Description:

This submod enables all factions within my unlocker for easier access to playing them.

There might be issues with certain things that will require further modding, since this mod is mostly designed for other modders who want to expand on them.

SO, first of, if you’re going to be modding one of these factions and need help, join the C&C modding server Discord[discord.gg].
Second, only include the stuff relevant to your faction, you don’t need this entire mod.
Good luck.

List of tables that are inside that mod and what they’ll do:

• effect_bundles_tables
  – Bundle that gives a faction its faction effects.
  – You’ll need another frontend table if you want those effects to show up in the frontend screen.
• political_parties_tables
  – Table itself doesn’t really do anything important, but required anyway.
  – Connected to start pos stuff.
• faction_political_parties_junctions_tables
  – Connects a faction to political party.
• frontend_faction_groups_to_factions_tables
  – Decides what order factions appear in the frontend screen.
• frontend_factions_tables
  – You can change the small video that plays in the left corner with this table.
• frontend_faction_leaders_tables
  – A lot of things are decided here, frontend icons, loading screens, initial difficulty, etc.
• political_parties_frontend_leaders_junctions_tables
  – Connects the frontend leader to a political party.
• custom_loading_screen_components_tables
  – Table required for custom loading screens.
  – You can change the loading screen pic with this table.
  – The inital loading screen only, other loading screens require the frontend leader table.
• custom_loading_screens_tables
  – Table required for custom loading screens.
  – I’ve included a script in the unlocker that should make them appear at the start of the game, let me know if i forgot a faction or two.

– You’ll likely want to include a script that will fix the starting camera for that faction, i’ve included an example script that will help you do exactly that.
The script will only load if that specific faction is played, so you can do all sorts of unique things with it, but we’ll just use it to set the camera at the correct position, for now.

– If you unlock a faction that is playable in both campaigns, it will appear as playable in both campaigns even if you only include the tables that unlocks it in the other campaign.
You can fix that with scripts though.

– For faction and lord effects in frontend you’ll need these tables:
frontend_faction_effect_groups_tables
frontend_faction_effect_junctions_tables

– If you want to show your starting units in frontend you’ll need to wait for Vandy’s script library.

– There are few factions missing, like Cult of Excess, not really planning to unlock these factions as they would require extra work for me.

– There are no victory objectives for most factions due to it being a lot of work, if you want those i can include, but please let me know what you want them to be.

If you have questions, please join that discord server and ask your questions there.
