Bretonnia Vow Auto Complete

Description
Intro:
Skip all the micromanagement for Bretonnia vows! The vow was refreshing and cool, but quickly become a burden and distraction in late game. AI lords can complete vows automatically, but not agents nor player faction; also, paladin vow is bugged, and damsel should be treated the same as prophetess.

This mod solves all these issues. It will auto complete the three Bretonnia vows / troths at level 2, 5, 10, for all Bretonnia lord, paladin, prophetess, and damsel!

How it works:
After a character reaches the required level (or recruited with high level), the vows will be automatically completed when you add any skill point in the character panel.

Works for both player and AI. Also, the 4 playable Bretonnia faction leaders will start with 3 vows completed.

Important:
Do not manually start a vow progress for a character. If you have a vow in progress (say in a save file), the current vow may not complete automatically. Only when the current vow is manually completed, then later vows of this character will be auto-completed based on level. No need, and do not, initiate a vow manually!

For Damsel, the troth won't show in trait panel, but the buffs correctly apply to battle and campaign effects.

Other mods:
This mod is save game compatible, and should work with every other mod.

This mod is very useful for recruiting Bretonnia lords in my two other mods:
The Last Alliance: Embassy and Units + The Last Alliance: Lord and Hero .
Without this mod, any Bretonnia lord recruited by a foreign faction cannot complete his vow (since there is no UI to initiate vow).

This mod is fully compatible with the unique Bretonnia lords and agents introduced in
Duke of Bretonnia, Mixu Legendary lords 1, Mixu Legendary lords 2.

If you already have level 40 general, or have no immediate skill point on a save file or after confederate another faction, you can use the respec mod to respec a general, add any skill point in character panel, then his vows will be auto completed.

Minor issue: Together with the chivalry system, this mod can be used for vow exploit that gives free upkeep to some knights. In particular, Louen Leoncoeur will have free grail upkeep. As economy is never an issue for Bretonnia in mid to late-game, just take this as a small easter-egg :-) I will attempt to fix the issue when WH3 releases. Thanks to @incata for bringing this to my attention.

This mod makes the game much better. Thanks a lot.

It's not as if he knew it had it right away, and even if he did, it's on you for not reading the above desc first. It's harder than you think to create mods that don't have issues. Besides, I think that exploit is something in the game to begin with, it's just making it able to be done earlier seeing as all this mod does it make the vows auto complete, it means that once you completed them yourself, you were getting free upkeep grail knights anyway.

@Lebrandt bruh... game breaking feature that make knights free???? why don't you also go yell at the people who created 0 upkeep mods too... It's not like you have to use that exploit, idiot...
And how tf does it ruin your save??? The AI don't follow the same upkeep system the player does, so they aren't gaining anything from it anyway (I have seen ai on the easiest mode build 2 fully stacked armies while only having one city, so you can't say the AI is using the same system we do) and if yourself don't use it, how is it exploitative??

Why the f*** would you upload a mod that has a game breaking feature that leaves knights units with zero upkeep? Great wasting my time on a legendary campaign come to find out late in that my save is ruined by a exploitative feature.

@incata,

I think you have nailed down the problem. It is because in CA's script, they added different vows. This problem can be fixed by using the same vow in each tier, in every brt script that gives vows. But if the player wants, they can still get double vows by manually initiating a different vow.

So IMO it does not worth fixing, until CA itself fix the repeated vow issue.

@BAGHolder It cost me more to eliminate the part that affects the knights of the kingdom, I do not know why but it seems that it only works well with one of the inputs, with the other it continued to happen even if the vow was the same, you also have to take into account that the Lords can acquire the vow through chivalry and it can affect (perhaps that was why). I also discovered that someone had already created a mod explaining this. His mod I had already tried it some time ago but when I saw that it started without maintenance it gave me the impression of a broken mod, again I found it and when reading a comment I remembered the old Bretonnian bug and that's why I took a look and changed it. His mod really seems very good to me and I like it but I'm sorry that people can think the same and don't give it a chance just because of that. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1987385962&searchtext=fix+bretonia

I think I know how to remove the double grail vow for Leon now:

in the starting_vow section, remove the first definition that adds grail vows to Bretonnia. Since Leon already starts with grail vow, the mod is adding it again. Once you remove that line, he will have normal upkeep for grail.

I will leave the mod as it is, but thanks a lot for going it through with me. Now I see the problem, I will certainly change it for WH3, if CA didn't fix the exploit yet.

As you wish ;)

@incata

Ah I see what you meant! This is actually intentional to match the original CA script.

In vanilla, Leon starts with the campaign_pledge, while normal AI Brt lords get protect_pledge as they level up. So for this mod, I used the campaign_pledge for the 4 LL, while normal level-up got protect_pledge. Because the two scripts are separated, neither LL nor normal lords ever got the vow more than once from this mod.

So, no normal lord get free upkeep for grail units, but I do notice that Leon got free upkeep for grail...which is probably related to the vanilla vow exploit:

In vanilla, every time a Brt lord is recruited, confederated, etc. there is a script that checks the chivalry level and add the knight / questing vows twice. So free upkeep has been a thing for Bretonnia with or without the mod.

Again, something that logically shouldn't happen, but this is just one lord so I will let it be, and see if it has been fixed in WH3 :-)

@BAGHolder Its mod enhances the bug much more. I will try to explain it but I am using the google translator to communicate. Basically the problem is that there are 2 vow types for 2 rewards (knight and grail), not knowing this you used the 2 interchangeably to create the mod and expanded the bug to other factions even added a new one. what i did is just use 1 type for all regardless of where you get it and by type. It is difficult to see since only one word changes in a long line. Example:
wh_dlc07_trait_brt_questing_vow_campaign_pledge
wh_dlc07_trait_brt_questing_vow_protect_pledge
Originally the bug occurred when Bretonnia was confederated using another faction, now Bretonnia itself has the bug from the beginning, the others I think also and introduced this same error but with the vow of the grail that I think the original game did not have. Obviously the mod will still work but it gives the Bretonnian faction a pretty considerable advantage. If you want it, it's yours, you decide
