Republic of Louisiana

Shrine Guard

I also live in New Orleans and I am working on a mod where Louisiana creates its own republic in 1860 instead of joining the anti-tariff confederacy. I would love to collaborate I have pop files modified with Cajuns (franco_canadians) and Frenchmen so that might also interest you.

I am having trouble selecting Louisina as a playable country, I will go back and try some of the things I have learned on this thread.

Merci!

New Parties For New Nations

Ok..I just made a country, so how do I make a party file for it? I tried going into the Party Editor, just going into a random nation, deleting all parties, creaing them, etc, but saving it as u01_party.csv but that didn't work. and when I just go to file, and click new, none of the countries I just made are listed. I'm confused...

anyone?

Have you tried calling it "U01_party.csv" instead? I'm not really familiar with the Party Editor, but it's quite simple to manually edit the files as well, using Notepad or Wordpad or something samilar.

I copied over the UCA file for my new nation, and it works... I think... My nation gets the same two parties as the sucessor states to the UCA at least.

Is there any db of unused party numbers... apologies if I'm being dim and just can't see it.

Hi.

I don't wanna sound like a geek, but I got the game recently and immidiatly edited it to include Eusakdi (the Basque lands) as a possible satelite to Spain, using the tag U00.

I've also made some flags and shields using the goodies on the CD, but I have a few queries which I'm hoping to clear up with you guys...

i) Will my flag/shield change with a revolution, for instance from 'U00.bmp' to 'U00monarch.bmp' - I've seen this happen with spain, but I'm not sure if its an event or something with is built in as every nation, as each has the four flags/shields.

[If anybody is interested, I have the standard Basque flag (I am right in calling it the Iruna?) as 'U00', the flag of Navarra as 'U00monarch' and a yellow map of the Basque lands on red for 'U00commie']

ii) Into which part of 'revolt.txt' (or whatever its called) should I add Pau if I want Spain to be able to release Euskadi as a satelilte, but for it to have claims on this province.

iii) If I wish to edit a save file to remove satelite status for the released nation, where would I find this?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Don't worry i started modding Victoria after my first 10 years, so you have nothing to worry about

i think you'll find the answer here

Add the new country into the end of revolt.txt. NB! Don't use TAG PAU, but instead an empty TAG UXX .

iii) If I wish to edit a save file to remove satelite status for the released nation, where would I find this?

You'll find the sattelite status at the beginning of savegame:
starting with string - globaldata = { , and under that are all the treaties listed in game.

Alliances/wars are but satellites/dominions are not.

To change that you need to find the countrys secions, ie. where it starts

country = {
tag = U00

and it should have a field like

satellite = "ENG"

Just remove that and it becomes free.

I'm really Sorry!! Sorry!

I was playing as Russia in the GC when all of a sudden I decided to release lots of satellites and dominions. I released the Baltic’s and Ukraine, the central Asian countries, Poland, even Crimea! I was feeling quite democratic until I saw there was a sort of bump protruding from Russia where Belarus (Byelorussia) should be. I couldn’t create it so I thought I would put my modding skills to the test (with previous exp taken from EU1&2 and HOI) but I just can't do it! I've tried checking threads to see if that would spare some insight but it hasn’t been very helpful. So now I come to ask: 'Can somebody please give me a simple step by step in creating Belarus?’ Pretty Please And if I've overlooked a helpful website direct it to me.

Thank you Fans :wacko:

Just merged half a dozen threads of essentially the same topic, all of which were at the first page of threads.

PEOPLE, READ THROUGH SOME OF THE THREADS AND USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION BEFORE OPENING A NEW THREAD. THAT WAY DISCUSSIONS ARE KEPT MORE FOCUSED AND EASIER TO ACCESS BY NEWCOMERS

btw. if somebody feels like writing one, a good step-by-step guide of modding a new nation deserves a sticky.

As soon as I have a little time, I will write my experience with VIP. If no one comes with anything by thursday, I will post mine.

It is quite simple.

Hey, I did it!! I'm feeling damn pleased. I just realised all about them tags (e.g, UO1) and it all fell into place. Back to Vik.
