I found a rather funny bug yesterday when playing as Finland during the Russian civilwar.
I joined the war in 1920 on the side of the white forces and quickly occupied Northern Russia with my 3 divisions. Poland was at war with the Soviets too and it had advanced pretty far. Anyway, the game must have thought that Finland was one of the actual "white-nations" like archangelsk union or the others and an event show'd up giving me around ten 1987 infantry divisions.

So Burning, I was integrating CCIP events into AAR, and I realized that if I were to revamp the tech team/ministers/leaders, it would mess with vanilla 1936 (if I redid the files from scratch). Am I supposed to be sleeping ministers/tech teams/leaders in the scenario and then just tacking on new minister/tech/leaders with different ids in the files instead?
That didn't help. All I got was the upper left corner was slightly darkened. In the lower left corner of the darkened area there was a tiny pink square that blinked rapidly. It didn't show up when I did the screen capture. Hopefully the image is attached. This is my first attempt at adding an image to a post. That was not intuitive to do.
That wasn't what I was expecting, but it worked. I probably should have previewed the post before submitting it. Oh well.

Techteams/Leaders/Ministers: go ahead, the database files of aar lack many of those, so, if you want to add them, go ahead. Waking/Sleeping them is only important, if eg: a minister was murdered, expelled, ... Please make sure to have (at least semi) historical deathdates for them, so they don't mess too much during WW2.
keep it up!
Limith, I've emailed you the work I had done on China. Not 100% but I am really busy with uni and a PhD proposal I am working on right now, so i thought it best to send you what I had done. Hope it's up to scratch.

Burning, I think some fun ideas for this mod would be:
Communist and Fascist revolution paths available for the European powers, America, and maybe smaller powers like Brazil or Argentina or the Ottomans if they survive the Armistice. Also possibly a Capitalist and Fascist path for Russia along with Communist.
I'd be happy to help with ideas for the event paths and research for them, but I don't know how to code the events. If you or someone or a web page could teach me how I could try to do it.
Also, I'm playing a game using the AAR, and the ending date is 1942 for me. I don't know if that is intentional or a bug or what... Just so you know.

Thanks a bunch! It's better than what I had in mind actually, thanks for splitting the ministers among the different factions for me. Saves a ton of work.
Oh, ideas there are, just not time to implement them all
.So, if you are keen on learning about hoi2 modding, there is a great thread called modding howto. You might want to check out the hoi2 wiki at the paradoxian, it's outdated, but the basics for modding still are the same. There are a lot of additional supportive documents in your darkest hour directory, specifically in "<gamepath>/modding documentation", including a complete reference for the structure of an event, and (almost) all commands and event triggers. In the end, take a look at the events that are already there.
I take it you are very busy Burning?
Might have another intermediate AAR-CCIP release mid-February. I integrated CCIP into AAR fully though, so it isn't a separate fork anymore.
As a fyi, I might need to modify a vanilla event (add 21 demands relevancy) burning (making it a prereq for Japanese Ultimatum on Germany). It was either that or modifying Versailles peace event (which would be a pain to do). I dunno...would be good if you had any ideas on how to make the decision essentially mandatory for a human player (ai will always push for it).
Idea is if Japan doesn't push for 21 demands (which adds claims on Qingdao and Shangdong area), then T. Entente wouldn't support giving the territory to them in Versailles.

You;ve either selected '28 years' as the scenario length instead of 'use scenario data', or you're playing the wrong scenario. AAR proper goes through to 1964.
Hey Sargeras!
I just noticed, I couldn't send PMs for some reason -.-'. How are you progressing? I'm thinking of getting into event writing, so if you have some easy events, you could send it to me, and I would try to write it.

Hey, Sargeras is almost finished with the events, and is currently debugging them.
So, if you want to try your hands on some event scripting, tell me what nation you would like to start with(i suggest a nation such as portugal, denmark, Turkey, Persia, ... ). I'll support you if you have questions or need advice on how to do things. Just contact me via one of the IMs in my signature.
I was helping Sargeras with the Central European socialist revolutions, but he was writing the events alone, and I was only sending him the historical sketch about that (I'm Hungarian, so I have a deeper resource about the Hungarian revolution). If it goes right, I could write some more events for you .
.
Hungary right now is playable. Of course the events are "infants" and so I'll need to balance them. For example the amount of Red Guards and Lenin boys.
I noticed that some things were off in the AAR 1914-1964. Countries not having ministers, Wilhelm II in charge of Weimar, Hitler not taking office, Woodrow Wilson perpetual president, etc.
Theres also no tech teams for the White Russian Revolters.

These are all known errors, Burning is constantly hard at work to improve AAR but he can only do so much by himself, so help the poor man if you can to fix those smaller easier to fix errors
