HIP Release - 2016-09-03 (Hades1)

[zijistark]

The hype is real, folks:

At last, we present to you HIP's first release for Crusader Kings II v2.6.X (The Reaper's Due). Note that ARKOpack Interface is not included in this download; it will return to HIP in a future release (when it's ready). Without further ado...

Enjoy with much hype -- SO MUCH HYPE,
- The HIP Team

Download! [ MediaFire Mirror ]
This release is for CKII v2.6.1.1 It is incompatible with savegames from all prior versions of CKII.

REMINDERS:

• If you're still "opted-in" to CKII v2.5.2.2 in Steam, then opt-out, and update the game first.
• SWMH does not include a 769 start. There is no plan to add one.
• ARKOpack Interface will be ready in a future HIP release.
• As always, one must use the same modules as previously used with old savegames. Exceptions which may be enabled or disabled at your pleasure:
  • SED: English Localisation for SWMH
  • ARKOpack Interface (when it's back)
  • Arumba's Keyboard Shortcuts
  • LTM

EMF v6.0

• Compatibility patch with Crusader Kings II v2.6.1.1
• OTHER CHANGES:
  • Some Customization Decisions Converted to Game Rules:
    • Game rule Ahistorical De Jure Empires replaces decisions Add Ahistorical Empires and Remove Ahistorical Empires.
    • Game rule Gender Equality replaces same-named customization decision.
    • A few others will likely be converted in the future.
  • Agnatic Succession is now the baseline default gender succession law rather than Agnatic-Cognatic Succession. The ERE (top empire title only) and titles with holders of the culture Occitan or the culture group Iberian after the year 1000 will still default to Agnatic-Cognatic succession, and any titles scripted via history to have particular gender succession laws will override these defaults.
  • The Invasion CB (such as that used by William the Conqueror in the 1066 bookmark) now sets the succession law of the target title to that of the attacker's primary title upon success. E.g., if William wins his 1066 invasion, England will become Agnatic Gavelkind appropriately. Also, all new vassals of the attacker will be subjugated for 10 years (and thus unable to join factions against their new liege).
  • (Reaper DLC only) Adjusted the chances of symptoms turning into serious illnesses (healthy characters become seriously ill less often, weak characters more often), and adjusted the chances of some illnesses such as gout and cancer to be less common.
• FIXES:
  • Missing Zaydi holy sites added and religion description updated to reflect non-heresy status.
  • Congenital trait inheritance from grandparents now more robust and properly reflects the traits of newborns' real fathers, if different from their effective father.

CPRplus v2.6.0

• NEW FEATURES:
  • Incorporated East African portrait assets, adjusting skin tone
  • Overhauled the Western African face, incorporating some materials from the East African portrait pack
  • Incorporated vanilla’s eye patches and masks (eye patch does not show up if the character is Blinded)
  • Those portrait sets that use Byzantine headgear and/or cloth make use of Late Byzantine portrait assets
• CHANGES:
  • CPRplus’s original Ethiopian headgear assets now show up in the early era (before 950)
  • Coptic portrait now uses Levantine face [SWMH only]
• FIXES:
  • West African face paint no longer removes hair
  • Fixed placement oddities with Indian portrait sets
  • Somali provinces now have the holding icons that were originally assigned to them in CPR
  • CPRplus’s slightly altered Eastern Slavic armor now appears correctly

SWMH v2.935

• Compatibility patch with Crusader Kings II v2.6.1.1

HYPE!!

 

[blizz]

Thanks!

Bravo!

So was the EULA thing solved?

So was the EULA thing solved?

Still awaiting clarification. BjornB intends to make a statement, but he does happen to be at PAX and thus indisposed right now, which also happens to be held 3-4 blocks away from my place here in Seattle this weekend. Oh, sure, I could hunt him down in a frenzy, but that probably wouldn't help.

We simply couldn't wait for a clarification that had no deadline; we're not going to kill the mod over this. Does EULA language as such make us think twice about future projects with Paradox? Sure; it's not comfortable, to say the least, but we'll see what Paradox has to say once they've finished filtering through legal.

Only a few blocks? We should kidnap him and force him to give us all the things we want! Yay!
In a serious note, let's be happy that the compatch is here.

 

[Oinkidoink]

Uhm, i'm able to usurp the Kingdom of Asturias title as King Aethelraed of Wessex in the 867 start. xD

Edit: Apparently, anyone can.

Indeed, now is the time to be merry-- and, for the team, finally time to relax. Insofar as EMF and the various other modules and inter-module compatches worked by the EMF team, Rylock and IoannesBarbarus deserve special praise for the general busting-of-ass that they did. I'd be lost without their help.

*Big round of applause!* Wish I could distribute some well deserved champagne, but you're all so far away.

I'm sad to hear Arko's Interface is out of the loop for a while, I've really grown to prefer it over vanilla. Is this because it's getting better than ever by any chance?

 

[The Guru]

Hooray!

BTW, - I may have missed the corresponding thread - is the 2.0 version of VIET events an version expurgated of the penis and fart jokes? Or is it the same as always?

 

[Ispil]

Well, we wouldn't be able to call it VIET if we did that, now would we?

Thanks. Well, cheers, in any case.

EDIT: Regarding Arko's Interface, it's more that it's troublesome working some of the new 2.6 province view into Arko's general design for that. That and the guy is a one-man show, works full-time, and just relocated, while UI compatching can be a real slog of tedium.

Totally uncensored VIET action.

[And definitely turned-off in my personal installer preset.]

 

[grzegorz444]

Wow, impressive work
Thanks for update

Yeah, I kind of figured that might have happened. We have another idea on how to fix it, so we'll probably get it next release. [It's definitely a bug on Paradox's end that we're working around.]

Yes pretty much this. I am trying various tricks to prevent blocking the whole module release because one part needs more or less heavy redesign -province view this time with the extended view for hospitals, the province terrain, the new properrity, focus and health icon, not to mention the view is different with or without the DLC activated-

So the plan is maybe to come with a version without the province view at first, then re'add it later.

As mentionned by ziji i relocated recently to Alsace, so as a bonus for this compatch, i added a few baronial CoA for this region

 

[Pukovnik]

Yaaaas!

Much appreciated HIP team!
