Hello! I am trying to create a CK3 mod that adds a new religious family, religion, and faiths to the game, but I am encountering some strange issues. (I am using the Nearly Blank Map as a starting point.) I will explain everything I have done in exacting detail. (For context, I am trying to lay the groundwork for a CK3 version of After the End by creating the Americanist and Libertarian faiths.)
The first thing I did was create a new religious family called the Antiquarian family. I did this by copying the Abrahamic religion family file, renaming the file to "00_antiquarian", renaming the family inside the file to "rf_antiquarian", and changing the hostility doctrine from "abrahamic_hostility_doctrine" to "antiquarian_hostility_doctrine". I then added this "antiquarian_hostility_doctrine" to the 01_doctrines_religions file, underneath the vanilla hostility doctrines.
Next, I created my religion file by copying the 000_test_religion file and renaming it to 000_patriotic. I changed the first line to "patriotic religion = {", changed the second line to "family = rf_antiquarian", and changed the first doctrine to "doctrine = antiquarian_hostility_doctrine". I then added the religion's default doctrines and changed the god name localization keys. I also changed the holy order localization keys and changed the holy_order_maa line to read as "holy_order_maa = { minuteman }". Neither the keys nor the soldier type exist in the code as of right now.
I then began adding my faiths under a "faiths = {" block. I started with "americanist = {", defining its color as "color = hsv { 0.3 0.3 0.8 }" and its icon as "icon = americanist". This icon exists and is in the correct folder (gfx/interface/icons/religion). I also gave them a new special doctrine called "special_doctrine_freedom_of_speech" and a series of unique tenets. Both this new special doctrine and these new tenets exist, and are defined in the doctrines folder inside the "ate_doctrines_special" and "ate_tenets" files respectively. Next, I added "libertarian = {", defining its color as "color = hsv { 0.4 0.4 0.4 }" and its icon as "icon = libertarian". Again, this icon exists and is in the correct folder. I then added a few doctrines to Libertarian so it would have different mechanics from Americanist, and gave them a new localization block that changes most of their god names and their pantheon name. I then created a localization file and localized as many of these new things as I could. Then, I launched the game.
I noticed two things right away. First of all, the test ruler was now Americanist rather than test_faith, even though I had not touched any part of the history files during this entire process. Second, the faith's adjective was showing up as "americanist_adj" rather than Americanist, even though I had localized that string. (A screenshot of this is included below for reference.)
Most of the other Americanist localization seemed fine.
I have no idea why this is happening, and I cannot proceed any further with my mod until I can diagnose and fix this issue. I will post the full Patriotic religion file below so that you may examine it for yourself. (I suspect that the issue originates with this file specifically.) If you want a copy of the entire mod, please let me know and I will DM it to you.
EDIT: Issue resolved - the test character in the Nearly Blank Map has his faith set to "test_religion" in the character history files. It should be "test_faith".
