Help modding away the Ottoman Empire? (crash)

[Erik W]

So Im trying to give away the Ottomans's provinces to other nations in a mod Im working on. But if I give away their last province and thus remove the nation from the map, it crashes the game. I can't seem to find a clear answer in the crash logs either as to why this happens. To be clear, I am modifying the "buildings", "pops", "states" files in the history folder and I have replaced them as an option for starting nations. Do I need to remove them from somewhere else?

Those crashes usually come from military formations that still exist but are not in a HQ that exists. So try removing the formations there and see if it helps.

Otherwise you could possibly let an effect run in history/global that just reassigns the states to the countries you want and see if that works.

Thing is I reassigned the Ottoman military all to Byzantium essentially. Brought Byzantium back and replaced TUR with BYZ on the military formations and merged in the armies of Greece and Serbia as well. I can't imagine this would cause the problem, but I'll try it out. And I'd need to look up and see how such an effect would be coded, effect modding is not my strong suit.

A very simple version that replaces the Ottomans with Byzantium would probably look something like this:

c:TUR = {
    every_scope_state = {
        set_state_owner = c:BYZ
    }
}

If you want to make it more complex you can use the State regions as a trigger, e.g. like this:

c:TUR = {
    every_scope_state = {
        limit = {
            state_region = s:STATE_EASTERN_THRACE
        }
        set_state_owner = c:BYZ
    }
}

This actually worked, no crash now. Thank you!

It might have some weird implications at game start (like wrong informations about the country). But nice that it works now
