Rise of the North is the newest version of the Scandianavia Mod, but is such a departure from the old Scandinavia mod that it deserves its own thread. This is version .1a, which is the first working version of Rise of the North. Rise of the North currently contains one event chain that allows a human Sweden to form Scandinavia (although as yet there is no tag change - cores are added, however). Later versions will contain chains for Denmark, Norway, and Scandinavia after unification.

It should be compatible with any version of Hearts of Iron 2.

Install instructions: replace sweden.txt in the events folder with this file. Go to (your game directory)/config, and open one of the .csv files there. Add these three lines into the files:

Code:
EVT_999990_DESC;With the end of the Summer Government on September 28, 1936, the leftist government of Per Albin Hansson returned to power in Sweden.  Although many considered this to be a good thing, Martin Ekström, leader of the Swedish Fascist Party, disagreed.  Declaring that he would not allow socialists to regain control of the country, Ekström declared that he would bring down the new government.  As the Swedish Fascist Party enjoyed little popular support at the time, the Hansson administration paid little attention to the threat.;;;;;;;;;;X
EVT_999993_DESC;By June 12, 1937, Martin Ekström and the Swedish Fascist Party had gained a significant following among the Swedish population.  On that day, a member of Martin Ekström's inner circle demanded to see the Prime Minister.  He explained that he had had a falling out with Ekström, and had come with information vital to the security of Sweden.  Later that day, he told parliment of a plot by the Swedish Fascist Party for a coup d'etat, using the significant support that Ekström had within the military.  Unfortunately, the turncoat could not provide a date for the planned coup, or any other information about it.  This presented the Hasson administration with a difficult choice: if the traitor was telling the truth, then the best course of action would be to exile Ekström, but that risked aleinating a large portion of the population and possibly even increasing Ekström's influence, whcih meant that the traitor could just be a clever ploy to further decrease the popular support of the Hasson administration, and that the best course of action would be to do nothing.;;;;;;;;;;X
EVT_999994_DESC;Following the Hasson administration's failure to do anything following the exposure of the coup plot, a coup was launched on June 20, 1937.  Overwhelming support for the coup by the military made it easy to overthrow parliment, although some anti-fascist units continued fighting in the streets of Stockholm for several days.  For reasons unknown to anyone except himself, King Gustav V supported the coup.  It is speculated that he supported the coups to save the lives of certain members of the royal family, but no one will ever know for sure.  The coup resulted in Martin Ekström being declared Prime Minister for life, and all of the seats of parliment being ceded to the Swedish Fascist Party, giving Ekström near dictatorial authority. However, several prominent members of the Hasson administration, including Hasson himself, escaped.;;;;;;;;;;X

I'm not going to upload a config file of my own because I don't have a clean copy of Armageddon or Doomsday to pull the file from.

arma or doomsday?

and upload something that works instead!!

It doesn't work! Crud... this is bad. If that's true then I uploaded an old version (ie. I forgot to save when I made the final changes). I'll have a working version up in no more than 20 min.

Should work for any version of HoI2, though, assuming it works at all.

Yes thank you :)
 
Hmm... that is puzzling. There is a duplicate event id, which was easy enough to fix, but an other error has me stumped. There is nothing wrong with the deathdates in any of the events!

And yet, I could have sworn I had this working just yesterday...

I have to do something now, but I will continue searching for the error later.

Edit: can someone change the id of event 3304 to 3309 and tell me what error they get then? Mine's not helping at all.
 
Here is a picture of the strange error I'm getting. Does it mean anything to anyone?

there has got to be a missing bracket } or quote " somewhere - it looks like the deathdate is bleeding into the description or something

thats my best guess - check every bracket and quote....... it sucks but I have had to do it before


edit - I tried to download it again and succeed this time - you have events that have a birthdate and offset - those have to have a deathdate

some of your descriptions are really really long - there is a max length and maybe you are going over - shorten the ones that go over 1 line especially
that is about all I have - good luck!

Ok, I've got it working now. Thanks for your advice, Thegreatplant. it turned out to be going over the max length for a description, which explains why I had it working before - the last time I tested it was before I had such long descriptions. Anyway, I'm uploading the working version now, installation will be a bit more complicated.
 
Working version uploaded. Enjoy!

The next version will include an event chain for Denmark, and the version after that will have one for Norway. After that, more depth will be added both to the existing event chains, and new ones will be added.
 
Will you be adding this to the daim/smep/ccip combo mod? Any chance of getting that updated for 1.3 beta? How about you and nomonhan getting together and adding the coldwar extension to all of it? That would be epic!
 
Btw where should i add the three lines

Any file in (game directory)/config should do. It doesn't matter, as long as it is one of those csv files.

Overwriting files is fine.

As for adding this into combo mods... that's rather more difficult. To do that, I'd require a clean install of Armageddon, which I could then patch to 1.3, but my anthology cd is acting weird (I don't see any scratches on it though), and giving me errors 97% of the way through installing Armageddon, and won't even start installs of anything else.
 
Right now, unplayable. since the dissent events have an offset of 1 (check every day) and 10% chance of happening you get it every 5 days or so, 5-15% dissent every week shoots you up to 100% in a few weeks.

What gives?
