By converting failed, I mean that the game will not give the NI's to the kingdom level titles of the same name. Instead it will only give NI's for duchy level titles which means that if you convert the Kingdom of Burgundy as opposed to the Duchy of Burgundy you won't get the Burgundian NI. The converter will also use the duchy level flag instead of the (slightly more awesome looking) kingdom level flag when converting the flag over. In some cases if it matches the converted nation with one that already exists in EUIV it will give the converted country the EUIV flag instead which I don't think makes sense with certain converted nations.
I understand what you mean, and that's fixable, tough without seeing the code I cant say why its happening. I made a note to pay special attention to it when going over the title conversion tables for the next update. Tbh Burgundy is abit of a special case tough, you can talk about the CK2 duchy of Burgundy, the Kingdom of Burgundy or the EUIV Burgundy, and each is its own different thing. I'll have to think how I wanna approach that, I may end up creating a new country for CK2 Burgundy, we'll see. As I said, now that the converter is effectively working with VIET and there's no more "noculture" and "noreligion" going around, I'll start fine-tuning that, starting with title conversion and new religions, cant expect me to cram everything in the very first version
Don't forget to download the American music pack as well!
The official CKII-->EUIV converter is also available for download, credits to OrdepNM; the most current version of the converter as of this post is 1.0.1. Click here for the link.
VIET 1.4.1 is up and ready for download. This update is mostly stuff I planned to add in 1.4.0 but didn’t have time to, as well as bugfixes to a number of issues and bugs that cropped up in the huge update that was 1.4.0 - thanks all again for your help there! Additionally, thank you to all of those who responded to the survey - it has been very helpful indeed, and you can expect a few changes and additions in response to the information I got from that.
Key features of VIET 1.4.1:
More features for the Jews not added in 1.4.0
9 generic flavor events concerning memories, and 7 events from Zaldax concerning the Dance of Death
American music pack
Integration of Velorian's improved Mediterranean faces
Lots and lots of bugfixes and other fixes
And more!
Like always, I’ve tested both the vanilla and PB versions of the mod (as well as the portrait fix versions). Most of the known bugs and issues resulting from 1.4.0 should be fixed, although that, of course, doesn’t mean that I might have missed something here and there. The minor issue where the game keeps pausing for a split second every few weeks is still at large, as I haven’t been able to figure out what’s up with that.
Additionally, for those who haven’t seen it yet, OrdepNM has finished his work with the PB+VIET/VIET EU converter. It’s also compatible with Ancient Religions, and you can find the latest version from the link above. Remember to give OrdepNM a big pat on the back, it’s a lot of work doing the converter!
Lastly, VIET 1.4.0 was the first version of VIET - including unofficial versions - to surpass 2000 downloads. Yay! Now we just need to push for the 200 page thread mark.

Upcoming Plans
It appears I might have spoken too soon again, this time concerning the Muslim Republic update. The planned crown jewel of that, the complicated event chain where you go on trade missions to other parts of the world, will require a lot of time and effort, and I suppose I’m not sure whether I can finish even a third of it in a reasonable amount of time. As such, I’ve decided to work on the Muslim Republic stuff on the side while focusing mainly on other matters - that way I’ll get it done, eventually, without having to stress out too much about it.
1.4.2 and 1.4.3 will probably be more or less an extension of 1.4.0 and 1.4.1, just more stuff I wanted to do for 1.4.0 but didn’t, as well as a few additions and changes based on the feedback you guys gave me in the survey. Other than that, besides the change in how I’m dealing with the Muslim Republics, I am still aiming for the Slavic (pagan) update for November, around the time of the big DLC, and the Chinese/Khitan one in December, and PB+SWMH compatibility with either of those. I will probably do a small-medium-ish themed update in between now and November while I work on the Slavic update, but I am unsure what to focus on - it could be Baltic pagans, Zoroastrians/Persians, or something else completely like a revamp of the lover event chain. We’ll see.
I always kind of liked that event as a random bit of flavor and assumed that you already had taken it out as I never saw it in my last couple of VIET playthroughs. As I was already looking through Events to see how you had done something else ( :ninja: ) I took a quick look. The game can't figure out the trigger. It's checking to see if the siege_won_leader is the province owner and has 5 prestige, 10 piety and the just trait. Seems strange that would happen suddenly and I cannot figure out what it is about the trigger the game doesn't like.
Yeah, seems like it's been problematic. I've just removed it from the on_actions for now. I'll probably restore a revamped version of it at some point.

Hmm. Not sure why it's going haywire, but I'll just disable it since no one really liked it and I've been meaning to remove and replace it with something more useful
Restarted from my old save (before Liao and China)i noticed that the Empire of Britain still has no england added, is this because of my old 1.4.0 savegame? Also the Roman empire is not what its supposed to look like. I can make a pic if you want.
A decade in and i now see that the Liao empire has formed again. Same question, is this the old save?
* checked a fresh 1066 start with PB no ahistoric Emp. +VIET all modules. Same setup as for 1.4.0. Copied k_files to immersion\history\titels. This time there is no British empire whatsoever. But in the savegame it is like it was in 1.4.0.
For those who already downloaded the American music pack, there has been a slight oversight on my part concerning that. I would highly recommend deleting your current version and replacing it with the new version I've just uploaded.
Basically, I guess, if you want to think of it as a long-term thing for me to work on. If the Khitan/Chinese-update represents VIET's eagerness to explore the cultures of non-Christian Europe, then the Muslim Republic will hopefully represent the pinnacle of its flavor and roleplay. Haha. Maybe not. We'll see. Khitan/Chinese stuff will probably be easier to do, though, ironically.
I will only be doing a PB+SWMH version, and not a SWMH version. Having two more versions to maintain and test would be too much, so I'm opting for PB+SWMH given that the majority of VIET players play with PB and the majority of PB players play with SWMH. ETA for that would be around November or December, during or after the next big DLC; hopefully it'll also be when I get my themed updates ready then (Slavic for November, Khitan/Chinese for December).
Project Balance's imprisonment events will still function as they did, if that's what you're talking about. I'm talking about an even in vanilla VIET that allows you to take a little money and decide what to do with the survivors after winning a siege.
Thanks for your offer of assistance, but I think this is probably something where I'll have to unfortunately tackle myself - the main issue is simply coding all of the flavor events for that long-ass event chain. I intend for it to be very similar to a choose your own adventure in terms of scope and whatever, so it's going to probably end up being complicated. Right now with my generic flavor events I'm testing some more complex things code-wise, that I hope to be able to use in the Muslim Republic update. What I will probably need help with is testing the event chain, though, that's for sure.

Yes, unfortunately those bugs are probably because they are a 1.4.0 save. The history files (which, as you may have figured) control these things are, I guess, set in stone at the beginning of the game - so your old save is relying on 1.4.0's history, in a sense, and not 1.4.1's history, while a new game will rely on 1.4.1's.
Currently there are 5 music packs not in a compilation: Random Medieval 2, Finno-Ugric, English Renaissance 3, Jewish, and American. My custom is to do the compilations every 8 music packs, so the next compilation will come after three more music packs I guess.

That's too bad, i liked the way things were shaping up.
I think i know what is happening in the fresh 1.4.1. start with no ahistoric empires and no empire of britain showing up. I have PB activated last, since i deleted the 1.4.0 files and extracted the 1.4.1 files, the PB modfiles ended up last on the list. At least i know it does matter.
cybr buddy, could you change the link to the converter in the first post? It's still linking to the 1.0.0 version which might explain why it's getting much more downloads than the latest version. It's also false advertising as you're saying its AC compatible when in fact it's not
It's been pretty hard getting ideas for Slavic pagan features, given that information on that stuff is really scarce, but I think I have a few ideas going. We'll see how it does.
