New Kingdom tags not working in-game?

[unmerged(140374)]

Hi, my very first post, but long time lurker.

So I'm playing CKV and messing around with adding in new re-creatable kingdoms. I've been working on breaking up the Byzantine Empire (chopping it up into Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Nicaea, Karamon, Trebizond and Lycian League . . . yes I know it's ahistorical).

Anyway, I've been using some unused tags (U001, U002, etc).

The problem I'm facing is that in-game, with the mouse icon over the province, the "country" part shows up as blank (ie, it will say "Duchy x, " instead of "Duchy X, Country Y").

I keep re-checking everything. I changed the U00X tag to the right name (in the case right now, "Nicaea"). I added in country colors in the countries file (basically just copy-pasted the country colors from the province of Nicaea and changed the tag to U007). I've added in an appropriate CoA, too.

Am I missing anything else? Will the game get upset that I've copy-pasted information for country colors from a county to a kingdom level tag? That shouldn't matter, right?

I'm pretty sure there aren't any extra spaces anywhere in the provinces file . . . I don't know what the problem might be! I had no trouble adding in other countries using unused tags (Spanish Galicia, Sicily, Andalucia, Hellas, Macedonia . . . ) but suddenly it just doesn't work.

Is there any other reason this might be happening?

Oh, and in case it matters, I'm using a mac.

Sounds like you did everything right... and the game doesn't care about what colours you use as long as these are valid.

Make sure you're using the right number of semicolons in all files (missing out on one may break that line and any following), that your CoA is a proper bitmap (not a JPEG or similar), and of course that you're using the proper fields in Province.csv (the kingdom field where vanilla has BYZA).

If you've gone over all this and still can't find your error, I suggest you upload your modified files somewhere so we can take a look.

After a bunch of frustration (checking everything line by line . . . argh!) I finally just tried a new tag (U011 instead of U007). The result? Everything works now.

Argh!

Is there any reason one tag would work when another wouldn't? Are kingdom tags referenced anywhere else that might co-opt them and have them show up blank within the game? Or are some tags just wonky?

Either way, I have my Nicaea and Trebizond now, so it's well enough in the end I suppose.

Maybe some of them are bugged. I remember I had the same problem once (don't remember with which tags) but replacing it with another one solved the problem.
