I just picked up the restore the roman empire, pentarch and mend the schism achievements, and literally one year later every county in the empire has black death smoke over it and I've got a backlog of 400+ "____ has contracted/died of buebonic plague" alerts. Yep. The black death only occurs once in the 14th century, but it's by far the most lethal disease in the game. I made a mod so it more reliably spawns, but I'll need to fish up the latest version.

Oh, why the gently caress not ask here? For awhile now I've been looking for things and how to do them in a pretty specific vein: how to have a big empire playthrough with as amazon-like religion/culture/rulership/dynasty ect. I've managed to mod most things to my satisfaction, but some really hard poo poo (like trying to transform the autocephalous Patriarchy into a Matriarchy - having the AI random generate only female pentarchs) just constantly keeps bugging out on me and I'm fed up with the time I threw into it all. So I put it to you folks in here: Is there a mod out there by this point, that focuses on this kind of thing? Like I said, I already know how to mod in laws like enatic succession or job availability for both sexes, but I never manage to make it go all the way (not just enabling it for women, but also forbidding it for men), to the point where it'd be rare to see a man in a position of power within my realm.

Where is the mighty Asperg dynasty located? I know they have barony somewhere just north of the alps, but I forget where exactly. I need to play a game where I try to make as many royal houses in Europe be proud aspergers! Also, does anyone have any favorite "hidden" dynasties out there? I know the von Hohenzollerns hold a barony in the 1066 start, and the Hapsburgs are not too far away in a county in upper burgundy - and I also know that each developer has a dynasty of their own hidden away somewhere. Are there any other fun ones out and about?

So I've slowly realized making a large-scale mod like Rise of Islam is tough when you're still learning how to mod. So I've decided to make some tiny, minor mods to help me learn how to code events, localisation and governments too. Now I've decided to make a tiny mod involving Iceland in 769. Iceland wasn't settled by the Norse until 870, which works for the Old Gods start date but not Charlemagne. My solution is to put Inuit or some North Atlantic tribe on the island instead. I'd also mod in a new pagan religion for them. I also have an idea for a seal/whale hunting event chain. It may be ahistorical as gently caress, but I think it'll turn out fun.

So I've decided to make some tiny, minor mods to help me learn how to code events, localisation and governments too. I keep running into stumbling blocks with my own modding. I eventually want to make a moderately-sized mod with a number of unique events and decisions, but I know my limits and am currently focusing on the basics: Two traits and perhaps four events. The traits are easy enough and, in preparation for this post, I actually solved one of the biggest problems I was having (Where the game keeps things like EVTDESC76006), but I do still have a silly question, just for confirmation: I can create my own event and localisation files, yes? I'm not forced to append my stuff into an existing one?

Dareon posted:I can create my own event and localisation files, yes? I'm not forced to append my stuff into an existing one? Yes, as long as it's not modifying an existing event. Localisation files can be new files yet can also modify existing entries (ie, you could rename Germanic back from Norse without editing the file that has "norse_pagan") so you have a bit more freedom with them. GunnerJ posted:The thing that really frustrates me about CK2 modding is that everything is defined across dozens of files scattered throughout multiple directories. I just wish the localisation files were better organized.  Also, I got a lot done with the Inuit mini-mod. I'll post some pictures later today.

Just load up a game and type in the name of the Dynasty you want, then click their portrait and then their coat of arms to zoom to their capital county. Retire, find them, and play.

Hitlers Gay Secret posted:Yup, just had a spelling error. Haha, yeah, I decided to work on a mod that adds just stuff, I figured I'd add some cultures, right now it's basically just my Cornish mod, plus a bunch of Norse melting pots, but I just started. Anyway, I've somehow wiped out Russian culture and I'm not sure what I did wrong or how to fix it. Russian culture is just noculture, I didn't mess around with any of those provinces, so it must be something I did in the cultures file, but Russian in my mod and Russian in the vanilla cultures.txt appear to be exactly the same. I ran it through the Validator and it tells me that it can't parse my cultures.txt because the file was not properly closed with a closing bracket, but everything there seems fine too? It's only Russian that's missing. Edit: Fixed it, did indeed have a missing bracket, assumed it would be at the end due to the way it was worded though, but never mind that, Russian culture is back (the bracket was nowhere near Russian). catlord fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Sep 22, 2015 |

Alright! Time to show off some what I've been doing for pretty much the last 24 hours. We got Inuits living on Iceland in 769, what more could you ask for? And yes, they are wearing Norse clothing, thanks for asking. What else?  A whole new pagan religion for you to ignore!  Giant loving names that make no sense in your native tongue! It says "Island that is frozen"

It started as Inuit Pagan but I changed that after it said "You are playing as a Inuit Inuit Pagan" and now I saw it say "Ar(c)tic Pagan Pagan" so back to the drawing board. I have a reformed name for it already, Kilarukilisiilak, but coming up with a bland unreformed name is hard. Maybe Polar? North Arctic? Also, this religion may be worse than West African. You got no boats on an island at the farthest point from civilization. With pagan prestige penalties. It's bad.

Most of the vanilla names for the ethnic pagan religions just use the first half of whatever ethnicity the religion pertains to, e.g. "Germanic" instead of "Germanic Pagan" and "Slavic" instead of "Slavic Pagan". So I guess just using "Inuit" (or "Thule" if you wanted to be more historically accurate, as the various Inuit identities were still a single ethnic group spreading across northern Alaska by this time), and then using "Kilarukilisiilak" or whatever for the reformed name.

The only problem with using Inuit is then you'd get "Inuit Inuit" as the culture and religion. It's probably why Pdox changed Norse to Germanic (Norse Norse looks fuckin' silly). I want to avoid using Thule or Dorset since those were names given centuries later by scientists and not anyone who actually encountered them. I might go with "Iñupiak" as their culture and "Arctic" for the unreformed religion.

Based on your post history I assume that's a deal breaker for you. Otherwise you can edit the save file and/or a utility that edits the file for you would be trivial to make. It is kind of dumb that character names aren't easily changed ingame when title names are.

Well then it is pretty drat easy to just open the save file (uncompressed) in notepad++ and search for the character's name, or if it's a common name you can always search for "MrHuman" to locate the current player character and change the character's name. The annoying part is having to close and re-open the game which takes a minute or two even on a fast PC. It's pretty retarded that there's no console command to change a character's name. You can change a character's culture, religion, nickname, traits, stats, give them titles or claims, move them, kill them, etc. etc. etc., but you can't change their name. Even though it's just a plain text string in the savefile and there are zero complications to editing the savefile yourself to change the name.
