The EU Validator

[Doomdark]

To help you guys edit the game files I've hacked together a little tool with some pretty useful features:

1) Detect all free id ranges for leaders and monarchs.

2) Validate the leader, monarch and .inc (scenario) files, looking for id conflicts and some other inconsistencies.

3) List all monarchs in one comprehensive list.

4) List all leaders in one comprehensive list.

This is a Windows command prompt utility, so it is usually best to use redirect ('>') to send the output to a log file. E.g. 'EuCheck monarchs > log.txt' Just put the file in your EU directory and run it from a command prompt. FYI it is a Java program, so it needs the Microsoft Java VM (installed with Windows) to run.

The program can be downloaded from here http://www.ludd.luth.se/~doomdark/EUproject.html

Happy hacking!

It looks like not all leaders appears in file created by program. I could not found any russian leaders at all.

Same problem with monarche. It returns 'NullPoint Exception'.

Da*n Doomie, you are multi-talented! Thanks for that program.

Hmm, that is strange. It works for me. I've tried it with the German and Swedish versions. If the other functions work for you there might be actual errors in your Russian leader/monarch files, or in the text.csv file. (The EU validator uses your text.csv file to get the names for the countries.)

Heh, now that I study the output I see that the leader file for Tuscany has the wrong extension. It should be TOS, not TUS. Something for the next version of the IGC.

Thanks. Glad that someone appreciates the effort.

I noticed & changed the .TOS file problem.... guess I forgot to mention it on one of the patch suggestion lists.

Great idea for a utility, Doomdark - thanks!
