Modding Question: New Possessions and War Missions

[cv10]

So I've been working on a Netherlands mod, and have successfully created new possessions for the Dutch (Celebes, Western New Guinea, Sint Eustatius, and the Netherlands itself). I've also created a Warfile for the Netherlands. However whenever the Netherlands is at war, the following message occurs "No war mission found for possession: the Netherlands" or the othee new possessions. So I figured out what was wrong. When I created the new possessions, this is how far I got in the code for each of them:

MapArea0Possession9Owner=Neutral
MapArea0Possession9Location=53417E 521209N
MapArea0Possession9Name=Netherlands
MapArea0Possession9Value=200
MapArea0Possession9Oil=0
MapArea0Possession9WeatherZone=0
MapArea0Possession9BaseValue=1000
MapArea0Possession9Rebellion=0
MapArea0Possession9Invaded=-1
MapArea0Possession9BuildingBase=0
MapArea0Possession9BaseLocs0=43745E 525800N
MapArea0Possession9BaseENP0=43745E 525800N
MapArea0Possession9BaseNames0=Den Helder
MapArea0Possession9BaseSizes0=4
MapArea0Possession9BaseLocs1=40458E 514957N
MapArea0Possession9BaseENP1=40458E 514957N
MapArea0Possession9BaseNames1=Rotterdam
MapArea0Possession9BaseSizes1=3
MapArea0Possession9BaseLocs2=65705E 531851N
MapArea0Possession9BaseENP2=40458E 514957N
MapArea0Possession9BaseNames2=Delfzijl
MapArea0Possession9BaseSizes2=1

    Could anyone who has done a mod explain how I can fill in the rest of the information. I know that the rest of the code for each possession is what connects it to the Warinfo file. This is the information that I need to put it (taken from the United Kingdom Possession):

    Thanks for any help or advice you can give. This is the first time that I've tried modding anything (my soviet mod was more of a reskin).

If you haven't already, take a good look at the WarInfo file for Byzantium. Many of those missions were 'scratch built', as opposed to my China mod that basically used Japanese missions.

I'm on the road until the weekend (Scranton, PA at the moment) and I'll try to comment more then.

Thank you for the Advice! I'll take at look at them directly

...heh. "Directly". heh.

[director]

At least he can take 'Direction'. Ba-da-dum *Ching*.

I haven't heard this many puns since I listened to Carl Azuz on CNN Student News:) I'm reworking the Netherlands war file right now, and looking at the Byzantium files helped a lot.

Well, be careful with the Byzantium file, the landed nobility can really screw you over.  When I play Byzantium, I just... Can't-stand-th'-nobles.







I'll show myself out...   >.>
