Problems with Default Event files.....

[Shadowstrike]

After unsuccessfully trying to invade England to force them to cede the last two French provinces they owned, I thought that maybe browsing the event files would be less infuriating.....

While doing so, I came across a few problems in the event files, probably accidental omissions..... For example, Denmark's event file is labeled "Ottoman" on the top (probably forgotten by accident while creating the event files).... Then, I saw this event:

#The Closure of China# #1557#
event = {

id = 3704
random = no
country = CHI
name = "EVENTNAME3704"
desc = "EVENTHIST3704"
style = 2

action_a ={ #Close for the Outside World#
name = "ACTIONNAME3704A"
command = { }
command = { }
command = { }
}

action_b ={ #Hold a small breathing hole open#
name = "ACTIONNAME3704B"
command = { }
command = { }
command = { }
}

action_c ={ #Keep it open for all#
name = "ACTIONNAME3704C"
command = { }
command = { }
command = { }
}

While I doubt that any of these errors will be anything more then a case of minor frustration, maybe we as a community could help fix them. It would save Paradox some work, and teach us about the inner workings of the event files in the meantime.

Was that in the danish file?

I know many files are titled "Ottoman" - I guess Greven and/or Doomdark had some busy days here...

It was probably forgotten there... the curious thing is that the options have no effect at all.

No wonder the event have no effect - it doesn't have any commands

That's what I meant, Havard. I said it has no effect because it has no commands.

Keep in mind I couldn't have tested it, I don't have the game!

No, the Danish one was a seperate example. This was in the Chinese event file (which could use some filling)
