Some small words of advice when it comes to "events":

1. If you want long event descriptions, put them in a config file (i.e. event_txt.csv) in order to have them show up correctly in game (don't know the limit but think it's something like a 500 character limit to writing the event_desc directly into the event". Instead, write EVENT_XXX_DESC and have it corresponded to EVENT_XXX_DESC in event_text.csv

2. Try to make the action_X as short as possible. Those you did now (action_d atleast) won't show up in it's full and that's a shame but not so much to do anything about..

1) wait, so just make 1 .csv file and redo all the events from the .txt file or make both a .csv file and a .txt file, containing the same events? :confused:

2) I made the action text much shorter.

You got to config folder in game directory.
There is event_text.csv

Ya can see there for example
Code:
EVT_8005_DESC;A secret project has borne fruit. Aircraft and naval contractors and turbojet engineers have joined forces, and the project manager has presented the theoretical results to the General Staff. It is believed that further empirical research can lead to a series of Turbojet Naval Bombers;

EVT_8005_DESC is "code" that is used to call this info into Event Window.
You implement it as

Code:
desc = "EVT_8005_DESC"

same goes for name of event

Code:
name = "EVT_8005_NAME"
shall be written like description in this file

Please to make it clear copy already existing file and clear orginal one - then write all descriptions with more than 500 symbols into it

North America events
########################
EVENT_900000;For decades the USA has remained in diplomatic isolation. The US continues to jeously adhere to the Monroe Doctrine, and refuses to get involved in any foreign conflicts. As the Great Powers in

the old world beat their chests with pride and gear up for an inevitable war of epic proportions, the young republic faces a crisis of its own. Althouh the nation has enjoyed relative economic prosperity

since the 1920's, and has a strong military securing its interests, trouble is brewing from within. Radical politicains and citizens have argued for a reform in the US's foreign policies, claiming that

the US has lost all pride, being as it is eclipsed by the European monarchies. Large workers unions,tired of a lack of economic reforms they were promised in the '28 election, have become semi-militant

and are itching for change. Meanwhile, admist the social-politcal backdrop, lies an even darker secret. Today, military leaders meet under the cover of darkness to instigate a change. Some of the USA's

top generals and politicians are in on the conspiracy that threatens to destroy democracy. The conspirators are restless, and feel a new order
must replace the current one or the USA will drift into obscurity.;
EVENT_900001;on Janurary 12, the key leaders of the Cabal met to discuss the US's current situation. Their lives are shrouded in utter secrecy. Some are uasumming politicans and businessmen
seeking money and power, while others are high ranking officers in all branches of the US armed forces. Their faces were faintly illuminated in the dank light of a run down, inconspicuous
apartment building in the middle of Washington DC, a look of horror on their faces. Nonone dared speak after hearing what the oil magnate had to say: 'The US is dead. Reds run amok in the streets
protesting for higher wages. Those sick people who call themselves government officals are getting soft towards the nations true goals. Our own citizens seem to be more supportive of the
Kaiser then of the President. Gentlemen, in short I suggest we take action. On election day, Americans will bow down before their true leaders. We will make this dead nation into an
economic and military superpower. Mark my words.' The oil magnagetes message was clear: a new regime was to be put in place. But how?
The Cabal has four distinct plans they perfer to persue right now which will decide the fate of the United States. As the leader of the Cabal, you must choose wisely. The fate of the nation
is in your hands.;
EVENT_900002;Hello, my dearest America. I'd like to address the terrifying situation that many of you now find yourself in
As you know, I've been forced to put General MacArthur in charge, but I assure you it's only temporary. MacArthur
found incriminating evidence in a raid in Chicago that the IWW was attempting to overthrow the government. Deceit
like that cannot be tolerated. That is why, starting today, martial law will be declared across the nation.;

For some reason I keep getting a error though? Is it the variable name? the text is too long?

To those who want to know

I have almost finished redesign of China, Indochina and making of British India.


Next thing I am going to do is apply changes on North America (scenario file and minister editions)

O just have skipped through events textfile and I have found out that,
1. Old file shall be kept
2. We add our descriptions before
Code:
#EOF;;;;;;;;;;;x
#EOF;;;;;;;;;;;x

also every added description should end with ";;;;;;;;;;x"

FYI: Along with all my games, files, and other stuff on the C: drive, I lost all of my events. Can't figure out what I wrote so I will start anew. Ive stored my modding files in the F: Drive, which still has all of my other computer files on it

UPDATE: Here are the events, both in their entirety in-game:

usevent1.jpg



usevent2.jpg


I have already added onto the text file for event 2, so it does include a description now(the one you see is a test)

Oh, and don't mind the 40 dissent value, that won't be implemented ;)

Only added dissent to test a command for the event.

I'm back on track and will make plenty more US events.

Vojtechjan, What events would you have me do first? Right now I'm doing flavour events. Should I start with major events?

PS: Do you plan to add the CSA back into the game like The War That Never Was was supposed to have? It would give a great reason for the USA falling apart/possible civil war. :cool:
