Modding - Quick questions

[RedRooster81]

I didn't change the number of provinces, it still remains one province, just the main part with an off shore island, like how the isle of wight is represented as part of Wessex.

I think that when I did this same thing for MOB, I just drew the color of the nearby sea province over the bit of land I wanted submerged. Probably not the proper way, but it did the job.

I just wanted to make the Isle of Thanet an island, off the coast, but still part of the province Kent, like the Isle of Wight is part of Wessex, or all those western Scottish Isles, so I altered each file exactly the same. rivers.bmp, terrain.bmp, provinces.bmp, topology.bmp, and the colormap.dds. Now when I try to start it crashes on calculating paths. Is there anything else that needs changing?

I'm pretty sure at least one of your files is not in the proper format (some are 24-bit, others 8-bit indexed, normal height is greyscale, etc.). Try removing them one by one and see if you find the offending file.
The map may look weird without all files edited, but it should not crash just because your land province is not at the right height etc..

I have always thought of this as the proper way. Slaxl, have you checked your graphics log? You may have drawn the island over the position of a nearby port, or army, or ship.

It seems to crash on adjacencies, according to the logs. No errors reporting, but it gets as far as adjacencies before stopping, which would make sense with a creating paths crash, I guess. I don't see why though, since there should be no extra adjacency needed in adjacencies.txt, just as there isn't for Wessex to the Isle of Wight, or the Isles around Scotland.

Interestingly I decided to try it on the vanilla map in case there was a problem with my new files, and it had exactly the same error. I've checked the bits with vanilla and other mods, they all match up, 8bit for some, 24bit for others.

I drew this map from scratch with some islands around, they work fine. It's just this one I'm adding in now, it's bizarre.

I'll try again tomorrow. I'm probably missing something obvious my tired brain refuses to see Thanks.

Can you force peace by using an event or decision?

 

[jordarkelf]

Can you force peace by using an event or decision?

Yes, by doing something like this in person scope:

any_war = {
		limit = {
			defender = {
				character = ROOT
			}
			attacker = {
				same_realm = ROOT
			}
		}
		end_war = invalid
	}

You can use any war ending condition there, such as whitepeace, success, fail, reverse_demand, invalid.

And I got another question...
What command can be used to move a character from his present location to another province, specifically, the province that another character is at. Some kind of command like "change_location" or anything like that?

 

[Sol717]

It should be title_prefix, not titleprefix.You also seem to be missing a linebreak on the first line of localisation.

Well, the message being without a line break was a copy and paste mistake.The csv file is called britannia.csv and the path is Crusader Kings II>common>mod>(mod folder)>localisation>britannia.csv.

That's a tricky one IMHO. Search your /event folder and you'll come across the <banish> function. There is an event to banish a character who wants to get married ("Your sister is concerned that she is still not married" or some such) to a bishopric in your demesne. I've tried the longest time to get people to move to where they are needed, but so far no luck on my end.

I'm trying to make a trait that makes you immune to incapable. Is there a better way than going trough all events that gives incapable and add a check for my trait?

I tried the abdicate decision posted few pages ago, but it's kind of useless because it always kills my ruler aswell. I pause the game, abdicate, heir succeeds and everything seems great. As soon as i unpause my old ruler is dead. If i wanted to just kill him i wouldn't need to have a decision for it, i could just open the console and type "kill xxxxxxxx". Is there a way to make him abdicate and also keep him alive?

Is it possible to set a character's/realm's capital as different to the de jure capital?

 

[jordarkelf]

Is it possible to set a character's/realm's capital as different to the de jure capital?

As a player? Just click the 'Make Capital' button. For the AI, no.

No.

Hi,
I found this piece of code in one of the cb_types files, specifying who can use a cb:

	ROOT = {
			OR = { 
				ai = no
				AND = {
					NOT = { trait = charitable }
					NOT = { opinion = { who = FROM value = -25 } }
					OR = {
						trait = greedy
						trait = arbitrary
						trait = ambitious
						NOT = { opinion = { who = FROM value = 0 } }
					}				
					OR = {
						trait = greedy
						NOT = { opinion = { who = FROM value = 25 } }
					}
				}
			}
		}

The thing is... I'm not sure I follow its logic.
Does it make sense to you? My lack of "code-reading" might be getting to me...

 

[jordarkelf]

Makes perfect sense. ROOT is the aggressor, so this OR block allows:
-the player (ai = no)

OR this:
Non-charitable
Does not have -25 or higher opinion of the victim (FROM)
and one of the four:
either greedy, arbitrary, ambitious, or less than 0 opinion
and one of these:
either greedy or less than 25 opinion.

So the basic AI for who this matches is a greedy person with 24 or less opinion of his victim.

 

[ash001]

Thanks, Jordarkelf.
I followed what you wrote - but let me ask you:
what happens if the character AI is not greedy, but ambitious?
His opinion on the victim would have to be below 25...?

 

[jordarkelf]

Yeah you have to match one item from both OR blocks.

I've tried the longest time to get people to move to where they are needed, but so far no luck on my end.

I got what I needed out of that. I didn't want them leaving their lovers in my court is what happened. I ended up making an event to send them to their lovers by forcing them to get married.

I found that same-sex marriages are possible too. I've created events that make this happen. Even possible to procreate with a same sex partner... among other things... Damn I'm kinky but I have a fantasy world where women are marrying women all over the place... I wonder if I can post these mods here. Kind of scared cause they do skirt 'adult rated' content.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have something like this then ->

-the player (ai = no)

OR this:
Non-charitable
Does not have -25 or higher opinion of the victim (FROM)
OR one of the three:
either greedy AND less than 0 opinion, arbitrary AND less than 0 opinion, ambitious AND less than 0 opinion,
OR one of these:
either greedy AND less than 25 opinion.
