Perhaps it can even be used by others wishing to develop in Lua and who have been a little cooled by the research necessary to find the information. I won't tell you how many scripting directories I have already explored, you would be surprised, pleasantly I hope. Lost in the djungle of init.lua-files Writing scenarios (campaigns) is so troublesome... i am writing one for years now. From time to time i find some motivation to work further but after some time the motivation get lost again, just because it's so annoying to start the scenario from the beginning, find a failure, fix it, start the scenario again from the beginning, find the next failure, start again, check possible playeractions, find a failure again, fix it, and so on, and so on...

There is no need to hope in order to undertake nor to succeed in order to persevere. I agree.

The initialization of Economy work very well. But ...... When I build anything, in fact when I build the road, the Economy turns back to "Default". Which really does not suit me at all, you could even say that it puts me in a dire situation. I start with a very limited supply of Logs and Irons and the blacksmith spoils it by crafting stuff that I don't need at this point in the game. What can I do?

When you connect two previously separate economies, each target setting can become either the first economy's target or the second economy's target. This is resolved by picking the target value which was least recently modified. If they were both modified at the same time, choice is arbitrary (but deterministic). So it seems there may be a problem with too-early or too-late setting of the target amounts. Edit: If this does not help, please post the code with which the problem can be reproduced Edited: 2021-04-20, 12:25 Top Quote

My initialization is made in file 'starting_conditions.lua' which is the first local include in 'init.lua'. I deleted the file '../tribes/economy_profils/barbarians', but I got the same result. I open the economy window, it is as I want it and the name is "-", I click to build a metal workshop, still good, I click on the flag of my headquarter to create the road and just then I see the economy go to 'default' . To initialize I am using the syntax given by kaputtnik above. Just hq is global variable, not local. Actually there is a lot of dust in my files. The .tar.bz2 is 1 Mo big. But if you want I can post it.

It is used to default-initialize the target settings of every new economy. From your description I don't see why your procedure shouldn't work though, please upload the tarball Top Quote

Enclose Atanase.zip I had to try : .tar.bz2 and .tar.gz before to find that only .zip is allowed.

This is a bit non-standard so it may have bugs that do not occur otherwise. This way, all modifications happen at gametime 0 which is also the constant used to mark that a setting was never modified and can therefore be safely overwritten. If you wrap your code in in a coroutine and add a very brief sleeptime as safeguard, like this: `run(function() sleep(1) include "map:scripting/starting_conditions.lua" include "map:scripting/texts.lua" include "map:scripting/utility_functions.lua" include "map:scripting/mission_thread.lua" end)` then it works fine.

The economy remained as I wanted, perfect. The blacksmith made the three items I asked for (hammer, pick, felling ax) and ... He made a 2nd pick that I didn't ask for. But no 2nd hammer or 2nd felling ax, just the pick in 2 copies when I only asked for one. Why 2 Picks? Why not 2 Picks AND 2 Hammers? Now he is at 0% activity while he still has enough in the forge to make 4 tools. The purpose of all this is 1) to show the player how to recover resources in the workshops if they are needed elsewhere. So I have to manage to have enough in the forge to build a Lumberjacks Hut and a Quarry and have nothing in stock. 2) to show how we can play very finely by managing the Economies as accurately as possible. Let's be Eco-friendly and avoid making 25 kitchen tools when we only have 3 big inns and only need 9 kitchen tools. A true hound I said.
