Just a quick question: how exactly are flags made? I assume something like "command = { type = local_setflag which = testing_flag }" in the event is not enough, I have to add this flag in some directory, mustn't I?
On the contrary.
Defining a flag by command (or in AI/scenario files if you need that flag to be set on scenario start) is all that you need to create it

Really? How delightful!On the contrary.

Very sorry to double post, but I seem to have encountered a problem...
I added the following events, and now, whenever I start a new scenario, the game crashes. I don't even get an error message, the game just quits. Nothing in savedebug.txt.
I have checked and double-checked, and I cannot find anything wrong with it. Though it may just be my inability to see obvious errors, I do find it strange that I don't get an error message that suggests what might be wrong...

}Open settings.cfg (in your main game folder), find this line:

Start the scenario. If it crashes go and open savedebug.txt - there should be some clues inside on what the problem is.
Oh. Now the game crashes before I can even open it.
Apparently missing translations from some of the events from Faulty's Communist Germany mod are to blame... That is very odd...

Missing translation hardly can be a reason for the crash.
Post the last 20 lines of savedebug.txt - most probably there's the hint on what's going on

The only errors listed there are missing translations that have got to do with the communist Germany mod.... :/
No, that's not the problem.
Now, I have been a little stupid: I did not realise that it was possible to just hit ignore and launch the game.
I did so now, and upon starting a new scenario, it again seems like there's something wrong with the Communist Germany mod files (which is absolutely bizarre, since the game worked fine after I installed the Communist Germany Mod, and before I added the events of mine)... Apparently there's something wrong with some Trotsky ministers...
I can see what's supposedly wrong, but why on earth do I encounter this error now, and not before?
EDIT: Okay, I've gotten around the problem in a way. I made a copy of Darkest Hour Full and pasted my events there instead. Since the CGM is not installed there, I had no problems. I however found out that at some point, the file congresspoland.bmp must have been renamed congress.bmp, and that "flag = { GERintegrate2 }" must be replaced by "flag = GERintegrate2".

You see that error now, because you enabled the extra debug checks (settings.cfg).
Hello all!
I am trying to add a couple of events for Germany that would simulate their synthetic oil and rubber industries. The "Free_oil" command is working great, but I can not seem to find the command for free rares.
The modding docs state to use "free_rare_material," but that did not work. I alsi tried "free_rares," but that also did not work.
All other aspects of the events are working fine. But the incorrect commands above make the game CTD. The debug log states that is CTDs because of the bad commands.
Also, I was thinking off adding oil to rares conversion in the Synthetic Oil techs. Would "Oil_to_rare_Materials" bne the correct command to add to the tech?
Thanks in advance!!!

The command for off-map rare material production is "free_rare_materials". For example:
Code:
command = { type = free_rare_materials value = 250 }

Wilkins’ idea was estimated to cost an astounding 100 million dollers. So, San Francisco's city engineer, Michael M.

Engineer and poet Joseph Strauss, a 5-foot tall Cincinnati-born Chicagoan, said he could.

The description is far too long to put it outside a config file, and the trigger is redundant. The name of the picture is weird... but irrelevant for making the event itself work.
I recommend adding the description (and the name while you are at it) to a .csv file (let's say config/mods.csv) in lines like this:
And then replace it in the event:
If the picture doesn't work, change the name of the image to something like "Golden_Gate_Begins" (a single string without spaces in between".
