i figured out what the bug i earlier posted was, it was entirely my doing, not part of the mod. I would like to make some suggestions though involving North America.

1. Perhaps Mexico and Canada, or perhaps some of the other power blocks should be given oppurtunity to intervene in the US? Mexico and Canada may support the west coast over the other factions for example. perhaps Britian or France may support the CSA? These could be done in Spanish Civil War fashion.
2. If two factions emerge in addition to regular US, they should probably have events to declare war on eachother.
3. If possible all factions should have claims on the entireity of the USA, including colonies.
4. Philipenes should have an option to revolt from US control once civil war starts.
5. Could there be a "destruction of US navy" event? if the west coast revolts i mean, since the existing boats become unusable after civil war begins.
6. if one of the two radical factions, the American Union State or the CSA comes to power after a war perhaps there should be events for the conquest of the rest of the Americas to come after.

I can answer some of these I hope:

1. I've already sent in some events for Canada's role in the ACW2. You can see (and comment on) them in post #1420 on page 57. I know too that events are planned for Mexico. They may have actually been done already but I'm unsure.
2.CSA and TEX have events to declare war on each other if the other is already at war with the US. Don't know about CAL though, although my Canada events can cause them to go to war with CSA.
4. Again I've submitted an event sequence for a Japanese coup attempt in the Philippines and the resultant affairs between Japan and Germany. They're quite a way further back in the thread (unsure what post). Again though if you can find them comments on them would be great.

3,5 and 6 I'll leave to Sarmatia to answer, though I do agree with 6. and think that perhaps for 5. the navy should be handed over to CAL rather than destroyed if at all possible.

Let's see, after Timotheus' answers....

3. Being done - war end events being planned to give revolter states the US national claims.

5. It's quite difficult to delete specific units via event, and I'm not sure whether this would be 100% neccessary...

6. Could be, but these would be potentially very large events, and other things need to be done beforehand!

2) Hmmm - which events fired exactly, and what did the AI chose in each case?

3) This is probably down to AI files, so I'll look over it.
 
I've been going through my Liberia, Philippines and Canada events and am ashamed to say that they are full of errors which need correcting. Here is the list of said errors (the letters after event numbers show what option the fault is in):

Liberia

events 11a and 12a: Belligerence is accidentally spelt with an extra 'l'.
events 11b and 12b: The last command needs a '}' at the end of it.

Philippines

event 1c: 'type = relationship' needs changing to 'type = relation'
events 2a and 15a: 'type = armanentsminister' needs changing to 'type = armanentminister'
events 5a, 17a and 20a: 'type = relations' needs changing to 'type = relation'
event 12b: needs a '}' to end it
event 17a: 'type = clearflag' needs changing to 'type = clrflag'
events 17 to 21: All uses of the AOG tag need changing to the CGX tag (as there isn't actually an AOG tag).

Canada

events 1,18,22 and 26:'type = relationship' needs changing to 'type = relation'
events 5c,8b,13c,14c,22c and 23c:'type = clearflag' needs changing to 'type = clrflag'
events 6a,7a,9a,10a,11a,12a,14a+b,15a,17a,20a,21a,23a+b,24a,25a,28a,29a,30a+b:
'type = oil' needs changing to 'type = oilpool'

Also, see my next post below.

I had same experience, but I just loaded my autosave and continued playing. I'm not sure, if the crash was caused by the event(s)...

Yes, this American Civil War CTDs seem to be caused by a lot of a different situations, but I haven't actually seem one myself yet!

It looks like in each case where the CTDs are occuring, there are either a lot of 1-day offset events firing at roughly the same time, or a large number of revolter nations in play - So possibly increasing some of the offsets and looking over the events governing the relations between the revolter states would be in order....
 
There is one error (or group of errors) that I can't fix as I can't work out whats wrong. The error message I get is as follows:

ERROR: (Unknown Trigger Type) 'name = The Philippines can remain as our satellite' line = 2037150852 file = if they are granted more territories

The line = and file = bits puzzle me particularly. I have been able to pinpoint the event with those phrases in though and found that the problem is located in one or more of the events that I have reprinted below. Any help fixing these would be appreciated.

Oh yes, it spossible that the same or a similar error occurs more than once as when putting just some of these events in the message sometimes gives a different line number (e.g. 2037150865) and a different 'name = ...' (e.g. deathdate = {' or 'day = 1')

:D - Ah, my personal favourite of all the error messages!

It means the description is too long. There seems to be some variables in this, but you should generally try to keep the written descriptions below about 80 words. Many long historical anecdotes have been lost from my events because of this limit!

Why not use the eventtext.csv file? It allows event texts to be VERY long.

Thanks for that. I'll cut them down to size. Or use the eventtext file maybe, as suggested by Zuckergußgebäck.

Unfortunately I've also discovered that by leaving in start dates, end dates and offsets for events that are supposed to be triggered by other events they are triggering on their own. Thus all those dates need deleting.

Considering the number of errors I think I'll correct them, do a bit of testing and then repost them on here, even though it means several enormous posts.

Yep, a very good idea for some of the more important events that need more explaining - might be a bit much for all of them though, as I'm finding it tricky to keep track of where everything is at the moment!
 
I am continuing work on the chinese event chain.

As of yet, it starts with the AOG threatening to withdraw finanscial interests from China if the chinese don´t make Nantong a legation city. If the chinese refuse, the AOG may withdraw finanscial interests, hurting the chinese economy (and ultimately that of the AOG). If they agree, the Qing loose the mandate of heaven, and riots spread all over the country, gradually worsening. Each time, the Qing get a chance to ask the AOG for help, and when they finally do, the AOG can either demand the eastern stretch of the Yangtse or do nothing. If the chinese accept, the AOG sends troops (loses supplies and manpower) and finally gets a chance to make Qing an AOG puppet, maiking a japanese intervention very likely.

Perhaps we should have quarterly 'income' and 'dividend' events for the AOG, where they have to pay Germany for the right of monopoly on China? And then every year, their contract is renegotiated?

Cool - you don't neccessarily have to delete all the dates in the events - you could make them flag dependant (with the triggering events using the 'setflag' command rather than the 'trigger' command).

Or, I think this would have a similar effect:


event = {
id = 91617
random = no
country = GER
name = "The fate of the Philippines."
desc = "The Philippines is now a German puppet state. However our resources are already stretched and many of our nation's leaders believe that to relieve some of this, the governance of the Philippines, except for a few key naval bases, should be handed over to the Allgemeine Ostasiatische-Gesellschaft. Although this entity is a corporate conglomeration of companies it has the power to exercise control and over a much shorter distance as well.

trigger = {
flag = GER_PHI_PUPPET
puppet = { country = PHI country = GER }
exists = CGX
}
date = { day = 1 month = september year = 1936 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1941 }

action_a = {
name = "Yes, give them to the AOG"
ai_chance = 65
command = { type = end_mastery which = PHI }
command = { type = relation which = CGX value = 25 }
#### command = { type = trigger which = 91618 }
#### command = { type = trigger which = 91619 }

command = { type = clrflag which = GER_PHI_PUPPET }
command = { type = setflag which = AOG_PHI_PUPPET }
}
action_b = {
name = "The Philippines can remain as our satellite"
ai_chance = 35
command = { type = relation which = CGX value = -25 }
command = { type = supplies value = -1000 } # This represents the overstretched resources that result
command = { type = money value = -300 }

command = { type = sleepevent which = 91618 }
command = { type = sleepevent which = 91619 }

}
}

event = {
id = 91618
random = no
country = CGX
name = "Philippines turned over to us"
desc = "The German government has agreed to turn over the administration of the puppet government in the Philippines to us."
style = 0
trigger = {

event = 91617

}
date = { day = 1 month = september year = 1936 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1940 }

action_a = {
name = "Hurray"
command = { type = make_puppet which = PHI }
command = { type = dissent value = -5 }
command = { type = set_relation which = PHI value = 200 }
}
}

event = {
id = 91619
random = no
country = PHI
name = "Germans seize naval bases"
desc = "The Germans have put us under the control of the AOG, but have decided to directly control certain naval bases as well."
style = 0
trigger = {
event = 91617
}
date = { day = 1 month = september year = 1936 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1940 }

action_a = {
name = "Give them up"
command = { type = secedeprovince which = GER value = 1738 } # Batam
command = { type = secedeprovince which = GER value = 1735 } # Palawan
command = { type = secedeprovince which = GER value = 1748 } # Southern island
command = { type = secedeprovince which = GER value = 1749 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = GER value = 1750 }
command = { type = setflag which = GERMAN_BASES_PHI }
}
}

This way, 91618 and 91619 would be set to fire only once 91617 had actually occured, and wouldn't fire at all if Germany had chosen 'option b' in 91617. And you get to keep the 30 day offset, which can be useful in some events. (maybe not these specific ones though...)

Yep, sounds good! Possibly be good to have the Qing losing the Mandate of Heaven being reflected by a flag (eg. 'QING_MANDATE_LOST'). That way, it can be offset regulated and be triggered by a number of different events/situations (eg. if Qing dissent gets too high, if the Millenarians get lots of support, etc...), rather than just by this one event chain.
 
Zuckergußgebäck said:
So what do you suggest? Shall I keep this event chain as it is, but add a flag command to the 'Mandate of Heaven' event?

:) - Yeah, it's only a pretty minor change!

Rather than have the AOG event directly trigger the 'Losing the Mandate of Heaven' event, have it set the 'QING_MANDATE_LOST' flag, which will be the trigger condition for the 'Losing the Mandate of Heaven' event.
