Really? I've looked into that file and there are no naming rules for other pagan religions that do have custom names, such as baltic paganism.

Unfortunately it requires going through customizable_localization, and it is a messy bitch of a thing to edit. It took me a hell of a long time to work out how to get it working, but it does eventually work. The file in question is 00_divinity_custom_loc. Good luck.
On an adventure I go! Also, bit of a newbie question, but how can I modify a file without overwriting it? in order to avoid compatibility problems. How could I modify the 'GetActualBishopTitle' variable to just add the condition for my custom religion, without having to overwrite the entire file/the variable?
You definitely don't want to be overwriting any of Paradox's files. That way leads to your own copy potentially broken and it won't be saving anything in your mod directory.
I started with this video, which got me set up with a good text editor that helps browse the existing file structure and copy/paste files into my own mod directory where needed. I highly recommend it as it patiently walks you through the basics without assuming you know... anything. Plus it's only a half-hour long so it stays on topic.
The general rule is that anything new you want to add to an existing structure, say, a religion, can be in its own unique file so long as it is saved in a mimic of the correct folder. So I have entirely new files for my Roman, Egyptian and (edited) Hellenic religions in my mod\common\religion\religions folder. This way it doesn't futz with all the other faiths and religions in the game and the Hellenic one overrides the original Hellenic religion data while the mod is active, but doesn't overwrite anything.
(that said I made a boo-boo at the start by not having Roman and Hellenic as two faiths of the same religion but when I tried to fix that I did it so badly I nearly broke the whole thing so I'm not in any rush to try again)

Many thanks! I will check that video out. I've been creating separate files for my mod already, but as I understand it to add the custom name for the court chaplain you have to replace the variable, since you cannot modify its code 'on the fly.' I'll see if the video answers my question.
It doesn't for that specific problem. The tutorial mod that he makes it simply for adding traits, but he spends plenty of time on 'good practice' and also how to fix the sorts of problems that can be easily made.
How can I set a trigger to be whether england is ruled by a character of the Frankish culture group?
Would something like this work:
Also, scopes. I just cannot wrap my head around what exactly they are and how they work.

title:k_england = {

Just a disclaimer that I am rather new to modding. I made some personal mods for CKII but that was a few years ago so I have to re-learn some stuff (and CKIII has more complex scripting). So take this with a grain of salt. But I was just browsing a file (global_culture_events) and it has something similar to what you're trying to do. So following the logic in that file, it'd be:
Code:
trigger = {
title:k_england = {
exists = holder
holder.culture_group = culture_group:frankish
}
}

I made an interpunction error there. It should be "holder.culture_group = culture_group:frankish", not holder.culture_group = culture_group.frankish". Edited the previous post.
On a side note, this title:tile_name = { exists = holder } thing helped me solve an issue with my mod. I wanted the event I made to destroy the kingdom of Bavaria if it had a holder. But the way I coded it had a certain flaw. While it did destroy Bavaria if it existed, it absolutely messed everything in the file after that. Even separate events. To the point they didn't work even if I tried triggering them with the console. But now all of that seems to work just as I wanted it to.

Im trying to change the convert culture action such that the AI will only convert counties if one of the following is true :
-they own the county directly
-the county holder is a direct vassal of the councillor's liege AND it is the vassal's capital county
How do you do the trigger for this?
I tried this, but it does not work (the AI always refuses to convert culture) :
-they own the county directly
-the county holder is a direct vassal of the councillor's liege AND it is the vassal's capital county
How do you do the trigger for this?
I tried this, but it does not work (the AI always refuses to convert culture) :
Code:
if = {
# If not holder, only convert the capitals of direct vassals
limit = {
NOR = {
scope:county.holder = scope:councillor_liege #checks if the liege owns it directly
scope:county.holder = {
is_vassal_of = scope:councillor_liege #checks if the holder is a direct vassal of the liege
}
scope:county.holder.capital_county = scope:county # checks if the holder's capital_county is scope:county
}
}
multiply = 0
}
Thanks for the help on Gimp I reinstalled 2.8 and it works.
Another question. I am sure I read somewhere that you can hide the small coa icon which is near the player character's feet in the event window. However i can't find the source anymore. Anybody know how to do this?
While I'm only 1/4th into the video so far, holy hell, that Atom editor is amazing. Being able to add the entire game folder into the project and then look for certain values throughout all of these files is a godsend. Thanks to that I finally found the solution to my issue of not being able to add a clickable name of my custom region to a custom tooltip.
For future reference for anyone who wants to do something like that, you do this directly in the localization file, with no need for custom localization scope in whatever file you put the connection to the localization value in. And the line is:
Code:
[GetGeographicalRegion('region_name').GetName]There's whooping one line of localization in the entire game that uses it (and a mention of this modding option being added in the colossal 1.1 patch notes) so I likely wouldn't have found it otherwise.

Hey folks,
I'm trying to figure out how to replicate the behaviour of the "decorated dupatta" headgear which makes the top half of indian clothing disappear when both are equipped. But i have searched for hours and couldn't figure out where that interaction is specified in the code. Could you help me out here?

I'm trying to put a condition in a decision that means you need a certain number of counties inside your realm with a particular religion, but I can't get the syntax right - if I'm even using the right command. I've been trying with
num_county_followers but I dunno, there may be an easier way. Any ideas?
Something like this should do the trick, adjusted as necessary.
Code:
any_realm_county = {
count >= 30
faith = faith:bosnian_church
}It didn't quite work, or at the very least gave a very confusing in-game description in the decision. However! Just before seeing your reply I tested:
Code:
faith:roman_pagan = {
num_county_followers >= 10
}- and that seems to have done the trick.
Just be careful that's not counting all counties globally, not just the ones in your realm.
Wouldn't that check all counties and not just those in your realm?
Probably! I'll give the other method another whirl tomorrow and weigh them up against each other, but it doesn't seem like it's necessarily a bad thing. If Roman religion is catching on elsewhere and a ruler has taken the risk of converting to it, then changing to Roman culture shouldn't necessarily be a problem. It's an expensive decision at 1000 prestige, so it's not really in reach of counts, and even dukes are going to have to work for it.
I'm in the middle of a big playtest of the mod, and I can say definitively that following this through and converting to Romulism (I know, it's not a great name) is a huge risk, being inevitably surrounded on all sides by powerful Christian or Muslim realms. So even reaching the point where the decision is visible is difficult, and being able to actually go through with it is yet another challenge.
(also featured: convert to Hellenism or ancient Egyptian. But not by the AI for the time being. I don't think it would make a difference anyway)
