Sweetening the Bitter Peace

[Alexander Seil]

Owing to the recent discovery, owing to some reading on the forums, that the trigger for the Bitter Peace events is basically flawed, as was also confirmed on closer examination, I set about rewriting it. The end result is that, if you replace the original buggy trigger, you will be able to trigger the event WITHOUT having to DOW France or take Paris first. So, all of you crusaders against Bolshevism, rejoice

Alright, feel free to test these and report back in this thread

SOV2624

trigger = {
war = { country = GER country = SOV }
random = 5

OR = {

AND = {
lost_national = { country = SOV value = 25 } #maybe raise this number
NOT = {
war = { country = GER country = ENG }
war = { country = GER country = FRA }
war = { country = GER country = USA }
}
}
AND = {
OR = {
control = { province = 56 data = GER } # Paris is not free
control = { province = 56 data = VIC } # Paris is not free
}
NOT = {
control = { province = 187 data = SOV } # Leningrad has fallen
control = { province = 163 data = SOV } # Stalingrad has fallen
control = { province = 175 data = SOV } # Moscow has fallen
control = { province = 1907 data = SOV } # Baku has fallen
control = { province = 1572 data = SOV } # Sverdlovsk has fallen
}
}
}
NOT = {
war = { country = GER country = JAP }
alliance = { country = GER country = JAP }

Aha!
I knew it!

So can i just paste these in German the event file?

Thank You!!!

Thanks much!!

 

[Alexander Seil]

These are in the ussr.txt. By the way, take care, I didn't actually TEST them yet and already an error cropped up. I'll see what it is and report right back

EDIT-


Do note that, besides the first obvious difference from standard rules, Japan now has to be actually at war with SOV if it signed the TriPartite. If they signed it and ended up being a no-show, too bad for them, the event will still fire. Also, if you've avoided trouble with the Allies and Tojo went north, you get to skim 5% off of your regular province requirement if Vladivostok is "liberated".

By the way, there is little wonder that the original event was screwed up. This trigger is a huge bracket hell, as you can tell. I just hope it gets fixed "officially" in the next patch so everyone is on the same page.

Great work! I look forward to testing it after exams.

 

[unmerged(50618)]

Any chance...

you would give a bit more info on how to implement your rewrite, i.e., detailed instructions? I am not an idiot but not savvy either when it comes to these things.

Thanks in advance.

As for editing this into your game, open db/events/ussr.txt and locate the given events by their id. Then take out the triggers that are in there currently and replace them with these. Take care with the brackets - if they do not match up, you'll get an error.

 

[Wolf52]

In its simplest form, i think all you have to do (if you want to get it without being at war with the allies) is just remove the two references with paris at the top, remove one of the two "or=" commands, and also remember that for every bracket you need a closing bracket.

 

[Alexander Seil]

That's what I did with the vanilla events, plus some other minor changes, basically. It's obviously not rocket science, but relatively simple. I left the Paris reference in there to make sure that the Germans, if they already got themselves into a war with the Allies, will not be able to simply sit it out and BP the Soviets. Rather, they'll have to deal with the mess in the West first. Basically, it's a sort of exploit control, which is what I suspect Paradox coders intended.

 

[Darth Tracid]

I notice that people are getting quite lazy again with posting all kinds of stuff on the main forum...please check where you post stuff. thanks. TRACID

 

[Alexander Seil]

This is more of a homemade fix than a mod. I do not think that somebody could really argue that part of the vanilla BP is not WAD, therefore I posted it on the main forum for everybody's benefit. Not that I care too much, though, since all that matters is that *I* have it fixed for my games, hehe

Brackets

Can you be more specific when you say "match up"? Do you mean the indentation?

 

[Barkdreg]

every bracket that opens, needs one that closes

I believe that's what he means with "match up"

 

[Alexander Seil]

Indeed, precisely what Barkdeg said.

 

[Alexander Seil]

So, did anyone manage to get to BP yet and see if it works as intended?

 

[Barkdreg]

I'm using your changes. Still only 1938 so you'll have to wait for a result

 

[Panzerschiffe]

So does it work properly now?

 

[unmerged(36926)]

So does it work properly now?

That's what I'm wondering. Has anyone actually used this event and if so, how well does it work?

 

[unmerged(36926)]

So am I right to assume that on one has tried this event out yet?
