Deus Vult Improvement Pack - Discussion

[saskganesh]

@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.

seems fine then. I have a good mix of agnatic and semi salic primo at the moment. make inheritances interesting.

[Rossiya]

Is it to be expected that DVIP crashes every now and then? Say perhaps ever 20 years?

[jordarkelf]

Not due to the mod, but CK-DV appears to have some instability left.

[Rossiya]

when it crahes say, on 15th october 1201, and i go back to an older save game, will it keep crashing on the same date?

[Veldmaarschalk]

That is impossible to tell

[Rossiya]

From people's experience? How about for you? Does it crash for you? When you go back to an older save game and get to the crash point does it crash again? How often does this happen?

My games sometimes crash but when I restart I safely can pass that date.

[Rossiya]

Yes. Now that I have implemented autosave (I don't know why I didn't have this on in the first place) I have safely passed the date on which it had previously crashed.

Just to clarify - does this latest Addon version include the BOPACK events? Or should I install it separately?

The latest add-on does contain the BOPACK-SMACK events, but you need to add this line to C:\.....\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings\db\events.txt

# BOP_smack
event = "db\events\BOP_smack_events.txt"

So that, that file looks like this

#
# Crusader Kings Events Database
#
#

event = "db\events\Provincial_Structure_Events.txt"
event = "db\events\Provincial_Conversion_Events.txt"

[jordarkelf]

They were actually included by mistake -- I use them in my own game, and had to adjust a few events to take care of female inheritance.
It's best to download the full Bopack mod and install it as you normally would, but if you use the DVIP Addon, to leave my version of BOP_smack_events.txt (do not overwrite it). Otherwise you might get countries inadvertently switching to the new law.

[Rossiya]

My game just keeps crashing for no real reason - now at roughly the same time. A "fatal error" occurs, talking about an "unhandled expection detected". Anything I can do to remedy this?

I can never seem to get through a whole game without it being ruined by these problems!

[Veldmaarschalk]

No, sadly enough not.

Your game crashing is most likely not related to this mod.

Look here

One of the problem with fixing this issue is that no everybody has these fatal errors.

[Rossiya]

The game crashing is not related to the bug?

[Veldmaarschalk]

The game crashing is not related to the bug?

Sorry, not related to this mod

[Rossiya]

Well, thank God for the oldautosave! After fiddling around a lot with a save I had made and the autosave and no success, I tried playing back from the oldautosave, and touch wood it seems to be OK now.

Is there any way to reduce the risk of these kinds of errors from occurring? Anything you should do in addition to renaming the avi folder for example?

Just make sure you have installed the latest beta-patch for DV and don't have any other programs run in the background when you play DV. That is about all I can say.

Well it's official: I can't find my files for DVIP Wales any longer. Filefront deleted it as well, so it's dead and won't return. Rather than trying to recreate it, I'll continue work on my new map instead. Apologies to my Brythonic fans

[Veldmaarschalk]

Here is your file from 28.08.2008

DVIP Wales 28.08.2008

[Sgian Dubh]

Hi all,

I have been runing DVIP for some time.

My question is about the new version. Can I just overwrite the existing files? DO I need to start with a fresh DV install? Will my existing game load and run.

Thanks,
