Ireland/United Celtic Empire Newb modder needs help on Industry and resource changes

[unmerged(24027)]

Hi, I've been modding Ireland to give more resources and industries. Basically making a fantasy mod for myself of a powerful Ireland!

Anyhow I change the IC of Dublin and other provinces as well as the resources. I try to do that first in the regular province area on the editor (forgot what it's called) as well as when I load up the 1936 scenario. I make the changes on the regular province editor but the cvs file or whatever won't allow me to save. I then make the requisite changes on the 1936 scenario file and it saves just fine.

However, when I go to load the game it crashes! It says province 36 has a fatal error or something, as I guess the 36' scenario I edited doesn't match up the regular code or something? I looked at the wiki but couldn't find a simple answer so hopefully someone else will know. I was a bit carried away and made Dublin 14 IC and some of the others like 6 to 8 or so!

I'm hoping to make a mod soon of a United Celtic Empire that includes Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Galicia, Brittany, etc but that's for another time. I'd actually send someone who makes a good mod like that some cash via paypal as I'm totally inept at modding, so if you're interested PM me.

Thanks!

Put back the original un-saved province.csv back in.

On top of the ireland.inc file place the increases like this example:
but use your own numbers/province numbers of course.

#Afghanistan_AFG

province = { id = 1493 metal = 57 }
province = { id = 1493 rare_materials = 26 }
province = { id = 1492 rare_materials = 35 }
province = { id = 1492 energy = 86 }
province = { id = 1484 energy = 104 }
province = { id = 1484 ic = 3 }
province = { id = 1486 ic = 3 }
province = { id = 1484 oil = 43 }
province = { id = 1486 metal = 55 }
province = { id = 1430 ic = 3 }
province = { id = 1427 ic = 3 }
province = { id = 1427 energy = 91 }#Tashkent
province = { id = 1485 ic = 3 }
province = { id = 1429 ic = 3 }
province = { id = 1431 oil = 43 }
province = { id = 1486 metal = 55 }
province = { id = 1486 oil = 67 }

Cool, thanks for the reply but don't follow? Sorry am kind of new at modding.

I reinstalled the game so starting from scratch. I have the un saved province.cvs back, but how do I place the increases on top of the ireland.inc file? I have to open it up with excel or something and change it that way? I go to say province 36, 37 etc which are irish and change them from where?

Also, how do I change Ireland's natural provinces as I'd like to make Scotland, Wales and some others like Newfoundland natural provinces.

Thanks

Re-install works.
Best to leave all csv. files alone at this point. When you do want to tackle them, best to use an editor such as UltraEdit-32, etc. There are plenty of good editors available.

Modify the rest with notepad only.

Can you post your Ireland.inc or Celtic.inc country file here and we can show/do it for you for future reference and use.

Thanks I will try to get that to you when I'm home. Right now am at work and don't have access to HOI2.

I see there's another mod with a Celtic union in it! That's cool and can't wait to play it.

Yes, they are good people!

Ok cool so I've modded a lot of the stuff but now trying to edit the province data in Excel. I'm a newb with excel so every time I highlight the IC bit on say province 30 Ireland the cell goes blank!

How can I just edit what's already written in excel? The excel help section doesn't help. Is there a way just to highlight the cell I want to edit, in this case F, and then just change the IC number 6 without the cell blanking after I double click on it? When I double click on the cell it goes blank and then I enter text and hit enter the entire row gets messed up. I don't get it.

Any help with excel would be appreciated

I would not use excel.
Only notepad or another outside editor, such as UltraEdit etc.

However, some brave souls around probably do use excel and could maybe chime in and give some useful advice.
