Why mod the factory files ???

[unmerged(12743)]

I've been experimenting with filenames, and it appears that you can implememnt new scenarios (including the Country and AI Definitions) WITHOUT CHANGING THE AS-RELEASED FILES.

Why maim the factory system, when all you need to do is use different filenames in the Scenario includes ?????

This isn't the right forum.. the right one is Scenarios and Modification.

Someone needs to put up a message saying what can go in here :-/

well, Burris, i think he is trying to sugest something...

@junghans:
have you tested if you can define a new Province.csv or a new text.csv or a new ministers_XXX.csv or a new leadersfileXXX.csv or new AI files???
check that and let me know....


we did that, because you can only assign new .inc files and events files to new created scenarios, the rest is taken from the original files.

cheers.

What we need to make non-destructive mods is EU2's moddir command-line parameter. It was introduced to EU2 in a patch so hopefully they will do the same here after the worst remaining bugs are ironed out.

That is a much desired enhancement and may occur faster than you might think

Nope... I say know it's a much desired enhancement, and Paradox will prolly listen to those VERY much desired stuff once.

Yes, you can for some..

The scenario files point to the AI files. so you CAN use different scenario nd AI without changing the main system. THIS IS TESTED. Add prefix such as BOLT or CORE to the name!

the other files can be expanded, not changed (i.e. more choices), if you need to. it sould work, but this not tested.

about the AI, that is not much, we haven't changed much of the common AI files, so no problem with that.
about the other files, you are talking without even seeing what we have modified, we have added new things
so your idea:

the other files can be expanded, not changed (i.e. more choices), if you need to. it sould work, but this not tested.

i don't understand it...
"expand"?? how do expand a file without MODIFYING it?
