Making sub factions is hell, but in theory what you need to do is make the player make a choice in the fortress in the beginning where he has to choose one of the two sub factions (the options are actually player upgrades, which would trigger different commandsets and such for the player)

Yea but in upgrade.ini I found these scripts:

 

 

Upgrade Upgrade_ElvenLothlorienFortress

Type = PLAYER

BuildCost = 0

BuildTime = 2

DisplayName = UPGRADE:FortressLothlorienUpgrade

SkirmishAIHeuristic = AI_UPGRADEHEURISTIC_ANTIINFANTRY

End

 

Upgrade Upgrade_ElvenRivendellFortress

Type = PLAYER

BuildCost = 0

BuildTime = 2

DisplayName = UPGRADE:FortressRivendellUpgrade

SkirmishAIHeuristic = AI_UPGRADEHEURISTIC_ANTISPECIAL

End

 

Upgrade Upgrade_ElvenMirkwoodFortress

Type = PLAYER

BuildCost = 0

BuildTime = 2

DisplayName = UPGRADE:FortressMirkwoodUpgrade

SkirmishAIHeuristic = AI_UPGRADEHEURISTIC_ANTIARCHER

End

 

Actually, Mirkwood fortress is present as an upgrade but I can't see it in the voting system. And so I was thinking:

The upgrade name is ElvenMirkwoodFortress

But when I created the new faction in the playertemplate.ini, I set up 

StartingBuilding = ElvenFortress

as you already know with the main goal of re-use the existing elven structures for mirkwood.

Now if I'm gonna try to modify this script

 

Upgrade Upgrade_ElvenMirkwoodFortress

Type = PLAYER

BuildCost = 0

BuildTime = 2

DisplayName = UPGRADE:FortressMirkwoodUpgrade

SkirmishAIHeuristic = AI_UPGRADEHEURISTIC_ANTIARCHER

End

 

into this one:

 

Upgrade Upgrade_ElvenFortress

Type = PLAYER

BuildCost = 0

BuildTime = 2

DisplayName = UPGRADE:FortressElvenUpgrade

SkirmishAIHeuristic = AI_UPGRADEHEURISTIC_ANTIARCHER

End

 

Could it work?

[Ridder Geel]

You need to make a commandbutton and add it to the fortress's commandset to be able to buy it... obviously...

If you don't know basic stuff like this yet, i advise you learn that first before attempting to do something like this, because this can go bottom-up really quickly due to its complexity.

[yakuzaBoss]

That's commandbutton.ini:

 

 

 

 

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------

CommandButton Command_ChooseLothlorienFortress 

Command = OBJECT_UPGRADE 

Options = CANCELABLE NOT_QUEUEABLE

Object = ElvenUnpackedFortress

Upgrade = Upgrade_ElvenLothlorienFortress

TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:Command_ChooseLothlorienSubFaction

ButtonImage = SHLorienFortressButton

ButtonBorderType = UPGRADE

DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipCommand_ChooseLothlorienSubFaction

Radial = Yes

InPalantir   = Yes

End

 

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------

CommandButton Command_ChooseRivendellFortress 

Command = OBJECT_UPGRADE 

Options = CANCELABLE NOT_QUEUEABLE

Object = ElvenUnpackedFortress

Upgrade = Upgrade_ElvenRivendellFortress

TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:Command_ChooseRivendellSubFaction

ButtonImage = SHRivendellFortressButton

ButtonBorderType = UPGRADE

DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipCommand_ChooseRivendellSubFaction

Radial = Yes

InPalantir   = Yes

End

 

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------

CommandButton Command_ChooseMirkwoodFortress 

Command = OBJECT_UPGRADE 

Options = CANCELABLE NOT_QUEUEABLE

Object = ElvenUnpackedFortress

Upgrade = Upgrade_ElvenMirkwoodFortress

TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:Command_ChooseMirkwoodSubFaction

ButtonImage = ZZButtonImage

ButtonBorderType = UPGRADE

DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipCommand_ChooseMirkwoodSubFaction

Radial = Yes

InPalantir   = Yes

End

 

 

In commandset.ini the faction selection is ready but not the Mirkwood fortress:

 

 

 

CommandSet ElvesFactionSelectionCommandset

1 = Command_ChooseLothlorienFortress 

2 = Command_ChooseRivendellFortress 

; 3 = Command_ChooseMirkwoodFortress 

End

 

 

I'll try to create the Mirkwoodfortress's commandset..

[Ridder Geel]

In that code over there the commandbutton is commented? So obviously you can't choose it?

[yakuzaBoss]

It is not commented and I can't choose it, I don't know why. Here is the commandbutton.ini:

...I meant the commandbutton you specified in the commandset:

CommandSet ElvesFactionSelectionCommandset

1 = Command_ChooseLothlorienFortress 

2 = Command_ChooseRivendellFortress 

; 3 = Command_ChooseMirkwoodFortress 

End

 

3 is commented...

[yakuzaBoss]

Thanks I didn't know, now I can choose Mirkwood but when i click it, I'm instantly defeated with the yellow sentence in the upper right:

 

upgrade complete: Mirkwood Faction

They don't have a different fortress.ini for each subfaction...

Find the ini with the:

ElvenUnpackedFortress

[yakuzaBoss]

I did it! Now it woks fine

The last problem is when I click on a porter there are no structures available on the upper right of the screen. Here are my new commandbutton.ini and commandset.ini:

[Ridder Geel]

Well most likely the porter's ini has more information on that, he might possibly not be getting a commandset due to him not having either or the 'existing' subfaction upgrades

[yakuzaBoss]

Ok here is the elvenporter.ini:

Well your faction would be using:

    Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModueTag_ElvenMirkwoodCommandSet
        TriggeredBy                = Upgrade_ElvenMirkwoodFortress
        CommandSet                = ElvenPorterCommandSet
    End

Which is one for the ai apparently, so that won't work, give it one of the other two, or make your own...

    Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModueTag_ElvenLothlorienCommandSet
        TriggeredBy                = Upgrade_ElvenLothlorienFortress
        CommandSet                = ElvenLorienPorterCommandSet
    End

    Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModueTag_ElvenRivendellCommandSet
        TriggeredBy                = Upgrade_ElvenRivendellFortress
        CommandSet                = ElvenRivendellPorterCommandSet
    End
