Dietmar1982 said:How to use:
This is an example on how the configuration file could look.
Code:# Please list the country tags of the countries whose pops you want to be split below: # REMOVE: Write the province ID you don't want split # TYPE: aristocrats, officers, clergymen, capitalists, clerks, craftsmen, soldiers, farmers, labourers, slaves # No start and end tags in the same line # Tag: <COUNTRY REMOVE="" TYPE=""></COUNTRY> # Tag: <PROVINCE TYPE=""></PROVINCE> # Tag: GAMEDIR GAMEDIR = D:\Spil\VIP-R <COUNTRY TYPE="clerks craftsmen farmers labourers slaves"> AUS # Austria </COUNTRY> <COUNTRY REMOVE = "" TYPE="clerks craftsmen farmers labourers slaves"> ENG # United Kingdom GER # Germany </COUNTRY> <COUNTRY REMOVE = "843" TYPE="clerks craftsmen farmers labourers slaves"> ITA # Italy </COUNTRY> <COUNTRY> POR # Portugal </COUNTRY> <COUNTRY REMOVE = "451"> RUS # Russia SWE # Sweden </COUNTRY> <PROVINCE TYPE="aristocrats officers clergymen capitalists clerks craftsmen soldiers farmers labourers slaves"> 1501 </PROVINCE>
It's important to note that the configuration file is loaded when you start the program. So if you change anything in the file while running the program, it wont affect the split. You need to restart the program
The directory specified after the GAMEDIR tag, is used when the automatic POP splitting function is used. Here you specify where you have your game installed
the first tags results in all clerks, craftsmen, farmers, labourers and slaves being split in all provinces owned by Austria.
the second tag will do the same for Germany and the UK
the third one will do the same for all the Italian provinces except the one with the ID 843
fourth tag splits all types in all Portugese owned provinces
fifth tag splits all types in all Russian and swedish provinces, except the russian province with ID 451
the last province tag selects a specific province for splitting. there can be as any province ID listed here as you like.
Errors
As I had to rewrite all the code, it's possible that I've reintroduced some of the errors removed previously found in this tool.
Hopefully this is not the case, and I've tried to test it as much as I could.
So I hope you find it usefull.
Please report back if you encounter any problems, or if you have some suggestions for improvements.
Dietmar1982 said:After readning about the problems at this page, and not being able to get it to work myself.
I decided to download the source code, and try making a fix myself.
I have found the problem stopping me, and properly also those other guys at the link, from getting this to work.
The problem exists because programs written in C# and the .net framework, uses its environments formatting rules.
As Gotikiller is American (at least to my knowledge), the program was designed on a computer using the American formatting rules.
The problem is how you write numbers smaller than one.
In the US you do this with the dot like so (0.25) but in a lot of European countries its done with a comma.
When run on a Danish computer like mine, this causes the calculations in the program to go all wrong. And the output file to become corrupted. (And extremely large, if I split all POPs my save game size was 800 MB).
So I fixed this, so it now should work on all computers.
On top of this I thought I might as well, try to fix/change a couple of other things.
Below are the changes I made:
Version 4.3
- Comma issue fixed
- Fixed issue where text with nonstandard English signs in it, like Québec and Lübeck would become unreadable symbols.
- Cash is now kept by the original POP being split, (like it is in game), before it was cleared.
- All POP being split now have the same issues as the original POP.
- CFG file format is now less strict. It’s now possible to write comments in the line.
- Properly more things, but i've allready forgotten them
Finally, a big thanks to Gotikiller for creating this tool in the first place. This is still more or less the program he created. I just tweaked it a little bit.
Anyway hope you like it and please report any issues here or send me PM
