Editing Overextension.

[Sensational]

So here's the issue, we have an MP game going where I need to edit the save to remove the overextension that 3 provinces are causing. The problem? The player that suffers from the overextension is no longer the controller or the owner of the provinces.

Basically, it went like this:

1. We made a peace where the 3 provinces were given to Palatine, we did not know that you could no longer sell provinces that you cannot core.
2. Palatine was stuck with 3 provinces he shouldn't have and so I decided to try to edit that by going into the save and swapping the Controller and Owner of the province to the correct person, France.
3. This seemingly transferred ownership, yet did not remove overextension from the Palatine player. According to his OE interface, he still needs to core them: http://i.imgur.com/U5p1WQX.png
4. I went back in and added fake history to the provinces, edited his num_of_non_cores to =0, edited his overextension_percentage to =0.0 and yet... it keeps coming back.

What modifier am I missing, why does the game still think he controls those 3 provinces? When I load up the save the game says he has 0 OE and the OE button is greyed out, as soon as I unpause it, those 3 provinces pop up and the OE is back to 64%.

I do not know why this is happening, but you could try editing the save in order to give him cores on those three provinces. That should remove the overextension and he'll be able to sell them.

That should remove the overextension and he'll be able to sell them.

He does not control them:

Adding cores might still work but it's a messed up workaround. I'm also concerned that not fixing this properly might cause issues down the line with wars and what-not.

You could transfer the provinces to him by editing the save. Then add cores to the provinces by editing.

you need to scroll down even further, it lists all provinces, cores and claims

		owned_provinces=
		{
			106 109 113 120 121 122...
		core_provinces=
		{
			106 109 113 120 121 122...

Thar we go. Thank you.
