Modding - Quick questions

Is there a simple way to preform a mass edit of the positions.txt file? i want to shift the entire map over by a few pixels and was wondering if theres a way to increment every X value in positions.txt by the same number all at once rather than manually calculating and inputting the new values several thousand times

Wouldn't be very hard with a Python script…

How to get variable into log?

How can i get graphical_culture of character?

I have problem while creating custom dynasty for AGOT mod, i want character with culture "western_valyrian", but i want it to display in game as culture "northman"
Have a look

1000000 = {
    name="Jon"
    dynasty=1000000
    father=1000022
    mother=27107
  
    religion="old_gods"
    culture="western_valyrian"
  
    8016.8.5={
        birth="8016.8.5"
        effect = { culture = northman }
    }
    8032.8.5={add_trait=brilliant_strategist add_trait=skilled_warrior  add_trait=greensight add_trait=ambitious add_trait=brave add_trait=honest}
    8052.1.3={
        death = {
            death_reason = death_battle
        }
    }
}

I made it just like some characters in history folder but still in game character displays as "Western Valyrian" and not as "Northman"

 

[Korbah]

1000000 = { #I'd use a lower ID if you can, as low as possible.
name = "Jon"
dynasty = 1000000
father = 1000022
mother = 27107

religion = "old_gods"
culture = "western_valyrian"
8016.8.5 = {
birth = yes
culture = northman
}
}
8032.8.5 = { #Your traits
}
8052.1.3 = {
death = { death_reason = death_battle }
}
}

Something like that should work.

I'm making an event where only de_jure duchy tier vassals of k_greece stay as vassals of Byzantium, where everyone else becomes independent.

How can I do this with the proper scopes?

 

[DC123456789]

I'm making an event where when the Byzantine empire no longer controls d_thrace and Constantinople, the event fires, and only vassals under the de jure of k_greece stay apart of the realm.

So far I have this:

namespace = d_b
character_event = {
    id = d_b.1
    desc = EVTDESCd_b.1
 
    trigger = {
        AND = {
            c_constantinople = {
                holder_scope = {
                    NOT = {
                        has_landed_title = e_byzantium
                        any_liege = {has_landed_title = e_byzantium }
                        }
                    }
                }
            d_thrace = {
                holder_scope = {
                    NOT = {
                        has_landed_title = e_byzantium
                        any_liege = { has_landed_title = e_byzantium }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
 
    immediate = {
        e_byzantium = {
            holder_scope = {
                k_nicaea = {
                    grant_title = PREV
                }
            }
        }
    }
 
    option = {
        name = EVOPTAd_b.1
        k_nicaea = { copy_title_history = e_byzantium }
        k_nicaea = { copy_title_laws = e_byzantium }
        activate_title = { title = k_nicaea status = yes }
        e_byzantium = {
            any_vassal ={
                if = {
                    limit = {
                        any_de_jure_vassal_title = {
                            k_greece
                        }
                    }
                    set_defacto_liege = k_nicaea
                }
                if = {
                    limit = {
                        NOT = {
                            any_de_jure_vassal_title = {
                                k_greece
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    set_defacto_liege = THIS
                }
            }
        }
    }
 
    after = {
        hidden_tooltip = {
            e_byzantium = { destroy_landed_title = THIS }
        }
    }
}

So the problems with this code are:

• I can only fire the event manually, and the triggers don't seem to work. Am I using the wrong scopes?
• The part where I assign my old vassals who are de jure of k_greece doesn't work. In fact, every single vassal becomes independent, which doesn't make much sense, considering I still have a kingdom title and vassal dukes should remain vassals. What are the proper scopes for this part?

Thanks

You either need a mean_time_to_happen block or a is_triggered_only = yes line and firing it from somewhere else (an on_action, another event, etc.) - this may be why it's not triggering (but there's a syntax error in your option, which is the more likely culprit).

The conditions in your options are incorrect; it checks (or would, ignoring the syntax error) if any of your vassals has k_greece as their de jure vassal, not their de jure liege. What you should have is:

        e_byzantium = {
            any_vassal ={
                if = {
                    limit = {
                        dejure_liege_title = {
                            title = k_greece
                        }
                    }
                    set_defacto_liege = k_nicaea
                }
                if = {
                    limit = {
                        NOT = {
                            dejure_liege_title = {
                                title = k_greece
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    set_defacto_liege = THIS
                }
            }
        }

Hey guys, I've got a strange problem with the total conversion mod I am currently working on. It's been working fine on single-player but I discovered that trying to launch a multi-player session just crashes the game. To be exact, it happens after clicking the "Host" button on the game settings window. Any ideas? I can attach the mod files if it helps. Thanks again.

 

[Nitraus]

The conditions in your options are incorrect; it checks (or would, ignoring the syntax error) if any of your vassals has k_greece as their de jure vassal, not their de jure liege. What you should have is:

       e_byzantium = {
            any_vassal ={
                if = {
                    limit = {
                        dejure_liege_title = {
                            title = k_greece
                        }
                    }
                    set_defacto_liege = k_nicaea
                }
                if = {
                    limit = {
                        NOT = {
                            dejure_liege_title = {
                                title = k_greece
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    set_defacto_liege = THIS
                }
            }
        }
}

This isn't working still. I cannot figure out why, but de jure dukes of Greece are still not staying vassals k_nicaea.

Also, the event keeps firing at the mtth, meaning the trigger just doesn't work.

If you can figure out whats wrong with the event (which the validator can't), then you are doing me god's work. thanks.

Pretty sure the game won't like MTTH months=0. Just do days=1.

In your trigger, you're testing that the holder of c_byzantion himself has e_byzantium *and* one of his lieges has e_byzantium. Likewise for the holder of d_thrace. Inside each holder scope, put the 2 tests for e_byzantium in an OR.

In the option, you do any_vassal under e_byzantium. That will only get the emperor's direct vassals, which are mostly kings, thus can't be de jure under k_byzantium.

I'm struggling a bit with nomads. I hope you can help.

1) My current nomad realm is small - just six provinces, and four clans - two have two provinces each, and the other two each have one. I get a 'Too many clans' error, even if I set NDefines.NNomad.PROVINCES_PER_CLAN = 1 in the override defines file. How can I get rid of it?
2) For just this one culture, I would like an alternative term for 'Clan'. I don't need the Clan screen renamed or anything like that; I just want it so that clans for this culture are 'Clan-alternative Foo' instead of 'Foo Clan'. I've experimented a bit with doing this through customisable localisation, but it doesn't seem to work.
3) I've created titular duchies for my Khan-equivalents, and a titular kingdom for my Khagan-equivalent, but they appear as available for the Khagan-equivalent to create, rather than being given to the characters named in their title histories; except that the kingdom-level title both shows as the Khagan-equivalent's primary title, and as available for him to create.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks,

nd

Do you mean that instead of e_byzantium it should be k_byzantium? Other than that, I tried using an any_realm_character which still didn't work, and made one of the limits tier = DUKE to only work on Dukes, but that still doesn't work.

Game dont see this event. It is initialized by the console, but is only an error message on the ID. ID must be good, because "byzsla_slavic_event_spec.56" work correct.

Spoiler

province_event = {
   id = byzsla_slavic_event_spec.57
   desc = desc_byzsla_slavic_event_spec.57
   picture = GFX_evt_slavic_tribal
   border = GFX_event_normal_frame_economy
   
   is_triggered_only = yes
   
   option = {
       name = optA_byzsla_slavic_event_spec.57
       add_province_modifier = {
           name = byzsla_stolica_2
           duration = 750
       }
       owner = {
           prestige = -50
       }
   }
}

Whole event file or it didn't happen

Really though, it could be that the event preceding that one has a syntax error or some other issue, so while it may seem like the previous event is working it might well be breaking everything after it in the event file.

 

[moscal]

I remade the event chain from province_event to character_event and work good.

This is strange...

It's been awhile since I've tested province events, but I think you had to use a decision or character event to fire the province one on your capital. I believe the console is character scope. You can try removing is_triggered_only while testing (since you don't have trigger conditions anyway), the event should just pop up then.

Might be a way to shift scope to provinces or titles in the console but I haven't the foggiest how.

Nitraus: I'm pretty sure part of your problem is that you grant k_nicaea before activating it.

My suggestions:

namespace = fob

    id = fob.01

        days = 1
    }

            NOT = {
                k_nicaea = {
                    has_title_flag = fob
                }
            }
            c_byzantion = {
                holder_scope = {

How resource intensive are triggered modifiers, and is it always more reasonable to use event modifiers assigned through maintenance events instead?

How resource intensive are triggered modifiers, and is it always more reasonable to use event modifiers assigned through maintenance events instead?

Simply put; triggered_modifiers are checked every day against every landed character in the world while events are checked every 20 days against landed characters and every 50 days for courtiers by default.
100 triggered modifiers will have a more noticeable impact than 100 maintenance events when it comes to speed, additionally triggered modifiers are notorious for causing desync issues in multiplayer.

Source: I was insane and Elder Kings at one point had around a hundred triggered modifiers. It was bad, very bad.
