EU3toVic2 / Vic2toHoi3 Converter Project

[Matnjord]

Hi everybody! I just tried converting a new gamebut the converter comes up with this error at the begining of the parsing:

"Error: Cannot find leaf culture in object
aristocrats=
{
religion=theravada
size=100
} "

I tried with and without the converter mod, no changes.
I'm using A House Divided and Divine Wind; no mods.

Here is the log.txt:

What patches does ths converter require?I have 5.1 for eu 3 and 2.31 for vic 2.Also if i have great war mod will it work or not?

I second this. Don't have the time to look though all the pages to find the answer, so someone please answer this.

Ok, I now know that it works with 5.1 eu 3 to 2.31 vic 2(still don't know if it works with the Great war mod... Dose it work with the ADP Mod?). And where is this Zonix's converter mod(Download link)?

It seems it works with 5.1 and 2.31. ;-)
I've tested it with the latest patches (not the beta patches!) on my system, and it will likely work with other versions as well.

As for mods, we haven't designed it to work with any mods. It depends on what they've changed. And I've done no testing, so you're on your own there. Sorry.

That's really odd. When trying to read in some V2 pops, one set lacked a religion definition. That shouldn't be possible. Do you have a Steam version, by any chance? That kind of input file corruption seems to happen with Steam installs. If so: try clicking Properties, Local Files, Verify Integrity of Game Cache. If I'm right, it'll re-download some files. Try conversion again after that.

Unfortunatly no, that can't be the reason as I don't use steam for EU3 and V2.
I'll try and upload the input.eu3 file later in the day.

[JesterCorp1990]

I copied my Austria game into the mod folder. I renamed it to input.eu3. I edited the configuration to point to my version of Vic and my version of EU3. I double clicked the EU3toVConverter exe and...Nothing happened. Any suggestions? When I say nothing, I mean..Nothing.

The same thing happened to me. I put the FOLDER paths for V2 and EU3 (without adding the name of the exe file itself, right?) in the configuration.txt. First I was told I needed MSVCP100.dll, so I downloaded the Visual C++ runtime components, both x86 and 64-bit, and installed them. (right? I have Win7 64-bit.)

Also, output.txt is supposed to appear in a folder named converter. Does the converter generate that folder? I don't see the folder, in either the folder where the converter lives or among the V2 program folders.

[DrCh]

p.s. I have EU3 in the Steam/Steamapps path, but V2 is in the standard paradox path. I want to run the converter mod. Is the latest version 0.95? It's not entirely clear to me what file to download for that. Also, could that be my problem? I was going to try just running the converter by itself first, to what the game looked like.

pps. I left the pathnames inside the quotation marks. right? wrong?

ppps. my EU3 savegame is dated 1760, but I read in this thread that that is okay. true?

[DrCh]

I removed the quotation marks from the paths, ran the converter, and got the following message:

Error:
cannot find leaf start_date in object
configuration=
{
v2directory=C:
}

I did not change the start date in the config file - it still reads 12.1.1835 (or whatever the default is)

[JesterCorp1990]

I'm reproducing these exact same results.

[niallmcfc]

You don't need to play until the end.

You were probably using the previous version, which didn't work and caused a crash when the save was loaded. The new one doesn't cause a crash.

Ok thanks. I'll try again next time I get round to it.

Seems correct, but output.v2, for me at least, got put in Victoria II/Save Games. I could load it immediately in Victoria2 Vanilla.

EDIT: Here's what I have, for reference.

configuration =
{
# Victoria 2 directory: a path on your computer where Victoria 2 is installed
v2directory = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Victoria 2"

# Europa Universalis 3 directory: a path on your computer where Europa Universalis 3 is installed
EU3directory = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\europa universalis iii - complete"

It worked like charm. Maybe make sure you have the latest version?

[JesterCorp1990]

configuration =
{
# Victoria 2 directory: a path on your computer where Victoria 2 is installed
v2directory = "C:\Program Files\Paradox Interactive\Victoria 2"

# Europa Universalis 3 directory: a path on your computer where Europa Universalis 3 is installed
EU3directory = "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Europa Universalis III - Complete"


That is how mine reads and it doesn't work. DrCh and I are having identical problems and the problem is that the converter isn't working at all. You double click Eu3toV2converter.exe and a black box pops up for about a quarter of a second and vanishes. It doesn't convert input.eu3 at all. The placement of the file isn't an issue because it doesn't create a new file, aka the output.V2 file.

In the converter folder, look for a file called 'log.txt' (or just 'log' if you have extensions turned off.) It might tell you what exactly the problem is. If not, past what it tells you here, and someone might be able to figure it out.

[Idhrendur]

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Try going one directory up, then hold shift and right-click the directory where you have the converter. Holding shift will add a new option to the list: 'Open command window here'. Select that one. In the command window, type 'Eu3toV2converter.exe'. Any error messages should remain displayed in the command window. Please report them here.

Leave the quotation marks. I'm not sure how the converter parses the config file, but I'm sure they're needed if you're path has any spaces in it, such as in "Paradox Interactive" or "Victoria 2". From the error message, it seems like it is actually failing to see any part of the path past C:.

Odd, especially since before, you said you had renamed your save to 'input.eu3'. Hrm. Try draggin-and-dropping the save onto the exe.

Thanks, Idhrendur. I got "invalid path" messages for both paths. I figured out that you need have a space between "program files" and "(x86)" du'oh! output.v2 appeared in the same folder as the converter, but I copied it over to my V2 save games folder. I'll try to load it later on today.

[JesterCorp1990]

No luck.

What I am looking at:

Download folder:


Unzipped it using WinRar to this folder (You can also see my input.eu3 here):



Vic2 folder:



Eu3 Folder:



I changed my config:



Got this result:

Yeah, I usually go into the folder itself and copy the path from the title bar, it's too hard to type it just right. And that's the normal place for the output to appear, so I'm guessing you're good to go!
