Short Story:I want to rectify the bug that caused one of my Duchys to go indipendant w/o declaring war. Using 1.03b, wondering what programs I might need and what to add/delete in the save file(and how to).



Long Story:Its a well know bug that sometimes when giving out titles they will turn indipendant w/o declaring war. Well this happened to me in my Ferarra game which turned into the Kingdom of North Africa. After continued cruesading again the al-Murihads(sp?) I created the duchy of Fes so I could give some land away and keep my effcientcy % up, I also gave the new duke(my brother) two more provices.

When I wasnt paying attention during my war they turned indipendant with that ugly light green Ottoman Empire color right in the middle of my North African Kingdom of pure white. In that sense alone its rather annoying to me, not to mention the fact that Ive lost what little controll of my vassel as the game allows compleatly, oh and the prestige of one more duke under me.

Its been several years now, well a couple of decades I think. Ive continued crusading, finnishing the conquest of N.W. Africa, creating the duchy of Tangeris and expanding into Iberia(I controll all of what would make up Granada in EU2). And a very profitable war with far off Emirate of Lut, which netted 1 NA provice and some 11,000 gold. Intermitent in these conquests I have been trying to vasselize my brother, along the way he departed the mortal plane and his son, my nephew, acended to the Duchy of Fes. Attempts with my beloved nephew have failed compleatly.

It has come to this, this situation as rubbed me the wrong way for to long. Yes a few hours is way to long. So I humbly ask for advice on how to rectify the situation thru means I have never employed, editing the save game file of my game. What sort of programs do I need to succefuly pull this off w/o corrupting my game? Where do I look? What do I change? Thank you in advance.
 
1) Make a backup.

2) With the aid of the handy Tag-list, find the correct tag for the lost duchy and your kingdom.

3) Go into the save file, search for entries of the duchy Tag in question.

4) When you find the instance of the duchy Tag followed soon by "Liege = ------", you are on correct spot.

5) Change that "--------" to your kingdom tag.

If this doesn't do it, please come to ask again.
 
What is best to open the save game with?
 
Unless you have a decent 3rd party text editor like 'Scite', windows notepad and wordpad are fine - given the size of the CK saves I'd use wordpad as it seems to have better large-file-size handling than notepad.
 
Notepad!!! It's THE best*. ;)





* Unless you count any other program out there.
 
Well it seems it a bit to big for Notepad and my Wordpad isnt lauching(I dont know why) where might I find Scite or ultraedit?


Edit:Nuts, when I tired to open it with notepad I didnt notice that little box was check that says "Use this program when opening this kind of File."

Doesnt seem to effect the gameplay(that I have seen). Will this do anything(besides annoying the hell outa me?)?

My god......... I got a wordpad program, of sorts, Cwordpad. The file is huge, took forever to load, forever for the text to write, forever to find the correct spot, only to learn that it doesnt recognize when I push freakin enter. Gah..... :mad:
 
Yea I dont know what happened to my wordpad, and Ive searched and searched I cant find anywhere to dl it.
 
Well I found a decent one, working on the file right now. Hope it works. Thanks for the help everyone.
