Beginner MOD question

[Kirkegaard]

Hello everyone,

I have started making a new scenario, and I have run into two problems.

1.
I can change IC/etc. in the province.csv file, but this would affect all scenarios right? Is it possible to have a double "province.csv" file without having two folders for the entire game?


2. Events
I have made an events for Argentina, but I can only get it to work if I add it into the country "ai-arg" file. Is it possible to have it in a file of it's own?
Like "election_events" and so on, so the event will not be removed if a patch changes/updates the ai-arg file.

Best regards
Kirkegaard

As to question 1, you can edit an .inc file in scenarios directory. So it will only take effect in that particular scenario.

You want to add a block like this, this increases the Infrastructure, IC, AA, the air and naval bases in Casablanca. It's a little labourious to do so by hand if there are a large number of provinces.

province =
{ id         = 958
  infra      = 0.2
  ic         = 5
  anti_air   = 3
  air_base   = { size = 4 current_size = 4 }
  naval_base = { size = 4 current_size = 4 }
}              # Casablanca

Thanks.

I guess I can do it like this:

province =
{ id = 958, 969, 960, etc.....
infra = 0.2
ic = 5
}

and thus change infra and ic for a large number of provinces once.

Make a file out of it. Maybe call it foo.txt.

Add that file to events.txt and you are good to go.

New questions

There is two commands I don't really understand. Lets take this event as example:

#########################################################################
#  Great War Manifestation
#########################################################################
event = {
	id = 2061
	country = GER
	trigger = {
		ai = no
		NOT = { dissent = 13 }
		NOT = { event = 2000 }
		NOT = { war = { country = GER country = FRA } }
		NOT = { alliance = { country = GER country = FRA } }
	}
	name = "EVT_1110R_NAME"
	desc = "URGE_RHINELAND"
	picture = "great_war_manifestion"
	style = 0
	persistent = yes
	date = { day = 0 month = january year = 1936 }
	offset = 45
	deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1999 }
	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME1110A"
		command = { type = dissent value = 3 }
	}
}

The question is regarding:
"style = 0" What does it do, I see it all the time in the code but I can't figure out what it does...
2nd one is: "offset = 45" Does this means it have a 45% chance to fire every day or month or?


Edit: Actually I don't understand "persistent = yes" eighter...

One great resource for modding is : http://www.paradoxian.org/hoi2wiki/index.php/Main_Page

AoD mods like HoI2, maybe this can help with your questions.

style = 0 is used on older paradox games but remained in HoI2/AoD

it has no effect
