Client States Mod (BTS 3.19)

Client States Mod v 1.3 (BTS 3.19)

This mod was created by isolating the source code from Jojoweb's Total War Mod. This mod only includes the Vassal States and none of the other features in that mod.

I have updated the code and altered all of the vassal text from vassal to client state and master to leader. Since it works only with the vassal option turned on, it can be turned off via the custom game menu.

-----Gameplay-----
-New VassalTypes include: Dominion, Protectorate, Colony, Annexed Territory, and Puppet State
-Free Passive Espionage against a Client State
-Certain Client States give International Votes
-Techs enable different Client States
-Project eliminates Vassal Costs
-Civics alter International Votes and Passive Espionage
-All vassal text modified as Client State
-Some Client states can be converted into other types of Client States

-----Vassal Types-----
-A protectorate is a negotiated status of vassalage, signed by two nations at peace, that feel close and have a common military interest. This client state can trade its cities.
-The Puppet State is a defeated nation that transfers a part of its sovereignty and is constrained by a very unbalanced peace treaty. It is negtiated while at war and this Client State can trade its cities. It is the Surrendered vassal from BTS.
-A colony is a status of vassalage which result from the secession (organized by the master) of some cities far away from the capital of the state. You can trade the bonuses of this client state
-Annexed territory is a status of vassalage that includes high interdependence with the master, but more emancipation opportunities. This Client State and the leader state have fixed borders, but with continuted cultural transmission.
-A Dominion is a status of vassalage, which allows some independance to the colonized people, preventing in some contexts, a paralysis of the country while remaining an ally. This is the only Client State that can declare war and make peace as a soverign nation.

-----For Modmakers-----
-C++ included
-Commenting in C++ as Client States Mod
-Tech, Civic, and Project xml tags
-New VassalInfos.xml XML file

-----Version History-----

Spoiler :

The error is coming from something wrong in GameInfoSchema.xml. I just can't figure it out yet. Something is not formated properly, I think.

stolenrays · Jul 19, 2013

Something is wrong with the encoding in the schema file. I am adding it manually myself to create my own schema idential to totalwar & it is working without errors.

gluck stole, hope you get it

stolenrays · Jul 21, 2013

It is in beta phase right now. It works and is playable. I'm making sure all the texts/options work. I got a CTD upon city conquest, so I'm debugging that right now. I might add some more vassal types such as tributary and associated state.

stolenrays · Jul 28, 2013

Still getting one CTD after UN is built. Will have to debug it. Everything else seems to work.

stolenrays · Jul 28, 2013

I think I found the reason for the error, but not the source yet. While debugging there were more voters than countries. 18 to be exact. There were no names/civs next to these UN voters and they were just labeled abstains. Consequently, no gen secretary could be chosen.

stolenrays · Aug 23, 2013

I fixed the CTD error. There are still some text display errors to figure out. In addition, there is a secretary general error now where none is picked. No CTDs anymore though.

keldath · Aug 25, 2013

gj man,

looking forward to it.

stolenrays · Aug 31, 2013

I've figured out and fixed the display errors. Just need to check everything before a first release.

stolenrays · Sep 5, 2013

Everything is working, but the game doesn't load a saved game because of some read/write C++ mismatch. I'll make sure they are aligned correctly then release it.

stolenrays · Sep 8, 2013

OK, got it working now. There is a project which eliminates vassal costs, several vassal types, civic modifiers for for vassal providing free espionage, international votes, and free units per cities. In addition, techs enable the different vassaltypes.

I'll release it as soon as I get a chance to. :eek:

stolenrays · Sep 13, 2013

There is a full release out now. Link at the first post. Maybe the Mods could move to the modcomp forum please?

The Snug · Feb 21, 2014

Hey there, two questions:
1. I don't possess the skills otherwise I would do it, but would you be able to take the RevDCM CvGameCoreDLL.dll and merge in this mod to it?

2. Could you explain what each of the client status's actually are? I have no idea what these new states do.

stolenrays · Feb 25, 2014

I'll try and give you a description shortly. I believe the descriptions are in the text.xml file. I'm really short on time to assist with any other merges, sorry. It is really not that hard with the beyond compare program.

stolenrays · Apr 21, 2014

I added descriptions of the client states to the first post.

stolenrays · May 28, 2014

I'm trying to add the decolonisation code to the mod, but get a xml playeroption, gameoption error that happens whenever I add anything after bdecolonisation to the GameInfoSchema.xml file.

Maybe someone knows how to fix it?

i had that many times,

go to the player option file - see if you need to add it there,

also - maybe you forgot something or dropped something from the schema file.
if the dll works, its probably some xml missing tag

i hope...

stolenrays · Jun 4, 2014

It is definetly something wrong with the xml schema. It is an array so it is a little bit more complex thatn what I am used to. Tried it every way, but couldn't figure it out.

stolenrays · Jun 20, 2014

I'm having one last error that I can't fix. I can't exit out of any python screens without pressing the escape button. Any suggestions? Haven't found any python errors yet.
