Actually, as is also documented, you can put your ValidatorSettings.txt directly into the top-level of the mod which you're validating. This is particularly handy when you have mod-wide default validator settings; I just keep my ValidatorSettings.txt checked into my mod's GitHub repository so that anybody else which may find themselves validating it can just get straight to work rather than be spammed with tons of irrelevant messages specific to the mod's content and have to figure-out the configuration for themselves.

So you're both right.

@Divine: In event ZE.6012 (in ze_ambition_events.txt) there's the line character = ROOT_FROM. What is the nature of ROOT_FROM? I see other similar tags in the executable (root_fromfrom, root_fromfromfrom, root_fromfromfromfrom) which aren't in the 2.4.5 executable.

Divine said:
@richvh Oh yeah, about that.
We realized that when the FROM-scope and it's sibling scopes FROMFROM, FROMFROMFROM and FROMFROMFROMFROM are all relative scopes (ie if you nest a FROMFROM inside a FROM the FROMFROM scope will actually point to the same scope as if you directly did a FROMFROMFROM switch from the top of the effect/trigger), we needed some way to refer to the absolute FROM scopes that exist from the top of the effect/trigger when we did some hefty scope changes foremost in the voting patterns for the council.

So basically when we've already used a FROMFROM-scope and want to refer to the original FROM scope inside this FROMFROM scope we can now use ROOT_FROM to access that scope because it breaks the relative-chain that is built up inside the scope changes. It would have been very hard or impossible to do this reference previously (would require multiple uses of PREV and PREVPREV and other various creative techniques of scope-juggling to sort).

We know that this is kinda messy so please don't hesitate to ask any questions about things that are unclear and I'll try to help out.

Note that Root_From[From[From[From]]] are also available for localization. (Brackets to indicate optional additional Froms.)

I have a problem with the validator. When i run the exe, the application don't open and load infinitely, I canno't even stop the process with ctrl+alt+supr, I can just reboot my computer for stop it.

Jamie550 · Feb 6, 2016

Note the upcoming version will not support ROOT_(FROM)+ and anything that is checked in the Validator of "Modifiers" or later. That will come later, but everything else from Bookmarks to Map should mostly work.

@richvh: Re most_prestigious_clan_vassal, that is already accepted in char scope. So now it should be accepted in title scope as well?

Re band_creator, it is currently allowed in a title scope. So it works in char scope as well?

Hm... let me test some things. Thought I had gotten them to fix most Validator reported bugs.

After looking at the code, both of those appear to be bugs and will be bug reported.

ROOT_FROM is a new scope they added in to allow simpler solutions to some complex scripting problems, specifically, referring to a FROM scope from within a FROMFROM scope, since FROMFROM = { FROM = { is equivalent to FROMFROMFROM = {. ROOT_FROM will always refer to FROM, no matter what scope it's used within. If you look back a few posts, you'll find a quote from one of the devs about it buried in my reports.

It is however valid to use 'name' instead of 'modifier' in has_opinion_modifier in the current build.

me said:
Which is preferred, going forward?

dev said:
It was changed due to the fact that we had different triggers/effects that handled modifiers which referred to the modifier by either name or modifier and it was always confusing to remember which trigger/effect used which variable name. So I wouldn't say that we have any clear preference but modifier is the most common one. So one could say that there's a slight preference for modifier.

Now supporting more of the new patch, though undoubtedly there are still issues
ROOT_FROM is supported, kind of. It uses the same logic as the current FROM, because it looks like FROM={FROM={ may not work right today in the Validator. Who knows...
Some more fixes, and more checks for council stuff in Government check
