A humble request

[niallmcfc]

O Paradox devs, blessed art thou and hallowed be thy name, I come as a humble member of the community to ask a simple favour of you.

My request is thus: Might you endow upon the modders of the forums the ability to make 'invisible' events? For not all events need be brought to the attention of the player, some must remain in the background.


Plain English: Could you please add an invisible attribute to events, so that there is no popup but the event still fires?

 

[LemonMonk]

I can see it being useful for things like 'Trading in Slaves' that comes up now and then.. but I still quite like it popping up. Maybe if your idea could be enabled/disabled in the options, then I'd be in favour.

I for one do not like things happening to me that I can't find. Who knows what you're doing? Oh no, -90% morale event, but I can't see it! Then my army goes into theirs, oh no! Damned trickery of the modders!

But I'm sure you have better ideas for this sort of thing than I do.

 

[lord_hur]

They have that in CK2, and it's indeed very handy for modding...

 

[SirKulinski]

I probably foresee this for all kinds of background calculations for trade and what not, it would be nice because usually (unless you are a trade guy and numbers guy) don't really care for the events that modify them.

Which indeed would be nice, to keep events contained.

You think so little of me! It's just for changing province names. Don't think people want to be spammed by these events...

But.. But.. It could happen!

Anyway, something like province names changing I'd actually rather see them the first time and maybe just change a yes / no in the files to not have it pop-up after it's fanciness wears out.

'twould seem my call has gone unheeded.

Oh well, guess tahiti's going to be getting a lot of event spam :happy:

 

[Felicity]

Advisor, what are these stacks of letters on my tea table?

Sire, we have just changed the names of a bunch of provinces and we need your approval!

Damned natives, how dare they not use our names to begin with! This is an outrage! Prepare my ship!

 

[Zhetone]

Is it possible to make events happen for rebels or even the observer tag if such a thing exists rather than Tahiti?
People might want to play as them!

People want to observe as well, and it's generally because Tahiti was an unconquerable and useless nation in original D&T.

Although... the rebel tag. Might be worth trying out. It does exist, but I have a feeling you're not allowed to send events to a landless country.
