I'm currently playing my first Core game, and I'm writing an AA R for it. What I would like to do is read the events that happen so I can work them into the game (I'm trying to write it like a history book). However, there are a lot of events whose scripts I can't find. For example, Japan withdraws all citizens from Tsing-Tao. The Panay Incident. Saltsjobadsavtalet. Etc. I can usually find them listed, but I can't find the script itself. There are the events in the event file, named core_Germany, for example. And there are the events in the folders named "modified" and "original". Is there any other place they can be found? These events have fired in the game, so they must be somewhere.

Can anybody help?
 
Try using "Find" to search for files containing the event text. If the text is found in text.csv then it's probably an original Paradox event in db\events. I think the CORE events all have their names & descriptions in the event scripts themselves.

EDIT: For example, doing that I found the phrase "Panay Incident" in:
D:\GAMES\HoI 1.04 CORE 0.21\mod-CORE\scenarios\CORE_campaign\events\core_Japan.txt
and
D:\GAMES\HoI 1.04 CORE 0.21\mod-CORE\scenarios\CORE_campaign\events\nomonhan.txt
(The event is in the second file.)

BTW, great AAR.
And I was thinking that I would be the first to write CORE 0.2 AAR... But fortunatelly you use Germans. My Soviet AAR is still in early development phase... :D

One question - are you going to reload extremely ahistorical results of events? Unfortunately, thanks to huge list of events in current release of CORE game is prone to make ahistorical choices way to common.... :(

Hey Jay - You can find all the events (both Paradox and CORE) in the ..\Hearts of Iron\mod-CORE\scenarios\CORE_campaign\events\

The majority of the events are in that exact directory, but some (original Paradox with or w/o modification) may be in one of the two subdirectories. Generally the new CORE events are in the core_COUNTRY.txt files but in some cases (long event chains across multiple countries) they are in other files:

altmark.txt - Scandinavian events (NOR, SWE, DEN, ENG, USA)
antarctic.txt - German events relating to Antarctic
anticom.txt - Anti-Comintern Pact events and Dutch East Indies (JAP, GER, ITA)
bolted.txt - Events inherited from Bolt's work
comchi.txt - Communist China events
dnieper.txt - USSR events for Dnieper Dam
french_forts.txt - Benelux events
mpb.txt - Sino-Japanese War (CHI, USA, JAP)
natchi.txt - Sino-Japanese War (CHI, GER, JAP)
nomonhan.txt - Khalkin Ghol, Kiri Project, Panay, Nanjing, AI events (JAP, SOV, USA, MON, MAN, CHI, CHC)
tuva.txt - Annexation of Tannu Tuva (SOV, TUV)
