Changing the starting date?

[Fistalis]

Well, I cached it. But I don't think it's working.

If you cached it make sure you replace the old cache. etc.
Post the event if you want, i'll look at it. there is so many working parts to an event its hard to guess what could be wrong without seeing the event code.

Ok, here's my new event line.

0 17 889 2989 FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE

[Fistalis]

Ok, here's my new event line.

0 17 889 2989 FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE

Should look like this

Code: Select all

0, , 17, , 889, 2989, False, False, False, False, False, , , , , , , , ,

The correct number of commas at the end is important.. removing one can result in the even not going off, and only the F in false is capitalized.
Note about event 17 it doesn't send a a message or effect relations so the only way to see if its going into effect is to check if they are at war.

Okay, hows this now?

0, , 17, , 889, 2989, False, False, False, False, False, , , , , , , , ,

0, , 17, , 889, 2989, False, False, False, False, False, , , , , , , , ,

looks good
Edit although there looks like theres extra space when I quote it.. are you using TABs?
I don't know if tabs being there will effect them or not but figured id mention it lol.

Will it still show them as enemies under the Allies/Enemies window?

yes, copy the code I pasted above if needed.. you have tabs inserted in spaces which may bug it up.

I still don't think it worked. It was worth a try, though.

feel free to post the scenario and .csv file and i'll take a look. It should work but theres always the potential of a small mistake.

[Boeing707]

Should I send you the files by email or something, because it won't let me post them here.

[Fistalis]

You can use drop box or a file hosting site or Email me..whichever is easier for you, I Pmed you my email address.

[Fistalis]

I'm not seeing your event in the .CSV where did you put it?

[Boeing707]

It works, man! Thanks!

[Fistalis]

It works, man! Thanks!

Glad I could help you.. if you want to further understand how the files were set up for this please ask. For others who missed a bit of conversation.

Well, it was also not working before I reinstalled it. Thats pretty much the reason I reinstalled the game.

Lol

there. Just drop that into your scenario folder. Then add any events you want to Custom.csv.
No recaching required, just choose the new scenario under custom scenarios instead of running the campaign. (should make it easier and faster for you to play with different events)

This is basically setup for people to play with events. Modify your custom events as needed.(if you break something just copy the blank events file over the broken one

Haha, I think I'm getting the hang of it. I just made Puerto Rico into an independent country and I also made it playable. Although when I wanted to make it communist and be aligned with the USSR, it would just stay as a democracy and aligned with the US. Oh well.
EDIT: Now it worked. Puerto Rico is communist and aligned with the USSR
