[TOOL] province setup converter 1.3.x -> 1.4

[Sobisonator]

Province setup converter

This tool lets you convert your mod's data contained in a province_setup.csv into the province setup txt format required in setup/provinces/00_default.txt

Simply run the script in your mod's /common/ folder and it will output a file called called GENERATED_SETUP.txt which you need to rename 00_default.txt and place in your mod's setup/main/ folder.

The numbers of the columns can be modified for those mods which add or remove pop types.

PATCH: Changed delimiter from semicolon to comma, as this was causing some user's output files to be blank.

I can't get the script to run. I downloaded Python's most recent version, and it still opens up then immediately quits.

@tsf4 That's expected behaviour - it should open up and immediately quit. I could add behaviour to keep open the command line if that's more user-friendly.

Did it generate a file called GENERATED_SETUP.txt in the folder you ran it in (which should be your mod's common folder)?

 

[tsf4]

Yes! It worked now

When I run the program it opens and then closes (as is expected behavior), but it doesn't generate GENERATED_SETUP.txt. Do you have any guesses as to why that might be?

I don't think this works sadly. You need some data from 1.3 (province_terrain ) to even make this generate the file, and even then the file crash the game.

 

[Sobisonator]

This should be working as long as you have a province_terrain file. I am not aware of any issues when you do have that file - but please let me know if you have any trouble doing so either via DM or in the thread.

Last person I spoke to whose game was crashing when using generated 1.4 setup had it doing so because they didn't have zeroed vanilla setup files in their main setup folder. This caused incompatibilities when the game tried to load both the mod and the vanilla setup, so make sure you have got empty vanilla files in place in your setup folder for anything you want to completely replace.
