Even I have excel with free trial,i can't open it somehow, do you know how to fix it , or any alterative,
There should be some error message in the console window that tells you what went wrong.
Alternative -> LibreOffice
Would anyone know how to get the character generator to make less family memebers? I just want a line of of 1 rather then a bunch of unused brothers and sisters. Also how can i make those who are landed just women?
For the character creator you'd be better off using the original tool. The one contained here is stripped down in a way. It makes a line of title holders, each with some siblings. This was used for the Witcher mod in combination with another tool (marriage finder / match maker) to create a web of nobles with claims etc.
But you can always just delete all unneeded characters
Ok, thats fine just wanted to see if it was possible. Its been really great so far for quick landing and character generation. Thanks again.For the character creator you'd be better off using the original tool. The one contained here is stripped down in a way. It makes a line of title holders, each with some siblings.

Running into a weird issue with this tool that I haven't had before. It seems to not be parsing apostrophes and special characters properly - some of the apostrophes in province names in the xls file get replaced with one of two strings of random symbols in the landed_titles file, though not all, rather than being omitted. Accented characters like "û" get consistently replaced with short strings of other letters, instead of just the unaccented base letter. It almost looks like some kind of encoding issue, but I'm not sure what would even be encoded wrong here. The version I had downloaded on my old computer didn't do this, but I grabbed the latest version in the OP tonight and now a good chunk of my landed titles and history files are screwed up.
Whatever the case it's very frustrating and I would appreciate help.

Definitely some encoding problem. Can't really help you without checking out your file.
Here it is. I think this is the version I had the bug with initially, copied from the backup I made before messing with the encoding myself in an effort to find one that worked. Nothing I tried changed anything sadly.
EDIT: Okay, so my girlfriend who is a programmer took a look at it for me and fixed things.
The Problem: File operations were using Windows-1252 correctly, but string operations were using the Java default character encoding, which is typically system dependent. So, on US Windows systems, that's Windows-1252 as well, but as I am running Linux, the default is UTF-8.
The Solution: I run the jar file with the argument "-Dfile.encoding=windows-1252" and the problem is solved.

Cool!
CK2 works with that dumb windows-1252. No way around using it. CK3 made the switch to UTF-8.
