Bring over saved games...

[SeanB]

So...I managed to get my computer to move for now, and I plan to take advantage of it. My question is though, how do I move over games from Europa Universalis 2, into Viccy? Somebody told me that I could play from Crusader Kings to Viccy, and I thought that would be cool, but I'm not sure how to transfer...

You need to use the EU2Vic-utility which converts EU2-savegames into Vicky ones.

For Crusader Kings there is a tool to import saved games over to EUII. In the case of Vicotria there is a 15 year gap between EUII ending and Victoria starting. To prevent the need for a soap opera style story line to explain the 15 year gap there is no official EUII to Victoria converter, there may be an unofficial one burried somewhere in the forum though.

Soap opera style story line?

What happened in that 15 year gap. Did our leader end up in coma? Disapear only to comeback 15 years later, die only to find out it was a dream and 15 years had actually passed?

Did everyone get.....AMNESIA?

Hrm, Oh goody, I'll bring over my game as Prussia, the US doesn't exist sadly, but Prussia owns all of western South Africa, Mexico, and the indies, so woot.

You should be happy that the USA doesn't exist, if it did, every immigrant would go there, leaving none for you.

Hardly buried; it has its own subforum.

Bah who looks at those subforums anyway.

Well, you apparently should. http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=269

Any chance we might see a modded in Byzantine Empire with events one day?

 

[OriginalRafiki]

Way back, I think someone started such a mod (at least, I think I saw an AAR for such a game), but I don't know what came of it.

Best way to bring something like that about, is to kickstart it yourself

I hope Byzantines are in play; I control the Mid east, North Africa, Upper Egypt, India, Indonesia, and Austrailia. Perhaps a part of Siberia too...

Well I've certainly seen the one I made.

Not a full blown mod, and doesn't work with VIP as it is (you can fix it so that it does), but the ground work is there. I've been working on converting it to a proper mod that works with both vanilla and VIP, but I'm short on time at the moment. Feel free to use what I've made for yourself.

Drat. I cannot use my previous empire in Vicky??? And all that time creating a Byzn. Empire that rivaled the Brits?

How do I go about creating this manually?

PS: How do I go about posting a pic on the blog?

Well that's easy. When you convert EU2 to VIC, the Byzantine Empire becomes Greece. Then all you need to do is script a simple event like so:

event = {
      id = 999999
      random = no
      country = GRE

      trigger = {
              owned = { province = 971 data = -1 }
      }

      date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1836 }
      offet = 30
      deathdate = { day = 31 month = december year = 1920 }

      name = "Byzantine Revival"
      desc = "We are the Byzantines!"

      action_a = {
               name = "Constantinople is ours!"
               command = { type = country which = XXX }
      }
}

Where XXX is, just use whichever tag you choose to mod the Byzantines into. If you're using vanilla, just take the files from my mod and use U00. If you're using VIP, you'll have to use the files I made as a base, and change things around to fit in with it.

Thanks for the advise, I will give it a try after my term paper is finished.
