Hmm I guess you mean sound.sfx. Right now the validator is listing the files in /sound and cutting off ".wav", should it actually just consult this file for all the sounds instead?

Oops, yes, sound.sfx.
On many sounds, just chopping off the extension of the file works, but many also don't. Presumably they all are actually defined keys in that file. The sound_effect command in the wiki says it works that way. I don't see any other *.sfx files, and the wiki says only that exact named file is read. I'm pretty sure a few mods add sounds that way.
I'd like to request a setting to suppress errors related to ai_will_revoke and revoke_allowed being present in decisions and laws.
Having to remove them from vanilla code when I need to do an override is tedious and just makes merging updates from vanilla more irritating.

Also, add_to_extra_holding isn't recognized by validator, but it's valid.
Excerpt from the Changelog for 2.6.0.7
It's not used anywhere in the vanilla files though.
Titles (d_knights_templar) can be used as nodes in a trigger_switch. Example,

As it's easy to get rid of with find-replace, perhaps Paradox could be lobbied to remove them in the first place.
P
lease post the error you get, the Validator supposedly supports this already.
Code:
--- Error 1 of 1 ---
At <mod>\events\ipc_events.txt [character_event\trigger\FROM\leader] (Line 814, column 15):
Invalid node "leader" in scope SocietyTrigger (value is: <a complex type>)

Invalid node "leader" in scope SocietyCommand (value is: <a complex type>)Leader scopes directly to a society's leader, it works but the validator keeps throwing errors.
This is an example from a vanilla event for hermetics to join the society.
Code:
character_event = {
id = MNM.100
hide_window = yes
is_triggered_only = yes
trigger = {
FROM = { leader = { society_member_of = hermetics } }
}
immediate = {
if = { #Find a non-prisoner member
limit = { FROM = { leader = { prisoner = yes } } }
FROM = {
random_society_member = {
limit = {
society_member_of = hermetics
society_rank == 4
prisoner = no
}
character_event = { id = MNM.101 }
break = yes
}
random_society_member = {
limit = {
society_member_of = hermetics
society_rank == 3
prisoner = no
}
character_event = { id = MNM.101 }
break = yes
}
random_society_member = {
limit = {
society_member_of = hermetics
society_rank == 2
prisoner = no
}
character_event = { id = MNM.101 }
break = yes
}
random_society_member = {
limit = {
society_member_of = hermetics
society_rank == 1
prisoner = no
}
character_event = { id = MNM.101 }
break = yes
}
}
#Everyone is somehow in prison so just use teh leader anyway
}
FROM = { leader = { character_event = { id = MNM.101 } } }
}
}
I don't know if this is the place for this (feel free to remove it if that's the case) but I ran the validator and it said that the approximate location is line -1, column -1. What does this mean?
I need some help... I have more than a couple of mods installed, and while I believe that there are some errors, I find it hard to believe that the game files are this messed up.
There were two parse errors that were easy enough to fix; one was a missing = and the other was a missing }. After that, I re-ran the validator, and I am still getting thousands of issues. I was wondering if someone with more experience with modding and the validator could help me suss out if any of these are actual issues or if there is an underlying root cause of them all.
Thank you, in advance, to anyone who helps me tackle this mountain.

I believe those are vanilla errors. You can turn off the reporting of vanilla errors, so you'll only see your own errors.
Soo, does this work with the current version of the game? It's 2.8.something, right?
The validator doesn't seem to be parsing sound file names correctly. E.g. it's detecting china_angered_emperor as correct sound, even though the file is named chinese_emperor_angered.
It is looking at interface\sound.sfx for names. I believe the sfx file itself is not validated.
Which is the correct behavior! Sound effect names (as defined in sounds.sfx) being the same as the sound file (mostly) is a convention not a rule.
