Hello,

Very nice idea, also this tool has been released, I think to the Utility section: Portrait Builder

Any chance of adding the Map Modding thread? That seems to be where questions and experiment congregate, and it'd cut down on stray map threads.

I bet IT will be quite successful on this thread, am I right ?

Does this work for CK2? The format of positions.txt is way different.

I didn't try it out but MichaelM states that it SHOULD works for every Clausewitz game.

Yeah, it works with CK2, except for those things like manufactory that we don't have in this game but was in EU3.

It needs an additional file for the format though, doesn't it? Or does it work out of the box?

 

[RedRooster81]

I've used it as is. You can create a file as the readme directs so that your ck2 map will open by default. You can click on a province in the tool to see positions, etc. Rather useful IMHO.

How about the Events-thread by Fawr?
Seems to be the best ressource regarding triggers, scopes and basic syntax.

I just realised the old tutorial I wrote isn't listed :ninja:
Some of the screenshots are gone now but it's still a relevant resource
