Diplomacy Modding WIP Thread - The Great War mod for Napoleon: Total War

This tutorial shows how to edit diplomacy in the startpos

DOWNLOAD EsfEditor HERE

First open the startpos file in the ESFEditor and navigate to main\startpos.esf\CAMPAIGN_STARTPOS\CAMPAIGN_ENV\CAMPAIGN_MODEL\WORLD\FACTION_ARRAY\FACTION_ARRAY\FACTION as shown in the screenshot. Here is a list of all the factions in the game.

Before going to the next step it is important to get the FactionID for every faction's diplomacy you plan to edit, this is because in the diplomacy arrays the factions are not listed by name but rather by FactionID. To get the FactionID click on the + next to the faction name then click on the faction name, "Austria | FACTION" in this example, the FactionID for Austria is 1111208016.

Next click the + to open a factions details then go to the location DIPLOMACY_MANAGER\DIPLOMACY_RELATIONSHIPS_ARRAY\DIPLOMACY_RELATIONSHIPS_ARRAY\DIPLOMACY_RELATIONSHIP\DIPLOMACY_RELATIONSHIPS_ARRAY

In this example we are looking at Austria, each DIPLOMACY_RELATIONSHIPS_ARRAY corresponds to a specific faction and that factions attitude towards Austria.

When opening the DIPLOMACY_RELATIONSHIPS_ARRAY the next line will show the Faction ID

Further expanding the DIPLOMACY_RELATIONSHIPS_ARRAY shows a list of 25 DIPLOMACY_RELATIONSHIPS_ATTITUDES_ARRAY, these represent every type of diplomacy attitude possible in the game. A full list of what these do with some examples are listed at the bottom of this guide.

When you click on a DIPLOMACY_RELATIONSHIPS_ATTITUDES_ARRAY the options will look like this, below is a definition for what each field controls.

• Change per turn (1 = increase, -1 = decrease, 0 = no change)
• Current level (can positive or negative)
• Maximum level (can positive or negative)
• True / False (true means its dynamic and changes over time)
• Unknown 2 (-15 for 'War declared on friend', so may be an additional penalty)
• True / False (true = ETW uses Unknown 2)
