What about adding a commandline switch so a user may enable the error logging if he wants/needs it ?

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Sure would be possible, but again: Would it see use where necessary?
- I guess a switch that turns those off might be slightly better, because then people have to expend at least a token amount of effort not to be buggered by their mistakes, but then - would it not just move the effort from modders to users ("I'll not fix this, you can just turn off the warnings.")?
I mean, the whole point is of course to actually fix the cause of the errors. Because they might be or might without warning become actual causes for faulty behaviour.
The game will not complain about errors that do not exist, after all.
... I guess I could add an error-pooling option or something, so that one is still buggered by a couple of errors, as long as any remain, but not by a prohibitive number of them...
addendum:
A06 is up, now displays meaningful error message for new checks.
This seems to be plentiful.
Do you really need more? How many would you like?

I just checked and the current limits on provinces seem to be as follows:
Code:
10000 provinces in total (currently used: less than 3000)
3000 naval provinces (currently used: less than 1200)Do you really need more? How many would you like?

Thanks for the correcting in A06!
We, german and russian modders, among other descendants of the white and red Don Cossacks,
keep the game (battle , Logistics, ...) System of AoD for better than in DH, HoI3 and Hoi4. There are in AoD three major hardcoded weaknesses for Modding: too few provinces , divisions and brigades.
We need MORE
1) provinces: 30.000 provinces in total and 10.000 naval provinces (for the future)
2) brigades: b_u01.txt, ..., b_u100.txt (or better 1 - 200)
3) divisions: d_u01.txt, ...., d_u100.txt (or better 1 - 200)
4) and the possibility to add more brigades to land and air divisions.
5) More different ressouces species would not be bad, but probably too much effort to implement this
Tzar, you and your (AoD) team have created unchallenged the best global strategy wargame of all time , but now we need some new changes, so that it stays that way.
We love AoD.
Tzar, please help us to keep this love.

Hip, hip, hooray!
you have exceeded my expectations, it is even the invalid area name displayed (not only the filename and line number)!
That is very very helpfull! Thank you very much!
>. I guess I could add an error-pooling option or something, so that one is still buggered by a couple of errors, as long as any remain, but not by a prohibitive number of them...
it's ok
Please make displaying of transportweight, max_supply_stock, max_oil_stock of units (divisions and brigades!) in production menu, it would very helpfull.
Next problem / question:
(that's not super important , only if you have time)
Tzar, my computer monitor has the screen resolution of 1920x1200, in setings.txt is:
...
0 #WINDOWED MODE (1 for on)
europa.valkyrienet.com
1920 #Width
1200 #Height
But if i start the game the file gfx \ Load_1920.bmp is never loading, but the file "Load_1024.bmp".
Why? Or better: is it really right so?
I have testet to rename the file "Load_1920.bmp" (with picture resolution 1920x1200) in "Load_1024.bmp", but at the game start it's not displaying the whole picture.
what can I do to solve the problem, or is it hardcoded?
The next display with menu after load the game come too with the small resolution of 1024x...

I have very deliberately chosen a combination of letters, which is not customary in any latin-typed or latin-transliterated language as the beginning of the word "emperor".
There might be an ukrainian photographer who uses the same handle, but that, again, is not related to regalness of any sort.
... I'll see how the game will perform with the increased province counts you propose.
Cannot quite fathom what you'd want with that - as far as I am aware the largest map currently available for AoD is the E3 map with ~8000 provinces in total and therefore a comfortable cushion of 2000 to go.
Mayhap @fabfeingold or @Fürstbischof could provide a more fine-grained statistic? It seems that both their projects currently do not offer download links, and apparently there are differently fine-grained versions of E3.
The DH version I've seen here advertises 7000 provinces in total, which would leave a reserve of 300. Too bad a connection currently for me to just download and take count myself, but that's in the description at least.

Zsar, what you think about
1) to increase the number of different buildings for construction (special factories): the aircraft factories , tank faktories, shipyards, equipment factories?
2) to increase the number of different ressources
difficult to implement?
and what do you think about the idea of a new projekt AoD 2.0?
do you know, no interest by paradox about AoD 2.0?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Full suggestions list:
1) more provinces
2) more brigades: b_u01.txt, ..., b_u100.txt (or better 1 - 200)
3) more divisions: d_u01.txt, ...., d_u100.txt (or better 1 - 200)
4) the possibility to add more brigades to land and air divisions.
5) more different ressouces species in provinces (iron, cool, oil, rubber, aluminium, molybdenum, ...)
6) more different buildings (special factories) in provinces (aircraft factories , tank faktories, shipyards, equipment factories, transportation industry, Mining industriy, power plants (and/or heavy industry, light industy, chemistry industry, electonic industry, ...?), and implement shipyards, tanks and aircraft factory max. capacity : the player can only use some IC (in %) to build ships, tanks and air craft
7) implement that the high Infrastructure level (not (only) the terrain) reduce time construction of forts, infra and industry
8) speed-combat-bonus: add combat bonus for faster units in air combats
9) IC upper limit in provinces (misc.txt)
10) one infrastruktur factor in misc.txt for increases the industrial output of the province, and on another infrastructur factor for construktion sped bonus in the province

... Too many wishes, too little time, is what I think.
As for "AoD 2.0" - it might end up in a similar vein to HoI4: notably different to the original, and mayhap shunned for that.
And how could it be different: Remakes... suck.

hm, any another Idea for programming a new even better AoD Game (not a bad remake like HoI4 / 3)? Only you can make hardcoded changes? Then we have only you for this.
>too little time
We understand that fully, and will wait, wait and wait. Ok?
Really, do we have an another alternative???
Is it possible to get to the code of AoD for onother peaple?
What should we do, Zsar? What can we do?
Look, that what you're doing now (AoD 1.11 A01 - A06) is just super
Ok?I know many games, AoD is very very funny, but we, modder, need more possibilities for modding.
Give us more opportunities to improve the game, for example, by misc.txt
(ex. speed combat bonus: add combat bonus for faster units in air combat)
But the most important , you and your team
please keep it up,
stays with us and with the beloved AoD! Ok????

is that implemented in AoD now or not?
I am not sure

I am not sure
No. Constructing buildings does not depend on the infra in the province. However, Infra may influence how fast repairing buildings will happen.
I think that would be very useful and very realistic. With one entry for how fast factor in misc.txt.

Higher Infra already increases the industrial output of a province. Also decreasing the time required to construct a building might be overpowered.
ach, Pang Bingxun, let please the modder decide what makes sense, and determine the height of all bonuses.
a) We need one infrastruktur factor in misc.txt for increases the industrial output of the province, and on another infrastructur factor for construktion sped bonus in the province.
We could then maker lower the factor for increases the industrial output
realistic is both! We need a factor to reduce time construction of forts, air bases, radars, ... (not (only) of IC)
b) then we need that a minister can speed up the construction of infrastructure
Unlimited expansion of industrial capacity in a province is a greet problem!

Full suggestions list:

2) more divisions: d_u01.txt, ...., d_u100.txt (or better 1 - 200)

[ implement that the high Infrastructure level (not (only) the terrain) reduce time construction of forts, infra and industry ]

9) speed-combat-bonus: add combat bonus for faster units in air combats
10) IC upper limit in provinces (misc.txt)

a) the infrastructure expansion in a state also depends on the government / minister, can you agree with me? or no?
(the expansion of infrastructure costs money in reality)
we dont have in AoD this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Transport
"Specific responsibilities may include overseeing road safety, civil aviation, maritime transport, rail transport, developing government transportation policy, organizing public transport, and the maintenance and construction of infrastructural projects. Some ministries have additional responsibilities in related policy areas such as infrastructure, public works, waterworks, construction, communication, housing and economic activities, such as industry and trade.
In many jurisdictions, transportation policy is often assumed by an Infrastructure Ministry"
b) in the desert or in the forest with high infrastructure all buildings can be built more quickly than on a flat, where is little infrastructure exists, can you agree with me? or no?

They already exist, if only as national ideas. But changing ministers to achieve the same is possible for modders already, just copy the entries from ideas to ministers.
That does seem a bit redundant as the faster units already have better combat values that reflect their higher speed.
It does depend on ideas, on sliders and techs influencing gearing bonus. That is at given effective ic spend on infrastructure. By spending more ic it can be accellerated aswell.
Well, usually infra is higher in flats. Building Infra up in forest(+25%), hills(+50%), swamp(+100%) or desert(+150%) takes way longer than in urban or plains. So in most circumstances the opposite of your presumption is true.
I tend to agree that constructing buildings at higher infra will be cheaper, the question is whether the degree of cheaperness exceeds the savings from faster repairs. That is unclear to me. Also most buildings can be constructed outside a province and be placed into one afterwards.
