Hello everyone, my first mod I made, which contains only my first religion, is constantly crashing, the game is only half loaded and then crashed.

I followed the instructions from the wiki and I have no idea why this is happening. Anyone know how to fix this ?

 

[Silversweeeper]

From a fairly quick look at the code:

- While it doesn't break anything, "ai_peaceful = no" does nothing since it's the default.

- "graphical_culture =englishgfx indiangfx" is incorrect; I don't know if you even can have multiple ones for a religion, but if you can, you need to put them inside curly brackets ("{ <code> }", no quotation marks).

- You have a character_modifier for saranism_reformed inside your unit_modifier, which is incorrect. Close the first modifier before you start the second, and merge the character_modifiers into one.

- 100 concubines wouldn't break the game, but it'd most likely have side-effects (especially as far as performance goes) if lots of characters had it. Under the assumption that you most likely will play as the rel head, a custom government for the rel head that enables extra consorts for them would likely be better. Also, the base game caps the number of living non-secret bastard children for the same character to 9 (10 if the last birth resulted in twins), which can't be toggled in the defines, so if you want there to be additional children as well you'll have to add an event to cause additional pregnancies where relevant.

- Unsure if intended, and not the cause behind your issue: You block uncle-niece/aunt-nephew marriage with "psc_marriage = no", which might be unintentional seeing as you allow all other kinds of close family marriage.

- It doesn't break anything, but "pacifist = no" does nothing.

- Unsure if intentional, and not the cause behind your issue: You have "dislike_tribal_organization = yes" for the reformed religion, which is inconsistent with vanilla.

- Aside from the closing bracket issue, saranism has the same issues as saranism_reformed.

- The saranit_group doesn't have a closing bracket.

- d_saranism_reformed's allow_block is missing a closing bracket.

The Validator would most likely have caught the bugs above, and I'd suggest you get it since it's very valuable for finding typos, missing brackets, and other things that a human might not catch.

Additionally, if you haven't done so already, make sure there's a flag file for d_saranism_reformed; I don't remember if the lack of one would cause a crash, but it'd cause some other issues at the very least.

Also, your indents are all over the place, which makes it hard to read your code and makes it less clear where there are errors because it's less clear where code blocks that should be inside curly brackets end.

 

[Idhrendur]

Looks like you dropped a } from the end of the first file. But it's hard to tell, as your indentation is all over the place. I'd recommend using Notepad++ or some other advanced text editor to clean it all up and to double-check your curly braces.

I corrected all of the above and it works. Thanks a lot.
The absence of a flag for d_saranism_reformed does not ruin the game. The flag of the reformed religion is a generic flower.
