Mod help?

[BandarLover]

I can and will, but your wording made me go back and see where I was messing up. The sites appear now. However, I'll still post them cause I have more questions.

Question 1: How do I change the picture for the sites? My Forest site has a forest pic but my mountain site also uses a forest pic.

Question 2: After putting the start site in the nation section, my sites show up. I now have sacred troops only recruitable from the sites...except for one. I have the correct unit number in the site code, and it still shows up as being recruitable, but not from just the start site. Instead, it added another archer unit, giving me 2 archer units, one recruitable anywhere, the other recruitable from the start site in place of my sacred warrior. Code is forthcoming:

#newsite 805
#name "Great Aran Mountains"
#path 6
#level 0
#rarity 5
#gems 1 2
#gems 3 2
#homemon 2704
#homecom 2712
#homecom 2713
#end

#newsite 806
#name "Great Aran Forest"
#path 6
#level 0
#rarity 5
#gems 6 2
#homemon 2703
#homecom 2711
#end


And my nation code:

#selectnation 83
#name "Barbarian Hordes"
#epithet "Unified Tribes"
#era 3
#descr "The Barbaians have long been a secluded peoples, and for centuries all was fine. Outsiders assumed that seperately, the tribes would be little more than a nuisance, but the likelyhood of the scattered factions actually banding together was never taken seriously. However, with the rise of the new pretenders, this is precisely what has happened. Galvanized by an enigmatic Barbarian king, the tribes have rallied around his bloody banner and their own waking gods. Long have their peoples been subjected to the whims of other nations. Long have they endured forced relocations to make room for more 'advanced' civilizations. No more. Now is the time for recognition. Now is the time for reperation. Now is the time for reveration."

Thank you in advance for any help

Question 1: You can't choose the exact pick, but you can choose the correct magic path (it should then give somewhat working pic). Try giving "Great Aran Mountain" #path 3 (making it a earth site).

Question 2: If you have the unit as a magic site recruitable, you don't need to also give it by #addrecunit command, it will only result in a duplicate.

not entirely Burnsaber (though I think you mean it right)

Q1: wht burnie said, make it an earth site, a nature site will always look foresty (and for a mountain earth is more thematic)

Q2: what Burnsaber pointed out isthe problem only it doesn't just duplicate it. the addrecruit command is what makes those units recruitable everywhere (2703 and 2704 should both be recruitable everywhere and cap only) just remove those lines and they'll be cap only.

For a "mountain" picture, try an air path, level 0 site

Site pictures are based on path and level. Note that a start site with level >0 will be visible to its owner on turn 1 - I just tried that.

[BandarLover]

Thank you Burn and Aezeal! That fixed the problem for me and I appreciate the help a bunch!

Did some more testing on startsite pictures. Results attached. Vertical=path (0-8), horizontal=level (0-4). Levels 2-4 appear the same.

I have always meant to do this but never found the time. Thank you very much!

Well,if you necro a thread from 2 years ago,I might aswell hijack it and ask a couple modding questions

So,I'm a total modding newbie,and atm my efforts are concentrated towards stacking various mods for a mod-heavy MP game I'm planning.

-A couple days ago I was reading the thread on another mod-heavy game,and their problem with mod stacking was that they reached the "maximum number of spells".I've looked around the forums but I couldn't find anything on this, there's a limit to the number of ingame spells?

-This might be related to the first question.Beside the errors with IDs from various mods overlapping,I often get a nagot gick fel with a "getspldscr: bad splnr".Can anyone explain what it means?


-Still regarding ID limits...there are more limits beside for sites?How many extra nations/weapons/etc...can i add?

Yeah, with 3.21 you can only add about 130 spells by mods. The only workaround is to make the extra spells overwrite national spells from the nations not to be in the game.

getbadspelldescription: bad spellnumber. Your mods hit the spell limit.

Yeah, there are limits. consult your modding manual for the number ranges you can use for those.

Hello people,
I've started my own mod nation and I have two quick question.
I've made a few commanders I want but they all have double weapons for some reason? Eg. two quarterstaffs, or even two special weapons that are built in, not carried. Why, and how do I fix this?

Second question. So far all my units look the same, Agra Dis misborn to be exact, how do I use unit images from Dominions, Grand Thaumaturg or Ulm infantry or remake them the way I want?
