Accolades modding

[M. Schenk]

Want to make some changes in the way game handles Accolades succession with overall goal of stopping autonomous succession if successor wasn't picked (game just assign new Accolade without asking) but can't find the code responsible for assigning new Accolade after death of his predecessor.

In events/accolades_events I found two events, but it seems to me that they're just showing notification about succession done.

#Accolade succession with unchanged types
# by Jason Cantalini
accolade.0004 = {
    hidden = yes

    trigger = {
        has_dlc_feature = accolades
    }

    immediate = {
        send_interface_toast = {
            title = accolade.0004.new_acclaimed_knight.tt
            left_icon = scope:new_acclaimed_knight
            custom_tooltip = accolade.0004.new_acclaimed_knight_name.tt
            custom_tooltip = accolade.glory_loss.tt
        }
    }
}

#Accolade succession with new secondary type
# by Jason Cantalini
accolade.0005 = {
    hidden = yes

    trigger = {
        has_dlc_feature = accolades
    }

    immediate = {
        send_interface_toast = {
            title = accolade.0005.new_acclaimed_knight_new_type.tt
            left_icon = scope:new_acclaimed_knight
            custom_tooltip = accolade.0005.new_accolade_type.tt
            custom_tooltip = accolade.0005.new_acclaimed_knight_succeeds.tt
            custom_tooltip = accolade.glory_loss.tt
        }
    }
}

Events called from on_action/accolade_on_action

# Root = Accolade
# Event targets: glory ( value ), new_accolade_type ( bool ), new_acclaimed_knight
on_accolade_new_acclaimed_knight = {
    effect = {
        # for accolade keeping its types
        if = {
            limit = {
                scope:new_accolade_type = no
            }
            save_scope_as = succeeding_accolade
            accolade_owner = {
                trigger_event = accolade.0004
            }
        }
        # for accolade changing its types
        else = {
            save_scope_as = succeeding_accolade
            secondary_type = {
                save_scope_as = new_secondary
            }
            accolade_owner = {
                trigger_event = accolade.0005
            }
        }
    }
}

Don't know where to go from here, I'm lost. Any help?

Well, I dug through the code, and it appears accolade succession is hardcoded in ck3.exe, same with the criterion for the accolade successors. Editing events won't do anything for this.

Alright, thank you for your time!

Maybe they had to do it since it's a DLC feature. Shame tho, the most broken thing so far in terms of UI, mechanics and now bugs too.

Follow-up: I was able to find a script that manages accolade requirements and kill all personals. This way each Knight is eligible for all accolades, and your secondary won't reset willy-nilly. It's a horrible hack, but it seems to be working and doing its job.

Sorry for the year-late question, but which script is that? I'd love to be able to actually RP with accolades, like tying them symbolically to a title or something like that, and this is the only thread I've found that mentions a solution for "unlocking" accolades besides a depreciated workshop mod.

Workshop's mod is outdated, yes. Requirements for specific accolades are in common/accolade_types folder. Files that have 'attributes' in name.
Also, rolled out updated version for mod with unlocked accolades:
