This is still the case, I have used it in this version, if its not showing up then something is very wrong.

For characters, there are 53 vanilla history entries with 'capital = <county title>', and 9 with 'capital = <kingdom title>'.
Is there a collection of all the event pictures? Currently, they're spread around in the zip files of the DLCs and it's hard to find appropriate pictures for custom events.
Ah, fair enough
I could probably throw one together, but it'd take a while :/
I'm trying to create a mod with several ancient immortal characters in it. The problem I'm having is they all appear old, when they all attained immortality in their 20s. I've tried setting the date they gained their immortal trait as being when they were in their 20s, but that doesn't seem to have worked. How can I make 500 year immortals use 20 year old portraits?
Well people who do massive undertakings on the wiki sometimes end up getting rewards from paradox.Ah, fair enough
Immortal_age only works in create_character, not in character history, sadly.
I had to have an event fire at game start to create the characters, though that won't work if they are intended to be playable.

Oh, I am much too lazy for that
But what I might be able to offer is this : https://www.dropbox.com/s/4htuuyj3w4c899a/Event Pictures.mht?dl=0
Assuming it's working, it should be a very basic webpage archive listing every .dds file name, and the accompanying picture; nothing fancy. Could someone confirm it is working (never tried this sort of Archive before)? (I suppose the code could probably be converted to work with the Wiki, actually, but I don't know about uploading the pictures :S )
Edit :
Is there a way to condition for below a certain title?
Like, "Only fire if one of the character's provinces is part of k_some_kingdom" (regardless of which Duchy it is in)? Sort of like a title-focused version of the 'region =' condition?

A "blank event" showing up is usually not an actual event.
If it has no clickable options and is just blank, that is a weird effect of something else not working. I don't know why it fires as a "blank event"-thingy, but I know from experience that when something like this happens, you have a serious syntax error somewhere in your file(s).
For example, iirc at some point I had a regular (hidden) event that was to fire some maintenance checks, and adjust flags. However, I included a scripted_effect in that event that was fired in the wrong scope (character instead of province I think), and that effect-fired-in-wrong-scope caused a "blank event" to show up for me as the player. Naturally, I took a long time figuring out what the cause was, but anyway it is important to note that this "blank event"-thingy was not the actual event, which was hidden, but rather the visual expression of the bugged scripted_effect.
Again, why this is the case, I have no idea. But don't waste your time searching for a "blank" event, and instead run your code through the validator again, or check your scopes, effects etc in existing events manually.
Dang. Only one of them is meant to be playable, the others are his unlanded family, so I guess one old dude in the immortal family is fine. Maybe he was a bit late to the party.
Not tried it with Immortality, but when I was working with some 'special races' characters, what I did was :
1) Create a fake-character who would appear as the Character to play as, including a Character_Flag identifying them
2) On game start, fire an event which scopes to the fake-character, and creates a new character
3) Place the new character in the same dynasty as the fake (unless my game is glitching, it seems this has to be done after the create_character command)
4) Make the newly created character inherit from the fake-character, then kill the fake character
5) You should now be playing as your descendant, and after a day or so you can drop them into the 'real' Dynasty.
Since it happens on game start, it seems to skip the death screen (unless that's a function of the inherit command itself?)
I highly recommend the validator for things like this. Game breaking syntax errors will show up right away. (It's not updated for the latest patch yet, but for the type of errors you're looking for, that won't matter)
I think the Validator hasn't been updated to the latest version yet - Jamie550 said it may be a couple weeks since she wasn't aware 2.8 came out (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...th-minimal-pain.597480/page-134#post-23607106)
In my experience, blank events are usually caused by brace mismatching. Try having your text editor count number of { and } and make sure they match (though that may be wrong if some are in comments)

If a character is my religious head, as listed with charinfo, and a targeted decision is listed on them with the filter set to all, why would it not show with the filter set to rel_head?
Also, is there any equivalent to testevent for targeted decisions?

Events and decisions
I know you can create "character flag"s but that is tedious. Is there another way to do this in order for the decision and events to only fire once?
Something along the lines of "Fire only once = yes" is basicly what I'm looking for. But I couldn't find any of those in the files, so I don't know if it actually works. Any one knows?

I don't think Clausewitz Engine ever has that, unlike Europa Engine. The standard procedure is to use a global flag.
