Modding - Quick questions

[Kalitz]

Go to your "\Crusader Kings II\decisions" folder and find a file called "succession_laws.txt". For every succession law you want to be available to pagans, remove the following part preventing it:

Thanks a lot, man. Gonna try it out tonight.

 

[pingupower]

Does anyone know a way to mod a succession law?

Or in case is it possible to have a landed title without a de jure capital?

Succession laws are not moddable. All landed empire, kingdom and duchy level titles seem to have capitals in the files but I'm not sure what would happen upon removal.

EDIT: Correction, seems like not all do. The Kingdom of Anatolia for one seems to be capital-less. So it seems they can.

So, how do Tribal Titles work? I removed tribal = yes from d_khazars, and now all of the flags and CoAs are screwed up, some use the wrong ones, some don't have one at all and just display a black shield. I tried doing a search in my Crusader Kings 2 directory to see what files d_khazars references that would affect CoAs, but I didn't find anything, so I guess it's hardcoded? Is there any way to change a title from tribal to not without causing this issue?

I think the misplaced CoA's are the effect of the game not calculating flags each time. Go to the CK2 folder in My Documents and clear the gfx\flags directory, then restart. Should help.

First question:
I would like to add a special trait for merchant republic courtiers and rulers which changes their clothes depending on their culture.
(the trait would a thing like Western merchant, Eastern merchant, Arabic merchant and so on)
Is it possible? Which files should I edit?

Second question:
Can a culture use more than one dds file for its portraits?

 

[ZachPruckowski]

Is it possible to award minor titles to people in foreign prisons if they're otherwise your vassals/family/courtiers?

 

[Stolidicus]

Is it possible to add additional education traits and what file should I look at?

Additionally, what file should I look at if I wish to mod what random education traits are received at the beginning of the game (I wish to remove the scholarly educations from the options for castle and town rulers).

Also, how to create a dependancy mod?

 

[Maestro Ugo]

Is it possible to award minor titles to people in foreign prisons if they're otherwise your vassals/family/courtiers?

I believe so, yes. None of them have the "is_prisoner" under allowed.

I believe so, yes. None of them have the "is_prisoner" under allowed.

I was perhaps imprecise. I didn't mean is it possible to assign current minor titles to foreign prisoners but if it's possible to write minor titles to assign to them.

As in, a minor title that can only be held by a prisoner?

I believe its possible, if you add "is_prisoner = yes" in the mix.

 

[pingupower]

I plan to make an education overhaul. So I have a few questions:
- can I change the skill increase rate or alter it with factors for a child?
- if I create an event from scratch with trigger conditions (so no actions) and a mean time to happen, can I just write the event or do I need to change the on action file? I think I don't but I'm not sure.

 

[miltenHUN]

how do I write that 'the ruler regined for at least 40' years in code form?

 

[Meneth]

how do I write that 'the ruler regined for at least 40' years in code form?

ruled_years = 40

 

[pingupower]

Also where can I write an event description and how does the linking work with the event file?

 

[Dhop84]

I want to trigger an event where by if you marry into a specific dynasty ive found out the ID for the dynasty but i dont really no how would i put it into the event . What would be the correct wording for the event ??

 

[Randarkmaan]

So I am looking through the events files to get some kind of measure of what I can do and such. Then I can come across rumours_events.txt, it's full of cool events like courtiers being suspected of sodomy, occultism (even giving you the option of dabbling in the occult) and an incest event chain that is pulled pretty much wholesale out of GoT. However I don't think I have EVER seen any of these events fire in any of my games. They all seem to be ultimately connected to the character flag "rumour_spreader" which leads me to believe that it has something to do with the with the "build spy network" job that the spymaster can perform, which sometimes gives me an event that the spymaster has uncovered rumours that a local noble is homosexual or corrupt (but never any of the other events in the file).

However as I've never gotten any prompt about a local noble being gay or corrupt and being blackmailed or having rumours spread about him, this leads me to believe that maybe the AI simply doesn't have its spymaster perform this job... which is somewhat disconcerting, there are some cool events in there.

EDIT: Yeah, I forgot to frame this as a question. The question is whether anyone has any knowledge on this or something?

I've already restricted the subjugation CB to only be usable on those within your same culture group, but I'd like to expand it again to let you use it to take any land within the same de jure kingdom as your capital, provided you have the "become king" ambition, or hold that kingdom. For the become king part, I figure I need to set up something like:

			OR = {
				culture_group = FROM
				AND = {
					has_ambition = obj_become_king
					capital_scope = {
						kingdom = {
							title = ?
						}
					}
				}
			}

...but I don't know how to have it require that the target hold land in the same de jure kingdom as the attacker's capital.

EDIT: I think I can leave that part out, as it'd be nice if the Rurikids had to wait until their Russian cultured heirs take over before they go on a conquering spree of Russia (though it'd still be cool to know the answer, for general modding knowledge). However, I still want to mod in the ability to declare subjugation wars against any pagan for titles within a kingdom that you own. I really don't understand the "can_use_title" and "is_valid_title" parameters or how they work. Can anyone explain?

I'd also appreciate it if someone could explain which referents count for calculating what PREV, PREVPREV, and PREVPREVPREV refer to.

I have a similar question so I'd love if people could answer mine as well...

IN response to you, from what I gather ( I can't answer your main question BTW), can_use_title refers to what conditions have to be met regarding the ittle of the province, whether it is a certain type, it's location, etc. is_valid_title checks to see, after you declare war, if the CB still works, so if you lose the claim on the province in a claim war, it ends the war. Basically it sets the conditions that must remain true.

I think PREV would refer to capital_scope iin your problem, and I think it skips ANDs, ORs, or IFs. Whereever you see a "= {" that's a new scope unless it's AND OR or IF I think...I could be wrong though...


How can I make this usable in only the dejure kingdom inwhich I reside...I believe the PREVPREVPREVPREVPREV doesn't work as I think there's a limit of 4, but can anyone see how to make that work?

 	can_use_title = {
		OR = {
			ROOT = {
				OR = {
					culture = FROM
					religion = FROM
					has_ambition = obj_become_king
				}
			}
			FROM = {
				any_realm_title = {
					ROOT = {
						capital_scope = {
							kingdom = {
								title = PREVPREVPREVPREVPREV
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}

For my mod, I want to start adding events so, using the modding guide here, I created my very own event.

However, I ran into some problems.

First, the event would fire but not the option, then the event wouldn't fire at all.

The location folder is taken care of, it's just something with my code. Can someone see the problem?

Code:

character_event = {
	id = 1000129000
	title = "Converted to Orthodoxy"
	desc = "EVTDESC1000129000"
	picture = GFX_evt_throne_room
	is_triggered_only = yes
	trigger = {
		has_decisions = { convert_to_orthodoxy }
	}
	mean_time_to_happen = {
	days = 1
	}
	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTA1000129000"
	}
}
