You can use your Apple computer's Terminal to delete the .DS_Store files automatically, rather than having someone else laboriously delete them manually in Windows Explorer. A tutorial is here.

In brief:

No, it's not the ds files - I know how to do that - the issue is with creating plain text files for characters and dynasties without which they glitch.

Have you set the encoding of Notepad++ to ANSI (rather than UTF-8)? (If you open a file and it says "UTF-8" in the lower-right corner of the screen, you need to choose in the "Encoding" menu the option "Convert to ANSI", not "Encode in ANSI", in order to make the file work properly in CK2.)

If you've definitely set Notepad++ to use the correct encoding, and the glitch is still occurring, I guess I could ensure their proper encoding on my Windows computer.

I'll check it when I get the chance. I was wondering too if it would be possible when an Empire is created that it automatically gives dejure empire status for whatever Kingdoms you hold at the time you create it? Because while the create empire decision works fine with automatically destroying kingdoms, it can be kind of awkward if you don't hold all dejure land of a Kingdom.

Isn't this already a game rule (emf_dejure_custom_titles)?

Not that I'm aware of. As far as I know you have to wait for your starting kingdoms to drift, which takes 50 years assuming you own all the land.

I was wrong--it hasn't yet been transferred from the old customization decisions to a full-fledged game rule.

Check emf_create_custom_empire in emf_empires_decisions.txt. If the emf_dejure_custom_titles global flag has been set, you completely control all counties in a kingdom, and the kingdom's empire doesn't exist, the kingdom becomes a de jure part of your empire.

If you want the kingdoms to become de jure part of the new empire regardless of whether or not they're completely controlled, you can further modify the event titular_title_transfer.3 in the attached archive (which includes the on_actions file necessary to make it work properly) to match your purposes.

Judging by this won't it transfer duchies from one dejure kingdom to another if you create a kingdom? I was just looking to transfer held kingdoms to empires when they are created (including ones not completely controlled, the title is just what I'm looking for). Thanks though

Also it appears that the text editor is literally unable to save in the correct file format.

I have to ask again, is there anyone with a windows I can send text files to who can then send them back to me?

If all you need is someone with windows to encode text files I can do it.
 
the text editor
Are you using Notepad++, or some other text-editing program?
Whoops, I didn't realize that Notepad++ was Windows-only. Are you sure that whichever program you're using has encoding-conversion capabilities? I think Vim is one alternative that's often recommended.

Well I tried this and it doesn't appear to work. Even if you control all titles in a kingdom and hold the title it still won't add it to a dejure empire.

I don't know what was causing the problem (error.log was totally unhelpful), but I fiddled around with the file, and the attached version worked when I followed these steps:

0. Be the Queen of Italy
1. Use the console to gain k_trinacria and k_croatia
2. Use the console to gain 1000 ducats
3. Create e_custom_a
4. All three kingdoms (Italy, Sicily, and Croatia) are now de jure components of e_custom_a

I need more info. I doubt it's anything with my mod though since I've seen nothing like it happen and I don't have anything coded in the middle east or with transferring vassals.
 
Pretty much same thing happened just chilling and then the switch happen no event no declaration of war or revolt

What empires were present on the map. What year. What version of HIP were you running? Was it with SMWH (the full version?) Did someone inherit something? See if youcan find a specific thing that is triggering it. Who holds them as vassals now?
 
Major new update. Ireland has been consolidated into one holding. In 1066 though Ireland is split between the supporters of the Munster/Leinster High Kingship (which is given the dejure Ireland Kingship) and the supporters of the Mide/O'Neil High Kingship (which is given the Titular Irish Kingship)

The Celtic states are no longer tribal in 1066 since that system didn't work correctly (it tended to be overpowered towards them and tended to break plausibility with regards to monarchical succession never changing to gavelkind, as well as my feelings that feudalism with the changes I've made represents it better then tribalism.

Well 867 isn't working correctly for some reason, although 1066 still works fine.
 
Slightly revised version up. Cleaned up a few things I forgot to change. War of the Two Eriks is now no longer active at game start since it was broken and didn't work correctly, leading Sweden to simply get boxed in when Uppland inevitably got conquered by someone else. Scotland is now at limited Crown Authority since it kept getting beaten up. Minimal Crown Authority now causes -65% to vassal levies. Cost to raise Crown Authority reduced to 1000 prestige.
 
Hades6+ ful shwm and all the yes options (1.52 walter mod),The screenshot is when it happened. The leaders are the same pre and post switch it wasnt inheritance since they did not die it just swapped this time with the Empire of alfatimyun. there is something going on with the middle east and title holders. There is no event no revolt or wars it just happened.

You're sure it was an empire level title? Fatimids aren't an Empire at the start which is why I asked. Are you playing with dejure ahistorical empires?
