Creating a new country: Ghost Code

[Alqamar]

Updating revolt.txt doesn't seem to work correctly (aka Ghost Code)

Stranger problems have arisen during the creation of the Basque Country in Victoria:Revolutions.

1) I had defined Basque Country in revolt.txt as:

U02 = { #DBF
date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1896 }
expirydate = { day = 31 month = december year = 1935 }
minimum = { 716 694 695 }
extra = { 715 714 717 }
capital = 716
culture = { type = basque }
religion = catholic
literacy = -1
ai = "default.ai"
slaves = no
vassal = yes
revolt = no
primitive = no
}

2) But then I re-defined it in revolt.txt as:
U02 = { #Basque Country
date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1896 }
expirydate = { day = 31 month = december year = 1935 }
minimum = { 716 694 695 } #Bilbao Pamplona Estella
extra = { 693 696 710 717 718 719 } # Huesca Zaragoza Teruel Pau Mont de Marsan Bordeaux
capital = 716 # Bilbao
culture = {
type = basque
type = spanish }
religion = catholic
literacy = -1
ai = "default.ai"
slaves = no
vassal = yes
revolt = no
primitive = no
}

3) But there must be something I'm doing wrong because now, when I play as Spain in 1914 and release the Basque Country, it has claims on both the old provinces ( 715 714 717 ) and the new ones ( 693 696 710 717 718 719 ).

Any idea about this? I have deleted the saved games folders, but I'm unable to solve it. I have even re-booted twice to ensure old revolt.txt was no longer in memory.

AFAIK a nation can only have 1 entry in revolt.txt

if you want to have 2 different versions, you'll need to assign a second Uxx number to the second version.

Sorry, I didn't explain myself clearly. I didn't put two U02 entries... I deleted the first one, and added the second version. In the first version, U02 had claims over these provinces { 715 714 717 }; in the second version, U02 has claims over these provinces { 693 696 710 717 718 719 } BUT when I release it as a satellite, it has claims over all the provinces, even after I have deleted { 715 714 } from revolt.txt

There must be some bit of ghost code somewhere... if I delete the country definion from revolt.txt, Spain can no longer release it as a satellite (as the country doesn't exist). However, if I add the country's definition (new version) again to revolt.txt, it is releasable again... with claims to the provinces defined in both the new version and the old one...

I don't like bumping my own messages, but I'm still working on this problem, and it seems I have came to a dead-end.

I wonder whether this is a bug everybody is aware of, and that's why nobody is saying any suggestions, or whether you have no idea what kind of problem I am having, or whether it's just too soon.

I just would like to point that I'm out of ideas, and since this is my first country, I would like it to be as perfect as possible before showing it to anybody.

I'm using Victoria 1.4 with Revolutions 2.01, just straight out of the box.

Problem solved, thanks to OHGamer's help. I didn't know about a random event that randomly adds provinces to a country's national provinces.

Next step: Creating a couple of events for the Basque Country.
