You don't need to enter a file path or file extension here, just the name. You can navigate to the EU4 game folder and go into /gfx/event_pictures/ to see what pictures you have.

Picture: This is the picture file to use for the event. We'll go over this localisation file in the next part of the series. Title/desc: This is the KEY for your localisation. It's possible to have multiple events, so you'd end up with UNICORN.1, UNICORN.2 and so on. It's good practice to use your namespace (UNICORN in this example) along with a number.

We begin with some basic information about this event. A blank event looks like this: country_event = In the above code, I create a new namespace 'UNICORN.' Country Eventįrom here, we're going to create a country event. Your mod file needs to start with a namespace, which helps prevent code conflicts.

Shun the the unicorn as a false prophet and kill it.

Once it appears, the player will have a choice to make: Our event is the appearance of the Holy Unicorn. The event is going to present the player with two choices and each choice will have a mix of good and bad results. We're going to make an in-game event that triggers when the player's prestige is 1 or more (so right at game start). Open up that file and let's get to building our event.īy the way, if you open up files in the /events/ folder for EU4, you can see how Paradox Interactive did those events to get ideas. When we left off, we created the unicorn.txt file in /mod/unicorn/events/. I'll explain this file line by line with documentation references and at the end of this article, I'll show the completed file.įor more information on event modding setup, you can read event modding. In this part of the series, we're going to fill in the event file to create an awesome event in the game. In Getting Started with Game Modding Europa Universalis 4 - Part One we laid the groundwork for an EU4 game mod.
