When there is a character who own duchy, county and city barony (not in the county),
is there any way to set his capital to the city and turn him to merchant republic in history file?

Use capital = b_xxx in province history, for instance:

Code:

1126.7.1 = { capital = b_dublin } #Falling back under local Ostman city rule
1170.7.1 = { capital = b_ath_cliath } #End of direct city indepedence

Is it possible to disable the "Raised Levies" penalty?

Bump.

I wonder, would it be possible to edit the probability that a province changes culture from A to B.

I have 2 cultures in one culture_group to behave differently when in contact with another culture group. One of them should lead to normal conversions, but the other should not asimilate at all. Is there any way to do it?

All modifiers to culture conversion are in the event itself (55000, I believe).

Do you mean the raised levy opinion penalty? It's handled by religion. You can have raised_vassal_opinion_loss = no under the religion you don't want it to apply to. If you want to disable it globally, add it to all religions.

I want to disable it for realms that have the Imperial Administration law, but I'm not sure if that's possible.

Hello, its bee a while (more than a year) that I have modified or saved .dds files in photoshop using the nvidia plug-in, but now I have seem to forgotten which settings I should save it as (1 bit alpha, explicit alpha, interpolated alpha, etc.) Can someone correctly remind me which one it is, as currently I'm saving them as explicit, but the trait icons I made are not appearing blank in game testing? Thank you kindly.

Well, you could disable it globally by religion, make an event system that applies opinion penalties for raised levies, and make the events not trigger for realms that have the Imperial Administration law. Not the most efficient system but it would do what you wanted.

Use a ping hide_window event to get the target into the FROM scope. The character portrait is, by default, the FROM character.

Excellent, thank you. That works perfectly; and also allows me to use .GetFromRelation for localization, which was an another problem I was trying to solve.

How can I show the value of a custom variable to the player? (in localisation file, decision requirement tooltip or character tooltip)

Did you try

Code:

[Root.my_variable]

in localization ?
Never tried it, but if it's similar to event targets ... (cf http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?800491-New-effect-for-saving-event-targets)
For decision and character tooltips, you can just use a custom_tooltip using localization

Anybody knows how to use the Iberian unit pack in other cultures? Want to use it on latin cultures.

Edit: I know it's graphical_unit_culture but don't know what to put already tried graphical_unit_culture = Iberian,Italian, and Southern and it didn't work.

I bought a new laptop after my previous one had a backlight problem. When I tried to update my personal mod to the current patch, it crashes whenever at the Loading Flags screen. I'm throughly checked both my landed_titles.txt files and my history files. Is there's anyone who managed to successfully update their mods to the current patch? If so, could you help me solve the Loading Flags CTD issue?

What patch was it from? What have you edited?

I'm having an issue with portraits.

Might be that you cropped it when you pasted the code, but if not... You need to put those inside spriteTypes = { }. If that's not the problem, then I don't see it. Maybe try with 'can_be_lowres = yes'. I don't even know what it does, but vanilla uses it for pretty much everything.

Hello,

how may i set a new liege for a character? I've seen set_de_facto_liege, but can't find any documentation or reference in the original files about it. My goal is to switch the liege for a character after an event is triggered via a decision.

Close. It's 'set_defacto_liege = <new liege>'.
