Is it possible to mod the Soviet Union into the game? I assume it would be by merging Russia, Kazakhstan etc. but I have seen a Soviet flag in the game files, is it already somewhere in the data files?

EDIT: there is also Tibet, Sikkim etc. in the flag files, are these possible to be modded in? Also, there is Gay-pride flag, http://www.flagspot.net official flag - what purpose could these serve?

Soviet union and Tibet are possible.

Soviet Union: make a new region (USSR) that includes all former USSR in it.

Tibet is currently included in China, just need to remove it from China.

There are a couple topics here that deal with this. Take a look.

OK, so I put in USSR, it's there in the region select screen, and when I start a new game I get... Armenia?! All the Soviet republics are there also, and there is no USSR.

How exactly did you create the new region? Are you using GC or SR2020?

GC.

I added the IDs of the 15 SSRs under region grouping of USSR 898, then added 898 to regionincl and removed the IDs of the SSRs

thats not creating new ones thats combining several to one

So how do I do it?

take a look here, instead of using my Countries use Soviet Union, though the Supreme wiki site is still in progress

You have to group regions in the CVP file AND you have to modify the Region Include file...AND rebuild a cache file

I too am trying to recreate the USSR, however in the mean time I have managed to ressurrect Yugoslavia.

I've tried using the ''USSR'' country in the global crisis, I believe it's number 898.

I am sure I did all of this correctly.

However whenever I try to start the game it starts as India (?!) when I pick USSR after the cache had finished loading and I had properly launched the game once more.

I'll upload the USSR file I edited.

Now if ur going to say I grouped it wrong.

I also used this format

701 (central asian stans and georgia (without ossetia, abkhazia)
702
703
704
705
706
707
708
801 (petersburg, moscow, rest of russia)
802
803
804
805
806
807
808
809 (ossetia & abkhazia)
810
1101 (belarus, ukraine & moldova)
1102
1103
1110 (these next four are estonia, latvia, lithuania & kaliningrad)
1111
1112
1113

but no succes. Although all the regions have been properly taken out and merged when looking at the map. (with both methods).

I've made sure that none of the grouped regions appear as selectable through the regioninclude file. (in other words, they were taken out and only 898 added)

Am I missing something?

btw if it matters, I'm using the globalcrisis.OOB and OOF and other assorted global crisis files.

Solved it.

Really stupid though.

Apperantly regions 809 and 810 are listed in the regionincluded file aswell as the cvp file for global crisis.

However neither are actualy in the map.

So when I added them to the USSR, I added something which did not exist according to the file's. And it jumped to the next region playable from the regionincluded.

Anyways good to know is that I figured it out on my own and I hope none of u all will make the same mistake

There is a scripted event in GC's cache setup that makes them fall to Georgia first turn. This is how we make those areas belong to Georgia but loyal to their own interests.

hmmm alright

but I've got a new problem now

I've set it up the way I've posted above except 809 & 810.

That works, as in, it doesn't crash the game, however. regions 809 & 810 now fall to...the world region...aka nobody, international territory.

How do I go about fixing this or do I have to live with it?

look for the event in the .csv override file that is making them die.

You could adjust your group to pre include them.

I take it, it's these line's in the csv file in campaignGC?

from the

&&EVENTS

0, 0, 8, , 809, 703, False, False, False, False, False, 1, 0, 0, , , , , ,
0, 0, 8, , 810, 703, False, False, False, False, False, 1, 0, 0, , , , , ,

hmmm...(looks further)

I've noticed something...

using this system of eliminating the region doesn't properly transfer the regions data. population numbers, gdp/c and other factors are not taken into account.

That is why israel starts with 6.9 million population eventhough it has the gaza strip and west bank. Palestine has 3.5 million extra population however this is not properly added up now. This actualy gave me a smirk when playing as israel lol ''What palestine nation?''

Same goes for georgia and kurdistan.

Anyways thanks for telling me though, I'm changing it asap

Edit:

P.S

If my hunch on the event lines was right, why is palestine not added to the eventsline? I see no line regarding 502's demise.
