Event Packs: Creating a better CK2 one line of code at a time

[Parha]

Hello to all, I am here to announce something your feature-hungry people have been clamoring for forever. That being, Event Packs. These are essentially mods which adds many events, traits, event chains, and decisions to improve a player's immersive experience in Crusader Kings 2.

Also, I am wanting to clear something up. This is NOT my project, it is the combined efforts of many different modders working towards a shared goal, a more immersive Crusader Kings 2. Anyone who creates an Event Pack (It can be from just one trait to something one the scale of VIET) just makes a post similar to my mod ones (Description and Download), and I will link and credit you to it in this main post.

The Team Members as of now are me, Parha, TheAnguishedOne, Patroclusmega, and Rokh

The current Event Packs are

Maiden Events - Parha

Literacy Events -Parha

Viva La Protestantance! -Parha & Patroclusmega

[Parha]

Viva La Protestantance!

Features

• Literacy Trait and Philosopher Lifestyle Trait
• Before a reformation event can happen, the Printing Press must be invented
• Events for child baptism
• The pope can choose to allow corrupt practices if he has specific traits, such decisions are nepotism (Has focus family or Charitable trait), simony (greedy and arbitrary), usury (greedy and arbitrary), pluralism (mystic or cyncial), and indulgences(greedy and cruel).
• The events above have a ten year cool down limit between each thing happening. Each will bring down MA by 7 percent, and once each of events above have fired...
• There will be a a Reformation event, where M.L. goes to a kingdom where the ruler has bad relations the pope. There, he will start to print bibles for the peasants and spread the idea. Evantually, people will morph hi words ad rise up in revolt as heresies.
• Events such as the printing of the common-tongue bible, the first province to convert to Lutheran, and the rise of different heresies can affect religion's MA
• New heresies of Lutheran can be Anabaptism, Munsterian, Calvinism, Zwinglian, and Hussite
  *Anabaptism: Can choose to baptise later in life and Can choose to swear off violence (disallows the starting of wars and leading troops)
  *Munsterian: Experiences the Munster Storyline, can have prophets arise and take power, polygamy allowed (up to five wives)
  *Calvinism: Can choose between being a five point or four point Calvinist, unable to demand conversion or proselytize, there is to be no governments so vassal limit is very restricted to prevent large realms, can declare holy wars on other Christians, all characters must have atleast one negative trait
  *Zwinglian: Crown authority is limited to low and it costs massive piety loss to raise it, unable to make people monks (Zwingli smashed monasteries), gains tax from catholic provinces (taxes on church and fish)
  *Hussite:
• A protestant ruler gains tax from his bishops, but is subject to holy war by zealous Catholics
• Each protestant independent ruler has an opportunity to set up a national church. Having a national church increases conversion and taxation rates, but causes bad relations with Christian rulers of other religion

Awesome I look forward to using them and putting them in my mod, I have a question for the maiden one, is it possible to check if a women was married as a virgin later on? I need it for an event I am working on that determines if one is eligible to begin training as a priest in a particular religion.

Define "later on"? Like do you mean if one marriage she had the virgin trait? If so, try this.

Replace the 00_on_actions.txt marriage event with this

# Sent to employers of both spouses - ROOT is employer. FROM is employers "employee". new_character is the other spouse.
on_marriage = {
    events = {
        500 # Royal Marriage Aid Duty
        501 # Zoroastrian "Xwedodah" marriage
        502 # Messalian close kin marriage
        708 # Marriage Game achievement
        CM.10023  # Chronicle entry
        CM.10036 # Chronicle entry - primary heir
        blank.100 # Check for Maidenhood on marriage
}


These are what you put in the event files
#Marriage
character_event = {
    id = blank.100
    hide_window = yes

    is_triggered_only = yes

    trigger = {
        NOT = { has_character_flag = maiden_on_marriage }
    }

    immediate = {
        set_character_flag = maiden_on_marriage
    }        

    option = {
        name = "fill-in"
    }
}

#Priestess
character_event = {
    id = blank.101
    desc = "Blank2"
    trigger = {
               has_character_flag = maiden_on_marriage
              religion = youreligion
    }
    option = {
        name = "fill-in2"
        trait = priestess_in_training
    }
}

Hope you enjoy it!

Basically I need to go back 3-4 generations at the least and check if the mother was a virgin before marriage due to genealogy laws for priests with the mandaens

That's gonna be harder, I'll take a crack it tonight and hope for the best

Neat! A competitor to VIET, eh?
Looking forward to this.

Also I would like to port them over to CK2Plus






...and maybe even add some events to it. I have tons of ideas in my head and as concepts, but I never found time to actually code them. Maybe. I'll let you know should I make up my mind...

Well maybe some competition will help jog the team's creativity Anyways, you can port them over to anything so long as credits are given to the maker of each respective Pack, I don't plan on making all of them. Also, news flash. I'm putting the finishing touches on the Maiden one (basically just making the events more interesting), have maybe twenty percent of Literacy, and have only minimal work done on Viva. In case anyone's interested, once I finish the first two I'll start working on one that adds events for each culture about their mythical creatures. Future plans also include more events for ambitions and general court stuff.

Isn't Protestantism already in the game in the form of Waldensian and Lollard heresies?

Kinda, I'm just expanding on it even further

EDIT: Posted Maiden Events. Going to take this opportunity to offer anyone a spot on the team. If you want to, PM me so we can discuss

EDIT 2: Lord Peter, if you want to make the events, you can host them on this page. Could give us both a little more traffic. You could make a post about them with description and download link, and I'll put a link with your name on the main post.

Could you maybe make a culture event pack? Here's what it would contain:

• Artist, Musician, and Patron/Matron of the Arts traits
• Court Artist honorary title
• Events to gain the traits (which count as hobbies)
• Getting Artist and Musician would be similar to the way you get Poet - at first you have the Aspiring Poet modifier, then you get the Poet trait if you pick the right decision in an event a little while later.
• To get Patron/Matron of the Arts, you need to have a certain amount of Learning, Diplomacy, and Stewardship; at some point an event will fire and you can choose to become one
• Events that add flavor to the traits - your artwork/music is noticed by your liege, who is a Patron or Matron, and he/she gives you the Court Musician/Artist honorary title

You could add more to this if you think of something that would fit perfectly. This is basically the concept for a Culture focus that I really think should have been added in WoL.

Love the idea of a culture event pack. We'll look into it. (By we I mean Parha, as have no coding experience. )

Interesting ideas, and Anguished is right, will be added to the to-do list. A few ideas I had for this is maybe the chance of a Leonardo Da Vinci type person event chain popping up, and he can make paintings for you. Once he is finished, you can sell it for a lot of gold, or keep it in the family for increased monthly prestige. It would kinda work like those holy chalice events. You can choose to sell it, but that would end up being a loss of prestige. Maybe It could also give piety if it's a religious painting? On that thought, maybe the pope could try and buy it from you or something. As to your culture focus thing, I would love to have that, but I don't know how to add focuses. Any ideas anyone? If not, I think I will just replace one of the learning ones. Actually, maybe it could be an ambition. Anybody who has thoughts or ideas on how to do this stuff, please reply so I can know how to proceed with this.

Here's what I'm basing the mythical creatures one on. If you guys have more to suggest, feel free. I plan on having atleast two to three per culture.

 

[Nyrael]

Yaay, there can never be too many event packs ^_^ (but isn't the Protestant one way out of the timeframe?)

BTW, should I add the mod in a new game or will it be alright if I just add it into my on-going game? (I usually add new mods before starting a campaign so I am unsure how this would work)

 

[Patroclusmega]

I'm creating an anglican creation event, I could help you and join this project if possible...

It is out of timeframe, but I just wanted to do it. I will make it happen after 1350 at least, no Protestantism in 769! About adding this mod in, I think it might be ok. Just make two save files of your current date in the game, and then close out, activate the mod, and test one of those files. If all of the traits are messed up and half the world is Sayyid and Mizra, you'll have to wait till new gamre to use it.

Yeah, that would be really cool! I haven't really started on it yet but you're welcome to be a part of the team. Just tell me what you want to do for it. My steam username is Parha also if you prefer that to the forum stuff.

The concept is simple, I want to work on On_action event. If the pope deny to you the divorce and you have bad relationship with him and you are of one of british culture you would be able to create the anglican church and be the head of it. All of your vassal will have a 50% chance to convert to Anglicanism , except zealous then will stay of their religion. There will be for 5 year a +10% religious revolt risk. I think I can program it easily, I've never worked on on_action trigger before but I've seen it and they seem to be very simple, here the On_action then I want to use

# ASK_FOR_DIVORCE_INTERACTION_DECLINE_EVENT =
diploresponse_event = {
    id = 235
  
    border = GFX_event_letter_frame_religion

    is_triggered_only = yes
    major = no
    is_friendly = yes

    trigger = {
        ai = no
    }

    desc = "EVTDESC235"

    option = {
        name = "OK"
    }
}

My plain it's just create the religion, create an event then will fire with this On_action then will give you the chooise to create the Anglican church and another event for let the vassal decide. So will require only 2 event and to modify the on_action.
