IIRC there is a notation method not unlike "*/", though.
I could have sworn I used something like it in one of my early DD mods all those eons ago.

What exactly is wrong with the name? I think it has to do with syntax because I have used the exact same name and description with other events.

id = 1011

control = { province = 1076 data = GRE }
control = { province = 1077 data = GRE }

control = { province = 1079 data = GRE }
control = { province = 384 data = GRE }

The problem is the trigger. You have an extra } too many just before name =. Or in other words, you have already closed out the event before you even get to name =
I originally had it that way but it kept freezing every time the loading bar completely filled. As it didn't state any errors in the debug, I copy-pasted a format of one of the events in Germany's folder.
Well, as no one seems to be able to identify the problem, I will just revert to my original solution of attempting to mod the save. @novapaddy Thank you for your attempt to help and do you know which thread I would go to for help at modding a save?
Novapaddy is correct. The trigger has an extra }.
Also, there are two } missing at the end (one to close the action, the other to close the event).
Also, there are two } missing at the end (one to close the action, the other to close the event).
Let's try another approach, as you may have more than one problem here?
Are you definitely using the error checker, since the error in that event would definitely have been shown as multiple errors in the savedebug file?
You go to the settings.cfg file in the main dh folder and set it like this: 1 # Extra debug logs
Now when you load the game, it will highlight all the errors in the savedebug.txt file found underneath this file in that folder.
If your game is crashing right at the very end of the loading bar, it is likely to be a graphic problem (in my experience). Have you changed any images, loading screens? Have you used them as a .jpg file instead of the necessary .bmp file for instance?
But like I said, anytime I didn't use that extra }, it froze. I originally had it without that } as I said in the post right after Novapaddy.
The two } are at the end of the event in the file. I guess I just didn't go down far enough when I was copy-pasting it into the post.
It doesn't crash, it freezes; and I know how to set the debugs and read them from the save debug file. That is the whole reason why I even knew that the problem with the other version was around the name; because it told me that was where the error was happening. This problem DOESN'T SHOW UP in save debug because it doesn't crash, it freezes and stops responding. Please do not make me repeat my previous sentences. It irritates me quite badly when I have to repeat myself.
not crashing
And no, I haven't done anything at all with images. I barely know how to frankenstein events. I can't do anything with images.
Apologies if anything in this post sounds rude. I am merely trying to emphasize the important parts that you seem to have missed in my previous posts and there is very little way to do that when typing, unlike speech where tone would play into emphasization.
I know it is very frustrating when you have a problem but no solution. That club has a large membership.
OK, why not delimit that whole event with # before each line. Load it again and see what happens?
If it loads ok, I would remove that event, maybe even that event file is corrupted?
Rewrite the event from scratch?
If it does not load, and freezes again, and there is nothing in the savedebug, then you have another spare } somewhere.
Just work backwards going through all the stuff you worked on, to find it.
Unfortunately there is no other way but looking line by line. Done it myself a 100 times. Cheers
I know it is most definitely this event that is causing the problem because I have been writing these events as I need them. This event is to make my Greek ally stop giving away the land I gave it from the now puppet-Turkey. I guess I will try to rewrite it. Honestly, I am just trying to learn how to make events and, in the process, I have gained a new respect for modders. Doing this is tiring and takes hours to finish even one event.
I'm having an issue where this event won't fire. It should be triggered by any of several events that create the Soviet Union after 6 months but they are Russian events. Would this cause an issue?
Code:
event = {
id = 7560201

name = "The Two Mikhails"
desc = "Within the new Soviet state, two personalities have come to dominate domestic politics: Mikhail Frunze, old Bolshevik and military commander, and Mikhail Tukhachevsky, brilliant young strategist and passionate revolutionary. Frunze advocates autonomy, peace, and an integration of the soviet state into the world order while Tukhachevsky espouses continual revolution and class struggle. The bitterness and public hostility between the two men threatens to tear the new republic apart."

Do the events referenced have a "save_date=yes" section? Otherwise, the trigger will never be true.
Having an issue with another event. Everything fires correctly, but the second option in the last event doesn't show up. I only get the "they aren't worth it" option.

I would guess that either SOV is already at war with KYG or KYG gives military access to SOV, and since the command can't execute, the action doesn't appear.
Here's a question... can you no longer use " " for name and description? I keep getting errors over that for -a lot- more events similar to these.

]You can, but there is a limit on the number of characters you can use that way. I don't remember the exact number, but I believe it was 255 (spaces do count)
I can't for the life of me figure out what I did wrong with these two... The events that I added start from ID 446617.
