question about provinces

[Arko]

I've just taken a look at your mod file... I think replace_path = "history" is not enough, it will not include subfolders. You have to use replace_path = "history/provinces", replace_path = "history/titles", etc.

I confirm this. always use the last sub folder in the list for replace_path.

 

[RWexler]

Spoiler

name = "Midas"
path = "mod/Midas"

replace_path "history/characters"
replace_path "history/provinces"
replace_path "history/titles"
replace_path "common"
replace_path "common/cultures"
replace_path "common/dynasties"
replace_path "common/landed_titles"
replace_path "common/religion"

this is the .mod file now - doesn't work at all!
What the fuck am I doing wrong!? this is so terrible!

You forgot a few '=' there. Get used to double spell-check everything or modding CKII will become very frustrating.

 

[Arko]

replace_path = "common" might not work or is simply useless.

 

[Luca0312]

And by the way, once you add the missing '=' your replace_path will probably start to work. When that happens, you must make sure that all the replace_path folders contain not only your mod files, but also all the vanilla files that you did not change but still need. Otherwise you'll get into another load of troubles.

Ouch. Could you send me your mod in the current state? It'd be easier to look for problems. Otherwise I'm out of ideas...

Her is the link to the current state:

I really hope that you can find something!

Any way to download it without the need for a downloader software? Following your link I get only various 'Setup.exe' downloads and I am not fond at all of that kind of things...

 

[RWexler]

you dont have to install anything!?
just click on the button with the green arrow facing the bottom right - its under the download details

edit: I tested the link - it works...

you need to click on the download button with the green thing, not the link just below.

I'll take a look at your files aSAP RWexler

Thanks Arko. Amazing how the actual download link is always the smallest possible thing in the middle of huge colorful blinking adverts... :huh: ...thank you capitalism.

Will test the mod right away.

Ok downloaded and testing. There are a few things I noticed, but honestly I haven't found the cause of the blank events popping up a few days into the game.

Anyway... here are a few errors.

- You have a missing closing bracket in your cultures file (at the end there should be one more).
- You have 3 religions sharing the same name (eiferer). You can't do that I'm afraid. Unique names.
- Your dynasties file is missing all the 'name =' parts. Look to vanilla dynasties and you'll see the difference.

I'll keep investigating...

 

[RWexler]

thanks for finding these errors!
But they also dont make the mod working !

What events did you change?

I see that you have quite a bit of events that are exact duplicates of the originals. That doesn't help narrow the problem down.

Having blank events is the result of not having an event properly set. It can be that it doesn't have a description or that the event doesn't have any valid options, resulting in a blank event that cannot be dismissed.

 

[RWexler]

the thing is that I never even touched event modding.....

I tried to remove RWexler's events folder from its mod and the error was still there. So I think it's safe to assume that whatever is causing the problem, it is NOT in the events folder.

 

[RWexler]

When I tried the Britannia modification I put it into the mods folder of the main game folder - I actually got these weird blank events then, too.... This didn't happen again when it was in the documents mod folder.
I tried this with midas - It didn't work..... cant anyone find out whats going on!?

RWexler, I think you should not even try to put your mod in the game main folder, it will not work (as Britannia, or AGoT). It must be in documents. Trying other options will only make things even more confused and complicated. So, forget the main game folder and stick to documents!

Your problem is not 'easily solved'. I'm 90% sure it is caused by some errors inside your files. However, there are a lot of things to go through and right now I don't have the time for it. You should download the Validator and use that tool to check your mod. It will give you a list of errors... you should check them and solve as much of them as possible.

 

[RWexler]

I used the validator and it said two times that the landed titles file is not colsed up with a bracket.
I hope I can find that thing.....
