But what if somebodys has changed the sliders first time let's say in May 1936?

I am new to HOI but saw this in Emikens mod and changed for ease of use.
Are you saying that if you change the policy in may 1936 then you can't make another change untill may 37.
If thats the case then it's no use as is ....

or you have to make change on the 1st jan 36 and stick to changing on that date. still better than current situation.

Correct.

You can make new policy sliders changes after 360 days.

I still prefer to change policy on 1st and have reminder come up. I have missed changing so many times as I am new to HOI. Same problem with getting my spies up to 10, on top of getting to grips with the game itself..

thanks for this event it will be useful sometimes ı forget to change it

change the date in the event.

Maybe the better idea would be to make the first event to pop-up on the 1st January 1936, with a question do you wan't to be informed every year. If yes then the flag will be set and place the flag to the triggers of the next events.

The "official" reminder from the EmKeiEn is "constructed" as you described.
I do not know why our friend deleted most of "my" code

Thanks to Mikon Orod for code

Welcome, but I do not remember when you asked me to strip a part of the mod...
But... no problem, of course, I'm not the owner of any copyright

Hi mike. Because the text tooltip looked kinda strange, also, I always want to be reminded to change the policy sliders at beginning of year.

"Welcome, but I do not remember when you asked me to strip a part of the mod...

Not trying to step on your toes, but I really do think this is useful. The code as is (all taken from yours with deletions) suits me. As I stated to you before [emiken mod thread] I am learning the game and don't want to mod any 'game' features. I have finally ended up with a reminder.txt file so no edits of main files is needed.

Eh?
That's not a good reason at all, my friend.
The tooltip just says that the reminder various events will not fire, exactly what we want, if we press the related button.

To avoid all problems, you all, download the EmKeiEn at my sign and play it

I may be being a bit :wacko: here, but isn't the whole point of this 'mod' to remind the user hey 'it's time to change our policy' each and every year so the user does not 'forget' and by doing this at 1 jan.

So my question is why wouldn't i want the event to fire?
