It can't open.eml files either. Windows 10 cant open files in General Support i installed windows 10 around 1 hour ago and installed nothing but chrome,dropbox,avg antivirus, jre jdk and netbeans. CK2:AGOT 0.9.5 Checksum: XSXI Compatible with: CK2 2.3.4. For me When the file finishes installing, unlike the past few times i installed the mod with the windows installer,The Wizard doesn't pop up and instead my computer tries to open the file up with adobe photoshop, theres a bunch of other's that you can try to open the file with along with photoshop but none work, is this a problem with.
Contents. Prerequisites. Install a good text editor (like ), since default Notepad on Windows screws the file encoding.
Steps Create the CK2 mod directory There are 2 different directories involved:. The CK2 install directory: it contains the base game files, which should not be modified directly and considered 'read-only' (modifications will be lost when Steam is updating). It can be found via Steam: find CK2 in your games library, right click on the name and select properties in the menu. Choose the local files tab and then press browse local files. The CK2 user files: it contains the user data (saves, game preferences, logs and mods).
The path is /My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/. is the home directory, depending on your configuration and Windows version, this could look like: C: Users Documents Paradox Interactive Crusader Kings II Tip: you may create shortcuts to these directories on your desktop. Step 1: Create a mod folder /My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/mod/, if it doesn't exist.
Note: there is also a legacy common Crusader Kings II mod folder in the CK2 install directory, but it must not be used to store mods. Create the.mod file The.mod format here is just a plain text file, saved with.mod file extension instead of the.txt extension. Tip: most CK2 files use.txt extension, but there is also.csv (localization),.gfx (graphics),.sfx (sounds),.gui (interface),.lua (global variables) and.info (documentation). Step 2: Create an empty file named 'mymod.mod' in the CK2 mod folder ( /My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/mod/mymod.mod).
Note: make sure the file extension is.mod (and not.mod.txt) - disable 'Hide Known Extensions' option of Windows explorer. Step 3: Open the file with your editor and add: name = 'My mod' path = 'mod/mymod' Notes:.
Don't forget the quotes, it is mandatory in case there is a space. Save the file with ANSI (Windows-1252) encoding. This is true for all CK2 files: never use UTF-8 encoding (with or without 'BOM')! Tip: the path is relative to CK2 user directory, hence the 'mod/' prefix. Create the mod data folder Step 4: Create an empty folder named 'mymod' in the CK2 mod folder ( /My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/mod/mymod/).
Tip: best practice is to use same name for path folder than the mod file name, so that they are next to each other when browsing the CK2 mod folder. Note: folder and file names are case sensitive on OS other than Windows, so a best practice is to use only lower-case. Making a game modification. Creation of 00mymod.csv file We need a little change that will be quickly visible in-game, to validate that the mod is working. Let's do some basic modding and change the text 'Choose Your Starting Era' on the lobby to 'Choose Your Favourite Era' (the corresponding localisation key is PICKYOURSTARTINGERA) Step 5: Create an empty folder named 'localisation' in the mod data folder ( /My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/mod/mymod/localisation/). Notes:. A mod follows the same folder structure as the base game, and the two are merged when loading in memory.
Beware the folder has to be named 'localisation' and not 'localization'! Step 6: Create an empty file named '00mymod.csv' in that folder ( /My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/mod/mymod/localisation/00mymod.csv). Tip: the '00' prefix is to ensure our localization is loaded first and overrides the vanilla one. Each folder has its own loading order/overriding behavior.
Step 7: Open the file with a text editor and copy the following lines to the file and save: #CODE;ENGLISH;FRENCH;GERMAN;;SPANISH;;;;;;;;;x PICKYOURSTARTINGERA;Choose Your Favourite Era;;;;;;;;;;;;;x That's it! Testing the mod. The modded era selection screen Step 8: Activate the mod 'My mod' in the launcher (and don't activate any other mod) and start the game.
Troubleshooting: if the mod doesn't show up in the launcher, it probably means the.mod file is not in the correct folder or has the wrong extension (.txt instead of.mod). Tip: notice that the in-game has not changed compared to the one from the launcher. This is because the localisation folder doesn't alter the checksum, as it's only a cosmetic change.
Step 9: Click on Start and verify that the title of the pop-up has changed. Troubleshooting: if the change is not visible in game, or the game crashes, check for errors logged by the game at startup in. Step 10: Take some time to congratulate yourself, and go back for more modding!
Note: each time you modify something in the mod files, you need to stop and restart CK2 so that the change is taken into account. Mod other. Take it slowly, with small challenge, one problem at a time!.
