Can anyone help me with changes needed for 00.bookmarks.txt and localisation files? Latest patch means this MOD won't show up on bookmark due to changes.
You need to pick one of your bookmarks and add "custom_start = yes" to it. This will be the default bookmark when clicking Custom Game. Most likely since your mod is not a total overhaul, you'll want to put it in the Stamford bridge bookmark (Fate of England)

Next, instead of "character = ##", you need "selectable_character" blocks. You can add a lot of stuff like their age and DNA, which are ONLY for display purposes, and only the first six of these will be shown (all of this is on the Era Select screen). All selectable_character blocks after the first six are simply added to the characters on your bookmark, but won't show up on the era select screen. You can also just leave them like this:

Code:
    selectable_character = { id = 36 }

Which is essentially identical to how it used to work.

Finally, each of the era bookmarks for the pick era screen needs an "era = yes" line.

This is how it is right now.

bm_IRANIAN_INTERMEZZO ={
name = "bm_iranian_intermezzo"
desc = "BM_935_DESC"
date = 935.1.1

selectable_character = {
id = 144001
}

selectable_character = {
id = 33350
}

selectable_character = {
id = 3200
}

selectable_character = {
id = 14403101
}

selectable_character = {
id = 180761002
}

selectable_character = {
id = 16000012
}
}

Localisation file looks like this

bm_iranian_intermezzo;Iranian Intermezzo;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
BM_935;Iranian Intermezzo;;;;;;;;;;;;;x
BM_935_DESC;After centuries of rule, the Caliphate is losing its hold on Persia and the Levant. Various Persian rulers compete with each other, each more eager than the last to crown himself the Shah of Persia. Meanwhile, the Abbasid decline provides an opportunity for Byzantine empire to reclaim lands lost to the Muslims.n In Europe, Henry the Fowler will soon leave his throne to the future emperor Otto the Great, Norway is ruled by a Christian king, and Abd-ar-Rahman III guides Cordoba through its golden age as a self-declared Caliph and Commander of the Faithful.;;;;;;;;;;;;;x

And it does not work.

So if you can tell me what is wrong, please let me know.

Ok, I have gotten it to work now but few minor issues appear probably due to latest patch as they did not appear before. Flags look weird and satrapy of Fars is held by 0 year old kid (who in history files is born in 1290) and no matter what I do, he stays there instead of founder of Buyid dynasty.

Check if his entry is properly closed by brackets. Also, double check that the ID in the title history is right or that they don't have the same character ID, if so change it and all other references to it. I'd recommend you to only have character files with mod characters, and with diferent names than the vanilla files (eg: 955_persian.txt or II_persian.txt or even just iranian.txt)
 
Version 2.0 has now been uploaded to front page.

I tweaked Buyids a bit for this among other things. There are likely some flag bugs left and if you noticed anything strange in map, let me know.

As for education, I ran game for 15 years and at least some Conclave traits popped up and whatnot but I cannot say if education now works as intended. Those with more free time on their hands could check it out.

Mod looks good so far for version 2.0. Strange thing though, France is called "Aquitaine" for 1066 onwards with all the other start dates. 935 and before and it's called "France" or "West Francia". Any idea why? I am presuming it's something to do with title/character layout.

EDIT - Found the issue to this. The issue is that King Raoul of France has an extra bracket at the bottom of his entry in k_france.txt.

To fix this, obviously, just delete one of the brackets and save as normal. :)

Also, why are there two files in the bookmarks folder? Only one will suffice, I think.

Love the mod! I remember seeing it a while back and decided to take a play through today. I love how segmented the world is, but how there is still the recognizable kingdoms. I have a few reports: 1) the Count of Lausitz has "nogovernment" and is a tribute to Heinrich. 2) Hungary seems to convert quickly to Catholic (although not sure if this is intended or even something hardcoded). 3) No kingdom of Nekor? That realm was decently powerful and probably deserves to be a duke.

But these are just my thoughts. Thanks for your hard work making this mod! And I might add in some more suggestions after playing more.
 
Thanks for comments. Keep them coming and I update mod with corrections and tweaks (like looking how to implement Nekor) over the weekend.

On my end I noticed d_mesopotamia vanished and is no longer tributary of Byzzies.

Obviously Conclave patch did something to muck things up.

As for bookmarks.txt, I just made a back-up copy of original file but forgot to remove it.
