VIET 1.5.1->EUIV Converter link will be posted ASAP.​

New update up. Probably one of the more bugfix-heavy updates in a while. Many thanks to everyone who helped find bugs/issues and fix them. For PB+VIET users, I've removed the Traits module since Traits has already been integrated into PB for a while, so you won't need it.

Key features of VIET 1.5.1:

• 6 bug-related flavor events (bugs as in insects - punny, don’t you think?)
• Random Medieval 4 Music pack
• Holy Order decisions and flavor for VIET’s Holy Orders
• Bugfixes
• And more!

Vanilla and PB VIET (and their portrait fix versions) are tested and seem stable. Although I believe this update covers a lot of the bugs and issues reported for 1.5.0, there may still be quite a number lurking out there, due to the many changes introduced by SoA and vanilla patch 2.0, so feel free to report on any suspicious activity.

Upcoming Plans

Hopefully with 1.5.1 I cleared out many of the major bugs and issues VIET got with the update to SoA/vanilla patch 2.0. There may still be a number, however, so please feel free to provide any bug reports or feedback as always.

I will probably have one (or even two, or three) smaller updates, but since most of the main hurdle of updating to SoA/2.0 appears to be over for now, it’s time for me to blast ahead full speed towards the Khitan/Chinese update. Those of you who have modding knowledge may even notice a little bit of codework I’ve started for the Chinese-themed update. Anyhow, I’m quite excited for this, even though it won’t be as substantial as I hoped.

Are we supposed to use the PB Traits module from update 1.5?

I've removed it since it's technically been integrated into Pb for a while now, so you don't need it.

Actually I'll make a note of that in the original post so people don't get confused.

 

[Imperator1993]

Just wondering if you have plans for a Islam expansion cybrx, I would love to see how you can integrate Sufism into the game, Islamic mysticism anyone .

 

[Ecnahc]

Cool. Is that also what happened to the Core module?

Nothing specifically targeting Islam per se, though some of the other updates will probably touch on them indirectly (the Iranian and Muslim Republic themed updates for instance). I will try to see though whether I can add in a few flavor events here and there, some substantial (I have an Ibn Battuta-inspired event chain being planned, for instance).

Cool. Is that also what happened to the Core module?

The Core modules was integrated into the Immersion module since the former wasn't really doing much anyways, and most of its stuff was already in Immersion or moved into Immersion.

 

[Polskers]

What is this...? *Sniff, sniff*

An update?

*Rabid dog mode*

In all seriousness - Cheers for the update. Looks good, and can't wait to test it out.

 

[milkan]

Hot damn yes! Nice to see another update from my favourite mod. VIET - the gift that keeps on giving
So many new things to see and whats with these bug/insect flavoured events I wonder...
Guess I'll never get all the achievements now considering VIET has spoiled me so..

 

[Saintrl]

Woohooo another update!

On that note I probably should stop playing CK2 and work on modding EUIV some more... Awww who am I kidding? I'll procrastinate away on VIET all day!

(Dammit Cybr y u make VIET so fun?! You should take a break one of these days and make something for EUIV...)

 

[SBolshevik]

Since the Cathars and Bogumils were similar, could they have a unique event where the two unite and become wholly independent from other Christian branches?

 

[Furion Matsuya]

Would it be possible to create some simple event chains that touch on Norse river trade flavor wise, sort of like how republics can loose ships and thus gold via event/event chains "haven't play republics often so I haven't seen much of the content they have"

 

[Ruskhan]

what is "Customization Options for 1.5.0"?

 

[Thnygaard]

any plans for a persian-zorastian update in the future?

 

[Sleight of Hand]

'Bosnian-Occitan Holy Alliance'

 

[Ruskhan]

"Tweaked Nerge description to account for non-Mongols participating"

it still mentioning mongol warriors even thought i play as Pecheneg

 

[SBolshevik]

'Bosnian-Occitan Holy Alliance'

:rofl:

 

[DarkReborn]

That sounds like some kind of state that would emerge in a 1984-esque scenario; "We have always been at war with the Bosnian-Occitan Holy Alliance".

 

[Teutonic_Thrash]

any plans for a persian-zorastian update in the future?

Yes, he's planning to do a general Iranian update after the Slavic one, which comes after the Chinese/Kitan update.

 

[PureRok]

The install instructions talk about going into a customization folder if you don't have all of the faces. Well, I don't have that folder (in the latest release), nor do I have all of the face packs, so all of the Mediterranean people have black boxes. Has this been changed and there's another thing I'm supposed to do, or do I really have to buy the potato head pack?

E: I went ahead and bought the Mediterranean face pack anyway. It was the only DLC I didn't have. I'll just live with it.

 

[janops]

I'm running viet and for some reason i cant form the latin empire...the decision is there, but when i press it nothing happens..
