General Modding Questions

[unmerged(9143)]

1) If I put in a new country using the u00 tag (and I'm assuming by the way that is 'letter u-zero-zero' ) do I call their shield 'shield_u00' and their flags 'flag_u00'?

2) If I want to have a country appear in an event, do I *not* include a 'country.inc' file?

3) Are 'nationalprovinces' in the .inc file the ones that a country has a claim on, even if they are owned by someone else?

4) In game terms, what is the difference between 'ownedprovinces' and 'controlledprovinces'? Is this just a holdover from EU2?

I guess that's it for now. Maybe if people have general questions about modding, they could be put in this thread? Might make things a little easier to find?

Cheers,

1) Yes
2) That is correct. You must have en ebtry in revolt.txt for them though.
3) Yes.
4) ownedprovinces are those you own (doh! ), while controlledprovinces are those you control. If you are at war and capture a province it will become a controlled provinces, but the enemy will still own it (until you annex him )
