There will be changes to the way I handle VIET when I come back; it shouldn't really affect most of you, but I think it is something that will be noticed. I will explain in detail in the future when I'm a bit better and perhaps when I'm preparing to "return".
I just wanna try to assure you guys that nothing drastic or anything is gonna happen here, despite how it may seem ominous. I was told what's going on via PM and it's completely understandable and will almost certainly have no impact on your appreciation of the mod. I'll leave it to cybr to tell you about it, but in the meantime I wouldn't want you to dread it as cybr possibly stepping down or, heaven forbid, making me lead modder :s
Lastly, I would like to thank you and give a big round of applause to OrdepNM for maintaining and updating VIET and answering any questions and comments you guys have. He has done a fantastic job while I've been gone, and I applaud his dedication even though he too, like all of us, has his real life commitments.
Heh, just don't go back to check the posts from the holiday season. Most can be summed up as "I dunno, I'm a whole continent away from my pc and getting drunk on irish whiskey and stout, gimme a break!" (slight exaggeration)
PSS VIET thread is more than three hundred pages!
Yup, we have a frenchie to add
You forget how the government types don't line up correctly, flags don't carry over correctly, NI's aren't assigned correctly, there are ugly core claims everywhere...
I meant problems that were directly caused by CoP, ie stuff that wasn't already there before the latest patch. Btw, while all the stuff you mentioned and more can be fixed, and I intend to do it in time, the cores issues is gonna be the end boss of devil-to-pay-ness given how it's hardcoded. I do have some ideas on what may be done about it, but I doubt we can get a proper free flow system, and I'm also wary that the fix can become more convoluted than what it's trying to fix.
Oh my. Sorry I hadn't known about that
Hope you may find the time to check it out then. It's not a game-ending export since it still works, though VIET-specific events not firing in EU4 is lame. Still, lemme know if/when you figure out what may be wrong.
Also, great to see you cybrx! You go get better, kick that illness to the curb, and come back in style. It's great to hear from you.
Don't worry, things are better now
Anyway my point is that between the holidays, taking over VIET and the occasional RL incident, the converter really took a nosedive, but as soon as the next VIET version comes up, which should likely be tomorrow, I'll go back to work on it.
yes i've got the newest patch, and i have all the portrait packs.
That's very weird, specially since no-one is reporting any such issue. Maybe I'd suggest a fresh install of the game and mod? There might also be something wrong with your video card?
As Cybr is currently indisposed, I guess I'll post the news.
VIET is to be part of the Historical Immersion Project which has just been announced:

Well, I'm here
It really is great that I can finally talk about HIP. As Meneth says in his announcement, VIET will be teaming up with several mods to give you a unified and seamless mod. Still, in terms of developing VIET, and as far as you'll see, it'll still be work as usual. For the HIP team tough, it'll be a massive boon to be able to sync releases, cooperate and be in close contact with each other. I hope you guys are interested in this new experiment
It's only a shame that Cybr's illness dictates we cannot have HIP at its full potential, but still, it's only a matter of time before he comes back and resumes working on bringing VIET to a state where it can be fully compatible with all the modules in HIP. At that time, I also expect to be able to introduce the HIP-EUIV converter, aka, the VIET->EUIV converter in overdrive. So, as you can see, there's great things in the horizon
(from HIP thread)
Cybr wanted to add it to the Slavic/Slavic Pagan Update of his, so it might be too soon still.
Ha, I see, better to wait for cybr then
