GTFO: Remove countries from your SOI

[Grandmasta]

This is GTFO.

GTFO is a set of (toggleable) decisions allowing you to aband -- er, free satellites and boot people out of your Sphere of Influence. This is something that people seemed like they wanted to do. So, here you go everyone, much love.

Mechanically, it looks like this:

gtfo_BEL = {
    alert = no
    potential = {
        has_country_flag = gtfo
        BEL = {
            OR = {
                vassal_of = THIS
                in_sphere = THIS
            }
        }
    }
    allow = { ai = no }
    effect = {
        release_vassal = BEL
        diplomatic_influence = { who = BEL value = -200 }
    }
}

One of those for every working tag in the game. It wasn't as tedious as it sounds.

Feel free to put this in Your Mod so long as you give me a shout out if/when publishing Your Mod on the internets.

Version History
0.1: Initial release
0.2: Updated to only show up for Great Powers, since otherwise you can't have a SOI and it's just cluttering your decisions.
1.0: Will now free a country from being your dominion or satellite, and drops your influence by 200 instead of 101. (It's a neater number.)
1.1: Removed the restriction to just GPs, since it's conceivable a lesser power could have a satellite they want to release
1.2: Appropriately, added 1.2 nations. (I've been playing Vicky again!) Guessed at the names by looking at the tags and hazily-remembered patch notes, so potential LOLs.
2.0: Long-overdue release for AHD modifying .mod file to work with AHD's new format. I tested it a tiny bit and it seems to work! (No promises.)

I'm actually in a hurry right now but I can put up a blurb later. This is GTFO. GTFO allows you to boot people out of your Sphere of Influence. This is something that people seemed like they wanted to do. So, here you go everyone, much love.

Love the name of this mod!

Update bump

[Alexspeed]

So this adds a new decision to remove any country from your own SOI?

Do you get any effects when you do it?
Relation hit, war declaration or anything?

Nope, just what it says on the tin.

It adds a "Turn on GTFO" decision to all Great Powers. When enabled you will have access to a "Remove from SOI" decision corresponding to each country in your SOI (if any), plus an option to turn GTFO back off again.

The mechanical effect of each decision is to reduce your diplomatic influence with the selected nation by 101.

Nice

[Manifestant]

Thanx
Whether you can create mod in which it is possible to release the satellites / dominions?

I'd too would love to see a GTFO Complete

[Grandmasta]

I have no idea if that is possible within a decision or event framework but I can look into it

EDIT: It looks like there's a "release_vassal" effect used for the Coronation of Queen Victoria event that might fit the bill.

[Menocchio]

The AI will use it too?

[elder18]

Also, will it work with a game in progress, or do I need to start over? Thanks.

[elder18]

Also, can I assume this doesn't work with the 1.2 patch? Ugh.

[Manifestant]

Free satellits is very good. Thank you.

[Nachtwesen]

That sounds tasty.. is it working with 1.2?

WOW this is the best mod I've yet come across because it does what it says on the tin.

How exactly do you install this? I can't find an installation guide for any of these mods.
Tried putting the files in the associated folders, dropping the folders in the mods directory, no luck.

[Samsone]

Yes how do you install this?

[NovaCoru]

Just drop the decisions and localization folder right into your main Vicky 2 folder. There shouldn't be anything overwritten

[Karakoran]

Two things

1) Will the AI spam the shit out of this? Like will Prussia give up all its SOIs and Vassels by Day 2?

2) Where are the decisions and the localization located in each file? I want to put it into a (Divergences) mod but not screw up all the localization.

[NovaCoru]

1) AI can't use it, it's restricted to the player only.

2) Just open up the mods folders and there will be a gtfo.txt in the decisions folder and a gtfo.csv in the localization folder. That contains everything for the mod. You could just drag and drop it into divergences, but any country that does not use a vanilla tag will not get any GTFO decisions unless you edit them in yourself.
