Sorry for the question, but i don't see any thread about it: but in eu 3 we'll have an editor usable and overall working?
and simple to use??? (not just for a couple of people)

From what I've gathered, lots of stuff will be modifiable but I haven't heard anything about an actual editor.
Notepad is evil! emacs for the win!
I bet Johan codes in emacs. And uses the command line to compile. He's a Real Programmer. :nods:

Yes but we have many people who wants an early date, a byz to play and even in eu 2 after some time we had people who built new maps.curtis said:
i'll be glad to do an eu III in the ancient times... with carthago and greeks to play.
so maybe in the future... or maybe just a dream
I don't really mind either way. It'd be nice to have an editor (although unlikely) but I'd much prefer other features and text is easy enough. It's just the IDs that bother me; if we had a map and we could click it to get a set of IDs, that would be good.

In past Paradox games, there was a cheat to click on a province ingame and get its provid.tombom said:I don't really mind either way.

I know. It's just a pain to constantly alt-tab in and out and hoping you don't type it wrong or forget it. The province bit is the only thing I use in the editors anyway.Jayavarman said:
The cheat is called showid if anybody cares and works from Victoria onwards.

I'd much prefer Paradox to spend their efforts making the game work as well as possible, than waste developing time on an application which only duplicates what can be achieved very simply with a basic text editor.
Also, all the editors that Paradox have supplied thusfar have been a bit, well, substandard, so an EU3 one isn't really something I'd look forward to...

Well, I changed from the Mexican avatar to avoid confusion with another forum member. It appears I have changed in vaintombom said:BTW: curtis, I see you've changed your avatar

wordpad's a bit better for huge files, like editing province.csv because of the way notepad handles things.Sonny said:I think notepad is the editor.
I know EU2 (at least the version I got) came with a map with names, and it's been very useful in using to cross-reference between that and searching in province.csv to get the ID. Equally, it's annoying in Victoria or CK where I don't have a map to use.
Though map = costs, so I definitely don't blame Paradox for discontinuing that.

Holy cow! I totally forgot about that map! I didn't remember getting one, so I dug up my old EU2 box and sure enough there's a map in there. Wow... It's actually pretty nice. Even has all the little country flags along the top and bottom (though some of those have been changed in the patches).
Anyway, I'd love a simple editor for EU3. I EU2, I'm always going into the saved games and touching up the map to fix weirdness that bothers me. Nothing fancy, just something to give this province to that country and that province to this country, and maybe make a few other basic changes, would be great. I can live without it though, assuming the saved games and scenario info are all in text.

We don't need no steenkin' editors! It's likely to be a drain of time and effort that will end up creating something that won't work right at all after a few patches. Such time is much better spent elsewhere.
