Hmm, maybe I should make a readme? OK, this assumes you are working with Windows XP. If not, I make no guarantees of its working. Anyway, download the executable. Unzip it to some easily accessible directory. Copy your CK savefile to that directory. Now go to Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt. Change to the directory you've installed it in. Type

Converter <MyCKSave.eug>

You should get a bunch of text output, and at the end it'll have made a file called "convertedMyCkSave.eug", which you should put in your EU2 savegame folder.

Now, this won't tell you much about the actual algorithm; that's what you need the source code for. The code in question is a little spread out; I don't know if you've done any programming, if not you may find it a touch tricky to follow. But anyway, the relevant methods are addCulture, beAbsorbed and getCulture in the class Country, to be found in converter.java.
 
Yeah, I have done all that before, but it comes up with an error similar to those posted. I'll try it again tomorrow and report if it does it again.

Oh, and yes, I do have Windows XP, thinking of reformatting with it actually to maybe solve my internet problems.
 
Could you maybe post the exact text, copy and paste, of the error on the converter thread? I like to debug these things. Also, could you tell me which MTT save you're using? Very helpful for debugging. Or if you're not using an MTT save, maybe you could post it somewhere?
 
I'll have to leave early today as there is a rockfestival in my city. Depending on how late it will become, I might be late or not be there tomorrowmorning.
 
Hi Naveed, we didn't see you there? Anyway, you didn't miss much, our savegame is now corrupted, so we are having to lose most of today's session.

RP, we will probably be going back to a save before my guy inherited Celle; can I ask that you not revoke your vassal's title, since you didn't do it in this history? We could be doing with a nice little war, I think. :)
 
Wait wiat... I thought we were playing at 2300 EST now?
 
What happened to Poland?!
 
Not very much, they seem to be getting the better of the rebels. But anyway our savegame corrupted, so most of today's session never happened.
 
What year will we be playing from? I suppose it's good that it's beating the rebels, really wish Naveed had been there though, AI may have racked up massive BB by annexing. Btw, KOM, change your location ;).
 
grrrrrr :(

Oil your chainmail and sharpen your axe KoM, we'll have our war.

Allthough I have watched enough science fiction shows to know that we might have been playing in an alternate reality yesterday. And things could be very different once we revisit that timeline.
 
Sterk, the latest save I can find that actually works is from 1324. "Beating" is perhaps a little optimistic - I think "Fighting to a stalemate that a human could take advantage of" is closer. According to the DOW dialog, you still have about 90k men in reserve. By the way, how did you come by claims to King of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden?

Time to get nervous KoM?
 
Eh, Poland I can handle, at least for the next ten years or so while he recovers. It's Burgundy that worries me.
 
Weekly Game Update


We played at Below Normal for most of the game with 6 players. We played from July 27 1322 to November 6 1324. Newest game MAP is up. I’ve purged and zipped the most recent game save which can be downloaded from here.

The players this session:
  • Traveler - King of Italy
  • Prime - King of Burgundy
  • Ear - King of Hungary
  • Lurken - King of Castille
  • KoM - King of Norway
  • cheech - King of France

We had 4 game stops. I’ll list the causes for each stop:
  • Lurken started with wrong country
  • I CTD, not sure why
  • I CTD, not sure why
  • We stopped to switch host but didn’t work stopped here

Had a lot of trouble with my PC this session. Prime hosted and did a good job. I have since trouble shot my computer, didn’t find anything out of the ordinary. I did test the MP connection and made a save which loaded successfully. Sorry about the misunderstanding Dom, our game times from this point forward will be the early Saturday time. I hope to see ya’ll next week. Oh and as a side note, I wont be drinking before the game anymore.

New Session Time
  • Saturday Morning (0600PST/0900EST/1400GMT/1500CET)

Open realms:
  • Kingdom of Jerusalem
  • Kingdom of Bohemia
  • Rus

Traveler

...
 
Well KOM I picked those up decades ago, maybe even a century or two. Probably about when I unified Rus and had all that prestige to waste. Although, I think the AI claimed one or two of those as well. I have no intentions to invade Norway and most certainly not to take a kingdom title. I do have some reasonable limits.
 
I will not attend this week session due to being whisked away to a big meeting in another part of Sweden with other students from my education or something.
