Re: mod help
 

Run the game with the "-ddd" flag and look at the bottom of the text file produced.

You might have smartquotes in the file or something, can't see anything else wrong.

Re: mod help

Re: mod help

#description "You are a stranger in town, a powerfull, evil stranger and you want power, LOTS of power. The cityguard could be a way.. a LONG, SLOW way to power, and long and slow just isn't like you. The King isn't going to give you his power either, and you hate him for it already, ow yeah, he'll pay too. And religion.. is not the thing for you, except to be worshipped by your minions as they spread your gangs dominion over the city. Take the power you deserve. And the money. And the lives you need to take to get whatever else you want."

Re: mod help
 

sounds good, really creates a story. So, I reckon there is a 4th faction you haven't listed above. once you finish this, you should let me know how hard modding was. I think you're coming at this all from a similar experinece level as I would be.

Re: mod help
 

I assume you're using windows.

Right-click on the shortcut, go properties.

In the target box, add -ddd outside of the quotation marks at the end.
i.e. presumably:
"C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" -ddd

This is also how you can create shortcuts to network games, for example Evermore:
"C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" -C --ipadr 67.66.187.69 --port 10020

Re: mod help
 

If you do, the output will be in stderr.txt in your game directory, too.

Re: mod help
 

N�got gick fel!
#name, empty name


(I actually saw this in a window too without the ddd thing btu didnt'think THAT would be the explanation.. which name is empty?)

Re: mod help
 

another question:
There is a command to make a nation start in a specific prov
there is a command to make a nation have a certain god
but how can I edit that god... it's not yet a commander I can edit in my .map file right? (items, name etc nothing fancy)
