Mod guide: How to create a new country

**Dgatsby** · 09-10-2010 02:00

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some help. I've followed the guide exactly, or at least I thought exactly, but I'm running to a problem. Every time I load the game up with the mod loaded via JSGME the game crashes at the processing flags/loading flags. Tried everything I could think of but I'm an amateur at this. Any thoughts? I've uploaded my mod files here:

Thanks!

I'll look it over here to see if I can find your problem.

I seem to be having a small bit of trouble dling the file from your current location.
Upload it to fileplanet, here to the forums, or somewhere else.

Hey, thanks for you help! Wasn't sure how to upload here, so I have it on Fileplanet: http://www.fileplanet.com/216698/210...I-Cascadia-Mod

I'm lost about this flag part.

Is it so I can only get my countries flag to work if I delete another nations flag?

I had the same problem. Turned out to have nothing to do with flags at all; I didn't have my province files in the right section (they were in in history/provinces, not history/provinces/(region here))

Hey thanks Palfouri! That solved the problem exactly! I would have never thought to look there, it certainly seemed like a flag problem.

I'm thinking about creating Arabia as a national unification. I think I could pull of the decision to do it since I could just reuse the code for the other ones, but I'm not sure if I would need to do all these history files for the country.

Hey, can someone tell me how to change the colors of new nations? I am toying iwth a Napoleonic mod, and for some reason two adjacent nations have the same color.

**Faeelin** · 14-10-2010 16:50

Incidentally, how can I go about adding alternative names for a nation? I know hat Russia becomes the Soviet Union...

**dimmer** · 18-10-2010 21:24

Hmm, i must have done something wrong, my country only shows up as some uncolonised provinces.

**UFOash** · 21-10-2010 22:37

What would happen if I were to just add the nations in, as if they were like the other nations?

What bad would come of it?

I've been trying to do exactly the same thing atm.
The problem for me was that when I adjusted the Localisation file to include "ARB;Arabia;Arabia;Arabia;Arabia;;;;;;;;x" it moved all the text up one, which messed up all the text in the whole game. The wrong words appeared everywhere.

i want to create a new country but not show it up at the start of the game. i want to make it independence later in the game. what do i not have to do and what extra?

This is actually pretty simple: The first line of every .txt file in the "\common\countries"-folder looks like this:

color = { 84 96 136 }

edit as you wish.

It only shows the tags in my game and I don't know whether it was mod-related or not, but after the last loading screen (the one with the train) the map did not appear, the picture just stayed the same but I had this hand. Did this happen to anyone else?

**jfinley12** · 31-10-2010 03:50

ok i have created Ireland Scottland and a bunch of countries in India, but how do I create an alliance. So suppose I want to make Scottland and Ireland allies from the start what would I do.

**WelshDude** · 21-12-2010 19:47

Look, I understand how to make a country, but how do you mod in parties for your country? And is there an easy way to convert flags to tga?

**robb1993** · 09-02-2011 13:44

i'm terrible and modding and files, if anyone could make and then PM me the Republic of western Australia then i'd be eternally grateful and won't troll a single thread for the rest of the year.

if someone really wanted to be nice and help a friend then they could split Australia into it's 6 separate states. but that's only if they really wanted to.

Question echoed.

Also, is there something to tell you what colours are in code?
On Western Australia, I can mod in province ownership, but not the flag.
