Is there a tutorial that explains CK2 Modding?

[RadioactiveHellion]

I'm trying to wrap my head around the event syntax by looking at existing files but while some of it is obvious (e.g. OR tags) other things are not. It seems that nobody else is having problems modding so I'm left wondering if there's a site which contains tutorials or a quick guide to explain it all. A quick look through the stickied threads didn't turn up any links that were marked as such. There are also some non-syntax related issues which are perplexing me.

For instance, I'm trying to create a new Casus Belli that in which both attacker and defender surrender faster. Tags which seem to effect this are:

	attacker_ai_victory_worth = {
		factor = -1 # always accept
	}
	
	attacker_ai_defeat_worth = {
		factor = 100
	}

	defender_ai_victory_worth = {
		factor = -1 # always accept
	}
	
	defender_ai_defeat_worth = {
		factor = 100
	}

And I'm left wondering what do I modify? A few existing CBs deviate from the above but I can't tell whether a higher factor means they want it more or less, and what that means in game terms. How does the -1 (always accept) play into the decision vs. a standard factor number? I'm going to begin a few tests but it'd be nice if this information was already available.

I've also no idea how to create an "on birth" pulse event for non-bastards.

If there's a single place where these questions may already be answered I'd appreciate if somebody could point me in the right direction. So far my Search attempts have turned up dead ends.

Would also like to see a wiki of some sorts or something... We need a compendium of modding knowledge... I also find myself getting stuck a lot!

I'm trying to wrap my head around events right now... It seems each event has multiple IDs and it's breaking my brain trying to figure out how it all ties together. If I wanted to implement say a blood feud event where one of my vassals was killed by another vassal how would I go about that? Do I have to write 50 different events?

Anyone kind enough to maybe write up a quick sample for me or something?

I would like it too. Could some of the more experimented modders tell us if there is something like that? At least some tutorial for some other game to get started at least.

Your not the only one having problems modding... have you seen the opinion_modifiers.txt? :unsure:

Lots of values I can tweak. Events I can edit. Whenever I try to add new stuff it however always ends in tears. Are there any modding guides on previous recent Pdox games out there? Both Sengoku and VII use the same engine.
