Modding - Quick questions

[omega20056]

I'm getting a seemingly impossible error with this event. If I fire it using the console, it correctly says I don't satisfy the conditions, yet it still fires over and over if I play as any of the specified titles.

character_event = {
    id = theme.7

        hide_window = yes

    trigger = {
                independent = yes
                NOT = { has_landed_title = k_morea }
                NOT = { has_landed_title = k_epirus }
                NOT = { has_landed_title = k_thrace }
                NOT = { has_landed_title = k_macedon }
                NOT = { has_landed_title = k_trebizond }
                NOT = { has_landed_title = k_byzantium }
        NOT = { has_landed_title = e_trebizond }
        NOT = { has_landed_title = e_byzantium }
        NOT = { has_landed_title = e_western }
                NOT = { has_landed_title = e_thessalonika }
                NOT = { has_landed_title = e_roman_empire }
        any_realm_province =  {
            has_province_modifier = inactive_themes
                }
        }

    mean_time_to_happen = {
        days = 1
    }

    option = {
        name = OK
        any_realm_province = {
                limit = {
                    has_province_modifier = inactive_themes
                }
                remove_province_modifier = inactive_themes
            }
                }
        }

EDIT: I know why. The event is fine in all start dates and for all provinces other than post-1261 Constantinople because Genoa owns Galata, so the game is registering them as having the modifier while while not holding any of the specific titles. How would I have it ignore this? Would a "NOT = { tier = baron }" limit suffice?

 

[fanoI]

Yes that limit should be sufficient, maybe you could add a restriction based on Greek culture too...

Lo folks I write an decision about forming the Hansa, I basically lifted all the code from the for the HRE forming one. Yes i get loads of errors in the log about it.


they look like this:


[persistent.cpp:37]: Error: "Unexpected token: scaled_wealth, near line: 2276
" in file: "decisions/realm_decisions.txt" near line: 2276

Which is weird since all those unexpected tokens are extactly the same in the other decision.
Could anyone tell me what's wrong with it.

    form_the_hansa = {
        is_high_prio = yes
        potential = {
            is_playable = yes
            OR = {
                independent = yes
                liege = {higher_tier_than = king}
            }
            is_merchant_republic = yes
            religion_group = christian
            NOT = { has_global_flag = hansa_formed }
            year = 1000
        
        }
        allow = {
            is_adult = yes
            prisoner = no
            NOT = { trait = incapable }
            prestige = 500
            scaled_wealth = 1
            OR = {
                capital_scope = c_lubeck
                capital_scope = c_rostock
                capital_scope = c_hamburg
                capital_scope = c_gotland
                capital_scope = c_bremen

        }

            }
            primary_title = {
                k_hansa = {
                    grant_title = ROOT
                    copy_title_laws = PREV
                }

            any_demesne_title = {
                limit = {
                    tier = KING
                    NOT = {
                        title = k_hansa
                    }
                }
                destroy_landed_title = THIS
            }
            set_global_flag = hansa_formed
        }
        revoke_allowed = {
            always = no
        }
        ai_will_do = {
            factor = 1
            modifier = {
                factor = 500
                NOT = {
                    culture = german
                }
            }
            modifier = {
                factor = 1000
                NOT = {
                    higher_tier_than = duke
                }
            }
        }
    }

Oh and also, the relative power condition

relative_power = {
    who =
   value =
}

If I want the root to be twice as powerful as the target in order for it to evaluate to true is that a value =2 or a value = 0.5?


Edit: and while I'm at it in what context are if statements allowed?

There's a sandy ripply texture that appears at the bottom of the ocean when you turn off water, in terrain map mode. How do you change it? I'd rather it just be a flat color.

I would have thought it'd be underwater_terrain.dds, but it's not. Or at least it doesn't look like it, and doesn't make a difference when I make it tranparent.

 

[omega20056]

What stops pagan from declaring invasions on each other? As Telerig, I can invade Byzantium, but not pagan kingdoms.

I checked out the invasion CB and could find no restrictions based on religion.

nevermind. Figured it out. It's the bottom right texture in atlas0. GIMP and paint.net3 weren't importing in properly so I couldn't see it.

It's as if the alpha channel has some other function. So they appear mostly transparent.

I'm getting some odd errors in a modded plot I've just made.

Weird thing is, it was just working less than an hour ago and I haven't made any significant changes to it at all.

In the error log, I'm getting this:

[persistent.cpp:37]: Error: "Malformed token: yes, near line: 56
" in file: "common/objectives/dh-plots.txt" near line: 56
[persistent.cpp:37]: Error: "Malformed token: yes, near line: 70
" in file: "common/objectives/dh-plots.txt" near line: 70
[persistent.cpp:37]: Error: "Malformed token: yes, near line: 76
" in file: "common/objectives/dh-plots.txt" near line: 76
[persistent.cpp:37]: Error: "Malformed token: yes, near line: 79

[persistent.cpp:37]: Error: "Malformed token: no, near line: 84
" in file: "common/objectives/dh-plots.txt" near line: 84

Line 56, for example, is: "can_be_given_away = yes". One of the other lines is "always = yes". Why would it think that "yes" and "no" are malformed tokens? Is there possibly some text encoding issue going on, or what?

Need more information. Paste the whole file here.

Never mind; I was being stupid. I used "success_effect =" instead of "effect =" in the plot. Why this messed up other stuff, I don't know, but now it's working fine.

My other question, then: Is it possible in an event or decision script to actually check if a barony is a holy site of any religion? You can check to see if it's a holy site of a specific character, but not if it's considered one by any religion in the game.

Reason being, I'm working on a mod for converting holdings from one type to another. This works OK, but converting holy sites has some possibly unwanted implications. For example, if you convert another religion's holy site to a castle or city and they eventually get their hands on that holy site again, I'm not sure I'd be able to set up what would be necessary for them to convert it back.

How do title flags interact with activate_title? If I set a flag on a title, then deactivate it, will it still be there if I reactivate it? Will setting a flag on an inactive title do anything?

 

[DC123456789]

any_de_jure_vassal is a scope and cannot be directly compared. Try
any_de_jure_vassal = { title = k_saxony }.

you can limit the decision to exclude holy sites

limit = {
any_realm_title = {
is_holy_site = no
}
}

How would you check if a duchy has any coastal provinces?

 

[TheDungen]

How would you check if a duchy has any coastal provinces?

I'm guessing the port = yes condition could be useful. Havent managed to get a hang of the any_de_jure vassal scope yet though.

 

[notalbanian]

I figured out that any_realm_province will do the trick.

 

[G-Flex]

limit = {
any_realm_title = {
is_holy_site = no
}
}

Hrm, are you sure about this? According to the wiki, is_holy_site compares to a character, as opposed to being a boolean.

 

[jursamaj]

Why this messed up other stuff, I don't know, but now it's working fine.

Once there is any error in the script, anything and everything after that point can be messed up.

 

[TheDungen]

I figured out that any_realm_province will do the trick.

yeah that's what I usually end up using too.

 

[TheDungen]

I just went into the titles files and made the duchy of gotland and the duchy of soccotra real duchies. Now the flags of several countries are wrong. Abyssinia uses some kind of red blue wavy lines, and france use the berry one. Is it because the location of title in the file is somehow used to assign them their flags?

 

[DC123456789]

Yes, it is in the cache. Just delete your flag cache, let it reload and you'll be fine.
