[Mod Generator] Kingdoms (and Empires) Abound Titular Title Generator

[Measter]

I just tried it with your mod files, and I'm getting all 952 provinces in the history folder. What happens when you specify the seed used for generation, and use the same one multiple times?

I simply get four versions which all have 949 provinces and crash consistently..
Funny thing is, in the log file there are 952 provinces mentioned, so why it would only generate 949 is a mystery to me.
edit: The working files also have 949 provinces, so although it's weird, it's probably not the cause of the crash.

 

[Measter]

Could you send me two log files, please? One of a generation that works, and one of a generation that crashes.

I have created two new mod file sets. Coincedently again the first one worked and the second one crashed (in the loading after selecting a character).
I also entered the seed of the working one and generated new files, which ended up working also. Not sure whether this is useful information or not..
I also added the mod files, in case they are useful.

Working 2.0.10
Crashing 2.0.10

Noticing an issue with Diadochi Kings. Attempting to generate history will cause the progress bar to hang on "Checking Empires". If titles are generated as well, it gets stuck on Kingdom Tables.

Interestingly, despite this, it appears to make some progress on character creation (based on checking in game and checking the log), but only slowly. For instance; the average mod/game of CK2 takes like ten seconds for history to generate, in ten minutes DK is roughly halfway done.

Nivve, I downloaded your files, and did a generation with the same version of the mods and generator, with exactly the same settings, and it works fine. I can't, however, properly compare the history because the mod files I downloaded from your thread are not the same as you used. There is an extra title in the version I downloaded: c_podlasie, and a flag for d_podlasia which isn't defined.

The crashing files you provided seem to have the same issue as before, in that there's a Duchy of Europa republic with several republic's worth of patricians. The same issue also appears in the working version. In 2.0.10, I added some options to the rule set's "misc" section, one of which will prevent that by forcing the generator to use custom duchy titles. You'll need to use that if you want to have republics, because the generator will always attempt to create playable republics.

Necal, the problem was in the character creation. The problem is that the generator ran out of unique dynasties to use, and got stuck in an infinite loop. Sounds like the UI didn't get updated properly making it look like it got stuck elsewhere. I've uploaded 2.0.11 which fixes the loop issue.

Version 2.0.11
- Fixed infinite loop when generator has run out of dynasties.

Which files did you use of my thread? I used 2.63a (ck2+) of my own mod and 2.03.1 of CK2+.
I will look at podlasie, maybe there is something wrong with the title/history. I will also look at the republic of europa thing; Could it be that the generator will see the 'minimal republics = 10' and then spread the ten republican characters over all duchies (which is only europe, so they all end up there).

 

[Measter]

Those are the mod files I used; I went and re-downloaded them from your thread, just to make sure.

And yes, the generator is trying to use the De Jure liege of the republic's county. In normal cases this works fine, but in yours they all end up sharing the same title, which appears to cause problems.

When i install this mod I get 1 of 2 errors, it either cant find the install directory or an unhandled exception occurs in my application. Anyone know how to fix this?
2nd error says
object reference not set to an instance of an object
Sometimes it will say that it cannot find the install directory even though its in my steam folder

 

[Measter]

You have to set it to the same directory as the game's .exe file. For the second error, could you post the entire error please?

For some reason all four (edit: six) generations I have done with the latest version (2.0.11) have no crashing at all. This is with the republic change in the ruleset, so probably that could have been the cause.

Edit: still weird why some actually worked if that was/is the problem.

 

[Measter]

Glad to see it seems to be working, Nivve. DDM12 could you give me the contents of the log.txt file.

I've uploaded version 2.0.12, which adds some missing logging, and now uses a custom settings file. I'm sure I'm not the only one who got fed up with the UI settings getting wiped every version change, even when the settings to save haven't changed at all.

DDM12, this version will not fix your problem, but I believe the missing logging should help me find where the problem is. Could you download it and paste the log file here again, please?

Version 2.0.12
- Now outputs data loader errors when selecting the CK2 directory.
- Now using a custom settings file.

Am I accidentally doing something wrong? I think this should be all the necessary information, but tell me if you need more.

 

[unmerged(365702)]

works now, thanks man you are #1 in my heart.
Only way I can play Ck2 is with this mod

 

[melven200]

Can you/Should you use this with Lux Invicta?
