Alright. I'll just start to work other things on the newest mod? Which I assume should have the change leader feature, if I understood what you are saying correctly.

No, I don't think you understood what I meant, there's no leader change feature or anything like that, you have to play around with forming civs and leader date of births. The only mod that has the feature without needing to form civs is norrvagen, both tno and be2 don't have that feature in the jar files, tno relies on a different way of forming civs which I can't explain very easily. They do have ai aggressiveness edited and vassals being unable to turn on you tho, like I mentioned before. I don't have the tno file with me as something went wrong with the file transfer so I'll send it 2 days later.

anyways I have the tno file, apologies for the rar file it had to be compressed because it passed the file size limit. Just make the changes needed such as the event box size etc

Well ... this is a little awkward.

While the original game and the TNO jar file I downloaded from this forum can be perfectly decompiled and modified, your jar file seem to be encoded in a different way. Trying to decompile this jar file will lead to much more compilation error than the original jar file, which makes me unable to modify anything.

(READ EDIT) alright just use the tno one from the mod then, if it also has the ability to make vassals not turn on you (first test it yourself, if it doesn't then I'll find another way to send mine to you which definitely has it)

EDIT: On second thought, just use the one you sent to me with the broadcast feature and make the changes (update turns before war declaration to unlimited, min army to attack is 1000) as after a bit of testing with your file it seems it has quite a few advantages over the tno one, you can disregard the making vassals turn on you thing for now, and if you come across it in the tno files you can just add it later, for now just do the changes on the file you sent as a test in the thread which I originally first replied to

so something weird happened, I was testing a scenario where I used the change leader technique of forming a nation with a leader that has a later birth of date than the previous leader and forming back to the original civ, and it doesn't seem to work anymore. It still works on the old jar file, but the new one seems to not be working anymore. How could this be? Did you make some extra changes other than the ones i requested which may have altered or affected that feature? (This feature only works on your old jar file, the vanilla game doesnt have this feature nor does the new one you sent)

-Unlimited (99999999) turns before war 

-Change minimum army to attack to 500 or 1000 

↑These can be easily done.

 

 

-Vassals never turn on you

-Custom Loading Screen (let there be an image when you load into the game)

↑These might be doable but may take long time to look into, I'm not sure whether I will be able to finish these before Feburary (with all the other works ongoing).

 

 

-Disabling of various diplomatic actions (peace negotiations during war, improve relations and insult, trade, ask/give military access, release a vassal etc.)

↑This can be done using a easy trick: a event that decreases diplomacy points -10 for each turn. Or I can modify the code to raise the point cost of the actions.

 

 

- Custom GUI (???) (Eg, decisions menu in hoi4, or you could change the diplomatic view screen of countries to look more like hoi4 tno, where the ideology icons are clear and well-sized, and various information of the country are listed very neatly)

↑This does not rely on source code, you can edit in GUI, and it is already done in many many mods.

 

 

-Custom event triggers/actions (for example, playing a sound effect or song when an event shows up or is clicked)

↑This is also something that I want, but it is not likely to be possible.

 

 

-Custom features (frontline in hoi4, which makes all troops go along the border of a country automatically, and other examples)

↑Maybe checkout Overhaul mod, they are working on these (i.e.: copying HOI4 features, the biggest focus might be Decision Tree, I'm not sure about frontline features). I'm also following their work personally. Let's wait and support them together.

 

 

But why you think that event sounds is not possible. Hypothetically we can make some class or method that can activate sound effect in game folders. Also add in event editor superevent checkbox that will activate this method. Is it impossible to make new GUI elements in game like my example? Does it sounds too fantastic?

[Cvekla 18]

Also I slightly didn't understood your broadcast function. I replaced EventsManager from your jar to my and there is no any changes. I know that you added just like four lines of code, but maybe you modified any other classes? Idk tbh.

No I didn't change anything related to leader.

It is possible, yes. But it involves way more coding than I'm currently doing. It might be possible if I'm researching about this full-time, but I still have life. Personally, I'm not gonna have much time later.

Though, a good news is that in the past year, Chinese AoH2 modders have increased greatly. A LOT of techinical groups emerged, and are working hard now. We are advancing in developing new systems with much more and complex code change. So, let's wait and see what they'll exhibit!

I didn't change other things. The broadcast function means that if now a event's recipient is Neutral, it will be triggered by all civilizations (so don't add effect on this event otherwise it will be triggered hundreds of times).

Oof, my friend already made for me broadcast system but with strict use of a specific country tag. But thanks anyway.

Also, my friend already made superevents and sounds on event run, but I would like to show it when I release a beta of my mod. 

[Cvekla 18]

But anyway we can't add new GUI elements due to decompilation problems (about 1k errors in big classes, not epic). I can't imagine how to code in bytecode, I don't think this is possible. However BE developers already making big changes in AoC related to GUi Imo. This is just insane.

Sorry for the delay.

Yes. There's definitely something wrong in your image encoding.

I threw your image into a converter (from png to png, yep), and then it works.

Then it works fine. So that image might be something that is not actually a standard png, but compressed in some way.

Now after conversion it works fine. I've attached the converted line map and the generated color map.

 

 

Notice that you may need to manually handle the small glitching islands. The better way to do that is to handle the line map, remove the small glitches before feeding into AoM.

i have the same problem, please help.
