I was kidding. It's just a habit to write them in caps, it doesn't actually offer any real advantages.
Problem is that even Paradox doesn't have any standardization for this.
Personally I have a few simple rules:
The first bracket always goes on the same line as the scope. E.G.,
Code:
ROOT = {
NOT = { religion_group = pagan_group }
}- Always put a space between everything, except brackets.
- If there's only a single condition and scope, put everything on the same line. E.G., FROM = { trait = paranoid }
- A final NOT doesn't count as anything for most purposes. E.G., FROM = { NOT = { trait = paranoid }
- Everything else should be separated by line and indented per scope. E.G.:
Code:
can_use = {
ROOT = {
NOT = { religion_group = pagan_group }
NOT = {
AND = {
OR = {
AND = {
religion = orthodox
culture = ethiopian
}
religion = monophysite
religion_group = muslim
}
FROM = {
OR = {
AND = {
religion = orthodox
culture = ethiopian
}
religion = monophysite
religion_group = muslim
}
}
}
}
}
}@Korbah: Why would you use FROM scope for a decision? Decisions (excluding laws) start in character-scope, and ROOT refers to the character. I'm not even sure who FROM would count as.
It's false positives time with Wiz again!

That's not the entire can_use section, no. Here's the full can_use section in Balansegang:
This isn't really relevant to this thread though. Which reminds me of an idea I've had for a while now: A CKII modding IRC channel where we could discuss CKII in general, and modding in particular. If anyone's interested I'll create one.

}Right, made an IRC channel: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?606862-CKII-Modding-IRC-Channel
False positive:
realm_learning is tested as working (all the realm_stat checks do).

BTW, you might want to update the OP. It says that the Validator only checks dynasty, history and localisation but it checks a lot more than that now.
The lesson being to not use Norton 
Norton has never been particularly good. I'd recommend using Microsoft Security Essentials instead; it is free as long as you have a legal copy of Windows.

It's false positives time again (the best time).
monthly_income tested as working fine.
controller tested as working fine (targets controller of capital barony).
Tested as working fine, you appear to be able to put any province effects in tech.

Heeeere's Wiz... with the false positives.
This is a valid scope.
prisoner = yes/no works fine.
And that's it for today.

A few false-positives:
tech_growth_modifier_economy, _culture, and_military are all valid from building scope:
At <mod>\common\buildings.txt [temple\tp_town_5] (Line 4290, Column 2):
Invalid node "tech_growth_modifier_economy" in scope BuildingDef (value is: 0.02)

Have you accounted for the exporting of various common files done in 1.06?
Is there a quick way to turn off the localisation checking? It's virtually impossible to detect actual errors among all the "not found in localisation" spam.
Validator breaks for me upon validating, saying it can't parse my mod-file. My mod-file
