Hello, I need some help.

I've finished some events for my AAR, but, I'm having a new struggle.
Could someone explain to me how to "string" the description of an event?

By now I've done this in NWO2...
DB / Events / NWO / Nationalist Korea, in this file I wrote the event and it has as description something like:
desc = "EVT_9550043_DESC"

While the mods.csv file at config folder has the correct description, but, I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
In game the description is lost and only says "EVT_9550043_DESC"

Thanks!

If there any problems with mods.txt, try event_text.txt
Just like mods.txt, this file in config folder

Also tried it there, but it fails as well. :(

EVT_9550043_NAME;ROK Navy - First Fleet Ready;;;X

Most of these ships have been bought from the United States, nonetheless, we expect to build our own ships in the future. Strengthening the navy is something important if we wish to preserve Korea's security, by now the ROK Navy is small but with development and patience it will become one of the fiercest navies in Asia.;;;X

The name's string works properly, but the one for the description ends up missing.
What am I doing wrong? :/

EDIT: (Obviously I kept the description as one straight line in the mods.csv file, it only changed here) :p

First time i'm downloaded this mod and i'm found solution for your problem

I'm created text file "Korea" in

db / events / NWO /

Then, i'm added test desc for my event in "mod. txt"
My line
EVT_8500838_DESC;My test desc.;;;;;;;;;;x

And my test was sucessfull

2666.png


################################

Event ( Use it as template in your works)

################################

event = {
id = 8500838
random = no
country = KOR

trigger = {


}

name = "Event for NWO"
Desc = "EVT_8500838_DESC"
style = 2

date = { day = 10 month = march year = 1960 }
offset = 20
deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1990 }

action = {
name = "OK"
command = { }
}
}


So. My first-priority recommendations.

I - Create events only, and only by this direction - db / events / NWO /
Mod.txt will ingore other folders

II - Copy/paste Desc line from my example, copy each letter.

Thanks Nikita!
I was wondering, do I really hasve to create that file?
By now all events I've been adding for my AAR have been in the nationalist_korea.txt one.

So, I should create the "Korea" file instead of just adding them to the nationalist_korea one?
I copied the desc string you posted and pasted it on the "mods" file. But it didn't work, so, I guess that the issue is:
A) Me having the event on the nationalist_korea file
OR
B) Maybe the structure of my event is wrong.

I'll try copying your event and just editing the commands to check if it works.
:)

Hello and thanks for your answer
Nationalist_Korea, Democratic_Korea, Monarchist Korea, The file name does not play any role.
Yes. I'm created txt file "Korea" I did this solely for the experiment

I'm almost sure that you have option B. An wrong structure for your event

Like i'm said before, event direction must be - db / events / NWO/ Nationalist_Korea
Make sure that you have correct desc line (See my example)

Desc = "EVT_8500838_DESC"


If the situation is hopeless, I can create for you the correct text file that will correctly display the description of the event
 
Thanks to both for being so kind and helpful!
I stopped event-making for my AAR when I bumped into this issue, but now that it seems solved, I guess I can go back to it.

Thanks!
For your help I looked up and down in my event but it didn't seem to have any mistakes so I guess something went wrong at mods.csv.

Anyways, billion thanks for helping me as well Nikita!
I'm probably going to make a separate file for my custom events as well, haha.

Woah!
It did!
Could you explain me what was wrong? (For future attempts)
Thanks as well!

I'm not exactly sure, but I guess the row you added to mod.csv was poorly formatted. At the very last, it was missing the necessary number of ;.
