Nice work!
What the progress of work in %? And when to wait a final version (if you are ready to provide such estimates)?

provinces are re-ided for 60-70%, tags converted for 25% (but most important ones are done). A basic working converter could be done in a few weeks.
The only problem is how to convert EU2 game mechanics (inflation, tech, dp sliders etc.) into Victoria game mechanics (reforms, tech, factories etc.).

I tried to covert my game and noticed that despite I am owning Euthiopia in Eu2, it's an independent full size country in Victoria. Is it normal?
No. Are you playing EU2 with any mods? Does ethiopia exist in your game at all?
Keep in mind though that its still in the alpha phase
Keep in mind though that its still in the alpha phase
Probably my message wasn't clear enough. I mean that I annexed Euthiopia and it became a part of my country. But when I convert the game it become an independent country. I don't use any mods and I understand that this is only an Alpha. I think it's a very good idea to create this utility so I try to do some testing to help developers
I can provide you with my saved game if you need it or try to convert it later with newer version of converter with updated data. Probably this can happen not only with Euthiopia.

OK, I was just checking some obvious things that coiuld be wrong.
Send the EU2 savegame and the converted Victoria file to mvdtweel ad hotmail dot com (zipped please) and I'll take a look at it.

Zip the send game and send it to ph@telia.com, even better if you can upload it somewhere for me to download to that. I have no idea why that would happen :/. Anyhow, I have uploaded a new version of the program. Can you redownload it and see if the same things happens again with the new version?
OK. Great it's now corrected.
I have worked and designed the African continent so it would have forced me to go back and re-check everything again. But hey!, we're still on Alpha!
I am working on Siberia now, many EU2 provinces are going to be left on the road, so I hope we do not get many complaints

Just an observation. Would it be possible to add a version number in the readme.txt file so this way we can know which version are we speaking about (and also working) and perhaps, I repeat perhaps, add a little comment on which things have been added or corrected?

And it would be great to post update messages in Download section with very breif description (also it will help to keep it on the top) - just to be aware about progress.
Just wanted to say that you guys are really awesome and when you get the project complete It will be a wonderous thing. I'm in the process of Writing 3 AAR starting in Eu2 and traveling through Vicky and finally HoI and what you guys are undertaking will be a great benifit to me. When the project is complete I will post Info on your project, a Jpg for your project if you have one( like selling advertising) and Links to where it can be downloaded.
Having said all that after you convert Eu2 to Vicky are you still planning on Developing a Vicky to HoI converter?
Thanks a TON,
GW

Thanks for the kind comments.
While I assume a Vic->HoI converter can be done, I myself don't have that game (HoI) and therefore someone else would have to do the programming. That said, if you manage to get a programmer and province ID converters there's no limit to what you can convert, although the usefulness of the results might be discussed in some cases.

Thnx for the compliments!
Who knows? Perhaps a programmer can be found... Maybe... But, for now there are still so many things to be done!!!
Talking about that Chaingun, I have just corrected the provinces.txt file with the additions of Siberia & the Philippines

During loading of my converted game in Victoria I got next messages: "Critical error! Orenburg (470) is already owned by Russia when Russia wants it. - Do you still want to continue?" and the same message for Busuluk (471) - Russia ownes and wants it. However if I ignore these messages the game is loaded ok. It doesn't depend on what country I choosed to play. Have you faced this problem before?
Yes, thanks for reporting the bugs, keep it coming. It's a case of province ids that are double assigned. It happens sometimes with all the provinces that need to be adressed. I have no doubt that kokomo will correct it.

I did have that error with the IDs I'd posted last Friday. So this is unusually weird what you tell me because I have tested the new IDs myself last night without a problem (so far we have ID'id 897 EU provinces). Please go to the Province Id thread, select all the data which appears on my post and copy on top of all the data on your provinces.txt file. I usually make corrections so I paste the whole data.
If you do not solve the problem then I'll send you my provinces.txt file.
kokomo - I use version from download section. Could you try to convert using it? Maybe it should be updated with your Provinces.txt? I hope it won't take too much time.
