Added 'node' and 'arg' parameters to RestrictedNumber constraints.
Improved error messages for various types of numbers.
Slightly improved heuristics for recognition of complex types.
Added a "strict" validation mode which will print warnings as well as errors.
The option of "debug" mode is now available through the options dialog box.
Fixed a bug in the duplication error where the error was always assumed to be on the left.
Improved error message for duplication errors in lists.
Fixed bug where attempting to search for a culture that did not exist would result in a crash.
Added the concept of "locals".
The Ensure and OldScenarioValidator constraints have been made obsolete; while they can still be used it is inadvisable to do so.

An overhaul for Victoria was long overdue, and it is now here! In particular, scenarios have less false positives and false negatives. VIP's scenario system of multiple EUG files should now function without pesky errors, too.

Changelog
Code:
[b]General[/b]
Added a "shared" scope - between global scope and private scope, sharing its contents only with the file that referenced it with an Includes clause.
Error dialogs: Error dialog for parse failures no longer has an extraneous "= { }" wrapping the text.
Error dialogs: The comboboxes in error dialogs for type mismatch errors will open fast, even if they contain many items.
Fixed bug where some enum validators reported that they were case insensitive even though they were not.
Fixed file corruption when double quotes were inputed into certain text fields in the Settings dialog.
Fixed UI bug where opening a Details dialog on certain types of errors (e.g. TypeMismatchError, ParseFailureError) would, upon dialog closing, leave the context menu nonfunctional, as well as selecting an additional item without holding down modifiers.
The registry is now able to add, delete, and edit entries.
Fixed bug in context validation where sometimes the right side would be reported as in error whereas the left side was in error.

A number of items are no longer hardcoded. Also, some validation has been improved (try running Country validation, for example). The main news, however, is that Semper Fi is now supported! (There are some problems with event validation - triggers seem to be in wrong scopes, but that could simply be a new feature).

Changelog
Code:
General

Improved list recognition slightly (by making sure that the document format is Pdox before scanning checking for list of childless elements.
While validation is running, the Scheme selection combo box is disabled to prevent change.

Localization is now supported in the form of seperate translation files, as well as legacy inline translation.
Ftg
Many restricted number validators now show the actual value.
Localization now works right with mods (i.e. a mod without a language in the base will no longer generate a multitude of errors).
Hoi3

Changelog
Code:
General
Added the possibility of nameless nodes (i.e. A = { { ... } } ) to the PDO parser.
Made it easier to describe PDO lists with a PdoListItem constraint.
Many PDO lists have been converted to use a PdoListItem constraint.
Added "[" and "]" as valid starting characters in a PDO file.
The PDO format now supports conditionals in the form '¤IF XXX', '¤ELSE', and '¤ENDIF'.
Games based on the Clausewitz validation will now have mods worked as before, though using the "name" argument in the .mod file still works.
Eu3
Triggers: Country trigger 'technology_group' now accepts THIS when in reference to a country.
Ftg
Commands: Command 'provinceculture' now accepts -1 as a value, indicating the primary culture of the country receiving the event.
Scenarios: Added to permissible values in a province definition 'looted' (and 'date'), 'manpower', 'province_revoltrisk', 'mine', and 'goods'.
Scenarios: province definition 'income' has been changed from PositiveInt to NonNegInt.
Scenarios: When a mod is used, scenarios in vanilla will not be checked. (To do so, the Scenarios folder has been given a 'replace' characteristic, as opposed to 'extend'.
Leaders: When validating a mod, invalid files in the vanilla folder will not trigger an error (i.e. having a file "leaders_ABC.txt" in vanilla will not trigger an error if there is no such tag "ABC" in the mod).
Monarchs: When validating a mod, invalid files in the vanilla folder will not trigger an error (i.e. having a file "monarchs_ABC.txt" in vanilla will not trigger an error if there is no such tag "ABC" in the mod).
Scenarios: Fixed invalid warning in clause 'flagname' in case of ' ABC = Blah DEF = Blah '; now the warning will warn about ' ABC = Blah ABC = MoreBlah '.
Scenarios: Added 'combat' clause.
Commands: Added 'leader' as a synonym for 'wakeleader'.
Localization: Will no longer crash if a mod has a language not included in the base game.
'ai' clauses will no longer crash if their value is not a string.
Scenarios: Now recognizes 'option' clauses in the header, and will use their default values.
Scenarios: The 'name' clause in units is now optional.
Scenarios: Added optional 'loansize' to country definitions.
Scenarios: The following entries in country definitions are now optional: colonialattempts, colonialnation, major, colonists, merchants, inflation.
Scenarios: The 'date' entry in a country's policy definition is now optional.
Scenarios: Added optional 'trade' and 'guarenteed' clauses to a country's relation list.
Scenarios: Added optional 'historicalleader' to a country's unit clauses.
Victoria
'ai' clauses will no longer crash if their value is not a string.
Hoi3

}Okay, I think the problem is that your province.csv file has extra or fewer columns. Try pressing ignore for this and any other messages that appear, then see if the error list contains any mentions of province.csv.
In the future, there will be no dialog box, but just an exception thrown, and the information shown in the log on the bottom.
Yes I get this:
already while the dialog pops up.
However, it doesn't continue afterwards even when pressing ignore.
Code:
--- Error 1 of 1 ---
Incorrect CSV column count
At D:\Spiele\Victoria\db\province.csv
Expected columns: 51
Original error: Expected 51 columns, but actually 73 columns at line 1057.
(If you wish to mass-fix the file, press the 'show details' button.)already while the dialog pops up.
However, it doesn't continue afterwards even when pressing ignore.
Yes, the extra columns have to be removed first. Unfortunately, the Validator as of now will only parse a CSV file if it has the exact number of columns expected.
Examine the line 1057 that has too many columns, and see what in it isn't supposed to be there. Alternatively, use a backup province.csv for validation purposes, and one for starting the game.
There were tons of ; at the end. Deleting them seems to have fixed it.
But omg even vannilla seems to be full of Bugs.

Announcement
Validator v0.8 will be the last version that supports Victoria I. The fact that Victoria II has been released, combined with the fewer modding projects and lack of interest in Victoria validation, has made continued maintenance and development of validation, especially the integration of new constraints, impractical. However, v0.8 will remain available for download indefinitely, for those interested.
If any person or group of persons is interested in continuing to maintain validation for Victoria I, then they may PM me to work out details. It seems, however, that validation is relatively complete, and that v0.8 will be sufficient for continued use, as Victoria fades slowly into the background.
