Hi,

I'm trying to convert my Imperator file to Crusader Kings 3. The conversion seems to work, but when I attempt to actually chose a country/character to play, the game goes to the loading screen for the character selection but never finished initializing. I edited the files of Imperator so that I could have a custom character, so that might be why it isn't letting me actually play. Please let me know if you're able to identify the problem--I thought changing the starting date of CK3 from 743 to 867 would fix the problem, but it doesn't seem to have done so.
Will investigate.

Try converting with new release 3.0.4, I was able to select a character.

I'm trying to convert an Imperator: Rome save into ck3 but when I try to pick a character in ck3 it doesn't ever load and the error log has that the characters would be younger than zero which shouldn't be the case because I'm converting in around 400 a.d.

Just want to preface this with he fact that the Converter is amazing! However I've come to notice a few nitpicky annoyances with the converter that I was wondering about. First is that while Empire conversion is amazing, it has a few issues. First Arabia is usually present and the ERE exists and is named as such despite the fact that area was divded between Persia, Thrace, and Rome, with Thrace having the biggest chunk. I sorta felt that renaming it to whichever tag held the most of the land made more sense.

Another common complaint I see with the converter is that on the de jure kingdoms map:

I fast forwarded through the game a bit here to demonstrate a few points - after Rome collapses, all it's now indepedent parts are all the same color, incredibly easy to confuse and it's even worse at the Magadhan Empire where every kingdom is the same color as the empire was.

I had to check de jure kingdoms just to see if that was their default color only to find:

That it does seem to be the case that the de jure remnants of large empires are all the same or almost the same color. But the bigger issue is the fact that converted nations below Empire tier (500 provinces) get converted to kingdoms even when it doesn't make sense. Icenia controlled all of Brittania but wasn't large enough to be an Empire, so now all of Brittania is a single kingdom. Similiarly Egypt is now unreasonably big.

Otherwise everything else seems to have worked fine (in case you're wondering why my game looks different, I was testing out how the save worked with The Fallen Eagle mod for a mega campaign. The issues in everything are the same in vanilla where I first checked them, but since I loaded it up with TFE I was a bit too lazy to go back and change the mod) so I'm not reporting a bug or issue or anything just a few pet peeves.

On a Side Note related to TFE, in order to get a few things to work I've been messing around Configurables which has given me a new respect for the work ya'll do for this thing to not just make the converter but make it customizable so I'd like to end with another round of thanks for making such an amazing converter!

By the way, is it normal to have a 30 minute load time after clicking "New Game"?

No, that's almost certainly an error. We'll need log.txt from the converter, your Imperator save, and any Imperator mods you used,

The game loads fine for me, it's probably broken for you because of the mods you're using. Search for "error" in the error.log you posted.

What? I vividly remember ck3 empires in 1.4...

Vanilla de jure empire setup is overwritten by the converter.
I actually have had this issue since I started using this converter. However, it only takes 1-2 minutes to load if I play with vanilla or some other mod like the Asia Expansion mod.
If you want us to take a look, please upload what @Idhrendur requested.

Upload save please, this shouldn't happen. What CK3 mods did you use?

I agree, colors will be made unique at some point.
But the bigger issue is the fact that converted nations below Empire tier (500 provinces) get converted to kingdoms even when it doesn't make sense. Icenia controlled all of Brittania but wasn't large enough to be an Empire, so now all of Brittania is a single kingdom.
Yes, but what's the problem. It's bigger than most kingdoms, but not unreasonably big. With dynamic de jure, part of the kingdom may drift away at some point in the game.
Similiarly Egypt is now unreasonably big.
Unreasonably big blob of sand. Half of that colored area is a wasteland.

There will probably be TFE compatibility at some point.

Thanks for the kind words, they help us stay motivated.

That's still a really old version (thanks for reminding us about the wiki). There's a download link for the latest version on the first post of this thread.

that seems to be the one i was talking about, why can i not make it that the age of characters is based on the age and not year, because now i have to choose between 800 year old rulers or baby rulers + 0 dev worldwide? is there any working version that still has the ability to change the age?
 
I recently installed the Imperator: Rome to CK3 converter but every time I proceed to fill in the details of the files in "ConverterFrontend.exe", I am told that the Imperator: Rome game is not present in its file even though I can clearly see it is in my File Explorer.

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance.

The path should point to the folder where I:R is installed. The converter didn't find the game executable inside one of the folder's subfolders, so the path you entered is most likely wrong.

I did place it where Imperator: Rome is installed. Multiple times, actually. I see Imperator.exe and proceed to make a new file and place only the .exe file in there, Yet I still get the exact same message. Is there a way I can send you my files then download it from what you send me?

Make a new file and only put the exe in there? None of that sounds right. What exactly are you doing?

In any case, please send a screenshot of the directory where you have Imperator installed.

Is there any recent version of the converter where you can change whether age is based on birthdate or age value anymore? Changing start dates seems to mess with the developments of provinces, making anything before 876 impossible to play due to 0 dev worldwide.
