I'm sorry, but are you sure that new cultures from Charlemagne were actually added in SWMH? Because there are still "noculture" signs present and the "cultures" file contains no old_frankish, suebi etc. The first Catalans are also still of Leonese culture. Not to mention there are no Merovingians and additions to various lineages are also not present, thus distorting the genealogical trees.
Thank you in advance for your reply!
Regarding none of the new vanilla cultures being added, are you perhaps using CPR? Where do you see noculture characters? Specifically. I assume by "Catalans" you mean de Barcelonas. By "first," I assume that you mean characters dead prior to 867? If so, that's either the vanilla assignment or was already the case in SWMH character history.
As far as the Merovingians, no, we haven't looked into that. I do know that vanilla had something like 497 broken dynasties about a week ago, and while some stuff was done about that, Arko hasn't updated his 00_dynasties.txt for Arko CoA since the original 2.2, and it's possible that such a fix was not reflected. It's also entirely possible that SWMH overrode those character IDs previously (before CM), then vanilla reassigned the IDs with Charlemagne, and now they point at the wrong characters (as opposed to the right characters pointing at the wrong dynasty).
In general, we're in a position where we're trying to make SWMH work as nicely and correctly as possible for Charlemagne all without making any major changes to SWMH at the same time and without the ability to consult the SWMH team on what changes from vanilla in their mod were intentional and which were simply inherited from vanilla at some point and thus could be updated. It's not possible for us to adopt all new lineage additions in vanilla, because SWMH is not vanilla, and we have little license on what we can do with the mod on our own. "We" here is primarily myself and Think0028. So we'll do the best we can, but until we get some support from the SWMH team, our hands are somewhat tied.
Our primary goal is just to make sure that province, character, and title history from 867.1.1 forward is correct and playable.
EDIT: If your compiled 00_cultures.txt doesn't contain an "old_frankish," as you say, then you're either not using the current version of SWMH (today's download), or you're using CPR and something is up with that. SWMH definitely contains an old_frankish culture now.
