I returned to CK2 after a long absence and had fun and forged a bloodline (the "hybrid_builder_bloodline_01" one) and that, as usual, got me to thinking about creating a custom bloodline, by decision, for custom characters.

And, of course, after my long absence from the game, I encountered difficulties. I did read the modding guide on the wiki (weak) and watched this video (which seemed helpful) and set about creating my own.

Three files needed.

First, create a bloodline with attributes. I decided to copy-paste those for "hybrid_murder_peace_bloodline_01" - and the bloodlines/examplebloodline.txt reads:
Code:
example_emre = {
    picture = GFX_bloodlines_symbol_murder_peace
    inheritance = patrilineal
    allow_bastards = yes
    arrest_chance_modifier = 0.05
    global_revolt_risk = -0.01
    bloodline_effect_dismantle_factions = 1
    flags = { test_bloodline }
}

Second, set up a decisions/eybloodline_decisions.txt which is as follows (I followed the video and he seemed to get it working):
Code:
decisions = {
    add_to_bloodline = {
        AI = no
        is_high_prio = yes

        potential = {
            NOT = {    has_global_flag = taken_yigit_dec }
        }

        allow = {

        }

        effect = {
            set_global_flag = taken_yigit_dec
            create_bloodline = {
                type = example_emre
                                inheritance = patrilineal
            }
        }

    }
}


Third, set up the localisation file, localisation/eyblood.csv as follows:
Code:
#CODE;ENGLISH;FRENCH;GERMAN;;SPANISH;;;;;;;;;x
example_emre;Blood of the Yigit;Many;Manytwo;;Manythree;;;;;;;;;x
example_emre_desc;Many different qualities pertain to this family;Many;Manytwo;;Manythree;;;;;;;;;x
add_to_bloodline;Claim your rightful bloodline;Many;Manytwo;;Manythree;;;;;;;;;x
add_to_bloodline_desc;This will make you the member of House Yigit;Many;Manytwo;;Manythree;;;;;;;;;x


Now, the thing is, the priority decision does indeed show up and the correct text displays to take the decision but not for the consequences, and when I click the tick, nothing happens. So I'm assuming that the problem is in the decisions/eybloodline_decisions.txt, but I've gone cross-eyed and can't see what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help?

And I realised, two seconds after psoting this that the bloodlines folder was under the main mod and not as common/bloodlines... The problem was solved, but I'll keep this posted so that perhaps someone else can benefit from my experience.
