A4k 2.0

Basileios II · Apr 5, 2013

Well, after almost three months of conversion I can finally present a workable verion of Aberration 4 Kasperus 2.0. It is most likely not a perfect release (see known bugs) but I guess other players maybe able to spot further bugs and oversights.

The mod features the world of Aberration, which takes place in an alternate universe if things had gone a bit different. The normal Great Powers you encounter in the vanilla Eu2 haven´t had the same luck as in normal history. Also all medium and major powers have leaders, events for the whole timeline of 1419-1819. Also, colonial events are much more flexible. There is no Treaty of Tordesillas, no "historical" expansion for powers in Europe or the rest of the World - you shape history yourself. This Scenario is designed for Single Player as well as for Multiplayer purposes.

Comments and additions are welcome!

Just extract the file into your mod-directory and enjoy.

Fixed in next release

Known bugs:

- Many shields are still in EGUFSM style
- Many nations are lacking monarchs as I just could't find their rulers.

Great job!

- Savoyard uniforms revert to lvl 1 once you rech "normal" lvl 3 sprites. How to fix this?

This happens because Savoy uses DAN sprites of which there are no vanilla equivalents which only go up to level 2 in the mod. You need to copy some L3 and L4 sprites (from MIN for example) and rename them to DAN.

Great Work! Thanks to Basileios for his conversation and Kasperus for his stunning map.

I am already playing it and will report any bugs i can find.

Edit:

Bugs found so far:

1. Looks like in two Arpitan Provinces something ist wrong with the Ariptan culture.

2. Conficianism and Hindi have noch description when i put my mouse over a province.

3. The two cultures north of the mongols, the blue and green one dont have a name.

4. Dont know if thats a mistake but is it right that the Byzantines and the other orthodox balkan cultures have arabic looking cities?

5. The ship position in the ionan sea is very funny

1. Looks like in two Arpitan Provinces something ist wrong with the Ariptan culture.

What do you mean? I can spot no errors there on first glace. Well, apart from question marks in the province names.:laugh:

2. Conficianism and Hindi have noch description when i put my mouse over a province.

Another oversight that happened when FtG changed religion's names.

3. The two cultures north of the mongols, the blue and green one dont have a name.

I'll look into it. As I haven'tchanged anything in that region it was most likely already present in Kasperus' original files.

4. Dont know if thats a mistake but is it right that the Byzantines and the other orthodox balkan cultures have arabic looking cities?

That's Yodamaster's Byzantine city set, so it's WAD.

Yep it was the province names sorry

Something else, when you click on a capital you can see in the left corner "Euroriver"

Edit: Works now, looks like i clicked before on a river.

Download doesn't work for me, my comp won't extract it, could be my comp though, it's kinda old...

EDIT: I downloaded it three times each time the file was a different size so it's my computer not downloading it. Anyway problems at my end...

By the way looks a very interesting mod.

Great job! Interesting alternative world.

Permanent crash in 1492 7 feb.

BigChef · Apr 6, 2013

I have sometimes permanent crashes after around 1490 too. But with loading and save, loading and save you can still play on.

I wasnt able to figure out why sometimes there are these crashes, any ideas?

Sad to hear that, worked for me, but still its very annoying every few years the same crash. I am around 1550 the game is running very stable except these crashes every few years.

I dont think the events are the problem its something else.

How do you think what problem could be?

Any methods are useless (change country, change name, save and load another save before 7 feb)

BigChef · Apr 6, 2013

Can you upload your save? I will try it out then.

Strange. I used to get an event-related crash around 1432, which I hopefully eliminated. That one was caused by the Treaty of Vienna event (I thinnk) in the epo_hus.txt. Apart from that crash I was able to play a 400 years Genoan game without a single CtD. Jamie's validator also gave me no error messages.

At the moment i am trying another game to test if i get the same constantly coming crashes after 1500.

I noticed that the city of Ceuta is Catholic, is that intentional?

BigChef · Apr 6, 2013

I played my second test game a teutonic order until 1480 and now i am getting again a ctd like in my first byzantine game.

Looks like we have a real problem after a specific date, but how to find the problem? Is there any log file or something else?

Basileios II · Apr 7, 2013

An oversight from Kasperus' scenario. Bur I really don't know why Ceuta should start Catholic in vanilla. Corrected.

Edit: I also forgot to add the vanilla_chi.txt to the event file.

First impressions:

Some areas become too „crowded” with navy position, city, port, COT etc. overlapping (Byzantion).
Positions seem chaotic in some places (Ionian Sea and Adriatic Sea navy positions are on land), and also a lot of ports are on top of cities.
Having annexed Kaffa (Goldern Horde government collapsed) I see there is no border shown between us (the red line).
The map looks great, of course, even though Greece seems a bit too big, and the rivers run through provinces (river crossing penalty?). I see certain borders on rivers are not shown with the red line (on the Danube for example). Is this on purpose?
Had first persistent CTD in 1481.
