A superior converter

[unmerged(45086)]

Yeah, but I didn't understand a single thing of it... LIke I said, I'm a total, complete and utter noob when it comes to these sort of things.

EDIT: when I get to step 5, I do get a new command line, but it also open a text document, so when I close it and go on, and open the converter.class file with the prompt, a box shows up that windows doesn't recognize this type of programme

Yeah, but I didn't understand a single thing of it... LIke I said, I'm a total, complete and utter noob when it comes to these sort of things.

I'm a big computer noob myself. Do like me : print the post and make one step at a time, and put a big pencil mark after you've done it.

1/ You have two java links... download and install both on your computer (each time, chose the version for windows offline).

2/ Make sure the converter is installed and note the path (fot example C:\Program Files\Converter, where "Converter" is the name of the folder in which you put the converter)

3/ In the Start menu, click on "run", type "cmd" and press "enter".
You should have a new black window with :

Microsoft Windows XP [version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Gilles>

type "echo %path%". If all is correct, you should get :

Microsoft Windows XP [version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Gilles>echo %path%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_07\bin

C:\Documents and Settings\Gilles>

If you don't get the line "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_07\bin" but something else... then close the cmd window, and go in
> start menu
> control panel
> system
> advanced
> environment variables

Among the variables, you should see "Path". Highlight it and click on "Edit".
Type "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_07\bin".
Restart the command prompt window (you must have closed the previous one). And reverify with the command "echo %path%".

4/ Lead the command prompt to your converter file. That means that you must tell him where to find it. If the folder is in c:\Program Files\Converter, in the command prompt, type "cd c:\program files\converter".
Example :

Microsoft Windows XP [version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Gilles>cd c:\program files\converter

C:\Program Files\Converter>

type the following line : "javac -cp . *.java". Like in the example, you should just get a new command line :

C:\Program Files\Converter>javac -cp . *.java

C:\Program Files\Converter>

If this is what you get, then your converter is ready to go.
Each time, you will use the converter, start a command prompt window. Lead the prompt to your converter folder. And type the following kind of command line :

java -cp . Converter [ck save filename] [eu2 scenario filename].

If you want it to select the save game in the CK save folder and to put the converted game in the EU2 scenario folder, type a line like this :

[code
java -cp . Converter "c:\Crusader_Kings\scenarios\save games\Duchy of Apulia_1292_June_8.eug" "c:\Europa_Universalis_2\Scenarios\Apulia-1292-test.eug"
[/code]

Hope this help....

Why does it have to be sooo complicating? And what is that with the not reconising of that javac thingy?

Ok, go back a step. You are following the instructions for people who want to modify the converter; that's not necessary, you just want to run it, right? Now, it seems that you've fixed the problem with your PATH variable. So check that you have a file called "Converter.class" in your directory. If you don't, dl the zip from here. Now try 'java Converter myEuSave.eug'. Note that java is case-sensitive, you need to have a capital 'C' in converter.

 

[unmerged(45086)]

I still can't get it to work though...
If I try it with the 10 steps I get the 7 errors again, I redownloaded the thing, and if I try it with just this (below) it won't work either.

Edit; I'm sorry if I'm getting on someone's nerves, and I really appreciate all the help

 

[King of Men]

Ok, do this : While you're in your 'Converter_src" directory, type 'dir' and copy-paste the output to here. Incidentally, if your filename is Kingdom of Ireland, it should probably be in quotes like this "Kingdom of Ireland.eug", and you definitely need the .eug at the end. In fact, just type King and then hit TAB, Windows will fill in the rest for you.

I can do that one until the Javac -cp thingy, then I get the errors, just so you know..

Ah, I do believe I know the problem, it's the classpath. Try

java -cp . Converter "King Of Ireland.eug"

and see what happens.

Um. That should never happen, as the saying goes. I'm going to have to check the code to see what's going on there; I'll get right on it as soon as I'm home from work.

Greetings KoM,
I got an extra problem for you.... i get this type of answer :

        at Converter.main(Converter.java:271)

E:\ParadoxUtilitaires\CK-EU2 converter>

If i'm not mistaken, that means that the converter doesn't manage to decide who to give the CK province Árta. It is owned by Byzantium. But it's true i think that the provinces around are owned by different nations.

How can i solve this ? Maybe by changing a little the "weight" of the CK provinces in the EU2 province ? If yes, which file should i edit and how ?

Thanks in advance

 

[King of Men]

Ok, in reverse order : gigau, you are almost right, the problem is that whatever CK country owns Arta doesn't have an EU country assigned to it. Of course, that should never happen! I would need to have the savegame to debug this properly; can you send it to me at skalgamalt (at) hotmail (dot) com?

Frosties, I seem to have edited my code since I uploaded the version you are using. That means I'm not sure where the error occurs - going by the line number, it would be in the middle of a long comment, which is not possible. So there are two options : One, download this new version and run that, and copy-paste the output as before. Two, and probably better, send me the save file - troubleshooting is difficult over the Internet anyway.

Curses, I though I'd gotten the last bugs out of this.

I think that your problem might be that you didn't give any destination file....

Try again with :

java -cp . Converter "Kingdom of Ireland.eug" "convertedIreland.eug"

*Gasp* I think it worked! Hold on let me try it in EU2...

It worked!
