Hey everyone. I am attempting to convert my save, keep getting "Black is not a cached color" and it stops at 15%. I am using the Xbox pc game pass copy of CK3 and the steam copy of EU4. I'm not sure if that's the issue. I appreciate the help. Log attached.

You don't have access to gamepass installation folder. Sorry, nothing we can do. Go and try to view any files over there and send a love letter to Microsoft.
 
Well, I purchased CK3 on steam (was gonna do it anyway when my game pass ran out) and now I am receiving this error. Any assistance would be soooo appreciated, really really excited to carry on my first megacampaign.

Yes. Get the Cainite build from the first post of this thread and retry please.
 
Hi! I attempted to convert my CK3 game to EU4, but error messages pop up and i don't know what i'm doing wrong :/
1. Use cainite build, not baltic
2. Don't use custom mod names that have spaces, other punctuation or nonenglish characters. Ideally don't alter the mod name at all if you don't have a reason to.
 
Hi, everyone! The team is back with yet another converter for you to enjoy. If you aren't aware what these do, this tool will allow you to convert a CK3 game into an EU4 mod.

If you'd like to join the team, feel free to hop on over to the development thread.

The converter has detailed documentation available at its wiki page, please read it if you need any explanation on how the conversion works.

0.2B - Baltic: Latest Stable Release (Download)

Just In Time Release


Hot on the heels of both the Adamite release and the CK3 1.1 update that followed the next day, we have managed to sync the converter to updated province mappings as well as shove in a significant amount of hotfixes. This version should hold water long enough for us to dive deeper into the game balance and other expansions.

Latest Development Release (Download)
View attachment 634831


This is the most recent development build of the CK3 to EU4 Converter. You should choose this version if you want access to the latest experimental features of the converter. Because these features are experimental, you may run into some problems with your save during conversion or while playing your save in Europa Universalis 4. However, with the exception of errors, you should be on the cutting edge of converter technology and get to play with new features.

FAQ

Q: Is this the official converter?''
A: This converter has been done by the same team that specializes in other Paradox converters:
CK2->EU4, EU4->Vic2, Vic2->HoI4, CK2->EU3, EU3->Vic2, Vic2->HoI3, and relatively soon, Imperator->CK3
It is not official, but it produces as accurate conversion as possible.

Q: I have an ironman save. Can it be converted?
A: Yes.

Q: What about mods?
A: Unless they change how cultures, religions or flags work, sure, use mods. Total map overhauls are not supported (of course), and whatever new cultures and religions are brought by the mod - you'll have to add manually in the files in configurables folder.

Q: How can I customize my game after converting?
A: Use the guide in after_converting.txt in the converter subdirectory. Scan through configurables/ folder and look into the myriad of configuration files - a great majority of these files is intended to be modified by users to achieve specific conversion results.

Q: Is linux supported?
A: The converter does compile on Linux, and you need to compile it from source it to run it. Clone the github repository + all submodules, and run build_linux.sh. If you already have ImageMagick 7 installed, delete relevant commands from the script. Also you'll need to export LD_PATH for the imagemagick libs so the converter can find them. You may need to export the path even when compiling and installing ImageMagick from source.

Q: Is OSX supported?
A: No, none of the developers has a Mac and we cannot do a port. If you have experience in coding and are willing to help us, we're always interested.

Q: I have found errors / bugs / glitches / wrong provinces / culture mismaps / religion mismaps / broken names /...
This is good! We need user input to see where we mapped stuff wrong. Please report any bugs on this thread. When reporting upload your ck3 save, converter's log.txt and describe in detail what is wrong. Screenshots always help. We fix user reported bugs as priority.

Q: I want to help!
We always need help. Not only for this converter, but all others. As they share the same pool of developers we're often stretched thin. We need experienced coders, with working knowledge of C++ and git. We also need modders willing to scour through our mapping files, verify the events, triggers, general data files and so on. If you think you could contribute, please visit our development thread and say hello.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Quick Troubleshooting

Q: The generated mod was in a different language than my savegame.
A: At the moment, CK2ToEU4 only guarantees english localisation, but german, french and spanish are nominally supported.

Q: Some/all country names appear as X25, FRA etc.
A: This is an issue with the localisation. Only english is guaranteed, and you may be running EU4 in some other localization. Also, CK3 often lacks named and adjectives for various titles in non-english languages. We try to use english localisation when this happens.

Q: I loaded my mod, but nothing changed. What's wrong?
A: Is the mod enabled in the launcher? If so, then EU4 refused to load it due to possible errors. Come to PDX forums and upload your save, log.txt and errors.txt so we may debug.

Q: The country crashes upon selecting a country and pressing play (at map selection)
A: Upload your save, log.txt and errors.txt to PDX forums for further study.

Q: The game forbids me to select nations.
A: Upload your save, log.txt and errors.txt to PDX forums for further study.

will the next release have the ability to convert using converted saves from imperator rome?

You can grab the development build whenever you like. It's rebuilt after every commit. You can watch the commits on the github page, so when Trains pushes everything he needs, it'll be compatible. It already is, to a degree.
 
Hi, I'm having a bit of an issue with all of the converters (originally tried on a Vic2-Hoi4 conversion but it seems to be happening on all of the ones I've got downloaded). Basically, I click on the "frontend.exe" program, or run it as administrator, but nothing seems to happen (sometimes a little "loading" mouse icon, but then back to normal). The frontend doesn't load and nothing else changes - it's as if I'd never clicked. I've tried restarting the computer and have used all of the converters plenty of times before, so not quite sure what's happening. I'm running Windows 10 - as far as I can tell, nothing funky going on on that end. Any ideas?

Good news, it's just you, thankfully. Now, start by running VC_redist.x64.exe which is bundled with all converters. That's what converter needs to function.
If nothing changes:
1. Confirm you have unpacked the entire converter properly and fully, in a new folder, somewhere you have access to. Your desktop is a safe bet.
2. There is no need to run it with admin privileges, so don't.
3. you say frontend.exe, but the proper name is ConverterFrontend.exe. Just making sure you're not trying to run the ancient version of the converter. When in doubt, download the latest dev build from the first post of any converter thread.
4. Time to speak to your antivirus, windows defender or any other program which may interfere in either unpacking or execution of the converter.
See if any of this helps and report back.
 
Thanks - a bit of digging turned out it was an antivirus issue!
 
Up to two should stay as PUs for christian rulers, rest should integrate. Also, use the Cainite build if you aren't already.
I am using that build. Re downloaded it just to be sure. Additionally, I think I do have 3 kingsoms, meaning that I should only have 2 PUs, so that should be fine. Is it because I'm a king and not an emperor?

Rules are the same if you're duke or emperor. If you have 3 kingdoms (and they are not titular) and you're christian and independent, and those kindoms aren't split in PUs, I'd like to see your save and reproduce this issue. Please upload it and tell me what you're playing.

This should be the save that I was trying to convert. I was playing as Leon.
