How do you trigger events manually in Doomsday?

[unmerged(49483)]

I often liked playing around with manual events, but now without that ability, I need to find a new way. >_>

 

[NikkTheTrick]

Press F12 and type "event X" where X stands for the event number (look up in db/events folder)

Worked for HoI2 works in Doomsday...

or press F12, type "event x y", where y is a specific country-tag, if you want to trigger an event for another country

Live and learn :wacko:
I've played many-many games and each time reloaded as "y" to get them the event :wacko:
Well, thanks

I hate having to capitulate every time I want to load a savegame. Don't know why they didn't incorporate a load-feature in the game-options menue...

Nikk, christo, manual event firing doesn't work in the Doomsday scenario, I guess that's what he was refering to, the new scenario, not the Grand Campaigns or old battle scenarios.

Yeah, I can't get any of the events to fire in the Doomsday Scenario. Is there any other way to do it?

Didn't know that, never tried... Of course I believe you, but I can't imagine why this feature shouldn't work in this specific scenario, while working perfectly well in others... Did the devs remove it deliberately?

specific scenarios have specific set of events.
For examples, "Barbarossa" has just this event file :
"scenarios/fallbarbarossa/fall_barbarossa_events.txt".

You can find this at the end of ".eug" file (or look inside the scenarios directory)

You can trigger only those events included in the file.

You can trigger only those events included in the file.

That would mean, that it is possible to fire events manually, 'cause DDscen includes events.txt, which is just a pointer to all other HOI2 events... ?

Well, all I know is that I can't find any event ID that will fire an event. All the common ones, 1012, 1009, 1007, don't work.

The DD scenario is the '0_1945.eug' in the scenarios\ folder, which includes only these event files:

event      = "db\events\ai_revolters.txt"
event      = "db\events\AI_sliders.txt"
event      = "db\events\hoi2.txt"
event      = "db\events\death_events.txt"
event      = "db\events\coups_hoi2.txt"
event      = "db\events\secret_weapon_events.txt"
event      = "db\events\doomsday_election_events.txt"
event      = "db\events\doomsday_death_events.txt"
event      = "db\events\doomsday_coup_events.txt"
event      = "db\events\doomsday_AI.txt"

The '1945.eug' in scenarios\1945\ appears to be a backup of an older version from December (in fact it is still labelled at the top as the 1944 scenario); this does not include the new Doomsday event files but it does have the standard line:

include = "db\events.txt"

...which I suspect if pasted into the '0_1945.eug' file will enable every event in the game. It is worth noting that the hoi2.txt file is already included and so events such as various WW2 surrender events or Cold War Turns Hot can already occur or be triggered manually (and so if for example USSR defeats the Allies and releases USA, Cold War Turns Hot will fire because USSR will control a bunch of the trigger cities, and the war begins anew). I'm not sure what the effect will be with the inclusion of all the WW2 AI triggers and the old election/coup events.
