What is wrong with my events?

[unmerged(13741)]

What am I doing wrong?

I have created some events which I want to happend if Italy conquers Yugoslavia (creation of independent Croatia and dividing of the rest of the country to Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany and Italy, just as it was in 1941). The events I have saved as a text-file (labelled new.txt) and saved in the events-directory. In the text-file events I have added the line

event = "db\events\new.txt"

and I have also in the config-directory changed the text.csv file, and added the names and descsriptions for the new events.

Does anybody know why this doesn't work? When I try to load the game it either crash or a pop up menu says that it is some kind of Database Mismatch.

Where is the failure? Thanks for any help!

Try giving new IDs to your events, say from 6000 or 7000...

Hi,

I don't use the .csv file for labels... I type the text directly in the event name and description and this should rid you of the database mismatch...

1- I would restore the original text.csv
2- Type the text in the events
3- Try to run them...

If you still have problem come back here and we'll look at your code...

e.g


#########################################################################
# National Resources Mobilization Act (NRMA)
# Manpower +100 Dissent +3 War Entry + 10
#########################################################################

id = 20001

The National Resources Mobilization Act will give special emergency powers to the Governors-In-Council, allowing them to make available human and material resources to defend Canada. All citizens must sign up, thereby placing themselves and their property within the discretion of his Majesty King George the Sixth. In opposition to this Act, some French Canadians, in the province of Quebec, felt it was a prelude to conscription, despite the promises made by the government against it during the last provincial election. (Historical date: 21 June 1940 )"

I will try

Thanks for all help! I will try those when I come home from work today.

 

[unmerged(13741)]

All works great now!

Thanks to JosipT and Extro for the help. I have changed my events to their recommendations, and now they all work fine! Thanks!
