Victoria 2 Removal of a tag

[Malenge]

Google. Vic2 Validator or EU4 Validator (it works for all Clausewitz games)

OK. I've looked through it with the validator, and it did find some errors, which I fixed. But now I'm stumped. The validator shows no errors (Other than the ones it would show for a vanilla Victoria 2 install, like invalid nodes where there are none), but I still can't get it to work. If anyone has any idea at all why this doesn't work, or how to produce more explicit logs from Victoria 2 that would be great.

Wait, you've uploaded a version where only England exists, and only in Belfast.

Yup, a removal of all tags, except with the UK, and in Belfast. Rebels still exist as a tag though, to avoid issues.

Didn't you want to try JUST removing the UK, with nothing else? I'm just a bit confused because what you've uploaded doesn't seem related to what you were asking. Do you have a question about these uploaded files?

That was just stage one, as I mentioned here:

Oh, in that case, I've already checked that. That's not the issue.

I've taken a different approach, now, to try and find out what I can and cannot do. This here removes all tags, except the UK. This also required me to remove references to some tags in cultures.txt and cb_types.txt.

Ah, but how could that help you? The game can't run with just one country.

Why?

 

[Savolainen5]

Not sure why. I imagine a lot of the code is meant to deal with having NPCs and interactions between them.

Yes. The great power code, for instance, may require at least 8 country tags existing, or 16 if you count secondary powers as well.

I tried adding in seven more nations, meaning there's now nine tags (including REB), and added back their history files, and OOBs (edited of course, since the original ones had references to no longer existing tags), but it still won't work. The validator doesn't come up with anything, and I doubt increasing the amount to 16 would make any difference, since secondary powers don't have any special interactions with each other like great powers do.

Modding Vic2 is quite finicky, as there're a lot of things that can go wrong. Basically, after any major change, it's a good idea to boot up and check to see if it works.
