1. I written the events in correct code and put them in a file along with the other event files.

2. I edited the text.csv file so story appears.

3. I edited the events.txt as well

What is left?

Do you have valid triggers?
Have you tested them using the console (F12, type "event <eventid>")?
Do you get any error messages?
 
Oops, hahaha. I guess I was too impatient to play through 2 years to see the outcome of the revolts. Do you know if Byzantium chose the Big or Small revolts (choices D & A respectively)? How about this version:

# Pretender to the Throne - Ottoman effects #

event = {
id = 16002
random = no
country = TUR
name = "Pretender to the Ottoman Throne"
desc = "In 1421, the Ottoman Sultan, Mehmed I, died. His son, Murad II, ascended the throne. However, the Byzantines were holding Mehmed's brother, Mustafa, prisoner on the island of Lemnos. Hoping for the best, and urged on by his son (John VIII), Manuel II released this pretender to the throne, creating civil war in the Ottoman Empire. The Venetians took the opportunity to attack the Ottoman navy."
style = 1

action_a = { # OK
name = "Focus on the revolts"
command = { type = revolt which = 358 }

}
} # End Pretender to the Throne - Ottoman effects id 16002 #

# Pretender to the Throne - Ottoman effects #

event = {
id = 16003
random = no
country = TUR
name = "Pretender to the Ottoman Throne"
desc = "In 1421, the Ottoman Sultan, Mehmed I, died. His son, Murad II, ascended the throne. However, the Byzantines were holding Mehmed's brother, Mustafa, prisoner on the island of Lemnos. Hoping for the best, and urged on by his son (John VIII), Manuel II released this pretender to the throne, creating civil war in the Ottoman Empire. The Venetians took the opportunity to attack the Ottoman navy."
style = 1

action_a = { # OK
name = "Focus on the revolts"
command = { type = revolt which = 358 }
command = { type = revolt which = 358 }
command = { type = revolt which = 477 }
}
} # End Pretender to the Throne - Ottoman effects id 16003 #

I cut in half the size of the revolts.

P.S. does the size command on the boards here not work? :(

I don't see a reason to cut the revolt size in half... The Ottomans need to be seriously destabilized by it, as happened irl. Though the true Sultan did rather quickly annihilate this pretender, it wasn't nessecarily something for him to do overnight.

But it is, after all, up to you what to do with it. I'm no good at coding :)
 
Eh, Murad killed the first Mustafa after a couple of months in 1422 (despite his control of Macedonia and army approaching Bursa), then killed the second Mustafa, when he appeared at the end of that year, a few months after that, despite similar initial success.

As I recall, the skittish vassals in Serbia and eastern Anatolia barely had time to get ready to throw off his suzerainty before he was back on top.

I have no problem with the current amount of destabilization from the revolts, except that it should be harder for Byzantium to take advantage of it. WE know that Byzantium should have acted decisively then, as during other times in the early 15th century. But I doubt they could have raised the 15k men they start with in EU2, let alone a larger army for successful offensive operations.

That's why I'm probably going to leave the revolts alone, but take away 10k soldiers from their starting position (I'll put 2k in Morea :)) and decrease their loan size to 100D. Then let 'em rip!

Oh, and I missed the Hexamilium event (as Austria) even though I was looking for it, but the fortification level in Morea DID increase to small. I wonder if they had to take out a loan? I wish they would hold off taking Athens long enough for my event to occur. :(

I tried out the events last night and found the rebels crushed pretty quickly. I guess that you could take advantage of it but ít´s pretty hard.
 
I think you all are right, that the pretender revolts ARE right, it's just the fact that the human player takes advantage of the situation Byzantium SHOULD have that makes it seem easier than it should.

BTW, while watching the AI play Byzantium (I was Ireland), I noticed that it chose to move the capital to Morea even though they still had Constantinople, and weren't at war with the Turks. Can you change that event to trigger only when the Turks occupy Thrace?

It can be changed from 1.02 on:

(trigger = { control = { province = (347?) data = TUR } } )
 
Yes we do however we are trying to work out the kinks in them as yet. We keep them at a super-secret webbpage were the evil guys at paradox as you so quaintly named them cannot get them.
 
Oh, and to rest of the guys. I think we are pretty much constrained to create future events without dates since it will impossible to predict when something should happen. We have to rely more on DP-scale and ownership of provinces. The religious events we are pondering should be triggered by the DP-scale.
