That's normal, everytime you create a new faction you also have to create it's AI behaviour in skirmishaidata.ini if you want it to be controlled by the enemy bot.

 

And you need to create a new .bse file in Bases.big because AI use this file as a template, without it it doesn't know where and how build the structures.

 

That's why I'm so lazy to create new factions and I still keep on the vanilla ones

[grimbord]

What bse? How to make this?

I never make this file. Help me how to make step by step.

[Symonius]

Try to follow this tutorial in 3rdage: https://www.the3rdag...item-65?addview

 

As i said I've never done it personally, so i can't follow you correctly but i know you need the worldbuilder to create a new .bse file.

 

Try to look at the other bases and then follow this tutorial, it's for BFME but should work also for BFME2.

 

Also this topic could help you maybe https://forums.revor...ying-bse-files/ ?

hi pls help me dont work the faction why?

the porter dont do nothing

[JUS_SAURON]

Are you planning on keeping all exiting game factions and adding a new one ?

or you can eliminate a faction and add a new one

Option 2 allows for easy AI control ,Option 1 needs a bit of coding to work properly  

A Bse file , or a Base file , its a file created in World Builder , 

it lays out a particular set-up for your base 
Try opening a few base files and see what they look like , they are found in Bases.Ini I believe 

PS I rather option 2 ,  less work and you get to see your faction come alive 

I call it Faction Hijacking , using exiting names in code , but different models and lotr.str object name changes 

 

Once the porter know as what Base set-up to build , they build the structures and a few farms etc 

Then units come out as out as you had them in the build list etc from skirmishaidata.ini

the second, but how to ?

[grimbord]

i dont understand

[grimbord]

can you help me with something?

how do i set to display multiple hero images at the bottom of the screen?

like this

[JUS_SAURON]

Anything with HERO , in its KindOf field will be displayed at the base of screen 

 

Option 2 ; keep original name of object , but change anything else , like the art etc 

I used this in my Mods , ( see signature or find on Moddb )

basically Faction Goblins , I changed the lotr.str which is the string file or text file 

so instead of seeing Goblins you see Harad 

Then instead of building the treasure trove , I replaced it with a Mumakil pen , but kept the object name Treasure trove , I also replaced the string / text file file etc 

So then the game  thinks it’s building a Treasure trove for the Goblins , when to me the player , it is building a Mumakil pen for Harad 

 

I did the same with elves , just changed all necessary files to get the game to build Rohan stuff 

The AI functions because it thinks it’s still Elves 

PS this will wreck the Campaign stuff , but Skirmish AI is awesome
