[MOD] Vanilla Immersion, Events, and Traits - A Modular Flavor and Tweak Mod

[AnaxXiphos]

In addition to revamping the heresy icons, I've also been working on some of my older icons. Here's a new Buddhist option, designed to look a lot like the EU4 Buddhist icon. (Note, however, that it's drawn from scratch, and not a re-sized version of the converter icon.)



Here's a sample of what I'm working on for Hindu:

Thanks. Fever dreams can be interesting...

You should record them in a tape recorder and add them to the mod as events when your character is sick

Sad to hear you have been sick. Hope you get well soon.

I posted a fix regarding the Zoro Head of Church and Zoro Holy Order not vassalising properly before, but upon further play testing I found the fix only worked when called from console (ouch!).

So after tearing my hair out and staring at lines of codes for hours on end I finally fixed this up. God I have to say that it makes me appreciate both the P'dox devs and you so much more. This one single event had me almost in tears.

BTW, how exactly would I go making the Emperor of Persia the dejure liege of the Immortal Holy Order? I wonder if that wouldn't have been a more elegant fix.

I can also make cool religious icons

Looks good. I've been meaning to ask which, if any, of the new religions needs EU4 versions. I've finally started trying to produce them as a normal part of my workflow.

Speaking of which, here's a better version of the East African Pagan icon for EU4. Now that I've actually looked at how they're put together and everything:

Right now I already have icons for the cathars, yazidi, druze, gnostic, ibadi, miaphysite, nestorian, jewish and samaritan. Everything else is using someone else's icons and could use a new one.

Do bear in mind that many,many of the heresies, namely the muslim and orthodox ones, never quite had any unique iconography, so Im very unrestricted in terms of accuracy. If you give me a crescent design that different enough from the ones already in use, I can easily assign it to one of the multiple heresies, for example. Some, like the waldensians, fraticelli, karaite and messianics I already know what I want, and I can make those. I'll try making a complete list of what's completely up for grabs later, but as I said, most orthodox heresies and muslim sects are.

Thanks for the help

A list somewhere would be perfect, especially if you included some suggestions about what you think might be suitable. At the very least it would let me easily see if anything I have lying around would work.

And since I'm on a roll, sample of a possible new East African Pagan icon:

Sure, Ill have a list with some recommendations either later tonight or tomorrow, tough many will be simply "do what you want "

Hmmm, Is that east african icon different from the one you already made?

Well, it's the same design, but accomplished somewhat differently. Probably would show up better side by side:


New / Old

There's also a slightly improved EU4 version a couple of posts above, if ya didn't catch it.

Hello guys,

I'm facing a little issue and would need some help. I made a search on this thread but no one seems to really have the same issue. I'm getting all my MALE children to die in the first days after their birth. This occurs only for rulers that I use the cutomization ruler option at the launch of the game.

I'm playing VIET BP compatible mod only.

Anyone has any idea ?

(I'm posting here as i haven't found a dedicidated thread for bugs).

It's so sexy the Sunni icon has turned green with envy!

 

[Sleight of Hand]

Sir, you truly are the icon king. Mucho respectos (thats proper Spanish btw).

 

[DarkReborn]

Mucho respectos (thats proper Spanish btw).

I can confirm that. Though the proper sentence is "Tacos siesta mucho respectos sombrero".

Que cosa? :huh:

Ha Ok now I see it, Ill see about changing the icons Btw, dunno if you're aware but for EUIV I need both a 32 and 64 version of the icons. If theyre shared with VIET I can simply use that one, but Converter exclusives will need both versions from scratch.

Flattery will get you nowhere! I mean, everywhere! Los pollos de la noche!

Gotcha, good to know. Fortunately the East African icon is shared, and the new version is a lot more like the flag/EU4 version, so that works out nicely.

Wow those icons are wonderful!

By the way, I think I noticed a bit of an error with the West Africa Map Changes customization. I have used the option to add the ability to use boats for West Africa's coastal provinces but the boats do not seem to appear correctly. I believe that the boats seem inside the province rather than out on the coast, but I could be wrong.

Spoiler

I did replace the vanilla VIET provinces.bmp file with the one in the customization options. Unless there was more I should have done, I don't believe I did the installation incorrectly.

I don't actually see a port on the coast in the province of Gambia there, so it's most likely somewhere inland.

Feature suggestion that I just copy/pasted from another thread:

In tandem with the suggested changes in the SWMH thread for desert provinces, you might be interested in making either an event/decision for scorched earth tactics for Mongol characters. The il-Khanids went apes**t all over Central Asia with that stuff. And, if you can code at the province level with modifiers, it might make the il-Khans a little more dynamic. (Or anyone who wants to do that? Would be neat to see an event chain that players' outlooks can escalate to such a level. Like, prevent normal characters from being able to do it at first, and have them slowly escalate in aggression to point of doing such a thing.)

I'm studying for my exams right now (And thus procrastinating on wikipedia) But shouldnt 867 scotland use tanistry succession? Or does it already? I havent played Scotland in a long time.
