模组制作

Modding, 或称为“模组制作”,是修改基本游戏（即原版）的行为, 无论是供个人使用，或者是公开发布给其他玩家，比如发布到Steam创意工坊。

就所有p社游戏而言，ck2的模组制作有很大开放性，可以很显著的延伸游戏的内容，增强游戏的可玩性。 mod制作者的动机各不相同：更好的翻译成母语，更多的事件及决议，更棒的地图，亦或游戏整体大修改等等。

mod制作非魔术邪说也，人皆可学习相关知识以制作mod，这个指引旨在降低ck2模组制作的门槛。不过，无论学习资料有多么的好，制作mod的过程都会是十分曲折的，并且学习资料无法取代对阅读基础代码，以及不断调试的需要。总之，制作mod不是一天两天的功夫，而是一项宏伟的工程，努力是必须的。

指引

  • 为您的修改创建mod：即使是小的更改也要创建个人mod，并且切勿直接修改Steam CKII文件夹中的游戏文件，因为它们可能会在没有警告的情况下被覆盖。
  • 使用优质的文本编辑器 来编辑文件并搜索多个文件。请参见文本编辑器。
  • 验证你的mod 使用The Validator，它将为您节省许多麻烦和时间，以解决崩溃和错误。
  • 尽量减少对Vanilla文件的覆盖 通过添加单独的文件或尽可能地从文件夹加载，以改善mod兼容性和维护。
  • 使用适当的合并工具 以便在文件夹之间合并，并将修改后的Vanilla文件更新为新的Vanilla补丁。
  • 备份您的工作 以避免丢失一切。如果是一个MOD制作组，请考虑使用诸如GitHub之类的源代码控制系统充当备份并管理协作。
  • 使用ANSI（Windows-1252）编码 用于文本文件。
  • 适当缩进 以轻松发现未闭合的花括号。Vanilla使用1个制表符来缩进而不是空格。
  • 使用注释 以＃字符开头，来记住编写棘手内容的原因。

文本编辑器

以下是支持CK2编程语言的文本编辑器:

Mod结构

 如果你是第一次创作mod，请看引导创建模组.

mod文件被放置在 ~\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod, 里面必须包含:

  • .mod 文件, 告诉启动器如何加载你的mod
  • 包含mod数据好的文件夹或者是zip压缩包。mod数据的文件结构必须和本体的游戏结构相同，注意文件夹和文件的名称大小写在Mac和Linux上市敏感的，这意味着 Abc 和 abc 会被视为两个mod。

.mod 文件的文件名不能包含任何空格，否则在启动器重启的时候，不会被自动选中。

.mod 文件的内容如下所示：

关键字 必需? 效果 例子
name Yes 你的mod显示在启动器中的名称 name = "My Mod"
path Yes 定义那个文件夹是你的mod文件夹。 其路径是相对于~\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\ . path = "mod/MyMod"
user_dir No 告诉启动器存储游戏或临时文件到特定的文件夹。 这对能改善mod的兼容性（例如新的标题，旗帜，宗教，文化，建筑之类的），让文件不会混淆在一起。

警告：不要给主mod的子mod设置 user_dir，因为所有激活mod的user_dir会连接在一起。

user_dir = "MyMod"
archive No 定义一个zip压缩包来代替文件夹。设置它的路径，路径是相对于 ~\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\ 的。这是从Steam Workshop下载的mod使用的格式，但是在将mod上传到Workshop时，必须使用path结构。 archive = "mod/mymod.zip"
replace_path No 告诉启动器覆盖对应文件夹的所有内容，并且只从mod中的指定路径加载。这是删除原版东西的唯一有效方式，而这经常被完全改动类mod所使用。

Notes:

  • replace_path作为文件夹工作，而不是文件.，覆盖一个文件，只需要在mod中创建一个同名文件。
  • replace_path只对对应文件夹中的文件有效，其子文件夹中的文件无效. 例如，覆盖“history”并不会覆盖“history/characters”。
  • 为了缩小mod体积、增强mod兼容性，尽可能少用replace_path.
  • 在旧版本中，replace_path在被安装到CK2安装目录/mod时通常被忽视，因此必须放入使用者文件。（见CK2模组目录
  • 除非你 确实需要使用replace_path才使用，通常不。
 replace_path = "history"

replace_path = "history/characters"

dependencies No Tells the launcher that another mod has to be loaded before this one. The other mod will be loaded first, allowing the 2nd mod to override some files (otherwise the 1st mod would win). A dependency is not a hard requirement; you do not need a dependency loaded if the mod has one set. This is simply a way for the mod file to tell the launcher which files should be loaded first.

If the name of the dependency includes space, you have to enclose the name in escaped quotation marks. "\"Mod with space in name\""

dependencies = { "MyMod" "\"Another Mod\"" }
picture No Image under mod folder to serve as banner for Steam Workshop (will be displayed as 268px × 268px JPEG) picture = "MyMod.jpg"
tags No List of tags for Steam Workshop. Warning: don't forget quotes for tags that contain spaces. tags = { "Tag1" "Tag 2" }
supported_checksums No List of expected checksums for which scripting condition supported_checksums will evaluate to true. This can be used in event modding to display a warning to the player. supported_checksums = { ABCD EFGH }

Below are some examples mod files, depending on the category of the mod:

小型mod

小型 mod更常见一些，为了保证和其它小型mod 的兼容性，请不要使用user_dir或者是replace_path。 

 name = "Small Mod"
 path = "mod/SmallMod"
 picture = "SmallMod.jpg"
 tags = { "Mods" "Small" }

大型mod

Overhaul mods typically use user_dir as saves wouldn't be loadable outside of the mod anyway. For total conversion mods, replace_path can be used to completely ignore vanilla directories that don't make sense in the context of the mod (history, flags, ...) 

 name = "Big Mod"
 path = "mod/BigMod"
 user_dir = "BigMod"
 replace_path = "history/provinces" 
 picture = "BigMod.jpg"
 tags = { "Mods" "Big" }

子mod

主mod 的子mod 通常用 dependencies 来覆盖主mod 的文件。 

 name = "Sub Mod"
 path = "mod/SubMod"
 dependencies = { "\"Main Mod\"" }
 picture = "SubMod.jpg"
 tags = { "Mods" "Main Mod" }

游戏数据

游戏结构

The game data is composed of hierarchy of folders, containing game files.

A mod follows the same folder structure as the base game, so that when loading the game the engine will combine files from vanilla and mod(s). In most folders, the engine will load all the files within, which allows a mod to add new definitions (titles, religions, ...) without having to copy and modify vanilla files. To make use of this, it is important to understand how the scripts are loaded both at file level and definition level.

The behavior when loading a mod is the following:

  • Engine processes folders and files based on some hardcoded load order.
  • If current folder is defined as replace_path, all vanilla files in that folder will be ignored, and only mod files will be loaded (if any).
  • If the mod folder and vanilla folder both contain files with same names, vanilla files will be ignored and mod version will be used.
  • Inside a given folder, the order in which files are processed is usually alphanumerical on combined vanilla and mod file names, though some folders may have a different behavior.
  • When encountering more than once the same definition (title, religion, decision, ...), the duplicate definition may:
    • be ignored (first definition wins)
    • fully override the previous definition (last definition wins)
    • partially override the previous definition (definitions are merged/additive, which only makes sense if there is actually something to merge: hierarchy, list, etc.)
    • coexist/break both (in which case duplicate IDs must be avoided)

Below is a list of CKII game files and folders, with associated modding guide, and loading behavior.

For loading behavior, the cell colours highlight whether the behaviour is the expected one, strange or requiring some attention, or unexpected and to be avoided.

Note: vanilla files were moved inside /dlc/dlc030.zip

EU4 Converter modding [?]
.\events\ Events folder, all events are stored here. Event modding Merge. If redefining an event in a file loaded alphabetically after the original file, the event will be fully overridden.

Developers have discouraged this practice, as that engine behavior is not guaranteed to remain in the future (source ?)

 Graphics folder, all graphics are stored here. Graphics modding

Graphics are mapped to a logical name (GFX_xxx) inside .\interface\*.gfx files
Warning: a missing flag for a title in flags\ will cause wrong flags to appear for most titles, due to a shift.

.\interface\
  • generalstuff.gfx
  • sound.sfx
 Interface graphics Interface modding
  • Loading of *.gfx files is in alphanumerical order. Last spriteType definition loaded overrides previous ones with same name, if any (i.e. use zz_ file prefix to override vanilla sprites).
  • Only sound.sfx is taken into account, other .sfx files are ignored.
.\interface\coat_of_arms\ Coats of arms modding Coat of arms definitions can be split across multiple files. No support for appending existing definitions from a different file.

工具与实用程序

这些是modder用的实用工具。 玩家使用的请看utilities.

高级技巧

  • For the bigger mods using a source control management tool (Git, ...), it is handy to create a symbolic link between CKII mod folder and the working directory of the local repository, especially if the mod also has sub-mods. Note that you'll still need to copy the .mod file(s) manually, but they rarely change. Run the following command from the parent directory of main git folder, replacing:
    • <mod_path_name> by the value of path attribute from .mod file
    • <git_mod_folder> by the name of the sub-folder that contain mod data (folders common, decisions, events, etc...)
mklink /J "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod\<mod_path_name>" ".\<git_mod_folder>"

MOD调试

毫无疑问，更多隐藏的控制台指令（在控制台输入help也不会显示的内容）对MOD测试会起到巨大的作用。

  • observe - 让你进入观察者模式。此时你不再控制任何特定的角色——这会让游戏不受打断地自动运行。同时，所有隐藏特质、秘密信仰等对观察者都是可见的。
  • run <filename.txt> - 直接运行特定脚本。脚本将从当前玩家控制角色的作用域开始执行。这个功能有助于测试复杂的脚本——你可以直接打开一个窗口编辑脚本，保存，重新载入，调整——省下重新打开游戏的时间。
  • reloadevents - 重新载入和编译每一个事件（可能花费一会时间，取决于你的硬件）。对调试事件很有帮助，同样为你省下重新打开游戏的时间。
  • reloadloc - 重新载入本地化文件，有助于确定文本是否显示在正确的位置上。

更多控制台指令可以在首页找到，用于实现杀掉某人之类的特定功能，这些对MOD测试同样必不可少。
