Quick modding questions

How do I turn a province into PTI? Those provinces that are already PTI simply have nothing in their province files, but when I delete the information in the desired province file it only turns into a colonisable province with no culture, religion, natives etc.

This is controlled by the map\climate.txt file - provinces in the impassible climate section are set as wastelands in game.

Make sure you only have the province in the file once. Don't have it in both impassible and another climate type. You then also need to edit the actual province history file to add or remove the standard stuff. You also should edit map\regions.txt to remove wastelands from any regions, and the same for common\natives.txt. You can leave in continents.txt

Tyvm, very helpful

How do I even create a mod? I create a map folder (filled with (hopefully) correct txt files) inside the mod folder but the mod doesn't show up in my Eu3 launcher. (ps, I'm talking about dw)

Do you have a mod file? Like XXXX.mod?

No, how do I get one?

Just make one with a text editor. Here's mine for RM:

name = "Rex Maris DW"
extend = "common"
extend = "decisions"
extend = "events"
extend = "history"
extend = "localisation"
#extend = "map"
replace = "map"
extend = "missions"
extend = "interface"
extend = "gfx"
#replace = "sound"

And here is another:

name = "SRI - Sacra Romanum Imperium for EUIII DW 5.1 (9/30/2011)"
extend = "common"
extend = "decisions"
extend = "events"
extend = "history"
extend = "localisation"
#extend = "map"
replace = "map"
extend = "missions"
extend = "interface"
extend = "gfx"
#replace = "sound"

"extend" means that the files you put in your mod's subfolders will be used in place of the same files in vanilla; "replace" means that the vanilla folder of the same name will be ignored, and ONLY the ones in your folder will be used. Just name it XXX.MOD.

I cannot remember, if I ever knew, what these lines, in defines, mean:

	1.7	#_EDEF_OPEN_SEA_MODIFIER_
	0.7	#_EDEF_COASTAL_MODIFIER_

Anyone know?

One other question, is the a list anywhere, telling which mods have different maps from vanilla, and which ones share a common map?

Thank you so much! Here, have my internets!

The Master Mod list has my mod OOT listed with a "MAP" next to it, probably indicating the changed map

DAO, MPM, MEIOU and Oriental Mod all have the "MAP" listing, too.

Terra Nova has a lot of changes to the map. Also WWM.

Does any of them make Hormuz an island?

[MrTaxman]

I didn't. That's all I can say for sure.

[17blue17]

Terra Nova has it as an Island.

Mind if I ask why you're looking for Hormuz as an island?

Because it was. No way Albuquerque could've taken it so easily had it been mainland.

On my 1st question, doesn't anyone know what those lines mean?

[William Shakens]

I've been constructing a custom 1399 scenario, modding the countries and provinces history files (credits to Clausewitz' Scenario Editor) and alliances too. This is actually the first "modding" whatsoever I've tried, and it has worked just fine for the most part.

Yet, there's a couple of things I'd like to change too, that seem to need some further modding, beyond the history files.

First and foremost, I'd need to determine who was HREmperor at the moment, and who the voters were.

Second, an old wish of mine, although it looks more of a challenge to me: to have ports added to the Caspian sea coastal provinces, and an actual use of the sea for navigation if possible.

Thanks in advance.

[ANO1453]

Yes it was. And there were more islands in the region that Portugal attempted to take, but those British... (they allied with Persia to remove Portugal from Ormuz).

Oriental mod has it as an island and even a tag

It hasn't got Diu as an island though.

Anyone know whats wrong with this decision? It caused a cdt every time I enact it? I've tried looking for ages and although its probably a minor mistake I'm not able to find it.
