Common Modding Questions / Answers / Resources

[Gwayne]

I thought that we actually also needed a thread where people could post questions about modding, and to collect resources.

I would suggest that good questions and answers are then moved to the Stellaris Wiki

http://www.stellariswiki.com/Stellaris_Wiki

I will help with that as well..

My question is about name lists

Is it possible to add numbers like this to ship names, in this case, destroyers

destroyer = {

sequential_name = "%O% Wall of peace"

}

Also would it possible to do the same with names, so you get Louis the 1th, Louis the 2th etc.

I'm wondering about the .mod file we'll use for the mods. Does it use the same structure as ck2 and eu4 or it is slightly different ? If so, how ?

What does all the %% do in names? I have no idea how to even google it.

 

[Gwayne]

I assume that it adds a variable to the sentence. So its a generated value.

Is there a way to add weight to individual names?
tried doing it the same way as in eu4, ended up with a lot of "=" names.

Is there a way to see the current amount of planets each player has in game? Population would be good to.

How could I import a premade flag for use in a game? I'd like to use a Confederate battle flag for my Terran Confederacy.

Is there a way to see the current amount of planets each player has in game? Population would be good to.

I believe the way to see the current amount of planets would be: num_owned_planets while the population is: num_pops

I got this information from looking through the files in the events folder, more specifically crisis_events_1.txt
