Have you searched in all your files for [civ_trade ?

Yup, nothing in the event files that says [civ_trade .

22:17:38][eventmanager.cpp:226]: Corrupt Event Table Entry

I get this error for every line of a country_event in my colony event file, despite the vanilla .txt handling it with no problems. Am I missing something obvious in another text file somewhere? the only reference for, say, colony.5 event in vanillia is to on_actions.txt, but mirroring the stuff in there with my events does nothing.

Check brackets.

Searched for just brackets and nothing. Not getting any corrupt event table entries with curly brackets either.

Post your event files then. There's only so much we can do without seeing them.

Here's a pastbin link of my events file. http://pastebin.com/zyDhgPs1

Curious about this, as well.

I've tried. But didn't managed. No matter what I did, engine didn't want to read my star_class.dds icon.

add_building_construction = <building_tag> should be usable from a tile-scope.

Thanks.
Is it true that the two mods affecting on_yearly_pulse in on_actions are incompatible?

Is there an easy way of keeping track of integer variables that isn't visible to the user? What I have in mind is something like: there's a sequence of events, where the player can pick from multiple options, say A and B. Every time you pick A it increments a counter N_A, and similarly B increments N_B. At the end of the sequence, it compares N_A and N_B, and the result is determined by which is greater.

The only ways I know of to do this are by either making N_A and N_B event chains - which I believe would be visible to the user, yes? - or by implementing boolean arithmetic using flags. The latter is... Doable, but unpleasant. Is there another way to do this? Or a way to make event chains do what I want them to?

Curious about this, as well.

I've tried multiple asteroid belts around one star, asteroid belt around a planet, asteroid belts around the second star in a binary...

No good.

I don't have Maya... Is there any 3ds Max importer\exporters for .mesh in existence, even if they're unofficial?

Some crazy ideas:

• set_variable check_variable change_variable
• create a country and count your variables as opinion from me to them or them to me:
  their_opinion = {
  who = event_target:my_country
  value < 11
  }
• invisible strategic resources (no idea if possible)
• create a policy with x settings and step it forward
• create an unreachable system and spawn x planets
• create a repeatable technology that is never drawn and increment that research level

• set_variable check_variable change_variable

This looks like what I was looking for, thanks.

Do you know if there's a way to have a random outcome (With different outcomes having different weight based on some criteria) for an event ? A bit like what can be done with anomaly spawn chance but applied to event results.

random_list = {

           A = { EVENT_A }
           B = { EVENT_B }
           C = { EVENT_C }

}

Where A, B, C are proportional weights. So if A = 10, B = 20, C = 30, then EVENT_A has a 1/6 chance of happening, etc.

So I put this in my option, right ? And when this option has been chosen by the player, one of the three events will be picked randomly by the game ?

I'm 90% certain the answer is yes, but I've never actually tried it myself. If it doesn't work, you can have the option trigger another event, which contains the random_list.

Well, thanks a lot then. I will try that.

What's the number behind loca-keys? Why do some have loca_key:0 and some loca_key:1 ?

Okay, so I want to mod the AI for my custom empires. Do i just create a country flag called "<Race>" on the "Allow" line of the AI file, and then add this same flag on "
has_country_flag" in the Empire's basic code?
