Several modding questions

[Stigandr]

Hey all,

So I've started that Sami Pagan game I mentioned... On CK-DV DVIP(with Addon) and the Pagan playable mod. I've noticed that "High Chief of Western Sames" (my chosen character) is equivalent to a Duchy. I want my primary title to be a Sami one, but (if I do well) I may end up getting the Kingdom of Norway or Sweden. Presumably my primary title would then switch to that title, and I'd just be a Pagan Sami King of Norway or Sweden?

Therefore I'd like to create a new kingdom, by leeching off those two kingdoms. I was thinking the six northernmost provinces, IIRC Lapland, Halogoland, Angermanland, Vasterbotten, Jamtland, Trondelag. How would I create a new "Kingdom of Saapmi" and transfer those provinces to this kingdom, while leaving the Duchy structure untouched? Also, would I be able to do this and keep my savegame, or would it likely be messed up by me messing with the DVIP kingdom layout?

Also, anyone know a good CoA I could use? (I know there's the modern Saapmi flag, but I assume it would need to be put inside a shield to be usable as a CoA?)

Many thanks for your patience with my many questions!

Cheers,
Stigandr.

For creating a kingdom, see this post

Hello everybody.

Before all i'm sorry for my english, i expect to explain basically my ideas.

I'm a very amateur modder of CK, and I follow some of your guides and tools for making
easy things like change names, characters and traductions of texts.
I have created a semi-fantastical scenario for the 1066 scenario (in teh begining, of course)
and I want to create new kingdoms, duchies and new vassal relations. For example, I want to
divide de Irish isle in two kingdoms, Irelnad and Northern Ireland (for example).

I try to create a new tag for de new kingdom of Northern Ireland (IRLN) and modify the
country.csv, the 1066_scenario.txt, 1066_titles.txt and 1066_countries.txt. and change all
characters implicated. I think that I'm doing well but it doesn't work.

Perhaps it's impossible to do what i wan't. ¿Someone can light me?

Thanks.

You can't create new tags like IRLN but there are tags that aren't used in the game, like GPOL and LPOL and there are tags that modders can use to create kingdoms, the so-called user definied tags U000 to U020

I am guess that you don't want the title to be held by someone at the start of the scenario ? Since at the start of the 1066 scenario there is also no one who holds the title king of Ireland

To create a new kingdom
1. Go to the file Crusader kings/config/worldnames.csv look for these lines (in my example I will use tag U002 to create Northern Ireland

U002;User Defined;Défini par l'utilisateur;Paramétrable;Def. por usuario;User Defined;;;;;;x

change it to

U002;[B][COLOR=Lime]Northern Ireland[/COLOR][/B];Défini par l'utilisateur;Paramétrable;Def. por usuario;User Defined;;;;;;x

2. Then go to Crusader kings/db/country.csv and look for the tag IREL (=Ireland)

IMER;DarkGray;georgian;red_dark;yellow_regular;X
INGE;DarkRed;finnish;yellow_regular;purple_regular;X
IREL;DarkGreen;irish;blue_light;yellow_regular;X
ISTR;Brown;southslavic;red_regular;gold_regular;X

Copy the line Ireland and rename it to U002, and change the colours a bit, I just made them into these colours but you can pick any colour that is supported by the game

IMER;DarkGray;georgian;red_dark;yellow_regular;X
INGE;DarkRed;finnish;yellow_regular;purple_regular;X
IREL;DarkGreen;irish;blue_light;yellow_regular;X
[B][COLOR=Lime]U002;Green;irish;yellow_regular;red_regular;X[/COLOR][/B]
ISTR;Brown;southslavic;red_regular;gold_regular;X

3. Then go to the file Crusader kings/db/provinces.csv

And look for the provinces that you want to make part of this new kingdom, in my example I am only going to add the 3 northern counties of Ulster

3;PROV3;Tir Connail;Britain;Eire;908;Hills;0;irish;2;ULST;IREL;NONE;NONE;NONE;
4;PROV4;Tir Eoghain;Britain;Eire;907;Hills;0;irish;3;ULST;IREL;NONE;NONE;NONE;
5;PROV5;Ulaid;Britain;Eire;907;Hills;0;irish;3;ULST;IREL;NONE;NONE;NONE;

And change the kingdom tag from IREL to U002

3;PROV3;Tir Connail;Britain;Eire;908;Hills;0;irish;2;ULST[COLOR=Lime];[B]U002[/B][/COLOR];NONE;NONE;NONE;
4;PROV4;Tir Eoghain;Britain;Eire;907;Hills;0;irish;3;ULST;[b][COLOR=Lime]U002[/B][/COLOR];NONE;NONE;NONE;
5;PROV5;Ulaid;Britain;Eire;907;Hills;0;irish;3;ULST[COLOR=Lime];[B]U002[/B][/COLOR];NONE;NONE;NONE;

4. Now you must only add a coat of arms to the game, I will use the same coat of arms as the coat of arms of the duchy of Ulster.
Go to Crusader kings/gfx/COA file look for the coat of arms names ULST copy this one and rename it to U002

Now you have added a creatable new kingdom named kingdom of Northern Ireland

EDIT
Make copies of all the files that you want to change

There is no need to modify the scenario files for kingdoms you want to be creatable

I can't help you with the CoA, but the easiest way is just to copy/paste the West Sami CoA and rename it.

Newly add kingdoms are compatible with save-games before the kingdoms were modded in.

That's brilliant, and worked perfectly! Thanks again for the help! I hope the DVIP maker doesn't mind me messing with his work...

I managed thanks to these guidelines here to create a kingdom. But how do I create I duchy? I want to make a new duchy of Ingermanland out of Kexholm, Vodi and Torzhok. How do I do it?

You will have to use a duchy-tag for that. Since almost all are already used and there are no user-defined duchy-tag you will either have to find out which one isn't used or re-use an existing one.

Which duchy-tag is free depends on the version of the game you are using.

For CKDV Free Tags: ARTO ATRI ELRI EUPH GOTL ISTR KAPP KRAI MADA MORO PALM PETR STEI STRY TYRE

 

[unmerged(26364)]

Yes, I'm using CKDV. I found the free duchy tags, but how do I continue?

The only thing that is different from creating a kingdom is the column in which you fill in the tag of the duchy in db/provinces.csv

So these entries need to be changed

3;PROV3;Tir Connail;Britain;Eire;908;Hills;0;irish;2;[COLOR="lime"]ULST[/COLOR];U002;NONE;NONE;NONE;
4;PROV4;Tir Eoghain;Britain;Eire;907;Hills;0;irish;3;[COLOR="lime"]ULST[/COLOR];U002;NONE;NONE;NONE;
5;PROV5;Ulaid;Britain;Eire;907;Hills;0;irish;3;[COLOR="lime"]ULST[/COLOR];U002;NONE;NONE;NONE;

 

[unmerged(26364)]

I managed to do that. Now I would like to have a nice CoA of Ingermanland as well, but I aim not really able to do one myself. Maybe there is one somewhere already?

Not that I know, but you could ask in this thread if someone could make one for you.
