Yamamoto

[Pasha]

This might belong in the Mod forum, but traffic in there is pretty low. Anyway, it's my understanding that if Japan is at war, Yamamoto will die through an event; U.S. P-38s shoot down his plane. I'm pretty sure I can't avoid this by simply extending his "death" date, so does anyone know how I can delete the event itself. Sorry, if this is a silly question, I'm comfortable making minor modifications, but not sure how to find and mod events. Thanks!

In the db\events folder you can open the japanese file. The event will be in here somewhere, but it may be kinda hard to find. If you know the event id, you could search for that, or you can just look through it all (shouldn't take too long).
Once you have found it, simply delete everything from the header (the 3+rows of #'s)
down to just before the header of the event immediately after it. This should take care of everything. Oh, and don't forget to make a backup file

Thanks. I'll take a look into the folder once I'm home from work.

Glad to help!

Oh well, looks like I didn't need to do this after all. I'm playing WiF Titanium and there's no Yamamoto death event. At least I couldn't find it. Plus his death date is set to 1990. Curiously, I did find an event that makes him HOG (HOS?) of Japan, but not sure how to interpret it.
