Bad Romeance Achievement doesn´t fire

[Lothlan]

Hello everyone, i´ve tried the the Bad Romeance achievment were the discruption says: Restore Byzantium and have Italy, Romania, and Russia as subjects
So i Restored Byzantium, died every terretorial expansion decision and puppeted the 3 countries in peace conferences... but no achievement is getting unlocked ;(
ive restarted the game and left my faction, but nothing happens, ive done the other greece achivement were there was no problem...
Can somebody say what i need to do or what the exact conditions are? It was real pain to puppet them all and now it was for nothing.
Thanks for an answer Lothlan

    possible = {
        is_ironman = yes
        difficulty > 1
        has_start_date < 1936.01.02
        has_any_custom_difficulty_setting = no
        game_rules_allow_achievements = yes
        original_tag = GRE
    }

    happened = {
        custom_trigger_tooltip = {
            tooltip = bad_romeance_tt
            has_cosmetic_tag = BYZ_UNIFIED
            has_subject = SOV
            has_subject = ROM
            has_subject = ITA
        }
    }

So you need to

• start as Greece with at least normal difficulty, ironman and the 1936 start date
• keep any advanced game rules that can disable achievements off
• have your country be called "Byzantium"/"Byzantine Empire"/"East-Roman Democratic Republic"/"Byzantine Commune"
• have the Soviet Union, Romania and Italy all be your subjects (i.e. puppet, satellite, or dominion etc.)

When you open the achievement list with the top right button, does it say the achievement is available?

Hey man, what was your strategy for playing Greece and taking Romania after you deal with turkey?

Yes it sais achievments are available and im called the Byzantium Empire...
the tags off russia, romania and italy are also like in the code...

Can it have something to do with the fact that my puppets are facist or Reichskommissirats ?

Ive played with unhistorical focuses, so turkey joined romanias "balkan entente" together with yugoslavia, ive joined the axis to distract the yugos.
Turkey you can defend with your navy and a few divisions and after a while of grinding i could push with mountenirs...

You need to disable the Battle for the Bospurus DLC in order to do get the achievement. Yes, really, because you don't get the BYZ_UNIFIED cosmetic tag when doing the decision in the DLC. Reason for it is this code;

GRE_set_appropriate_cosmetic_tag = {
    if = {
        limit = { has_country_flag = GRE_byz_unified_flag }
        if = {
            limit = { has_government = communism }
            set_cosmetic_tag = BYZ_UNIFIED_communism
        }
        else_if = {
            limit = { has_government = democratic }
            set_cosmetic_tag = BYZ_UNIFIED_democratic
        }
        else_if = {
            limit = { has_government = fascism }
            set_cosmetic_tag = BYZ_UNIFIED_fascism
        }
        else = {
            set_cosmetic_tag = BYZ_UNIFIED_neutrality
        }
    }

Ah. I see. Interesting.

Damn. Wasted my time going for it today . And if the reason is the decision it will most likely not even trigger in my finished game, when they finally fix that ...

Well, the code is done to set appropriate unit models, so fixing the achievement requirements with an or statement would be the best fix, so they might just fix it with a patch.

Thanks for information!!!
Does that mean i can just wait untill they fixed it and than get the achievment? is it luckly that they will fix it ?
Can you tell me how i find the code for the achievemnts so that i can evaluate them before i play?

Edit: Shoud we report the bug to paradox anywhere?

 

[Voigt]

installdir/common/achievment.txt
Sometimes you have to dig slightly deeper, of thr achievment just asks for a global flag to be set, so you need to check when this flag is set by the game.

and yeah better report that bug.

 

[Spyseand]

I already reported this one, but there are a lot of reports so who knows if it even got seen

Thank you
Were should i report something like this next time i found something?

there's a bug report section of the hoi4 forums, it should be one of the categories near the top that you can pick, and there's an example so you know how to write a report

Fired for me when i loaded the old save. Great.

Stupid question maybe but out of curiosity...does that code mean it would be possible to create a mod that allows achievements in modded games?
Or is there something hardcoded behind the scenes?

 

[bitmode]

Or is there something hardcoded behind the scenes?

There is. The original, unmodded checksum is baked into the executable. If you change any of the files matching the patterns in checksum_manifest.txt (which includes common/achievements.txt) the checksum changes and achievements will be disabled. The only way a mod can be achievement compatible is by not changing any of those checksummed files, a.k.a. cosmetic mods.

 

[Voigt]

The other exception if you edit the game in memory and switch the flag from: The game is modded, to the game is unmodded.
Since then you could install cheatmods, this is pretty much considered cheating, but you could do it.

What do you mean?

 

[Tsavong]

What do you mean?

I mean that i did everything needed for the achievement , but it did not count.
Now i downloaded the beta patch and started that old-savegame again. Then i got the achievement.
