A few patches ago there was this change that counties would be independent if there wasn't a duke assigned to the liege-duchy (result: kingdoms that have not been properly populated with characters for a start date would shatter). That's why I changed it that a county's liege would be the kingdom it is in. I checked, there is no config option to have it the other way.

Would it be possible to readd this option somehow?
 
Source code is not available. What do you need it for?

I'd personally love to have it for learning purposes and in case one would want to add extra setup info (say, the laws each title has on start), or expand the functionality so that it can build a whole history from several spreadsheets, each spreadsheet representjng a bookmark
 
Even though I'm doing everything right there persists one group of errors in the log:

Code:
[map.cpp:788]: Strait First Parameter Not Valid! Line: 3
[history.cpp:519]: No history file found for province #1, expected file was: history/provinces/1 - Desert of Ara.txt
[history.cpp:519]: No history file found for province #2, expected file was: history/provinces/2 - Khaeron Peaks.txt
[history.cpp:519]: No history file found for province #3, expected file was: history/provinces/3 - Far North.txt

I set everything up correctly, everything fills correctly, yet these two remain - I cannot get rid of them. How do I force the game to understand that I don't want my adjacencies file filled right now and that these three provinces are wastelands?
 
Right now I have completly no idea why mod isn't launching, there are no errors in the log, someone please help? I know the mod is very barebones but I think that I did everything I could to at least have it launch...

Ok so after playing around with the files for some time, I've added a bunch of typical replace_path to your .mod file:

Code:
replace_path = "common/dynasties"
replace_path = "common/landed_titles"
replace_path = "common/offmap_powers"
replace_path = "common/offmap_powers/policies"
replace_path = "common/offmap_powers/statuses"
replace_path = "common/province_setup"
replace_path = "common/trade_routes"
replace_path = "dlc_metadata/dlc_characters"
replace_path = "gfx/flags"
replace_path = "history/characters"
replace_path = "history/offmap_powers"
replace_path = "history/provinces"
replace_path = "history/titles"
replace_path = "history/technology"
replace_path = "history/wars"

... and your map loads - not sure which one did the trick:

map.jpg

Edit: I may have spoken too fast, it seems to randomly succeed or crash when trying to load a few times :eek:

Here's a few things I've also noticed - I don't know if that could matter later:
- terrain and trees don't use exactly the same color palette as vanilla files
- world_normal_height is indexed, while it's RGB in vanilla

Let me know if it fixes it for you too, and good luck with your mod !

This is probably painfully easy to fix and I'm just too stupid to figure it out, but I keep getting this error every time I try to use the tool. Someone know what the problem is?

Well when I try to remove either drive (correct one or otherwise) it gives me this error:
Edit: Nevermind that, I managed to fix that problem (embarrasingly enough, all it was was I forgot to put in Users/ME). Now I have another problem though, with this error:

I'm also getting an error;
I don't have access to excel, and unfortunately I think my file is incompatible with POIFS.
Would you be able to make a version using NPOIFS instead?
I'm pretty sure that would fix mine.
I was so pumped to find this tool; keep up the good work!

You've got some error inside your excel sheet. Some values that aren't quite right

First question there: What the heck is NPOIFS? Can't you just use LibreOffice or something?

I'll give it a shot
POIFS is the library your jar is using to read the xls. NPOIFS is simply an alternative

EDIT - Thanks for the suggestion, reopening and saving in libre fixed it for me

I can't get it to make flags for the new titles.

I have the flag\_other folder filled with flags. But it doesn't make any new ones.

EDIT: Ok it's because the mapfiller is ignoring EVERYTHING.

Heya, getting the attached error when I run the tool. From what Google says about heap space errors and my files, I vaguely suspect that it may be that my provinces.bmp is too big? I was using a modified version of the vanilla map, which worked just fine with the tool, but I've now switched over to a larger map that's about 47mb, whereas the map I was using was only about 18mb. I don't really think there's an easy way for me reduce the size of the file, so is there a way for me to allocate the tool more memory, assuming I'm at all on the right track with this error?

Otherwise, I've not much of an idea what it could be. I've replaced the files several times in different ways to make sure they're definitely the correctly readable type, tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java with the latest version, the config file is definitely pointing at the correct directory, and if I try using the tool after all these changes but just replacing the map files with my older version's files, then it stills works. So it seems like it has to be something wrong with the files themselves.

Yes, it definitely sounds like it ran out of memory. See the -Xmx256m in the 1st line? That's giving the program 256 MB of memory. You'd need to increase that, in mapfiller.bat. No idea how much, but at *least* 32 MB.
 
Hi, sorry to bother, it's me again.

Isn't there a more convenient way than going through every single county history file changing 'liege=k_something' to 'liege=d_something_else'? Perhaps a different setting? This way the process is going to take years...

Thanks!
