The Validator - Find errors quickly and with minimal pain!

richvh · Mar 1, 2016

Validator needs to know where the base game and the mod are installed, yes. You don't need the base game to be accessible by Steam for Validator to run, though. A symlink to the game files might be sufficient, but it's been years since I played around with Linux.

Symlinking between a windows VM and a linux is quite difficult and downright unsafe, if not impossible (I am obviously not using something as ancient as NTFS). I could probably get an smb share going though ^.^

But before that, I should see if it works without a VM, via mono. I don't know what features from .net 4.0 the validator needs but here's a link to what features mono has:

http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/compatibility/

EDIT: Oh, and apparently .net framework is fully open source now, 4.6 onwards, except for the redistributable binary.

EDIT2: Mono didn't work

Launched the validator on my windows VM and got an error that wouldn't let me run a validation

I'm sorry if this has been posted, but in v1.13.3, matrilineal marriages aren't recognized by the validator and the offspring born within the marriage are flagged as missing a bastard/legit_bastard trait.

EDIT: Nevermind, you've done a great work to fix that with this version. I mistook and old error with a new one I had missed in my mod. Thanks for a great tool.

Code:

--- Error 1 of 1 ---

scaled_with_population_of is only used with a char on the RHS.

I don't know if it's the latest CK2 patch, or the latest Validator version, but Validator has begun telling me that has_character_modifier and remove_character_modifier actions no longer like me using items from the vanilla 00_event_modifiers.txt file.

At first I wondered if they renamed some events, but upon clicking the drop down list where I could select a valid item and then repair, there were no options available from the vanilla listing.

Everything else checks out fine, the work I did was on a totally unrelated event, and these items were fine in the past. An example of one of the error findings is below.

Code:

--- Error 1 of 1 ---
At <mod>\events\MagicMojo.txt [narrative_event\option\remove_character_modifier] (Line 155, column 3):
"minor_disease_herpes" is not a valid NormalModifier.

VorpalNeko · Mar 5, 2016

@Dewguru : Look at line 2494 in vanilla 00_event_modifiers.txt:

Code:

too_honest = {§
    general_opinion = -10
    icon = 21
}

What's going on is that extra § character at the end of line 2494 breaks the Validator, so no modifiers that occur afterwards (?) will register as valid.

Thank you - that was it. I appreciate the response and assistance.

Value can be 0.

What does it mean? I assume it checks if num_faction_backers is >= 0, which should always be true.

It is possible to include any diplomatic action in council voting.

Currently the list of council voting is:

Code:

	imprison_character_interaction
	exile_imprisoned_interaction
	execute_imprisoned_interaction
	revoke_title_interaction
	grant_landed_title_interaction
	declare_war_interaction
	release_from_prison_interaction
	enforce_peace
	laws

Is there a list of diplomatic action strings somewhere easily accessible? if not can you list them?

This is the full context:

Code:

  allow = {
     higher_tier_than = DUKE
     is_primary_holder_title = yes
     holder_scope = {
       primary_title = {
         ROOT = {

           NOT = {   character = FROM }
           num_of_faction_backers = {
             faction = faction_powerful_vassal_takeover
             value = 0

It's checking that there aren't any other factions of this type for this title.

It's checking that there aren't any other factions of this type for this title.

So is this

Code:

 num_of_faction_backers = {
             faction = faction_powerful_vassal_takeover
             value = 0

Checking that a faction exists or something? Because if you wanted to check backer count, wouldn't it need to be "value = 1"? And the NOT makes it say that there are 0 or less backers.

richvh · Mar 7, 2016

Yes, it's checking if the faction already exists with another faction leader, with 0 or more backers. (Faction leader does not count as a backer, so 0 is valid.)

I'm pretty sure any diplomatic interaction listed in defines.lua will work. The ones we have tested and used are:

ask_for_vassalization_interaction
release_vassal_interaction
retract_vassal_interaction
transfer_vassal_interaction
assign_voter_title_interaction
revoke_voter_title_interaction
release_from_prison_interaction
ransom_character_interaction

The rest all probably work, but they haven't been tested to be sure:

retire_to_monastery_interaction
demand_religious_conversion_interaction
invite_to_court_interaction
claim_title_interaction
award_honorary_title_interaction
revoke_honorary_title_interaction
send_assassin_interaction

blackninja9939 · Mar 7, 2016

Any diplomatic action can work for the council voting, just take it from defines.lua
You might want to add a check that if a diplomatic action is checked for council voting then you also see to make sure if it is under the regent voting in defines.lua as well, or make that an optional one if possible

I have a false positive to report:

--- Error 1 of 1 ---
Parse Failure
Path: <mod>\events\WtWSMS_story_events.txt
Approximate location: Line 3159, column 4
Error: Token "localisation" at line 3159, column 4 must be an equals sign.

The following command works in character scope
Syntax was mentioned here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...in-to-the-rescue.874495/page-18#post-20734574

Code:

change_infamy = { 
       value = -100
       localisation = CHANGE_INFAMY_EFFECT
}

I still have a minor issue with localization key appearing in tooltip rather than the localized value though, but the effect works.

Can you post the file? This doesn't like it's complaining about change_infamy specifically.

Sure, the file is here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/l...4b40ea2/WTWSMS/events/WtWSMS_story_events.txt
Note that if I comment the two change_infamy effects, the parse failure goes away.

Which version of the Validator are you using? The file above, when I download it and use it with 1.13.4, doesn't give a parse failure.

Thanks for taking the time. I've been using 1.13.4.0 as well. But strangely the parse error seem to be gone now both when I tried validating events with the file alone or tried again with the whole mod...

Yet, there's the expected false positive error about change_infamy :

--- Error 1 of 1 ---
At <mod>\events\WtWSMS_story_events.txt [character_event\option\change_infamy] (Line 3222, column 3):
Invalid node "change_infamy" in scope Option (value is: <a complex type>)

The Validator - Find errors quickly and with minimal pain!
