Bohemian Event Scripting

[Alyosha]

Playing as France in the GC I noticied that Bohemia held the crown of the HRE under the regent Rozmberk. I'm not too familiar with the Bohemian events, so I paid little attention to said regent. However, as the years passed and my monarchs died and were replaced, I noticied Rozmberk continued to reign. I thought, "Gee, this guy has some stamina." Out of curiousity I checked the save file to look at Bohemia's monarchtable. Sure enough, Rozmberk wouldn't be followed by another moanrch until Ferdinand II, in 1526, giving him a reign of 69 years! Wow, that rivals Louis XIV.

After further examination into the vents files, I found out the Rozmberk is the B choice in Bohemia's event 129040. I guess the A option either cedes Bohemia to Austria or possibly Hungary (I didn't check the rest of the sequence). However, I browsed lower in the vent file and noticied this:

[COLOR=Lime]}[/COLOR]
#The Letter of Peace 
#BAY doesn't exists
event = {
      id = 129025
      trigger = { event = 129003  #Albrecht has become King of Bohemia
                  NOT = { exists = BAY } }
      random = no
      country = BOH
      name = "The Letter of Peace"
      desc = "EVENTHIST129025"
       style = 1

If I'm not mistaken, the offending } bodering the next event (without a paragraph in between) will screw up not only the next event but the preceeding event as well, causing them not to fire. Unfortunately this situation persists at least another few events, which I guess relate to monarchs who would rule instead of Rozmberk. Of course, I'm not positivve, but my delving into the events gives me this hunch.

Sorry for the long lead-in.

P.S. Just before I sent this I also noticed that the description "#The Letter of Peace" is also missing the # after 'Peace'. This may also be hampering the events, as I belive you have to surround the name. This also persists. Please let me know if these events have been slept intentionally.

Well its not this, only aesthetics drives people to put '#' after as well. The one in front comments out the whole line.

The lacking of an empty line between the bracket and the next line is not a problem. Spaces, tabulators, return, linefeed, whatever are normally ignored by code reading programs. The whole text could be compressed into 1 single line. The format of the text serves only the visual appearance to make the text easier readable by human readers. This format is an unvoiced convention among developers, and everybody is free to follow it or make changes. And if you check code of different people, you will notice that they have at least slightly different styles.

The program ingores these formats and treats all as 1 line. There is only this exemption with an eventuel remark command, in this case the '#', which tells the program to ignore the following text for this line and resume with the next line.

I can only think that the problem lies in the dates of the reign of the czech monarch. Probably someone has been missed.

Well, if there is no problem, at least I gained a little education on coding. Thanks.

Having a look at it, Oldrich z Rozmberka (Regent) should rule until Oct 27 1453, at which point Ladislav Pohrobek takes the reigns until 23 November 1457. His startdate is the 28th - maybe that's the problem?

In 1457 event 129040 should fire, with choice A getting BOH inherited by the Habsburgs.

 

[Garbon]

If there are gaps in a monarch file, the current monarch reigns until the startdate of the next monarch.

Yeah, but do you put the deathdate the day before the next guy starts or the same day? It's only a problem when you're using specific dates, but kinda significant

I've noticed other problems with bohemian monarchs in AGCEEP Bohemia and Hungary Thread post 243 and following, but I don't know if Twoflower did (had time to do) something for them.
Maybe this discussion could go in this thread too.

That should not be a problem. When a monarch starts, it kicks the previous one to kingdom kong. You won't notice as deathdates are not reported. In fact I don't think that deathdates are used in monarchs, as nothing happens when they are reached.

a little OT:
who made those crazy names for bohemian fantasy monarchs???

Indeed, its almost as if they are just there for kicks / people who read the monarch files.
