The Victoria 2 Realism & Rebalance Project (2.01 out now!))

[asakura]

After completely reinstalling the game and applying the mod, I'm getting a consistent crash as USA when going to the 9th page of the ledger. This never happened with any other version of the mod and it doesn't happen with the vanilla version of the game. Anyone else having this issue? Also even after the Emancipation Proclaimation I find Slaves in Savannah...

I had similar problems in a previous version (great mod, btw) though I wasn't sure if I had caused myself by editing a few states and provinces. The issue seem to be broken files with missing linebreaks in the history\provinces folder, in this case the usa\204 - Savannah.txt . The engine creates a province without RGO. The province producing "nothing" makes the ledger crash and slaves won't convert to laborers/farmers. To fix it in a running game you'll also have to edit the savegame.

[KonradRichtmark]

Oh damn, I thought I had fixed the broken file for Savannah. Well, it's done now for my w.i.p version of 1.09.

[Wheres My Snack]

Okay. I appreciate the help asakura.

Howdy Konrad, thought i'd let you know that my Guns of August 2 multiplayer campaign is using your VRRP with a few custom changes for a practice game until 1.2 is released, and i'm posting a separate thread in the modding subforum here with it (where I shall credit you!). Hopefully this does not seriously violate your non-redistribution to pirates policy; we play on the metaserver so everyone has a valid pdfox forum account for playing with and downloading said custom mod version.

Prussian Sigmarien and all southern German states in your sphere. You dont need Alsace Lorraine.

It's all good I shall follow your game with interest. And by all means, let me know how the custom changes work out. Even such feedback is helpful to the development process.

Guys, I'm in need of some help. Below is the current working version of 1.09, minus gfx folder (to make the upload smaller, extract over 1.08 installation to try this out).

Naval revamp is done, but there is a bug I haven't been able to find the cause of, despite my best efforts. Cruisers are available to all countries at start, even those with no techs at all. Cause unknown. Please help, I'm out of ideas. Honourable mention in the hall of fame will go to the one who's able to find the cause. I won't be able to release 1.09 until this is fixed.

Edit: Issue fixed. File left here for now if anyone wants a sneak peek at the naval changes, feedback is of course welcome.

[Xcapos]

In navy_inventions.txt there are 2 seperate inventions activiting cruisers. One of them is tied to steel_steamers which doesn't excist anymore. Removing that invention solves the issue.

#steel_steamers
protected_cruisers = {
limit = { steel_steamers = 1 }
chance = {
base = 5
modifier = {
factor = 2
invention = ironclads_vrrp
}
}
effect = {
activate_unit = cruiser
}
}

[KonradRichtmark]

Thank you. You made my day.

By the way, does CanalMod have any overlapping files with VRRP 1.08? Would it overwrite anything (other than older CanalMod files) if I just directly applied it?

[Masakary]

It seems it's related to the navy inventions, i searched around and i found 2 entries that activated the cruiser. After i deleted both of them, the cruiser no longer was activated at the start of the game....now let's see which is the wrong one

Edit : Oh, seems like someone was faster than me.....)

You're welcome.

Only 1 overlapping file, event_modifiers.txt

It's the intention that counts, you'll get an honourable mention too

Another request I repeat:

Does anyone know how to create a global (or even countrywide) modifier reducing the CON of all POPs by a certain specific amount each month?

[Masakary]

You could use the event from the canal mod, the suez one that gives money over a couple of years ->

country_event = {

id = 18591869

trigger = {
NOT = { has_country_modifier = pandemic_influenza }
}

mean_time_to_happen = {
months = 0.2
}

title = "Suez Canal dividends"
desc = "$$$"
picture = "Suez"

option = {
name = "consciousness Down"
middle_strata = {
consciousness = -1
}
poor_strata = {
consciousness = -1
}
rich_strata = {
consciousness = -1
}
add_country_modifier = {
name = pandemic_influenza
duration = 1
}
}
}

It's not an easy job, and it would mean you get a pop-up every month, but it's doable. I'll try to make it myself, to see if it works

Edit : Finally worked it out, but i got some good news and bad news.

The event fires every month, on every country and it reduces the CON of all pops by 1. These are the good news =)

Now, the bad ones. The event sometimes fires twice a month, and i can't figure out why (my modding skills ~ 0, at least with this game). The date at which it fires is random, you could get on the 1st or the 31th :-? Also, it's pretty annonying to have an event every month firing in your face with just an option.

I don't know if it's possible to make it invisible to player, maybe a more experienced modder can help Also, new events would need to be created, i put the pandemic one at random =)

In V1 if you set the event's name to be "AI_EVENT" it would be invisible, and it's effects would be applied without a popup. I have tested this and it doesn't work in V2, but maybe there's a new way with the Clausewitz engine to do this.

konrad, did you consider your changes in interventionism?
to be serious: I feel very annoyed about that.
I don't get it why they needed to be changed from vanilla settings.
I would be very pleased to see them rolled back.

I use this kind of country modifier :

lumiere_century = {
    icon = 17
    global_pop_militancy_modifier = 0.01
    global_pop_consciousness_modifier = -0.01
}

And the consciousness modifier shows up in the pops tool tip, so i think it's ok

Certainly, the dragoon slot is free for use. However, I came to think of something else too. Conscript infantry. Currently, reserve divisions are equal to vanilla infantry in every way. They should be at least a little inferior. After all, a professional soldier has trained full-time for much of his professional life, vanilla infantryman or not. By the very least, conscript infantry should have less ORG, maybe 20 or 25 compared to the 30 of vanilla infantry. Do you know of whether reserve divisions could in any way be made a troop type of their own? Don't worry about running out of slots, the engineer is expendable as far as I'm concerned if we want both conscripts and light infantry.

Maybe you could change the units generated by mobilisation to irregulars to show the lack of experience, training and equipment?

is the 1.09 beta save game combataible with the full 1.09 version ?
