Take your time, cause I won't be using this on VIP 1.0. So release VIP first, or you will be tossed on fire
.BTW if you need any help, I have some time free.
Edit: Later today I will update those events.

All right Generalisimo, but I need some time to finish this, beacause you must know that creating events to me is very difficult, I'm learning quickly but it still laboured.
Scythe said:That's good advice.
Btw, Mat2k, a small detail, hopefully it's not too much of a bother for you...perhaps I could do a bit of spelling/grammar checking on the descriptions?
We may not be native english-speakers, of course, but it would be best to make the necessary corrections earlier rather than later, don't you think? Since there will probably be criticism from our target audience, as Paradox itself has already received it for a few of Victoria's original texts.
I doubled the relations for the ARG-BRZ agreement (from 10 to 20), just to make it a bit more significant (in any case, it's late enough in the game for it to have much consequence...). I also shortened a few words in some of the events, just to make them a bit clearer (and to hopefully avoid the game's text limit).
Thank you very much Scythe, of course (and as I can't hide it) I really need a second reading of my events; it's such a handicap but if you agree to tell me what is wrong in my grammar each & every time I would be glad.
If you have the M$ Word, is just matter of installing the thesaurus and grammar correction and run a check in your file.Mat2k said:
As matter of fact I will to it now.

MS Word? Sorry, I don't know what it is...
can you explain it please.
other questions, I'm stopped in the middle of my work 'cause there is some values for ARG that I don't find,look:
type = research_time value = X
type = pop_growth_mod value = X
type = life_sustainability which = [province id] value = X when = [1/0]
do you know where they are??

Microsoft Word - Text Editor
Mat2k said:
They aren't anywhere (both start at 1.0), and the 1st two aren't supposed to be tampered.
The third, normaly the value is 35 in eah province, you can check them in game. However, I recomend to use the temporaly option in life_sus command.
Mat2k said:
If you would let me do it then sure, no problem.
Mat2k said:MS Word? Sorry, I don't know what it is...
It's a word processor, made by Microsoft.
Well, in the case of these 2 commands, according to Generalisimo, we shouldn't use them too much and only in a very limited, temporary and careful manner (especially the pop_growth_mod, which can make the population skyrocket to ridiculous amounts), in order to not upset the game's balance.
Each province has "life rating" that gives a general estimation of this value, as far as I know.
EDIT: pimparel already explained it....

It will be just small numbers, as a flavor! Like POP size = 1 or 2 (tops). However if it is a general agreement to not add immigration events, just disconsidere those.
However is Vanilla Vicky, there is a immigration event in china.txt and usa.txt, involving chinamen going to san-fran or cal.
yes, but that doen't mean that i like those events....pimparel said:
(it is some kind of exchange of POPs, or soemthing like that... )
but if they are in small quantities i think it is ok...

Well the issue is open to discussion, if everybody agrees, not to use addpop (as matter of fact, it really doesn't work), let's just drop the idea. More time to focus in the other two files.
@Generalisimo, I will leave the last event of La Guerra Grande, the fall of Rosas open (It may be better to you to code), with just the command type = incflg which = flg_guerra_grande value = 1 to finish my event cycle, cause I am using the flg_guerra_grande value = 7 in the triggers to define the end of it. So I just ask you to keep the command type = incflg which = flg_guerra_grande value = 1 at the end of it.
I am still using the uprising of Urquiza, but I will let the triggers and the commands open to you too (as above), the description too. It's that I need the type = incflg which = flg_guerra_grande value = 1 to triggers some events later.
My conception of the Urquiza uprising is to give control of entre-rios to the REB, with a proper Army, and make use of the army_revolt to decrease the Rosas forces. And as the revolt grows give the command of other provinces to the REB too. Eventually the REB army will march into B.A. and you can use the same trigger that I used in the Rivera Coup d'etat, that checks if there is a REB unit in the province, and none ARG there, representing the take-over. Liked the idea? or yours are totally different?
Let me know when you have them, so I can finish La Guerra Grande & Siege of Montevideo.
no problem about the flag...
Also, Rosas was almost isolated in Buenos Aires when he fought against Urquiza, so you will have to make the entire Argentina a rebel to try to model that... :wacko:
the problem is that usually the player will do as much as he can to stop the rebellion... what does we get? a completely unhistorical Argentina without a Constitution and with Rosas in power... that's why it is better to give control to the player of the nation that wins...pimparel said:

Generalisimo said:
OK. So I will proceed and make the two events as placebo (with no triggers, only a fire date and ther only command incflg
Generalisimo said:
Well it was just a idea. After all it is your backyard
!!!Now a question for you all.
In my other set of events, which represent a failed anexation of Amapá (a territory near French Guyana). France invaded the region and it was historical resolved by diplomatic channels, where the Swiss, intervene as mediators. But in ahistorical way b) Declare Open War and c) Offer to Buy.
In the case of War. Should I make 2 "Peace Treaty" events?
a) France occupy some provinces and it triggers to BRZ recognizing and forfeiting any future claim, FRA receives on Amapá, and gives back all other provinces.
b) Brazil occupy French Guyana, triggering the other "Peace Treaty" where it receives all Guyana.
But be sure that in both "Peace Treaty" events there will be a b) option to continue.
What do you think? Do it or leave it?
EDIT: And another question. How much should Acre (2381, 2382) and Amapá (2124) cost?
pimparel said:
I think that it's a good idea to have the two peace events, though the territories in question should be held for a bit of time (in other words, the in the "peace" events there should be a startdate of a few months after the event with the "war" option has triggered)
Just guessing....perhaps 50k-100k or so between the two of them? That wouldn't really bankrupt the country, I'd think.
Well, we at the VIP South America team decided to follow the example of some of the other groups and publicly release most of the work that we've done so far, in order to provide people with a chance to test it and provide feedback.

Well, I didn't think it would be much of a problem considering that the army was stationed in Peruvian territory at the time, from what I read...though you can make the change if you believe it's necessary.
And btw, it would be "de Bolivia", if you want to be strict.

There is several errors in the CHL parties files, you sent me.
Edit: Corrected and uploaded.
