[TOOL] Clausewitz Scenario Editor, now for CK3

[MichaelM]

This tool allows you to view history files in many different mapmodes without having to load the game. It also includes a syntax-checking text editor and other useful tools.

Example of one map mode (de jure duchies):

Province cultures map mode, plus a list of map modes (each supported game has a different set of map modes):

The text editor (I've deleted a "}" from the file to demonstrate syntax checking):

I recommend turning backups ON (in text editor: File->Save Backup Files) if you are unfamiliar with the tool.

Source code is available on GitHub.


Requires Java 8 or later


How to run:

1. Download the zip file, then extract it somewhere. It doesn't matter where.
2. Run the program by double-clicking either the .jar or the .bat file. You will get a dialog asking you what game you are working on and where it is located.
3. Select "Crusader Kings 3" and point it to the /game folder in your CK3 installation, something like "C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Crusader Kings III\game".
4. If you're working on a mod, look for it in the mod dropdown in the upper right.
5. When you're done, click OK and wait for it to load. Everything after that should be self-explanatory.

NOTE: CK3 saved games do not fully work yet, so don't use the lower box in the dialog.

If it doesn't work, contact me here or on my Discord and I'll help. I've been working on this editor for 17 years and nearly 150k downloads, so it's unlikely you'll have an issue I haven't seen before

- CK3 religions may now use named_colors and HSV colors.

So amazing!

Tried it, looks great! The 1.0.1 update now correctly loads cultures from the ImperatorToCK3 converter.
Would it be possible to add a development map mode? Development is defined in county and duchy history.

EDIT: In kingdom and empire history as well.

Very probably. If change_development_level exists in a county and its duchy or kingdom, which takes priority? I assume the finer-grained title takes precedence, i.e. a kingdom can be defined with a development level which can be overridden in a particular duchy, which can in turn be overridden in a particular county.

I've just verified that and indeed, finer-grained title takes precedence.
