Auvergne leaders

[birch23]

I've started to "fill out" the monarch listings for Auvergne and Duchy of Athens.Auvergne is quite easy there are a lot of possible pretenders.Duchy of Athens fascinating story.but I kind of guess most will needed to be made up...:-/

However that is not question.Auvergne has a lot of very good leaders through history which should be added to the leaders file,BUT there are no Auvergne leader file to work from so how do I create a such and incorporate that in the GC scearios a.o?

Just create a leaders.auv file in db\leaders. You may need to start a new game for it to be read.

gee..can it be that simple...

AFAIK, it is indeed that simple.

I've run into a minor problem,when creating the leader files for Auvergne,I read somewhere that "new" leaders should have a number over 20000 (I think) attached to their ID,but then it suddenly struck me,that there must be several other extra leaders attached in the files by somebody else,so the question is how do I make certain that the ID no.I attach isn't in use so to speak(yes I know I can go through the whole leader files,but there has to be an easier way)

Slightly easier is to start a game without the new monarchs, save it immediately and then open the savegame file in wordpad and use Find to see if the number you want to use is in use.

No leaders should have ID over 20000!

I guess Lambert Simnel's method is the easiest. Oh, how nice it would be to have something similar to the EU1 validator for EU2...

Guess I should learn to read...

Actually I read that from your site...meaning I thought I read that.....after looking again I can see that the leader tags should be between 15001 and 19999...OOOPS....Simnels option seems to be the easiest....Thanks

Really! oo-er
I have leaders with tags 20001-17, 20049-61, 29972-76 and 32008.

There appears to be no problem with the game. Is there any particular reason why there should be no leaders with tags over 20000?

It might cause crashes. If you never have crashes it's ok, if you do have occational crashes, moving the ids below 20000 might help...

Oh I see, I will change them just in case.

While on the subject is there a cap for monarch ids and event ids? may have to adjust those as well.

Monarch ids: same as leaders
event ids: some 4 billions...

Game no longer crashes at score screen after quitting.
