How's this for a universal slave freeing event? (Now actually works!)

Comments?

*EDIT*

I've revised it after numerous failures; I seem to get stuck on Line 44 (The Militancy for Craftsmen in Option A.) Despite checking and double checking existing events, it doesn't like some of those lines at all. What am I doing wrong?

After checking again, it says something about an lhs failure and an unknown command, and then goes on for 4 errors if I Ignore them, one for each part of the aforementioned lined. It has a problem with 'command = {', 'type = pop_militancy', 'which = craftsmen', and then says something about an unknown value for 'value = -1'. What's weird is, there are three commands above that one, and Vic doesn't have a problem with how THOSE are worded! (Simply look above and see for yourself - they're the same!) Or at least not the "command = {' part, anyway. What gives?

*EDIT 3*

Whoops, I'm retarded. Missing brackets. Naturally the game errors don't point out the offending line, but rather the one AFTER it, which I forgot.

*EDIT 4*

D'oh, now there's another problem around the clergy lines! I'm not sure if there's a problem with the clergy lines or the ones above them! Argh!

*EDIT 5*

Ah, it's "clergymen."

Now to try again and see what else is probably wrong!

*EDIT 6*

Well, I don't get errors on startup anymore, but it's not activating. Anyone know why? I'm 99% sure the country I'm playing as has met the set conditions.

*EDIT 7*

There! It came up almost right away this time. I guess the "NOT" trigger really was messing it up, although the way I understand it, I, well, still don't understand why it didn't work before! If you have it set to "NOT", doesn't it mean the event will trigger so long as that is not the case?

*EDIT 8*

Added the additional events.

 

[Setsuna]

Does anyone see any problems with the trigger conditions? For the life of me I cannot get this event to trigger.

Does it trigger by doing F12, event 44400? If so, you will need to look at the trigger. Somebody more experienced should help you.

 

[aprof]

Add:

date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1836 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1920 }

and see if that helps.

 

[Setsuna]

..nope. Hmm.

Also, I did put the generic date and offset in, but that didn't help.

 

[tombom]

I think your problem is that:
reform = { type = political_parties level = none_allowed }
means greater than level none allowed. So it will only trigger for people who have political parties at none allowed. Also make sure to keep checking Havard's website.

 

[Setsuna]

I think your problem is that:
reform = { type = political_parties level = none_allowed }
means greater than level none allowed. So it will only trigger for people who have political parties at none allowed. Also make sure to keep checking Havard's website.

But I have that set to NOT, which means it should trigger only for countries without that condition.

I have been checking Havard's website and other tutorials out though. I'm still baffled.

 

[Setsuna]

Ok! I've got it working. Now we can get down to the business of refining it - both its trigger conditions (More stringent? One time only? Multiple events in case you want to change your mind?) and its actions.

Oh, and could a mod change the title for me? Just add the phrase "(Now actually works!)" at the end.

*EDIT*

D'oh! The relation clause isn't working! (Or at least it doesn't say it is..) Little help?

 

[unmerged(9404)]

Isn't the USA eligible for this event at the start of a GC?

 

[tombom]

How did you get it working?

 

[Setsuna]

By changing the NOT = { reform = { type = political_parties level = none_allowed } } to two ORs. Like I said, I don't really understand how the NOT condition works.

 

[Setsuna]

Isn't the USA eligible for this event at the start of a GC?

That's probable. I would like to add a NOT clause to all of the countries that have their own specific events, (Offhand I can think of the USA, CSA, and Brazil), but after the trouble I've already had with the NOT trigger..

Well, I can give it a try, I suppose. Is there a list of countries that have their own slave freeing events?

 

[unmerged(9404)]

I believe those three you mentioned are the only ones.

 

[Setsuna]

Okay, I'm spicing things up a bit by working on some additional events. Soon, you'll be able to change your mind either way you go. Now the Emancipation Retraction will be more than a hoax! :rofl:

 

[Setsuna]

Progress is going well on the additional events, but I've run into a problem. Does anyone know anything about slaves being automatically freed after the first day in all scenarios except the GC? Is this a bug, or what? It's making it difficult to test an event that doesn't happen until 1866..

 

[Setsuna]

Well, despite the apparent bug wherein slaves are released the world over after one day in all scenarios except the GC, I was able to test the final event.

So here they are! The extra events, and the vaunted Emancipation Retraction.

As usual, comments are welcome and even encouraged. I also plan on starting a second thread of events that allows countries that didn't have slaves in the first place to legalize it.

 

[Donnie D]

Where are these events to be addded ?

 

[Setsuna]

Sorry for the late reply, I've had a lot going on and such.. also right now the files are on a HD I can't access, and that doesn't really help.

To repeat what I did, just add the events to a text file called slaves.txt. Put that in the db/events directory. Then (Make a backup of this file first) link to that in the events.txt file in the db directory (I put mine near the generic civilization event, but I don't think it matters where.) Then, and make a backup of this file first, go to the config directory and open the event_text file. Add EVT_44400_NAME;Slavery - Yea or Nay?;;;;;;;;;;X and the rest somewhere in there. And then you should be set!

Note that if you want this to apply to a current savegame, I believe you can do that by looking through the savegame file and finding the current event text files, and then adding slaves.txt into that. Otherwise you'll need to start a new game.
