What have I done wrong?

[Lubber]

I'm kind of a noob when it comes to modding so please help me
I tried to put a new country in the '36 campaign, but now it won't start. There's no error box coming up, it just doesn't start...
But when I start a '14 campaign, conquer the provinces and release it, everything works fine. No crash, no error, nothing. I can play it without problems :wacko:
What have I done wrong in the '36 campaign?

Maybe posting what you actually edited and what files you edited would give a better result, seems vague to me.

You have to do 3 things if you want to see a country that does note exist (of course if it is already in the game)
1. Select the starting provinces and delete them form the country they start in
2. Create a country description file for your country and add them everything that is needed
3. Mod the scenario description file

It wasn't in the game at first. I created it using the u36 country TAG.
What exactly do you mean with country description file? I think that may be the mistake, because i did the other two steps

It describes the policies, your units, techs, relations with others and so on, all in all your country's starting situation.
If it's a new country you also need tech teams, ministers, proper flag.
Not so necessary but still important: country description, unit names, AI files.

Then I did it. I also gave it a flag. Only things missing are ministers and tech teams.
But are they that important that the game won't load?
As I said, you can release it without problems and play with it in the '14 campaign...

 

[VI Imre]

Did you properly remove those provinces form their previous owners?
Perhaps a province is unowned/controlled by anyone, usually this is my problem.

I had that errormessage before, too, so I fixed it
It must be something else...

 

[VI Imre]

Then I don't know, perhaps something is missing from the country description file. Sooner or later a developer might come up with more ideas (or if they read the thread), or you can see the modding documentation, you might find something interesting in it.

Then I look if I can find the solution.
But still thank you for trying

Try loading the game in windowed mode, maybe you're not seeing the error message.
And try checking Darkest Hour\savedebug.txt for errors.

Well... kind of embarassing, but I found it and it is a really, really dumb one -.-

I accidently erased one of those -> }
sorry for bothering you all with that
