Determines Stellaris version in-game. Sets appropriate global flag for mods to use. Work in progress. Currently checks whether the game is >= 2.7 or <= 2.6.

Current global flags:
vchecker_2_7_and_up
vchecker_2_6_and_down

Flags available two days after the game start.

Useful if you want to solve Stellaris version compatibility issues or implement mod features differently for each game version.

Mods using vchecker functionality:

• Void Dwellers Expanded - brings back Habitat Arcology decisions and proper habitat model swap (which needed change in 2.7+), making the mod backwards compatible with old 2.6*.

It looks for version-specific trigger/modifier/effect configuration. See almost complete list here: https://github.com/OldEnt/stellaris-triggers-modifiers-effects-list

Fires automatically at start. If you wish to re-evaluate version run the following:
remove_global_flag = vchecker_version_checked
event vchecker.1 (this is a 'global' country event, fire for all)

Global flag in a 2.6 save:

Global flag in the same save, but on 2.7 after re-evaluation:

Run vchecker.100 for pop-up with game version shown.

Wouw* No offense, but this is somehow really crazy! You using "every_pop" (which is global in 2.6) in a loop with "every_owned_pop"... (to set a flag on every pop in the galaxy as many times as you have own pops) alone is fully sick. But using this only to get the game version is just completely crazy!!!1 Sorry >D
And for 2.7 the same 8-o :

vchecker_every_galaxy_pop_effect_2_7_check = {
    every_owned_pop = {
        every_galaxy_pop = {
            set_pop_flag = vchecker_2_7_pop
        }
    }
}

EDIT: Why not simply use:

effect = {
    if = { limit = { any_playable_country = {count=all} }
    set_global_flag = vchecker_2_7_and_up
    log = "Count country: [This.GetName] version 2.7"
}

I also wonder there is no simple native command for this, as there exists the version console command.

Hi,
There is no loop, events fire only once at the begining of the game where the number of pops is miniscule and performance impact (for a single day) is non-existent. Granted, I could probably limit the scope to a single owned planet but that's just tweaking for an obscure mod hardly anyone will ever use I have no time for.

There is no native version command, that's the whole point of this mod. I needed to have one so I wrote it for my use.

It isn't for "just" getting a game version. Being able to check game version was for me a difference between having functional and broken mod.

any_playable_country trigger existed in 2.6.
Looking at the trigger list differences now again, i will probably change it to leader_age if I find some time, thanks.

Hey, I've tested this for 2.6 and 2.7, this command with "count" is not working in 2.6...
I mean not day loop, I mean this pop loop with multiplying : "every_" every_owned_pop = { every_galaxy_pop. (without limit or break)
Anyway, thanks for your ideas and mods too.

Oh that's good to know! I will check it out and implement if you don't mind?
