Modding - Quick questions

[Maleficus]

I've had just about enough of this utterly ridiculous faction system where people who like me +100 are still joining factions to depose me. Any way I can mod who will/won't join factions?

You can choose who can loot and who can not in 00_religions.txt in the religion folder in the common folder. Add to the religion you want this line: "allow_looting = yes". You can also mod who can use river movement here.

Now, do you have to add this for ALL religions(I.E Heresies and such), or just the 'parents'(Catholic, Muslim, etc)? I'm trying to make it so EVERYONE can Raid.

You'll probably have to do it for all of them; to my knowledge to religion features carry down to heresies.

Anyway to make it possible to give eunuchs land again?

If you're using a namespace, you don't need to use numbered events.

ok so how would it look after making those changes please ??

Just make sure to put "namespace = pinkernes" at the top of the file and it should work fine.

Don't know about the modding side, but joining while having a +100 relationship may happen as the faction leader has used his spymaster to make/convince this character to join.
You can use your spymaster as well to reverse this. Just sayin' in case you don't know.

You're right, I don't know. How is that done?

As far as I can tell, factions are ridiculously overpowered, and need a lot of balancing both in terms of who will join AND things to do to work against them....

Thats it ? Awesome thanks mate

When you got a faction with several members, check who has the most military and use your spymaster (left option) to convince him to leave or murder him, assuming he has been 'convinced' by the faction leader.
If you got more questions gameplay related, please post them in the general forum or/and Quick Answers thread.
Sorry, i still don't know about the modding side.

ok so i now have the event triggering but its coming up blank ???

 

[Teutonic_Thrash]

What exactly is now making the steppe nomads, nomadic? All I've seen is the allow_looting line in religions.txt.

 

[Math2]

Stick something like this in can_use:
NOT = { has_character_modifier = holy_war_cooldown }

And make a segment like this:
on_add = {
ROOT = {
add_character_modifier = {
name = holy_war_cooldown
duration = 1825
}
}
}

Edit: That is, assuming you're talking about CBs.

I was, and thanks, but I got it just before I looked here

Thanks again

I'm playing TOG with the High Chief of Greater Poland, formed Poland and now the gavelkind succession wants to give away my capital Gniezno to my youngest, since the de jure capital of Poland is Kraków, which I don't even control. Historically Gniezno was the capital until 1038, so this breaks immersion for me, and I've decided for the first time to mod a bit myself.

Now, I know how to change the capital to Gniezno for de jure Poland. I will probably manage to write a decision that allows me to change it to Kraków when Christian (basing on the LoR Constantinople->Rome decision should go fine, right?). But what should I do so that Kraków is the de jure capital for the 1066 start? Is it possible to integrate that, or should I simply keep a copy of the unmodded files and use them when I want a 1066 start?

 

[Math2]

New issue, was wondering how to increase chance of councillor missions succeeding, specifically only for one mission, not across the board

Unrelatedlly, what does num_of_count_titles do? Can I say that someone can't hold x num_of_count_titles ?

 

[Dhop84]

the event that this local code goes with shows up as blank can anyone tell me why this would be by looking at this please

EVTDESCPinkernes.0;As the Pinkernes I shall serve drinks at the imperial table, guard against poison in my [Root.Liege.GetTitle]'s kylix and sometimes test the wine by tasting it to make sure no one has poisoned it. Too bad I do not like my liege and might accidentally serve bad wine;;;;;;;;;x;

In which csv file should i put descriptions?
Also ,the is_triggered_only code. How does an event know (with is_triggered_only) by which event it is supposed to be triggered?
Like here :

Spoiler

# Martial Eunuch
character_event = {
	id = LoR.801
	desc =*EVTDESCLoR.801
	picture = GFX_evt_emissary_byzantine
	
	hide_from = yes
	
	is_triggered_only = yes
	
	option = {
		name = EVTOPTALoR.801
		create_character = {
			random_traits = no
			dynasty = NONE
			female = no
			age = 20
			religion = ROOT
			culture = ROOT
			trait = eunuch
			trait = diligent
			trait = quick
			trait = brave
			trait = brilliant_strategist
			attributes = {
				martial = 10
			}
		}
		new_character = {
			give_minor_title = title_imperial_eunuch
		}
	}
}

It says is triggered_only ,but no clue to which event it triggers on ...

 

[Kurospidey]

@Dhop84 When you say going blank what do you mean? You don't see any text but you see the option button and can press it? Or you can't press anything and have to exit the game? If is the latter it's not a problem in the localization, it's a problem with your code.

To solve this, and problems like this download the nefty little open-source text editor notepad++ which has a hugely useful "search in multiple files" function. Just point it to a folder with events and it will search through all the files for the event id you input. Takes a few seconds and solves a lot of modding problems.

You'll have to edit the file landed_titles in the folder of the same name in the common folder in your ck2 directory. Locate the entry for the kingdom of poland, which should be

k_poland = {
		color={ 150 23 23 }
		color2={ 200 0 0 }
		
		capital = 527 # Krakowskie
		
		culture = polish
		
		catholic = 100 # Crusade target weight
		slavic_pagan_reformed = 500 # Crusade target weight
		baltic_pagan_reformed = 100 # Crusade target weight

This is not the end of the k_poland string, what follows are its de jure duchies, but you don't need to bother with that. For your purposes all you need to do is change the line specifying the capital, replacing it with

capital = 429 # Gnieznienskie

The number specifies the province, nothing more is strictly necessary but sticking the name in there helps with navigating the file.

As for changing the capital upon converting to Christianity, you could write in a decision that becomes available upon converting to christianity, and your main title is k_poland which forces the capital of poland to change to Krakow.
