Does the Fading Sun event still work?

TremblingBlue · Apr 14, 2014

I've had a great 1933 campaign as the Republic of China, Pushing the Japanese out of Korea by mid 1938 and destroying most of their land force.

It was all going so well until I finally admitted to myself in 1941 that this event is never going to fire. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it the 1933 scenario or a factor unknown to me?

Julius Clonkus · Apr 14, 2014

If I recall correctly, it's now a decision you need to fire. The chances are quite slim, but are you sure there's not some Japanese presence in a really, really obscure Chinese mainland province?

Limith · Apr 14, 2014

There's a bug in the event, I posted a fix in multiple past threads, use the search feature please.

The bug is with a missing or = { } section for checking the country.

TremblingBlue · Apr 14, 2014

Sorry Limith, I haven't been here for a while...I did do a search but didn't have much luck.

I'll have a look at the event again.

DarthJF · Apr 20, 2014

I found this post.

Copied the code mentioned there. I wonder if this is correct:

Code:

event = {
	id = 2012004
	random = no
	tag = { CHI CHC }

	name = "EVT_3823_NAME"
	desc = "EVT_3823_DESC"
	style = 2
	picture = "news_paper"

    
	or = {
    		and = {
			country = CHI
			war = { country = CHI country = JAP }
			region = { region = "China" country = CHI value = 55 }
		}
		and = {
			country = CHC
			war = { country = CHC country = JAP }
			region = { region = "China" country = CHC value = 55 }
		}
}

i had to do an acceptall cheat with japan demanding korea for them to finally peace me. yep, it sucked. it was either that or manually go trigger the event, and i was just too lazy to do so.

Here's the latest version, also includes a fix for Korea in some occasions. Make sure to replace event 2012005 as well (included 2 events below).

It appears the second Chinese event (2012005) doesn't trigger. I can't see anything wrong with the Japan event itself. It only has 2 ecommands

Limith · Apr 23, 2014

It won't trigger if none of the commands are valid, which is entirely possible given every command has a trigger to it. It shouldn't be a problem if the second event doesn't trigger since it's just a helper event designed to make sure events occur in the right order. If you really wanted to test it, add a blank command = { } to the end of the action in the event not triggering

I believe the main issue is in Japan's response...there's a lot missing. Either way I've broken the Japanese event and the game crashes when I load up now.

This is the very best I can do. It's Nationalist China centric at the moment as Communist China has relatively little chance of doing anything in the current version. The main issue is the Flags - they would not activate and it crippled the events. I also changed a few things like removed the Japanese cores on Taiwan and increased its dissent hit (considering they've lost their empire...). China now releases Korea in its "hurrah" event, and has its dissent decrease then.

Of course this will probably not be appropriate for 1.5, but it's solid and works with the current version.

It should work, the version I posted, someone else in the dev team had it fire which is why I made the fix for Korea. I guess I shall test again sometime.

TremblingBlue · Apr 25, 2014

The first events for China and Japan fired, but with only partial effect. What happened was Japan transferred Taiwan (keeping the cores), had a non aggression pact with CHI and CHC, but was still at war while Korea was occupied by China, who didn't liberate them. I didn't see any commands for peace in the events, which I had to add. Once I did though, the peace resulted in Japan keeping Korea...so I simplified it.

Apart from a few missing commands, I just modified or removed the kmt_fs and ccp_fs flags and it seemed to work fine. In fact, a lot of what I changed in terms of what happens in each event was probably unnecessary for that reason.

Ah, I found the reason, the dev version of the game has new leave_alliance and peace options, so that's why it doesn't work. The Japan event I gave you basically has:
-Leave alliance and peace out (so JAP gets back control of KOR)
-Some domestic stuff
-Secede all CHI territory to CHI or CHC
-Some core/claim stuff
-Release KOR or PRK (since controlled by JAP)
-Remove puppeting of KOR and PRK if it is JAP puppet
-Tell CHI to puppet KOR or PRK if it used to be under JAP control by firing the next event.

For 1.03, just take the trigger section for the FIRST CHI event I posted and replace the old trigger section of 1.03 vanilla and you should be fine, there was no *general* problems with the rest of the events (besides KOR/PRK erroneously being made a CHI/CHC puppet if it was controlled by SOV or USA, which was the fix I made)

TremblingBlue · Apr 26, 2014

Ah, okay! Well, I'm quite terrible at game mechanics as it is...so forgive my judgements.

I'll try it out. Thanks! Need to get my hands on the vanilla events again...I stupidly didn't save copies.
