Modding questions

[Gwax23]

Hey guys working on a submod for HIP had a few questions.

1) Where can I define a religion's holy sites? Want to change the Jewish holy sites to be more accurate.
2) How can I define random dynasty/last name titles for newly created culture. Otherwise they all appear as "Smith"
3) How can I make the mod modular?

1) Where can I define a religion's holy sites?

Wiki page

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that you can use baronies rather than counties for holy sites now that Paradox has fixed a bug associated with the destruction of holy-site baronies, but I don't have time to research it at the moment.

2) How can I define random dynasty/last name titles for newly created culture.

At a cursory glance, it seems that you need only (1) add a dynasty to a file in common/dynasties, (2) set the culture = "___" value, and (3) ensure that the new dynasty doesn't have the line used_for_random = no.

Doesnt HIP change the file structure for a lot of things compared to vanilla? Like I cannot see the holy sites in HIP as they are in vanilla.

All the holy sites were moved to a separate file, z_holy_sites.txt--in order to make submodding easier, IIRC.
