isolated the battle events. Events ordinary used in edtc have also been set aside (even if some of them could be ponctually used in scripts of course). I don't use myself all of them, so suggestions are welcome to better determine priorities.

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
I need a tester for a plugin system.
This should be a person who is not difficult to compile a project in visual studio (I will provide a template), and it is also easy to write a couple of lines of code (no need to invent anything, it is enough to be able to create a new string and output it to the messagebox).
This is necessary to check the correctness of the added events.
The tests are supposed to be regular, but they will not take much time (the main thing is to check all events, I will just send a new version of the template as new ones are added).
I would be very grateful for your help)
In principle, the tester can immediately make ready-made plugins, now it is already possible to do simple things, such as financial assistance to AI, etc:yum:
True, templates do not yet import any m2tweop functions, except for the function that receives the current turn number, but the data that came to the function as parameters can already be changed.
I also need saves in which I can easily get the necessary events, if they are rare enough (example - HordeFormed, I have no idea what it is). I can load your save, receive this event, define parameters for it, etc.
it would be ideal if it was also in a small modification specially made for the test. If someone decides to help with this, they will go to developers of the M2TWEOP
It seems to me that this project is worth taking part in its development.
So far, I have implemented 7 events from the list, I will continue later. Next, unusual events begin and I will have to try to find them in the game
that's something like this you need to be able to do for the test (no supernatural knowledge is needed)

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
I don’t see anyone willing to participate in the developmentCoding in c++ is not required, but the ability to create a minimod to find unusual events is necessary.
Perhaps, after all, someone would like to help?

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
Darn it, I would love for sure to help out but real life get in the freaking way too often!
C'mon people youneuoy is giving us the keys of the kingdom here and no one is left to pick them up?! For real?!
Edit: If no one else if up to do it, I will youneuoy, I'm a programmer and while have not done anything with C++ is a rather simple task and the language is not that hard, however it would probably be extremely slow (like perhaps half and hour, maybe an hour on rare instances every other day slow).

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
Lord Baal, I think it's not so bad. On the discord server, Erken(just now) wrote that he is ready to help with creating a minimod for receiving non-standard events. I think over time there will be a person who wants to test this in detail. My idea was to check and do everything at once, so as not to return later (it may be necessary to redo a certain amount of code, and it will not be very convenient to look for it later - the volume is planned to be rather big, even if take into account that for each event I need up to a couple tens of lines of code).

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
DinarMayor also agreed to help me with event testing (he can do some c ++ code for this).
It's good that there were people ready to help. But in my opinion it's not very good that these people help every time
Thanks a lot to DinarMayor and Erken anyway. I think that as a result they will be immortalized and future generations will remember them by m2tweop.

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
What c++ code do you refer to exactly? I'm a little confused about that. I could possibly help a bit, but I'm rather busy with university... So no promises if it's complex.
HordeFormed is leftover from Barbarian Invasion (RTW), I'm not sure it is even used in M2TW but I recall the Mongol hordes spawning at one point. I'm not sure if the scripting event was involved with that however.I also need saves in which I can easily get the necessary events, if they are rare enough (example - HordeFormed, I have no idea what it is).

Re: General discussion (use of already implemented functions, etc.)
I think I wrote about this above - we are talking about testing the plugin system for m2tweop, or rather, testing plugin functions. Plugins are created in the c ++ programming language.
Later, it is planned to completely replace the m2tw scripts.
it seems there we are talking about the usual spawn_army.
