I need help with mod creation. Please, help me!

What is the world like in 2020? What are the different ways to play? How can I create my own futuristic scenario and country groupings?

I need help with mod creation. Please, help me!

Post by CommissarKarkhov »

I created my mod earlier today (WAAAY earlier) and I haven't gotten it to create a cache file all day!

I at first, not knowing the proper method, simply left the game running in the main menu.

However, I found out the proper way, and upon attempting to execute the aforementioned plan of action, the game crashes.

I have absolutely no idea what causes this crash or how it can be fixed.

Please help!

I fixed the crash, however I cannot get the custom regions to have the territories I want them to. Help!

Also, it doesn't re-cache.

what files have you changed?

Have you tried restoring the files you changed one at a time to determine which file is broken?

I'm not sure I broke a file, seeing as it doesn't crash anymore.

Then what do you mean by "it doesn't re-cache"?

I reset my settings, I select the map without changing any settings, but it doesn't try to create a new cache file.

(I am modding regions if you didn't know)

I think you're going to need to give more details about what you're trying to create, what you've done and where you're stuck.

I grouped several regions into 3 others, making the 3 larger. Those three regions are Poland (Which I've renamed), Japan, and the USSR.

I removed the regions that were grouped from the REGIONINCL file, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the scenario file; I only changed it to use the files I made for the mod.

So did you make a new group in the .cvp region that is a grouping of those regions? What is the ID of the group? Is that ID in the RegionINCL? What do you see for those 3 regions on the map when you cache?

I didn't create a new region, if that's what you're asking. One is just a renamed Poland and another is Japan with "Imperial" stuck into the beginning. The borders haven't changed at all (Although I'm trying to get them to). The other Region is just an enlarged USSR.

So what files have you modified? From what you've said I figure it's the .scenario, the .cvp, the regionINCL and a cache file. Anything else?

Actually, I haven't done anything with a cache file, it's just that the game won't generate one.

The only other files I edited were in the LOCALEN folder to change names/descriptions.

What does happen why you try and launch the file?

It just takes me to the normal map, nothing has changed.
