That's the gist of my problem. There are some events I can't trigger, at least not manually. I made my own events from others that did work. For example, I used a few of Yogurt's Byzantium events. 80332 has never failed to fire, no matter how many times I trigger it or how much I change it. 80333 did work, until I changed the effects. I had all the requirments, and the events hadn't been fired, but in F12 mode, I entered "event 80333" sans quotations and nothing happened. Nothing.

Usually, if an event is improperly written, I'll get the error message as I try to load a save game. Not so with these, so I think they're right. I specificly cannabalize events so I know they will fire, and then they don't. WTF?

take it easy man. You havn't provided the code you've written so I can't really look at what you've got. I can tell you that just b/c you game loads and starts smoothly, doesn't mean you're events don't have errors in them.

A fantastic tool I've recently come to love is the event parser, here go to this page, look it up and download it. It'll make sure your events don't have subtle errors in them. Tools n' stuff

Other than that, even if the code is 'error free', then you may have commands and triggers that are error free, but do not generate your event b/c they're wrong. So download the paser, sort out your events, and if they're still not firing, post your code and I'll take a look (others too I'm sure) ;)

good luck.

In addition I might add that it seems you are posting this in the wrong forum. I can't find event 80332 in my EEP installation...

I can't make heads or tails of it.

There's a } too many at the end here. The first of those three closes the action_a, the second closes the event, while the third one just messes things up...

Well, you mentions three error messages, at least one (if not two) of which are before this event...

* Syntax error in object Event, state <start>, at line 75 char 0, with buffer '} event = { id = 20802 trigger = { exists'

I don't believe it! There was one more } in event 20802, right before 15000, I took it out, and all the events fired. I don't understand, I took 15004 out of that file and put it in post_byz.txt, so it was out of that sequence, but it wouldn't fire until 20802 was fixed. I don't get it, but hey, thanks a lot!

Rather wierd events;)(I can't understand them :p)

But in 15004 there is probably an error, since it is an event for england that requires england to exist, rather redundant I'd say :)

Most likely the country should be country = WLS, other options would be changing the trigger to exists = WLS or NOT exists WLS but I think there are english events changing the cultures already..
