Cool, thanks.

Here's a question for you DVIP guys:

For the next version of my mod, I'm going to slap my changes on top of the DVIP changes. However, that will require me to add a large number of events to DVIP. So, I'm wondering: what would a good range of event numbers be for me to use (and not, of course, have my events clash with the DVIP ones)?

[jordarkelf]

Use any free range as per the clearing house -- I suggest you use 24400 to 24499. Reply to the thread if you pick this

Cheers, Jordarkelf. I'll start with 24400-24499, though I have a feeling I'll exceed 100 events fairly soon.

I finally can play CK again, so I'm slowly working on an update. Mainly will be bugfixes of stuff I've noticed before.

[jordarkelf]

Update is out.
Next update will hopefully again include DVIP Wales, if I can track down the files.

Hi, thanks for the update.
When I start up a scenario I get a lot of error messages about unknown event types in the event files. I made a fresh install of CKDV + updates and your addons but everything stays the same. Did I do something wrong here or are some event files messed up? I am playing this mod for some years now but never experienced anything like this.......
Thought to let you know

[jordarkelf]

Typo in varia.txt... I'll fix and reupload.
I forgot a { on line 587, should've been condition = { type = or

//Edit: DVIP addon reuploaded with the above fix. Should do the trick.
Thanks for letting me know so quickly!

[Markus_cz]

Thanks for the update, jordarkelf, that was a nice surprise!

I originally came to ask this question: I was thinking about adding some event mod to my game, though I'm unsure which are good and whether they work with DVIP. I read the BOPACK thread and there was some mention by you that you were rewriting the events, so that they fit in DVIP better, so that they are less deterministic, etc. Was this work ever finished, and if yes, is it available somewhere?

The other way how to put this question is: do you recommend some event mods for use with DVIP, or is it better just to use DVIP as it is? Thank you.

Err... does the Female Inheritance still crash on XP? The readme file says it does, but the download thread says it doesn't.

Now that female inheritance no longer is a crasher, it's enabled by default in the addon.

Be it as it may, it does crash on my XP:

[Gerulf]

Yes, still got the event errors......got XP too

[jordarkelf]

Markus & Gerulf: that's not related to the original reason it crashed XP, this is just a dumb typo on my part -- but yeah, it's still a crasher... fixed now. Please redownload the addon.

[Gerulf]

Thanks a bunch!!!
Working perfectly now......
Off to do some crusading

[saskganesh]

awesome. looking fwd to playing the update.

[Queen Lor]

I ran across this error a couple times today after a fresh install of the latest update.

[saskganesh]

I have applied the update and add-on, but it works fine for me. same event.

how clean was your install? you may have missed a step or a version. which happens.

[saskganesh]

female succession is cool, but it seems rather popular among the AI. should this be the case?

[jordarkelf]

@sask: in my opinion, yes. Full agnatic primogeniture (or rather as CK implements it, Agnatic-cognatic primogeniture) was the de facto most common law in western Europe outside of the salic areas.

@Queen Lor: is it possible your modtext.csv file was not overwritten on unzipping? Please try unzipping the addon again. Note that if you use additional mods, you might need to manually merge the modtext.csv files.

Not really, it all depends on the regions which are not visible in the map.
I guess the region of Salerno is not in the acceptable list for Palermo, it would need to be added to the event.

That's a vanilla event by the way...

It's a really important one. Can we go through it? or would it need its own thread?

I uploaded a map of the regions and areas a while ago. It should still be in a thread on the CK scenario & modification forum...

That's the map I made of the regions on the CK map (as of Deus Vult 2.1)
