Not all nations are in that file to start with, but they can still exist in a scenario. Just means they don't come back if annexed. As for the crash, we need to see what exactly you added, because if you don't get the syntax right the game crashes.

Better to ask this in the mod section.

The Byzantines aren't in the revolt section so the Ottomans don't get their capital revolting away (which can cause extremely bizarre things to occur, such as the Ottoman capital moving to Brazil).

I think they should be a liberatable country though, so if you grab a glob of Anatolia, and/or Thrace you can release it.

Is it possible to make the revolt.txt file such that a nation can be released but won't revolt? Haven't looked there in a while.

Yep. Just add "revolt=no". The following countries can be released but can't revolt:
Kingdom of Jerusalem
The Knights
Duchy of Athens
Teutonic Order
The Kaliphate
Germany
Livonian Order

So basically, crusader states, plus Germany (can only be released before 1500) and the Kaliphate.

BYZ = { 
	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1490 }
	expirydate = { day = 31 month = december year = 1820 }
	minimum = { 357 }
	extra = { 296 297 316 317 318 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366	367 368 369 470 471 472 473 474 475 476 477 478 479 480 481 482 483 484 485 486 487 490 491 492 493 494 742 743 744745 746 747 820  1609 1610 1611 }

Well, if all the provinces you own are given to Byzantium, the game will crash. Same thing if you start with a german country and release Germany without owning non-Germany-defined provinces.

Technically it isn't a crash. It's a 'game ends' same as if you were annexed (which in essence you are), a self-inflicted suicide.... hmm suicide is always self-inflicted isn't it? Well you know what I mean.

Yes, but without details about the "crash" the OP is suffering, it's the only explanation that I find that is based on revolt.txt.

well when i have Thrace since thats all is needed to liberate the BYZ and when i liberate it just crashes so do i need to get rid of the extras or make it have so much terroritory and not have claims as a whole empire?

'got it !

Change the line

group = orthodox

to

group = torthodox

The orthodox techgroup is syntaxed "torthodox" in the files.
