Find the error (landed_titles.txt)

[the_legion]

So I created 2 new entities ( d_switzerland and e_russia) and made 2 new corresponding files (d_switzerland.tga / e_russia.tga with the right size) in the %/gfx/flag folder
and switched some counties and duchies arround. Problem:

The game doesn't show the right flags.

There must be an error in the landed_titles.txt but I searched the whole day and found nothing.
I messed arround mostly in Italy and Poland if that helps. Any tipp would be nice.

I am working on creating more mercenaries and am having the exact same problem with that file.

 

[the_legion]

But it's our error.

if I only add

e_russia = {
color={ 75 125 6 }
capital = 575 # Moskva
}

with the corresponding flag-file everything is fine.
I must have forgotten a } somewhere or pasted a county
without deleting the reference or something.
But it's close to impossible to find such mistakes ...

Delete or rename the flags folder in My Documents.

 

[the_legion]

Delete or rename the flags folder in My Documents.

Sadly it doesn't work. For example e_hre still get's the flag of c_wolgast ...

Thanks anyway Overlord123, you dragged me in the right direction. I looked at the flagfiles_0.tga and saw that
there allways was a difference of 3 in which file was choosen.

In the end I realised that in the landed_titles.txt it was named k_golden_horde and not e_golden_horde.
Very strange because I didn't remember I modded anything there ....

But thanks, problem solved !!!

 

[Darrigan]

Probably because you have k_golden_horde, while it should be e_golden_horde


EDIT: Oh, you found it already
Did you take the landed_titles file from the demo? If so, that's the reason for the mess-up. The demo has the hordes as kingdoms, while the full game has them as empires...

Had a similar problem earlier myself, couldn't for the life of me work out what was wrong. After seeing this thread I checked and found the same thing with Golden Horde, Il-Khanate and Timurids

 

[Federalist girl]

Yeah. In general, if you're got a title without a flag, all the flags get messed up. So the hordes from the demo might cause problems, but also any time you add new titles without giving them flags, you'll have this same issue.

Ah right, I modded the landed-titles from the demo and dragged it into the final game (wanted to save time which was an epic fail because it took the whole day to figure out what was wrong ^^).

This thread helped me figure out why my custom flags were not showing up in my mod. Thanks!
