Changing Bishopric into playable County

[postm00v]

Well the title explains it pretty much, I want to change a Bishopric into a County.

How on earth do I do this ?

Find the tag of the bishopric you want to play and then change the bold part of the code in the XXXX_scenario_countries.inc:

country = {
	tag = CXXX
	form_of_goverment = [B]ecclestical -> feudal[/B]
	capital = XXX

	ruler = {
		startdate = { year = 1066 month = january day = 1 }
		character = { type = 10 id = XXXX }
	}

	controlledprovinces = {
		XXX
	}
}

The country will not be defined in the scenario.eug so you can not select it. There are two possibilities to solve this:
(1) edit scenario.eug
(2) choose any playable country then save immediatly, resign and select your save you will now be able to plya your new county.

The second is the easiest.

Thanks, it worked !

Now another question, how do I edit the last name of my character ?
There is a topic in the Main Forum but it does not explain step by step how to change the last name.
I am a complete idiot when it comes to modding, so help would be extremely appreciated.

Now another question, how do I edit the last name of my character ?

Each character has a line like this:
dynasty = { type = 12 id = XXXXXX }

Dynasties are defined in the dynasties.txt file in the db folder and are like this:

dynasty = {
	id = { type = 12 id = XXXXXX }
	name = "XXXXXXX"
	province = { XX }
}

If you want to change the name with a dynasty already existing in the game, do a CTRL+F of the name in the dynasties file, copy the id and change your characters dynasty id with it.

If you want to add a new name, copy an existing dynasty change the name, the id and if you want that courtiers to appear with this name in a province change the province number.

Make sure the id is not used and then copy/paste it for your character's dynasty.
