[Modding] Allow the Centers of Reformation to spawn anywhere

[Parmelion]

Approximately half a year ago, I was attempting to add Nestorian centers of reformation to my mod. The problem I've encountered is that no matter what I did, they would only spawn in Europe and not anywhere else. I suppose they are hardcoded to a particular continent.

I would like to kindly ask you to remove this restriction, or at least give us the modders a way around it. Thank you.

EDIT: Yes indeed, they seem to be tied to the center_of_religion province defined in each religious group in 00_religion.txt

I think developers specifically wanted to restrict them with Europe. In addition to this, countries outside Europe cannot join religious leagues. I am guessing that the developers wanted to recreate real history to some degree and didn't want to turn 30 Years War into a World War.

Though, I would love see the results if they allowed reformations to be formed outside Europe and non-Europeans to join Religious War

Yeah, I get the reason behind the restriction but it would be great if there was a way to get rid of it. Would open up so many possibilities for mods.

Actually, you can lift the restriction in the current version. Plz check the "can_have_center_of_reformation_trigger" codings in folder common\scripted_trigger. If you want to change how centre_of_reform for specified religions, you probably want to change all related codes in the common\religions folder.

Although I believe you have already tried, the file in "religious_conversions" folder would be necessary to make your religious centre work.

As shown below, I edited the trigger for my new religion conflicts between traditional Neo-Confucianism, Yangmingism and Chinese Classics (Jingxueism), so the two modded religions may spawn their centre of reform around continent "east-asia"(China, Manchuria, Japan, Mongol, Korea, Tibet etc.).

Hope it helps! Good luck in the new year!

Here is how I done it:

Thank you so much for your reply! I have tried editing can_have_center_of_reformation_trigger based on your example but I still cant get the center to spawn. I have it created in the religious conversions as well. Is there anything I'm missing? Do I have to edit something in 00_religion.txt as well? If so, what?

EDIT: even adding continent = asia into the OR makes it impossible to spawn it in Asia. However, the center of my new religion can spawn in Europe.

EDIT 2: The only thing that makes me able to spawn the center is changing the center_of_religion of the entire religion group in 00_religions.txt in common/religions to a province in Asia. So sadly, my point stands and it is hardcoded to the continent of the central province.

Sorry for the late reply, but I agree with you in EDIT 2. I didn't realize your problem is to spawn CoR in other continents. But, yeh, they can only spawn in the same continent as the central province defined in the religion file. My religion can spawn in the moded continent because of that.

However, editing the centre_of_religion file enables other religions, like Sunni of Islam and Shinto of the Eastern group to have their Centre of Religion if needed.
