Even More Dumber's Guide to Make Your Own Country


This guide will try to walkthrough anyone to make his own country, as example I will create the Dumber Federation


1) replace the following line at ...\Victoria\config\worldnames.csv
Code:
Uxx;User Defined;;;;;;;;Benutzerdefiniert;;x
by
Code:
Uxx;Dumber Federation;;;;;;;;Benutzerdefiniert;;X
Where:
xx can be a number between 00-19;
Dumber Federation the name of your country;


2) add the following line to the line before the last one at ...\Victoria\db\country.csv
Code:
Uxx;DarkRed;SPA;MIN;Light_Blue;White;9;25;X
Where:
DarkRed will be the political color of my country ingame;
SPA is the refering language to the unitnames of the Dumber Federation (no prejudice here;));
the Light_Blue;White are the colors of the Army uniform, refering to coats and trousers;
9 is a reference to the file ...Victoria\gfx\Interface\cities.bmp, which will display the 9th figure as capital;
25 is a reference to the file ...\Victoria\gfx\Interface\frontend\leaders.bmp, which will display the 25th leader;


3) add the following string to the end of the file in ...\Victoria\db\revolt.txt
Code:
Uxx = { #DBF
	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1885 }
	expirydate = { day = 31 month = december year = 1920 }
	minimum = { 2038 2039 2040 2340 2341 2342 }
	extra = { }
	capital = 2039
	culture = { type = philippine }
	religion = catholic
	literacy = -1
	ai = "default.ai"
	slaves = no
	vassal = yes #no if you don't want to SPA be able to release them as satellite
	revolt = yes #not sure
	primitive = no
	}
Where:
date is a date specified to when your country can start to exist, as example if it is set to 1900, this country won't be formed prior this date;
expirydate is a date specified to when your country won't be able to forme anymore, as example if it is set to 1900 this country won't be formed after this date;
minimum is the core provinces of your new country;
extar is the claim provinces of your new country;
capital no need to explain;
culture religion are the state culture and the official religion;
literacy if set to -1, will be inherited by the former holder, or from 0-1, where 1 = 100%;
ai is the name of the ai file, which should be loaded at the creation of the country;
slaves if set to yes, the country will be able to maintain POP's as slaves;
vassal if set to no, the holder country won't be able to release it as a satellite;
revolt not sure here, but I do think that if set to yes this country will only be allowed to exist if the provinces were taken by The Rebel Scum (yoh, matey!);
primitive if set to yes, this country will be regarded as uncivilized

4) add the file leaders.uxx to ...\Victoria\db\leaders\
Where, once again xx is a number between 0-19 (Dumber's Note: It MUST be the same one that you should be using!!!). This file is not necessary;


5) add the file to Uxx_party.csv to ...\Victoria\db\parties\
This file MUST exist, following is an example of such file:
Code:
country;id;name;start;end;ideology;Economic;Trade;Religious;Minority;War;Culture;Religion;Status
Uxx;284000;Liberal Party;1885;1920;liberal;laissez_faire;free_trade;pluralism;residence;anti_military;all;all;x
Uxx;284001;Conservative Party;1885;1920;conservative;interventionism;protectionism;pluralism;residence;pro_military;all;all;x
Where:
country your chosen TAG;
id this number must be inside of the range of the chosen TAG;
name name of the party;
start start date;
end end date;
ideology the strings are [anarcho_liberal,liberal,reactionary,conservative,communist,socialist];
Economic the strings are [laissez_faire,interventionism,state_capitalism,planned_economy]
Trade the strings are [free_trade,protecionism]
Religious the strings are [moralism,pluralism,secularized,atheism]
Minority the strings are [slavery,residence,limited_citizenship,full_citizenship]
War the strings are [jingoism,pro_military,anti_military,pacifism]
Culture the strings are [culture,all]
Religion the strings are [religion,all]
Status the strings are [third_party,all]


6) add the flag to ...Victoria\gfx\map\flags
the file Uxx.bmp, where xx is your TAG number


7) add the shield to ...\Victoria\gfx\map\shields
the file Uxx.bmp, where xx is your TAG number


8) add the events to the file Uxx.txt at ...Victoria\db\events


9) add the following code to the file Uxx.inc at ...\Victoria\scenarios\Scenario Folder
Code:
country = {
	tag = [id] [i]#your chosen TAG[/i]
	capital = [number] [i]#explained in revolt.txt[/i]

Great work pimparel!
Hey Grosshaus make it sticky please! :D
 
Etienne Martel said:
For the first thing, you want \Victoria\Config\worldnames_text, do you not?

Forgot that one. Thanks.
 
You have lots of "add to" parts. Would it be clearer to have something like "edit line (insert original line) to (insert new line)"?

Also #telling everything after this doesn't count isn't explained.

What I really want is a hopeless fool's guide to making a new country, something easy enough that I would have figured it out with it before this moderating task and stuff;)

Please be more specific.

Edit: OK Grosshaus, you won. I will try to compile a "Even Dumber's Guide to make your own country"

Well, TAG U07 is reserved to the Dumber Federation and TAG U08 to Dumber Confederation. They start at war!
 
Hi,

yours is a great job!

but after I followed each step,

and begin a new game, I can't choose the
new country,

I went to the .eug file and made it available,
but the game CTD after finished loading,
I chose another country to begin and find
that the provinces of the new country
turned to unclaimed terretory......

what should I do to make is possible to
begin with the new country?

thanks!

PM me or send me a e-mail to check your files.

But you followed every step? Did you get a CTD or there is a message first?
 
Hello guys, great guide! But I was trying to do a nation following its steps and I failed. I had this error when trying to open Victoria (upon trying to open the game exe file):
Error in language file,token '"######NAMES OF COUNTRIES & AREAS######
And I have no idea of what to do... funny thing is I can´t find that line in any file that I editted... any clues?

Zip your changes and send it to me. So I can check it.

Checked. Saved the *.csv files with the wrong program.

I see a couple typos:

- Your government is designated as a "demoncracy" :rofl:
- TUR is mentioned twice in the relations-section
- Your ruling party is set to 2501; you should use one of "your" parties

I don't know if there is a place your party-file needs to be added to includes; perhaps someone else knows?
