Hello people,

This is my first post on this forum and I'm relatively new to modding ROTWK (I have been experiment by adding units to buildings etc) but I would like some help. I have currently installed RJ's mod and I was trying to add a new building on top of this: a Fiefdom Barracks, to allow Gondor to produce all the lovely Fiefdom units he has created, without using his inn system. 

 

So I created a new building ini fiefdom barracks, a copy of another one of his files "Arnor Barracks". I then placed this file in the Men structures (strangely the file is not called Gondor). I then copied the Arnor Barracks W3D file, renamed it "fiefdombarracks" and saved it in the art files. I then edited the commandset so my building could produce all the desired units.

 

But here's the problem I also added it to the porter file for Gondor, but when I try to open the game, it that this is where the error is occurring.

I'm guessing I need a separate file so the porter knows what to do, or maybe I'm wrong entirely.

 

If anyone could help me I would appreciate it greatly and if you need me to post any code I'll do that, of course.

 

Thanks in advance and I hope I'm not breaking any of the rules by trying to edit someone else's mod.

You should not have added it to the porter's ini, but create a new commandbutton for the new building. see here: http://www.the3rdage...item-67?addview

First of all thank you for the quick reply.

I have read the article and it uses this as an example code:

 

CommandButton Command_ConstructGondorFighterHorde
Command = UNIT_BUILD
Object = GondorFighterHorde
Options = CANCELABLE
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructGondorFighterHorde
ButtonImage = BGBarracks_Soldiers
ButtonBorderType = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipBuildGondorFighterHorde
Radial = Yes
InPalantir = Yes
ShowProductionCount = Yes 
End

 

I will make an attempt to edit this, to make a command to construct the "fiefdombarracks"

 

CommandButton Command_ConstructFiefdomBarracks
Command = STRUCTURE_BUILD
Object = FiefdomBarracks
Options = CANCELABLE
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructFiefdomBarracks
ButtonImage = SHBuildingUpgradeGondorButton
ButtonBorderType = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipBuildGondorFighterHorde
Radial = Yes
InPalantir = Yes
ShowProductionCount = Yes
End

 

However I am unsure about a few things:

What is the COMMAND for buillding a structure (there are no examples on the current commandbutton ini file)? I think its probably not STRUCTURE_BUILD but I had no examples to go by.

What should I do about TextLabel and DescriptLabel? Do I need to create some kind of text file to add a description or can I just leave them blank, or how can I make it just say nothing?

Are there any other glaring issues?

Thanks again.

You should base it of a BUILDING Command don't you think :

 

CommandButton Command_PorterConstructMordorTrollCage

  Command          = DOZER_CONSTRUCT

  Object           = MordorTrollCage

  TextLabel        = CONTROLBAR:ConstructMordorTrollCage

  ButtonImage      = BMTrollCages

  ButtonBorderType = BUILD 

  DescriptLabel    = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipMordorTrollCage

  Radial           = Yes  

End

------------------------------------ see if this works ----------------------------

CommandButton Command_ConstructFiefdomBarracks

  Command          = DOZER_CONSTRUCT

  Object           = FiefdomBarracks

  TextLabel        = CONTROLBAR:ConstructFiefdomBarracks

  ButtonImage      = SHBuildingUpgradeGondorButton

  ButtonBorderType = BUILD 

  DescriptLabel    = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipFiefdomBarracks

  Radial           = Yes  

End

Ok that's a much better idea, stupid me. I tried to find a building command but couldn't, should have looked harder.

Well anyway, I've put in that code and now there's no error message and the game runs, however it doesn't appear on my porter.

I'm guessing this is because its the 16th command on the porter, and it needs to be one of the first 6 to be on the Palantir.

I will try putting the command further up and see if it works.

 

EDIT: OK, I have implemented the changes after putting into slot 3 on the porter:

 

CommandSet MenPorterCommandSet 
   1  = Command_Stop
   2  = Command_PorterExtinguishFire 
   3  = Command_ConstructFiefdomBarracks
   4  = Command_PorterConstructMenFarm 
   5  = Command_PorterConstructMenBarracks 
   6  = Command_PorterConstructMenArcheryRange 
   7  = Command_PorterConstructMenStable 
   8  = Command_PorterConstructMenWorkshop 
   9  = Command_PorterConstructMenSentryTower 
   10 = Command_PorterConstructMenWell 
   11 = Command_PorterConstructMenStatue 
   12 = Command_PorterConstructMenBlacksmith 
   13 = Command_PorterConstructMenMarketPlace 
   14 = Command_PorterConstructMenWallHubOuter 
   15 = Command_PorterConstructMenFortress 
    
End

 

However instead of appearing on the Palantir as expected, it now appears with all the other buildings on the Toolbar, so I guess I have done something wrong. It also says that it is missing,it is greyed out, has no price and cannot be selected or built. I searched for the Toolbar ini and found: controlbarscheme but none of these had any code that related to any existing buildings.

 

So my question is: why is the building not appearing as a command button, but instead as a building on the controlbar? And why is it all greyed out? I'm guessing that more code needs to be added in a different place. It also says that the DesriptLabl is missing too.

 

 

EDIT2: Ok I had missed off the InPalantir line of the code which I have now added, but the button is still "MISSING" and greyed out. What do I need to do so that the building can be built?

 

EDIT3: Now I have managed to get rid of the MISSING messages, by creating the appropriate text code in the lotr.str file, however the persisting problem still remains: the barracks is greyed out and unbuildable. There is also no price for the Fiefdom Barracks, even though I have set it to 500 in its structure file. Any help would be appreciated but I'll keep experimenting and searching for answers.

[Rider of Rohan]

Can you please put your code for the structure here so we can have a crack at it

[Missile157]

I don't know which exact bits of code you want so I'll post all of the ones I can think of, hope it's not too long.

 

Here's the commandbutton code:

;Fiefdom Barracks Construct
CommandButton Command_Constructfiefdombarracks
	Command          = DOZER_CONSTRUCT
	Object           = FiefdomBarracks
	TextLabel        = CONTROLBAR:ConstructFiefdomBarracks
	ButtonImage      = SHBuildingUpgradeGondorButton
	ButtonBorderType = BUILD 
	DescriptLabel    = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipFiefdomBarracks
	Radial           = Yes 
	InPalantir       = Yes 

End

 

 

And here's the code for the building itself, this was copied directly from another RJ-ROTWK file, "arnorbarracks" so this is probably where the problem is, I probably haven't changed enough. I have copied and renamed the W3D file of the "arnorbarracks" to "fiefdombarracks" and placed it in the art folder to avoid the error command about each structure must have a unique W3D file.

That is the best i could do for now you have to make separate command sets for the upgrading to work :
 

	Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModueTag_BarracksLevel2CommandSet
		TriggeredBy			= Upgrade_GondorBarracksLevel2
		ConflictsWith		= Upgrade_GondorBarracksLevel3
		CommandSet			= FiefdomBarracksCommandSetLevel2
	End   

	Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModueTag_BarracksLevel3CommandSet
		TriggeredBy			= Upgrade_GondorBarracksLevel3		
		CommandSet			= FiefdomBarracksCommandSetLevel3
	End

 

 

 

A lot of the stuff you copied would be invalid since it doesn't exist so i just copied the Gondor Barracks as a placeholder You could experiment around it i guess. Just let me know what works and doesn't work.

[Missile157]

OK the great thing is that the object can be built in game now! Wahoo!

 

I had to add 2 more little bits of code to the lotr.str the building name: OBJECTFiefdomBarracks and its respective description. I'm happy that I think I understand how to add text descriptions to the game now.

 

I would also like to know, which bits of the Gondor Barracks template did you edit, for future reference, if I wanted to add another building.

 

Now all I need to do is add the upgrade button in the commandset file to FiefdomBarracks Commandset and it should be good to go.

 

Thank you so much, you've been so helpful and I'll post again if anything else goes wrong. 

 

I'll probably try adding some new heroes next.

[Rider of Rohan]

Well the only pointer I could give you is :

When you attempted to edit the actual building  you put :
DefaultModelConditionState
        Model = fiefdombarracks
        WeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY ARROW
End

This will be invalid because that doesn't exist and must be replace by a W3d file that does exist (W3d files are the Models in the game)

So I replaced it with :

DefaultModelConditionState
        Model = GBBarracks_SKN        
        WeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY ARROW_
End

 

The Same is said for the Animations and Art (e.g. Portraits )

[Missile157]

So all the other coding other than graphics remains the same?

 

Another really weird thing happened, when I upgraded the building to level 3 a unit called Gondor Spearmen appeared and I could build them. But when they spawned they were Knights of Dol Amroth. They were meant to be knights of Dol Amroth, but why were they called Gondor Spearmen? They were meant to be called Southern Knights. It isn't serious at all but it would be nice if they had the right name.

Here's the commandset code for the level 3 Fiefdom Barracks:

CommandSet FiefdomBarracksCommandSetLevel3
  	1	= Command_ConstructSouthernRingloValeFootmanHorde
	2	= Command_ConstructSouthernPelargirSpearmenHorde
	3	= Command_ConstructSouthernLossnarchAxemanHorde
	4	= Command_PurchaseTechnologyGondorBasicTraining		; Added
	5	= Command_ConstructSouthernMorthlondBowmanHorde	
	6	= Command_Sell
	7	= Command_ConstructSouthernKnightsHorde

 

I checked the horde file for SouthernKnights and their name isn't Gondor Spearmen. 

[Rider of Rohan]

How does the commandbutton settings look ?

[Missile157]

Indeed there was a problem there, for some unknown reason the Labels in lotr.str were set to Gondor Spearmen ones, not Knights of Dol Amroth, so strange. Thanks for the help again.

[Missile157]

I have tried to change the building upgrade, to a specific Fiefdom Barracks one (so that I can edit the text files, so it doesn't say wrong info).

The upgrades appear in game however they don't actually serve their purpose: level up the Fiefdom Barracks

 

New FiefdomBarracks Commandset:

CommandSet FiefdomBarracksCommandSet
  	1	= Command_ConstructSouthernRingloValeFootmanHorde
	2	= Command_ConstructSouthernPelargirSpearmenHorde	
	3	= Command_PurchaseTechnologyGondorBasicTraining
	4	= Command_PurchaseUpgradeFiefdomBarracksLevel2
	6	= Command_Sell
	
End

CommandSet FiefdomBarracksCommandSetLevel2
  	1	= Command_ConstructSouthernRingloValeFootmanHorde
	2	= Command_ConstructSouthernPelargirSpearmenHorde
	3	= Command_ConstructSouthernLossnarchAxemanHorde
	4	= Command_PurchaseTechnologyGondorBasicTraining		; Added
	5	= Command_ConstructSouthernMorthlondBowmanHorde	
	6	= Command_Sell
	7	= Command_PurchaseUpgradeFiefdomBarracksLevel3

End

	BuildCost		= 500
	BuildTime		= 100
	DisplayName		= Upgrade:FiefdomBarracksLevel3

 

This is what I added to commandbutton.ini:

CommandButton Command_PurchaseUpgradeFiefdomBarracksLevel2 
   Command           = OBJECT_UPGRADE
   Upgrade           = Upgrade_FiefdomBarracksLevel2
   Options           = CANCELABLE
   TextLabel         = CONTROLBAR:ConstructFiefdomBarracks2Upgrade
   ButtonImage       = SHBuildingUpgradeGondorButton
   ButtonBorderType  = UPGRADE
   DescriptLabel     = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipBuildFiefdomBarracksLevel2Upgrade
   Radial            = Yes
   InPalantir        = Yes
End

CommandButton Command_PurchaseUpgradeFiefdomBarracksLevel3 
   Command           = OBJECT_UPGRADE
   Upgrade           = Upgrade_FiefdomBarracksLevel3
   Options           = CANCELABLE
   TextLabel         = CONTROLBAR:ConstructFiefdomBarracksLevel3Upgrade
   ButtonImage       = SHBuildingUpgradeGondorButton
   ButtonBorderType  = UPGRADE
   DescriptLabel     = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipBuildFiefdomBarracksLevel3Upgrade
   Radial            = Yes
   InPalantir        = Yes

 

I copied these from the Gondor Barracks upgrade files as a base, and edited them. I'm guessing that the don't actually refer to the FiefdomBarracks and that is why the upgrade is not applied.

Sorry buddy I don't know much about upgrades, you'll have to wait for someone else to help you out with this one.

No problem, you been so helpful already and its not urgent. I can just change it back to using the Gondor Barracks upgrade for a while if needs be.
