APRIL'S FOOL thread / old VIET+ thread

[ScipionMinos]

Hello Heatth,

I use ck2+ and your mod up until the new dlc patch, I am very haapy to find out that you are making a "patch" as I tried to use the old version and I had a glitch on the protrait of evey person in game.

Could you be more precise regarding what mod to download (cpr+? and ?), what as to do cpr+/hip with ck2+ when u say to copy every file and folder? finaly do I have to check the cpr mod in the ck2 lauch box ?

Sorry to bother you with these poor questions, it is a bit confusing for me this settings.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

By "both mods" I meant CK2+ and CPR+. CPR+ can be downloaded both with Steam Workshop or along side the whole Historical Immersion Project (here latest link). If you download the whole HIP, you need to make sure to install only CPR. If you download through Steam you need to unzip the file.

What you do then is to copy every file and folder from CPR into CK2+ except the ones I listed (and replace if asked). What you can do is to first remove the forbidden files from the CPR folder and then just merge everything.

Finally, no, you don't check the CPR mod in the launcher. You don't even need CPR installed at this point. My instructions are to directly modify the CK2+ mod itself, so that is the only thing that need to be checked.

Btw, CPR+ have been updated since my compatch. It is a minor update, but I will update my files and repost them this weekend. Probably try to make the instructions clearer as well.

PS:Edited my previous post with updated instructions and files.

Thank you very much Heatth,

It is much clearer now, I did evrything you said and that was perfect. Thanks a lot

Great, once again a helpful soul has been found to fill in for me

Thx a lot Heatth

By the way, rest assured that I have not "disappeared without a trace", but rather "gone into hiding" (not "closed the gates", that doesn't seem to fit).
I really kinda lost interest in CK2+ when the lag got worse over time, but with the latest speed improvements I feel the game is playable again.
So I found hope, and even though I am not yet returning to take over, I am playing around with some files and eventually will ^^

I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm except for one tiny problem: saint background appears for random characters.

Other than that, it works fine and tbh, I'd rather play with these excellent portraits than with vanilla ones, even with this issue.

Thank you so much Heath! I beg that you continue to release this compatibility fix! Thank you!

 

[Baldamundo]

Can't get Heath's version to work (or the one in the OP for that matter - checked just to make sure). Am getting a crash as soon as it tries to load the world pre character selection

Okay I currently don't have time for support, but I made a new version (attached), try if this works.
It's updated with the new German cultures and some other stuff, and is up to date with the Steam version of CPRplus (HIP version is a little more up to date, so I dunno if the submod willl work with it).

Known bugs:
-Blinded characters get funny looking blindfolds (at least for me).
Temporary solution: Copy "blinded_eyes.dds" from the CPRplus archive into the corresponding submod folder (next to "backgrounds.dds"). That seems to slove it for me, though I am not entierly sure why ^^
-Crusader helmets very rarely get applied to wrong characters. Dunno why yet, but it's only in a few cases.

 

[LordPeter]

A very strange peek at things to come:

(This is 769 AD btw, and just for illustration - it won't look like this when it's finished)
If anyone wants to guess, good luck

Hopefully the new year will get me to release something new at some point...

Edit: Oh and CPRplus+ will be updated only when there are some significant changes, I am busy with other stuff currently.

Okay, finished my compatch. Files attached. Here the instructions:

1. Download both the latest version of CK2+ and CPR+
   • You can download CPR+ either through workshop or through HIP
   • If download through HIP, make sure of only installing CPR+
2. Remove the following files from your CPR+ folder (folder may be called "Historical Immersion Project")
   • gfx\characters\shared\backgrounds.dds
   • common\religious_titles\00_religious_titles.txt
   • common\cultures\z_CPR_cultures.txt
3. Copy every file from CPR+ folder into CK2Plus folder
   • Make sure to merge folders if asked.
     
   • Make sure to replace files if asked.
4. Extract my file into the CK2Plus folder
   • Make sure to replace files if asked
5. Start game. On Launcher, only check the CK2Plus mod.
   • Other compatible submods may be checked as well, like the India module.
   • Submods that alter culture and/or portraits are not compatible (including CPR itself, you don't need it anymore).

I'm sorry you're breakdown was very confusing. For Step 2, when you say remove, you mean delete backgrounds.dds, 00_religious_titles.txt, and z_CPR_cultures.txt right? Thats the first confusion b/c if thats so then why are they there?

Once thats done theres just blank folders that will lead to no files. But you say to copy them into the CK2Plus folder so I take the gfx, common, and interface folders and copy and paste them into the CK2Plus folder.

But then theres the part where you say "Extract my file"..how is that--isn't that I would have just done with the copy and paste? Or is there another file you didn't specify?

I am not sure if Heatth is still around to answer, but I would personally advise against using his version now.
The one I attached just 2 posts above is more up to date (includes the new German cultures in CK2Plus), and should work fine.

Btw, welcome to the forums

 

[abechoi1993]

Please let me know if there are any updates to this submod!

Hi, welcome to the forums, and I'm glad to see there is still interest in this

I consider the version a few posts up (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/sub-mod-viet.802186/page-14#post-22027120) to still be working.
It has some known issues like random backgrounds for dead characters which will be fixed at some point.
However, I'm afraid I will be waiting on CPRPlus (the main mod, for which this is a compatch) to release a new major version, so that there is some new stuff worth updating. That will probably happen around the time when the new Portrait pack is released together with the M&M DLC.
Until then, I'm afraid you'll have to use the working version, and overlook the visual glitches

I am also working on some... other stuff... currently, which is now taking shape. It will take some more time though (real life demands its share of my freetime ^^), so stay tuned

 

[maxliu]

Is this mod still being worked on since the release of Monks & Mystics?

Always good to hear there's interest ^^
Yeah, sort of.
It's no use to update while both CK2Plus and CPRplus are currently undergoing such intense development. Once CK2Plus is out of beta and portraits are adjusted, I'll start updating.
I actually have some ideas for new stuff now that we have new portrait scripting options. But I'll have to toy around with them and see if and how they work. And since I'm sadly actually really bad with any graphical stuff, I'll probably throw out another quick fix before working on adding anything.
And then there's my second project, which is taking more time than I thought. Well, stay tuned, it can't be that long anymore now...

Can't Wait to see what this "Project" of Your's is

 

[LordPeter]

Can't Wait to see what this "Project" of Your's is

Hehe yeah I tease (don't get your hopes up too high though - I'm not as skilled as the main mod devs)
At least the variable issues are fixed now, so I can properly test...

 

[cinephile]

Eagerly awaiting all your releases And honestly just getting stuff like CK2+ and CPR working together is a huge contribution

This doing god's work. Keep it up and look forward to seeing more.

 

[Professor Crate]

CPRplus is a great mod. Can't wait until it's updated for CK2+. Keep up the good work!
