The World according to Kasperus (or yet another map thread)

[Kasperus]

CK->EUII->WATK->Vicky/Ricky->HOI2DD Making for one of the best GC experiences ever . And since I think your map is a million times better than what we recieved in the vanilla and derivatives (I still love you Paradox , I swear) , I'd like to have that link in the chain be your map . Unless the CK-WATK project is already under works somewhere ?

As I already posted before, the way in which both CK->EU2 convertors are programmed, one can simply modify the conversionfiles in notepad to make a proper CK->WATK conversion. Making a separate EU2->WATK conversion within the chain gives two significant problems which make it a total waste of time:
1. You'd have to write an actual conversion-program, which would still require its own conversionfiles - therefor twice the amount of work as compared to simply mod the conversionfiles of the existing CK->EU2 convertor
2. You would see an additional loss of data in the process - a conversion is never precise 1->1. You lose information when converting from CK to vanilla EU2 since that has less provinces/cultures. And you would not recreate it by converting that again to WATK (and in fact even lose some more)

Speaking of CK->WATK converters, I'm about a quarter of the way through adapting King of Men's converter for use with WATK.

Kasperus, there are three things I would like from you:

1. A full list of all the new nations;
2. A list of what cultures you've changed, and what you've changed them into (Jylland has hawaiian culture according to province.csv )
3. A list of all provinces that go protestant/reformed.

It would be a huge help if I had those lists, but if you can't, it's no problem. It'll just take longer, that's all.

 

[Kasperus]

I'll see what I can do, not until thursday though since I can't access my home PC till then and I have no watk-files on my laptop.

 

[EightDeer]

Awesoem! Many thanks.

[EightDeer]

Thank you so much. This will make the work go so much faster.

 

[rybka]

I know this is english forum, however Kasperus has full mailbox and this is a private message

czesc
nie wiem co masz na mysli piszac o pomocy w sprawie tych nowych krajow dla mapy do EU3 (historyczni wladcy, pliki z historia?), ale dla cieszyna dla potrzeb mymap zrobilem liste historycznych wladcow. czy chcesz, zeby ci ja przeslac? mysle, ze w sprawie ksiestw slaskich na forum eufi ktos sie zglosi, ktos widzialem nawet tworzy mod o nazwie "polsie maluchy" w ktorym jest jeszcze wiecej ksiestw slaskich.
Nie mam eu3 i dlatego musze to napisac tutaj (niestety nie pojdzie na moim laptopie, ale sciagnalem demo i moge podejrzec jak wygladaja pliki)
ryba

 

[Kasperus]

pm'ed you (and cleared my inbox)

 

[Dark_striker]

Is there other scenarios than the Grand-campaign in the latest version?

 

[Kasperus]

GC only. Only extern work when it comes to later scenarios.

 

[Maximilliano]

Does the EU2->Vic converter on the first page work for WATK to Revolutions, or just plain Victoria?

 

[siafu]

Problem

I recently installed Watk after installing vanilla, patching, and installing Interregnum 1.0. Now, when I start a game in Interregnum, it's using the Watk map-- which obviously doesn't work out so well. Is there any way to fix this without completely reinstalling?

 

[cool-toxic]

NO, You have to install Watk in a moddir aswell as all the other mods or else it will go nuts.

 

[Kasperus]

Does the EU2->Vic converter on the first page work for WATK to Revolutions, or just plain Victoria?

The program itself I wouldn't know (since it is not my program, I guess there ought to be a Revolutions compatible version somewhere though) but the conversionfiles were made for plain Victoria and I did not test it with with Revolutions.

 

[Classique]

Besides that I did some more changes/fixes to 'standard' watk, mostly scenariobased but I also did some text-edits as suggested in this thread. Some smaller province.csv fixes. Updated revolters - some were resurrected to simulate usable countries (like Franconia and Anhalt) which I intend to properly represent in kgeca; added also another country or two to the scenariofiles. Finally I 'borrowed' some agceep events from szmik's extrawatk - specifically dealing with Austrian inheritances and some Hungarian and Bohemian stuff - which I included in somewhat simplified version. In general nothing fancy but I'll update the watk 3.11 files to 3.12 with these changes sometimes next week.

These changes sound pretty good; have they been incorporated in any updates?

 

[Kasperus]

No they have not. When I stopped working on the watk4/kgeca project it kind of lost its purpose to include these changes.

 

[Wenceslaus II]

Well Africa is coming along well. WATK is not dead!

 

[rybka]

No they have not. When I stopped working on the watk4/kgeca project it kind of lost its purpose to include these changes.

Its really a pity that you stopped. Does this decision mean that you completely lost interest in watk for eu3 or you plan to restart work in future?
I really enjoyed watk for eu2, its really great work! I still play it from time to time
Anyway I wish you a lot of free time

 

[szmik]

I don't have the privilege to write it in the EU3 modders subforum so...

Kasperus,
I look at your map project for EU3 and I'm waiting for you to finish it so I could move AGCEEP on your new EU3 map!! By the time you finish I'll have brand new computer so I could buy EU3 (with NA) and start the work. Now, that I've read the project is abandoned I feel disappointed.

Your work is wonderful and I think there's demand for it. Don't give up!
Anyway, when I finally get EU3 I'll be able to help with setup, scripting etc.

 

[Kasperus]

First of all in post 1236 I was referring to the EU2 project which was abandoned when I got EU3.

Regarding EU3 project - at the moment I'm too occupied IRL to do any EU-modding.
