Canal Problem Revisited

[moxs602]

I am looking to deactivate the Panama Suez and Kiel and reactivate them as well as add new canals.

Any ideas on how to go about this?

Hello moxs602!

If you go to the main DH folder, and then the map folder.. see the file adj_defs.. open it up, it is in there.

Cheers

Depends on which canals you want to add. It's a bit complicated, but I can tell you how I added the Nicaragua Canal in TBL:

1) open province_names.csv and rename one of the free provinces (for example 2760) to Lake Nicaragua. There already exists a Lake Nicaragua province, but it's a sea province and thus unusable.
2) include this file in the scenario startup:

 ############################## 
 # Country definition for REB # 
 ############################## 
  
 country = 
 {  tag                    = REB

   manpower               = 1
   # Resource Reserves 
   energy                 = 5
   metal                  = 5
   rare_materials         = 5
   oil                    = 5 
   supplies               = 5 
   money                  = 5 
   capital                = 2760 
   policy = 
   {  date              = {  year = 0 month = january day = 0  } 
     democratic        = 3 
     political_left    = 4 
     free_market       = 8 
     freedom           = 9 
     professional_army = 2 
     defense_lobby     = 1 
     interventionism   = 1 
    } 
   nationalprovinces      = {    } 
   ownedprovinces         = {  2760  } 
   controlledprovinces    = {  2760  } 

   techapps               = {  
1010
  } 
   diplomacy = 
   {  
    } 


  }

Basically, this means that at the beginning of the game partisans control this new province.

3) Open adj_defs.csv and add this line to the bottom of the file:

2344;2350;Canal;2760;# Nicaragua Canal

This will add a canal between sea provs 2344 and 2350. The canal goes through 2760, meaning the nation that controls that province controls the canal as well.

4) When the Nicaragua Canal construction event chain is finished, the nation that built it gets the following event command:

command = { type = activate_division which = 10555 value = 667 where = 2760 when = 1 }
command = { type = addcore which = 2760 }

When the event triggers, a division will be placed in the aforementioned province, bringing it under control of the nation that built the canal.

And that's it. If you want to have the canal available at the beginning of the game, you can skip the third step and just put the newly-created province under control of the nation that controls the canal area.

Hey Zokan, Thank you for clarifying the process. I had read a discussion in the E3 Map developers board. But you have summed it up nicely.
Keeping this in mind if I want to shut down the Panama and Suez I would have to have them controlled by REB nation as well. And Question - REB is a working TAG? Why is it not in world_names.csv?

 

[Lyrecryer]

That's because it is a rebel nation. Rebel Nations are not in World_names as you are not suppose to play as them.

 

[moxs602]

Ok with regard to Rebel nations. Can i create multiple Rebel nations? ie one for Panama Canal Zone 1 for Suez etc?
Or 1 Rebel Nation with multiple provinces ie Panama and Suez?

I think it would be better to create one rebel nation that owns Panama and Suez.
