For a while I have been trying to create a custom nation for an AAR or something. I came close with turning Croatia into Slavia in Kaiserreich. For a week or two I have been working on a new nation called the "Yugoslav Union."

The preferred mod for it is Kaiserreich. If I have them go to war with Serbia and annex them, followed by Bulgaria, that would mess with the Belgrade Pact events. Now perhaps I'll make the nation for C.O.R.E or vanilla.

I intend the country to start out with the provinces of Ljubljana (temporary capital), Stip, Novi Sad, Zenica, Nov Pazar, Varna, and Dubrovnik. The country goes to war with both Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. It should be very brutal and quite a stalemate.

The reason why I am posting this is because I stink at doing this. I made a minister file, a leader file, and a tech team file, as well as a flag, shield, and counter.

Shield:
Shield_PYU.bmp

Flag:
Flag_PYU.bmp

Counter:
counter_PYU.bmp


Ruling Cabinet:

Brikarjik.bmp

Head of State: Vladimir Brikarjik - Popular Figurehead, Market Liberal
Vladimir Brikarjik was a minor government official in the Yugoslavian government. After Adolf Hitler took control of Germany in 1933, Brikarjik called for a stronger army, and unity amongst the "Slavic Nations," but was largely unheard. In 1936 he made a radio message that reached the citizens of Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. In it, he made many negative comments about Nazi Germany, and the "divided governments" of the Slavic people. Fearing an international issue, police in Ljubljana attempted to arrest him. Fighting broke out between police and the people who lived in the town he lived in. The Balkan Civil War had begun...

Well, I'll post up the rest some other time, but it has Josif Broz Tito as well as some fictional people...including, oddly, Borat as a replacement minister. :confused:

I'd like to have a tree of custom event tree, here are some of my ideas:

Country: Yugoslav Union
Name: Belgrade has fallen!
Description: The Yugoslavian capital of Belgrade has fallen to our forces. For the sake of normalcy, shall we move the capital to Belgrade?
Option 1: Yes (makes Belgrade the capital)
Option 2: No (keeps Ljubljana as the capital)

Country: Romania
Name: Balkan Civil War - Intervention
Description: With the civil war in the Balkans, it might be a good idea to support one or more of the parties involved, shall we support the Yugoslav Union?
Option 1: Recognize the Yugoslav Union and provide supplies (highest chance of being picked by the AI)
Option 2: They pose a threat to our nation, support Yugoslavia and Bulgaria!
Option 3: Stay uninvolved

Anyways - basically I need most of the help with the .eug, .inc files, and the events. I'll try downloading CORE and trying to get the nation atleast playable. Also I just generally would like some ideas how to expand the event trees and whatnot.
 
A backstory involving Yugoslav Unionists in both countries would be nice. That would explain how the Bulgarian branch got Varna to revolt. Also Macedonia would be a hotbed for this kind of activity. It should be SD at first, with the option of going SL, SD, or LWR after elections.

I can help you with modding, not right now, but this weekend.
 
Thanks. Yeah I like the Social Democrat thing with the option of going either LWR or towards democracy. Can it be LWR with democracy? I'm glad you think my idea is good, usually my ideas are crappy. Is social democrat like Socialism?

I'll try getting the nation to work in C.O.R.E some time today.

Well, Social Democracy = constructing reasonable social equality, slowly, via democratic process. LWR is a bit more radical, so hurrying up the process a little is the norm (it's something like the Union of Britain in Kaiserreich, so it has internal democracy within the central comitee/congress/whatever - *insert election events here* - but in game it behaves authoritarian). Social Liberalism is like SD, but less centralized and advocates less interventionism in the market.

Tip: get a better HoS pic, google some generic South Slavic face.

Well...the thing is the HoS is based on me. My last name is Brikiin, I'm Slavic in ancestry I believe, and Brikarjik sounds Slavic, dosn't it? The picture is basically what I look like in my dreams, a picture of me is somewhere in the custom minister pics.

Thanks for the info. The thing is though that I designed the minister file for democratic government - there's only one Communist cabinet scattered in there. I'll go ahead and change a few to LWR or LE.

What would the sliders be for Social Democrat? I somewhat copied the slider things from the US file.
 
OK, update. I got the nation ingame finally, but when I load I get this error:

An id conflict. Check your inc files for ID number 4 and change. It could also be an event you have created with the ID number 4. Either way, change it to a unique id number.

I think I know why, I copied the .inc file from the one for Yugoslavia, so I need to change the ID or type or whatever most likely.

I'll try at making some events, also. Does anybody have a full table of the different commands in events, like say, annexing a nation by event? I'll try at it but generally if anybody can help that'd be nice.

event commands.txt in the events folder contains all triggers and commands.
 
I got rid of that problem with the error message, but now when I try to load the scenario, it stops loading about 1/4 through it, and when I do CTRL+ALT+DEL it says that the program is not responding.
 
Can you pm me the files, and see if I can debug them?

You are missing a closing bracket in your inc file. Check that all brackets have matching pairs. The most common mistake is failing to put a closing bracket right at the end of the file.

Crush3r I PMed you the files. I found out the problem I was having before with the error in db thing, apparently you can't add an extra line to the world_names.csv or whichever one it is, you have to use the U00 etc.

That means I can put it in Kaiserreich, that was the whole problem! lol.
