I did run the Validator.
I don't know exactly how this would work in history files, since I've never worked with them, but as far as a command to use in an event or decision, you want
add_to_bloodline (which adds a scoped character to a target bloodline) or add_bloodline_member (which adds a targeted character to the scoped bloodline).
FWIW, my initial reaction before checking the wiki was that baronies cannot have custom CoA. Either this initial reaction was completely wrong... or maybe I'm remembering a similar answer from a few years ago...
Yes - we did this in the Faerun mod. Here's the character block for Agrosh Tarrik 'the Scaled', usurper king of Impiltur.
24059 = {
name = Agrosh
dynasty = 3803 # Tarrik
father = 24058 # Duke Errendil Tarrik (possessed by Eltab)
mother = 24187 # Varlora Shimmercrag
trait = creature_human
trait = half_fiend
religion = abyssal_cult
culture = cambion
688.1.1 = {
birth = yes
culture = impilturan
effect_even_if_dead = {
set_real_father = 66230 # Eltab
c_66230 = {
any_owned_bloodline = {
add_bloodline_member = ROOT
}
}
}
}
708.1.1 = {
give_nickname = nick_the_scaled
}
726.1.1 = { add_spouse = 66229 } # Soneillon
729.1.1 = {
death = {
death_reason = death_battle
killer = 24227 # Belthar Garshin
}
}
}This sort of worked but it has another character as the finder of the bloodline. Is that supposed to happen?
The founder of the bloodline will be whoever has the create_bloodline command in their history. In our case, that was also Eltab, and if the added character isn't a lineal descendant of the founder, there's no reason not to scope to the founder by ID when adding them. What is your intended outcome?
I would like a brother of the character to have the bloodline but keep the character as the founder. I think you are saying if they are not directly descended from the character it will create a new bloodline?
No, that should work. In the brother's history, on the date that the founder founds the bloodline (or perhaps the day after), have an effect_even_if_dead block that scopes to the founder directly by ID, then adds ROOT to his bloodlines, exactly as shown. If you've copied my example very exactly, it's possible you're trying to add the brother to the bloodline before it's founded.
Yes. Here is what I did:
OK, that all looks correct and parallel to what I did. What's not working the way you want it to in the output?
Joan of arc should be the founder but she isnt her brother is. The game made two different bloodlines, is it because she is female?
That doesn't look like it was founded by either of them - the date and name are wrong. Can you show me Julien's character history block, please?
Ah you are correct.
You've tagged Julien's father as 'Robert', but the character ID indicates Pierre. If Pierre is showing correctly with the bloodline, try replacing the add_bloodline_member command with propagate_bloodline_from.
Yes his name was originally robert but I changed it. Unfortunately, the bloodline is not showing on Pierre but i did try it both member and from and it didnt work. I may just make Juliens mother Joan. Just a bit of slight incest.
replace_path folders specified in your .mod file which do not exist in the mod folder itself (eg. common/trade_routes). They all seem like reasonable things to exclude for a total conversion mod with a different map... but I think you probably still have to provide a blank/dummy file in most of these cases (eg. a blank trade routes file).common\*, history\*, map\*) and think whether any of those subfolders also need to be specified in your mod. (Usually, I'd advocate removing things until the mod works... but in your case, I think it's more worthwhile to think about whether you forgot to include something important.)on_assassination_disc.
