Does Victoria 2 allow province history files to be in /history/provinces or must they always be in a subfolder? Can the subfolders be named arbitrarily in mods or must they be the same as vanilla?

It have to be in a folder. i don't know what would happen if someone uses a new folder and put provinces in. I will check.

[Shadowkano]

Vicky will load the files from the root history/provinces folder (tested just now by copying a single folders contents to the root), and these folders can be named arbitrarily. I imagine Paradox grouped them in generally nation/region specific folders due to the sheer number of files. Vanilla Vicky has Seuz (ala canal) in the China folder last I rooted through it and it loads Suez in the correct place.

The real problem isn't the editor saving in the base folder, more that it will try to load both the base folder files and the subfolder files at once. If the subfolder file was renamed and the new file dumped in the root folder it wouldn't be an issue at all, files can be quickly moved to the correct folder.

[MichaelM]

All right, but editing existing files still shouldn't move the file out into the main folder. I'll get both of those bugs fixed.

Any takers to try it with HOI3 or Rome?

[Mammoet]

I had a quick look with an old Rome savegame, and it seems to work fine. However when I tried to load a Vicy2 some betapatch (can't remember which one exactly) savegame I got an error:

Can you increase the heap size as described in the readme and try again? If your machine is capable of running V2, you probably have enough memory to do the job if you let the program use it.

it wont load up for me, says editor.main isnt there program will exit

Try re-downloading.

[kleven316]

i re downloaded, this is what i got:

[MichaelM]

Did you run the configuration utility or edit config.txt? It sounds like it's set up to use a mod but there isn't a mod name specified.

You can see a little bit above the error message that it's trying to read the map file from (EU3 folder)\mod\map\default.map. This is obviously the wrong place; either there should be a mod name in there somewhere or else \mod shouldn't be there.

[kleven316]

i got it to play regular thing!
i like it alot
thanks

That is great news. Updating right now!

Thanks a lot

A question, if you change the owner of the province, why doesn't the political map get updated (The province is still shown as being under the old owner although when i load up the save i can see that the change did apply)?

Also when on the political map mode, when I click a province, I get the country description of the owner of the province. It would be way more user friendly if i got the province description when i do that.

Left-click on a province and it'll be updated.

Also when on the political map mode, when I click a province, I get the country description of the owner of the province. It would be way more user friendly if i got the province description when i do that.

If you are on the "Countries" map mode, and you double click on a province, it is logical you get directed to a country history file. If you left-click on the province, you can go under the map to the button that'll lead you to the province history file. Otherwise, just go to the "Provinces" map mode.

[Ton de Vid]

For me personally its more logical to be directed to the province description when I'm on the political map mode, since the only reason the be there it to switch owners and not to look at the countries. Not to mention editing the country description is an event less frequently repeated then editing the province description. I should atleast have the liberty to either chose what i want to happen once i click the province or there should be a "country map mode" and a "political map mode" to chose from.

You sure? I changed the owner of the province and clicked on it after that. The province didn't change the color on the country map.

EDIT: Any idea why the editor gets super lagy in the country map mode but works normaly in the province map mode?

As gigau said, you can just single-click on the province and then click the "Show province history" button. It's not quite as convenient as double-clicking, of course.

Under the Tools menu there is an option to reload province and country data. Normally, the data is loaded once at startup and then not after that unless a file is being edited. It would be a good idea to have the editor reload any file that is saved, though.

In province mode, all it's doing is showing an image. In country mode it has to check through the history of every province to see who the last owner is. (Religion mode is the slowest since it has to find the last religion, find the last owner, and then find the owner's last religion.)

Would it be possible to reverse the the feature? Cause i don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty sure changing the owner of the province is a process which happens more frequent then changing country data (Or atleast an option where i could modify that personally). And would it be possible to add a feature when i can change owner+control+core/religion/culture extremely fast, by simply pre selecting the country tag/culture/religion and then simply clicking on all the provinces i want changed?

If you by that mean the "force a reload of all data", when i do that the program freezes (Or atleast seems so, i certainly know nothing happens for a substantial amount of time). And nothing changes. Even i edit the save and save the changes and then reload it, the political map will stay the same, even tho i did change the owners and the game also shows that when i load up the save.
