VIP - East Asia and Oceania

My advise, break each event into a different file and load them, Vicky will tell you where it is wrong.

Well, Vicky is telling me where the problems are, but for the life of me, I can't find 'em. The first error that pops up is for a missing = in statement. the line is 227, which should be the id = line for 137006. Yet the brackets are there, and so is the =.

Long description, keep it under 500 letters.

Vicky is that fiddly about desc length? Wow. that could be an issue. A minor one, but still....I'll edit the desc down and see if that works. Less than 500 eh?

 

[JRaup]

Nope, not it. Just checked the length, and it's under the limit. And if that was the case, the two previous events would have had problems, which they don't.
What a royal PITA scripting for Vicky is...makes HoI look easy...

i think the limit is around 350 letters...
to test it just comment your desc and leave an empty one like this:
#"bla bla bla bla bla...."
""

I'll test that as well. Couldn't hurt at this point. *grumble, grumble*

China event errors found and fixed

OK, I found all the errors and fixed them in my China events. The errors were stupid ones, ] instead of }, and I was missing two ='s. Didn't find them until I started breaking down the events inot spearate files. Dumb, dumb mistakes on my part.

I also tweak the offset in the missionaries events to 180 days. I may also have to change the dates for teh Payment events, as in my test run, I had three fire in 5 weeks, then the fourth some 5 months later. Not sure what I'll do, as when teh TYreaty event fires is problematic.

Otherwise, all work as intended, and smoothly. Missionary events aren't that powerful, and amazingly enough, changed teh right ammount of POPs in teh right provinces. Go figure...

NOTE: Code previously posted has been corrected, and corrected file will be uploaded to Yahoo shortly.

Great!

Keep at least three diferent files in your testings, it is way easier to debug.

Yes, I've learned my lesson.

Next up: Taiping rebellion (is there an open TAG for this?), Charles Gordon in China, Ever Victorious Army, Imperial Maritime Customs Bureau, Sir Robert Hart, secret societies, and European land grabs.

At the time, didn't China only have matchlocks?

 

[JRaup]

Not entirely. Most of the provincial units had matchlocks, while the Manchu units had flintlocks. The designs and most of the sticks were purchased from Prussia and the Dutch. The Qing dynasty started to produce flintlocks domestically around 1838 or so, but not in great quantities. Just enough to outfit the elite units. Around 1880 or so, they made a huge jump in military technology, as they effectively skipped the muzzle loaders, and went straight to breech loading rifles (purchased from various European powers). They did the same with artillery, going from iron cannons, to modern Krupp guns.

Hi, I haven't had the time to read all the events posted here. Just wondering, if Sakamoto Ryoma is mentioned, how about Fukuzawa Yukichi for Japan?

I read the biography of Fukuzawa and Sakamoto Ryoma about 10 years ago. Both of them are kinda known during their time, one is a shishi/ronin, another is more cultural, who found Keio, one of the top 4 university in Japan.

Not all ruling class are Manchu. There is the green camp/banner for converted Han Chinese. Also, don't forget the fact that China had a testing system in place way back in Tang dynasty. If you pass the exam, regardless of your race, you will be offered a position in the government. Korean, Japanese, there were documented cases where they passed the exam and were offered a position. I know the Japanese buddhist monk went back to Fusan (old Japanese name in Chinese) but don't remember what happened to the Korean.

So, there are plenty of han Chinese in the Manchu government, it's just the aristocracy, not the mandarin/officials, tend to be manchu. I've met the descendant of Li Hung Zhang and some others. They are han, not Manchu.

If I have time, I'll try to look at the current VIP Chinese and Japanese events as I've studied both country's more recent, modern history. Although I see we have Japanese here so perhaps I should get involved in Japanese events

Hey, I stumbled upon a fact that would make a good event for VIP. Please note that I have not read all of this thread, and it could have been added already for all I know.

...An area of only 50,000 square miles exporting products to the annual value of $300,000,000 was a prize of considerable magnitude. Malaya had no rubber until 1870, when the plants were first successfully cultivated from seeds smuggled out of Brazil in a British diplomatic pouch. With the advent of the automobile, demand shot up enormously, and the rubber plantations of Negri Sembilan and Pahang began to expand in proportion.

I'm thinking it could add a couple rubber-producing RGOs to British Malaya, and maybe damage relations with Brazil a little (-25 or so).

Already done. Both the smuggling of the seeds and the rubber outside Brazil.

Wow, way to stay on top of stuff, guys.

 

[Cadmus]

I'm not sure how it happened, but while I was playing the US, the Boxer Rebellion happened; I got an error message that said something was wrong with NIP_vsCHI.ai. I didn't get the exact message, but it crashed the game.

VIP - Oriental Asia

Hi everyone.
Maybe wrong but I noticed that there's nothing to guest some modifications about Japan,Korea,Phillipines and even China (how is it possible :wacko: ??)

I hope a lot of members will join me modifiing this part of the world for the MAGNIFICENT VIP mod.

thanks a lot pimpa

actually I looked for few minutes but I don't found it.

I'm sorry, moderation, you can erase this.

I noticed that there is nothing in the VIP 0.2 for Japan and the Meiji's era still starts by the same way.
I'm new here and I wonder why.

I have some ideas about the industrial rising of japan (steel and naval production) and also about the role played by the different europeans countries in the japanese learning during these 30 years (french for the right and justice, english for the navy, germans for the army and so on...)

thanks by advance to tell me if i'm the first or if it was done yet.
