Modding - Quick questions

That's de facto, not de jure.

I concur. De jure setup stays the same throughout as far as I can tell. It can be altered by events though.

And what lines would one use to change a de jure capital for example? I am currently failing badly at writing a decision for Poland to change the de jure capital from Gniezno to Kraków when Christian (to prevent gavelkind laws from giving away historic capitals to lesser heirs) and I'm beginning to think adding a whole new kingdom for pagan Poles might be actually easier to pull off...

 

[Darkgamma]

Well it is since what you're planning to do is actually impossible.

OK then ^.^" Thank you very kindly for your answer. I have absolutely no experience in modding CK2, but the game forcing me to give away the ancestral keep to a youngest son made me motivated enough to give it a try.

 

[Darkgamma]

Haha, just smack the game!

That makes sense

But isn't Italy a de jure part of HRE in 1066 and in 867 it has her own empire? Where is that coded?

Is there a scope that points to the leader of a war a character is fighting in?

any_current_enemy or random_current_enemy. Note that that won't work for vassals of the war leader; in that case you might want to go (any_)liege = { any_current_enemy = { } }

 

[Tolstoy]

Perfect. Thanks for the quick response!

I've checked religion and culture files and can't find where the Norse are limited to gavelkind succession only. What file determines this?

 

[Maleficus]

Nope, Italy is never de jure part of HRE, only ever de facto, while the de jure Italian Empire was added either with the 1.10 patch or TOG expansion and is valid for the entire game's timeframe

From patch log

- The kingdom of Italy is now a de jure part of the HRE in 1066

How do you trigger an event where by if you marry into a specific house ???

 

[Maestro Ugo]

I'm having a problem with an event. I want it to trigger for a person who has a capital in a certain province, if there is a certain global flag and the province doesn't have a certain province modifier:

character_event = {
	id = 1000094011
	title = "EVTNAME1000094011"
	desc = "EVTDESC1000094011"
	picture = "GFX"
	
	capital_scope = { province_id = 646 }
	has_global_flag = g_flag_1
	capital_scope = {
			NOT = { has_province_modifier = p_modifier_1 }
			}

	is_triggered_only = yes

	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTA1000094011"
		prestige = 100
		set_global_flag = g_flag_2
		}
	}

There are two problems: It doesn't fire when it's supposed to, and when it does it gives no options, no buttons whatsoever. What mistakes did I make?

No, Italy is still its own empire in 1066. But the de jure border between the HRE and Wendish empire isn't the same for the two start dates.

 

[Lysistrata]

As a separate question, is it possible to allow religious heads to have a different religion prior to a specific event or decision? I'm trying to make Chalcedonian Christianity and incorporate both the Pope and the Ecumenical Patriarch.

Yes, do it by event or do a specific casus belli. Deactivate the ERE title and kill the character.
Seperate qeustion answer: Religious heads can be of any religion really, again do it by event to change their religion upon spawning or something

With regards to the former, it doesn't answer my question of where I'd do it or how I could make it happen if Mehmet II won the Siege of Constantinople.

 

[Kurospidey]

How do you trigger an event where by if you marry into a specific house ???

in on_actions.txt there's one block for on_marriage. Add an event there and in the event body, in the trigger put that only is fired if the spouse is of a certain dynasty. Not sure about the code for a specific dynasty, but at least for religions it works, i.e. religion = muslim.
---------------------
---------------------

BTW guys, I'm trying to add an event modifier to concubines and spouses, that ends whenever the liege sets them aside/divorces them. I was trying it with on_actions.txt but I can only find on_marriage, on_forced_consort and make_consort_interaction_accept, which leaves me with no possibility of adding the modifier when the liege takes concubines from his own court. Also, I couldn't find the on_action for divorce or set aside.

Which leaves me with the only possibility of checking periodically for concubinage to add, remove this modifier. But I can't find a scope for this (at least in the wiki). Is there any? Like any_consort or something similar?

EDIT: auto-answer: there's any_consort.

 

[Math2]

Could anyone tell me what this means?

on_add_title = {
ROOT = {
if = {
limit = {
OR = {
NOT = { has_ambition = obj_become_king }
capital_scope = {
kingdom = {
NOT = { title = PREVPREVPREV }
}
}
}
}

It's a part of the subjugation CB

 

[Spartanlemur]

Can anyone help me with this:

I'm trying to create a new religion under the pagan category and have edited the religions.txt, landed_titles.txt, religious_icon_strip.dds and the religious_icon_strip_small.dds.

My biggest problem is that when I trial the religion by converting through the console, my holy sites don't show up under the religion tab, and upon reforming the game crashes. To give more detail, the holy sites in the religion tab are replaced by black fill, and the CoA's are that of Sweden (IIRC - blue background with three gold dashes in a triangle) .

A smaller issue is that the religious icon in my character tab is some blurred gold colour, rather than the symbol I meant for it to be. To add the extra icons I extended the length of the icon strips to a proportionally larger size and then added my own images, so that there are 39. I saved in the right file type (dds no mipmaps, no compression).

This is one of the conditions to the "Bring in some settlers" event in which a capital can change culture if the owner and his top liege have the same culture and the province doesn't border another with the owner's culture. I can understand most of the code of paradox's games but i'm having trouble understanding this bit.

OR = {
primary_title = {
conquest_culture = PREV
}
ROOT = {
county = {
conquest_culture = PREVPREV
}
}
ROOT = {
duchy = {
holder_scope = {
character = PREVPREVPREV
}
conquest_culture = PREVPREV
}
}
ROOT = {
kingdom = {
holder_scope = {
character = PREVPREVPREV
}
conquest_culture = PREVPREV
}
}
ROOT = {
empire = {
holder_scope = {
character = PREVPREVPREV
}
conquest_culture = PREVPREV
}
}
}
