Some Questions

[chefkoch]

Okay thanks, now i got it. This explains also why countries i gave orange color in WATKABOI are grey. I was always confused about that...

Some colors are used for various display: religions, countries and terrains.

I tried a bit but i found no solution for the pagans. They always have the color of unsettled terrain.

Another question:

saved = yes 
optionmode = 0 
set_difficulty = 2
set_ai_aggresive = 2 
set_gamespeed = 2 
set_fow = 0
set_conq_capital = 1 
set_missions = 0 
set_basevp = 1

These are options that might be included in the header of the scenario to change certain fields like difficulty, fog of war, game speed, etc (basically making them default when you load up the save/scenario). But i couldnt find the autosave feature. Is there an option to enable autosave at every year? If so whats the name?

Isn't it an option in the cfg file (i.e. optionfile entry)?

 

[BurningEGO]

    optionfile = "scenarios\save games\test.eug.cfg"

Yes i got it now, but still dont understand. If i go open the test.eug.cfg file with notepad i get very strange characters. I supose that means it is impossible to make yearly autosave a default thing for a scenario?

 

[unmerged(40707)]

I never tried... but remember cfg file represents full EU2 personal settings (same "binary" content as in config.eu).

How can i create an own bg_fronted.bmp file? I could copy the original fields from the original files but i want it to look like that:



How have you guys this done?

Just replace the old one with the one you want. To create one, use GIMP or Photoshop, or similar.

It's located in GFX\Interface\Frontend.

That's my question. What have i to do to create that effect of the 4 see-through fields on the background pic?

That's my question. What have i to do to create that effect of the 4 see-through fields on the background pic?

Are you using GIMP or Photoshop? Or something else?

 

[chefkoch]

Nope, MS Paint.
I have Photoshop 4.0 but can't handle it right. That's why i need a guidance.

 

[unmerged(40707)]

Use of templates should be the easiest way. But MS Paint will not be the way to use them.

I personally don't like the corners of the frames and avoided using them for AGCEEP.

 

[chefkoch]

Thank you, that templates were actually not helpful but they brought me an idea how to do it.

Another question: can monarchs and leaders be slept and awaken more then once?

 

[unmerged(40707)]

No

What are the limitations of colonynames.csv? I've made some changes to it and the file won't work anymore. I was adding some Portuguese and French names with all these "strange" characters and it seems that some are accepted and others not. But there were such letters before when it all worked. Are there any rules?

 

[unmerged(40707)]

Only limitation Third Angel found is 31 characters for names. Other limitation is ANSI character table (I use Notepad++ for this).

Make sure you didn't forget any semi-colon or use bad separator somewhere.
