Appearantly, build_holding only doesn't work with type = tribal. If it is so, it should be reported by the validator

Appearantly, build_holding only doesn't work with type = tribal. If it is so, it should be reported by the validator

So what you are saying is that

build_holding = {
    type = tribal
    ...
}

is not allowed to be used, but the Validator doesn't detect it?

 

[ngppgn]

Not that it is not allowed, but that it has no effect, and yes the validator doesn't detect it. To build new tribal holding by event I need to use

build_holding = { type = castle ... }

then scope to that holding and use convert_to_tribal = yes. The most probable explaination is that the command *should* work but the devs forgot to update the hard code to support it.

Maybe bugreport it and hopefully it gets fixed?

Comparison to vanilla code:

    ai_will_do = {
       factor = 1
       modifier = {
         factor = 0.9
       }
       modifier = {
         factor = 0
         NOT = {
           OR = {
             AND = {
               has_law = centralization_0
               over_vassal_limit = -1
               over_max_demesne_size = 1
             }
             AND = {
               has_law = centralization_2
               over_vassal_limit = 1
               over_max_demesne_size = -1
             }

As far as I know, since vassal/demesne size tradeoffs are a central part of Charlemagne, the vanilla code is working.

how does one prevent the validator from constantly telling you 'Non-namespace ID is larger than 9999'? thanks

Edit: so i have this to be disable in 'ValidatorSettings.txt' in my ck2/mod folder, yet it still finds these errors.

Put it either in .../steam/steamapps/crusader kings 2 or .../paradox interactive/crusader kings 2/mod/<your mod folder>

i.e. it should be in the same directory as where the "common" folder is, either in mod or base game

By fixing the error? You run the real risk of an id collision.
Besides, namespaces are so much easier to read and grok.

 

[richvh]

You should change mod-specific numeric event IDs to namespace IDs for two reasons: avoid hard to track down ID conflicts between namespace and numeric event IDs, and to avoid allocating larger than needed data structures for the event IDs. The days when huge event IDs were needed in mods to avoid conflicts are past.

 

[JonStryker]

It is great that you added a flag to disable the duplicate landed_titles check!

Could you also add such a flag to disable the disconnected dynasty check? I am loading up my mod alongside vanilla characters and there's 100+ of those problems in vanilla alone. It would be useful if it only showed the ones in the mod but the vanilla problems are a giant distraction.

Also I get this error now. Is there a way to track down my syntax error in the history files that causes this?

The upcoming version will have "CharacterHistory.NoDisconnectedDynastyChecks". But you should be able to disable checks that only involve vanilla characters by choosing the option to only show main mod errrors.

The above error will be reported nicely in the upcoming version.

 

[Jamie550]

Version v1.9.1 has been released: Here

If I did not reply to you, then you issue should be fixed, but of course report again if it doesn't seem to be.

Please keep reporting false positives with the Validator, and they will likely get fixed. If you are reporting a false positive, it is very useful to copy the error message into the post - you can just select the error message, then press Ctrl+C to copy it.

If no issues are reported on either the Eu4 or Ck2 forums for a week, then a final 1.9 will be released and it will be the last version until a new patch comes out.

 

[JonStryker]

Thanks!

Is this intentional? 1808 was, in fact, a leap year ...

 

[Jamie550]

Thanks!

Is this intentional? 1808 was, in fact, a leap year ...

Historically (and maybe still, not sure) the paradox game engine doesn't handle leap years properly (so if you say 2/29, it would go to 3/1. If this is fine for you there is a ValidatorSettings.txt setting to allow 2/29 when it is a leap year.

 

[ngppgn]

False positive: the validator reports that "tribal" is an invalid value for the "holding_type" condition, which is not true since CM.

That is a superfluous condition. Titles that are not active already cannot be formed (for instance, e_rome).

 

[Rylock]

That is a superfluous condition. Titles that are not active already cannot be formed (for instance, e_rome).

I'm well aware. There is, however, no tooltip visible to the player which tells them that they cannot form an inactive title, which is why we added it.

Why we wanted to add the line is neither here nor there, however. It's still a false positive (among others, as we use FROM to refer back to the title in a number of places).
