Show National Ideas - 1.37

Description
Don't want to look up the new national ideas of the nation you have just been able to form?
This mod allows you to see the national ideas of the nation you have formed during the event New Traditions & Ambitions allowing you to decide if you want to keep your previous ideas or embrace the new ones.



Note:
Original Creator Removed the mod from the workshop, kxevineth

Updates:
Ideas may need updating if changes are made during new patches and updates, this is a manual process so may take some time. Thank you for your understanding.




Shows new National Ideas after you form a new nation

Has cool custom icons embedded into the event text to help the user identify the Ideas, Traditions, and Ambitions of the formed nation.

Intergrates well with The Great Exhibition
As each nation group has a colour picture as seen in the preview images

Mod is technically finished, some small extra features are planned

Please let me know about any problems or mistakes in the comments or discussions section

Ironman compatible



Purpose of the mod:
To allow the player to see the new national ideas of the nation before switching to them without having to look it up on the wiki, in a way that would allow the mod to be ironman compatible. Also you can compare the new ideas with your previous ones, to make an informed decision about if they are better. Just move the event window and compare the ideas with your old ones.



How it works:
The ideas are copied into the localisation file manually. The mod does NOT currently detect the ideas in the game files, which means it has to be manually updated every patch (that changes ideas). If the mod is outdated, it should work normally, but might show wrong ideas for some nations.



Compatibility with other mods:
It won't interfere with any other mods that don't affect the localisation of the new ideas event, however it only has info to show for countries that are formable in unmodded (vanilla) game. If you use it with a mod that adds a new formable nation or makes an existing nation formable, it simply won't show the ideas for it, but will still work as normal for all the other nations.



Version Compatibility:
This mod is updated currently to the 1.37.* patch, it will work on older patches, but the ideas displayed for the updated nations will display current updated national ideas. Meaning if you form the Siam, Japan, or any updated nation you will see the new ideas in the event, but will get the ideas of your current version since this mod is only visual event text. This is the case as there is a limited set of users playing on older patches. If you know you want to stay on an older patch please keep backups of your subscribed mods so that you can continue playing with them locally. Thank you for your understanding.



DLC requirements:
This mod works without any DLCs. I have tried to make it show appropriate national ideas based on which DLCs are enabled.



Planned Features:

Update to future versions?

Update workshop images

Update using a script, to reduce work required to update



Endorsed Translations & Related Mods:

Sorry this is a bit late, had to find my laptop to upload the mod to the steam workshop. I kept getting a "failed to upload mod error", but somehow using my old laptop worked. I believe this should be the last time this mod needs updating as there looks to be no more DLC's. This mod will therefore be set as complete. Let me know if there is any missing ideas and I will endeavour to fix. Cheers and happy map painting!

With the new 1.37 update this mod should still work, but will currently display the wrong ideas for the changed nations. Please allow time for me to update the mod, thank you for your consideration.

@Gloint Thanks for testing. I'll look into it and get back to you.

I tried, after getting launcher to recognize the "new" mod, it does nothing in game
Salty  [author] 14 Dec, 2023 @ 10:11am 
You can test it quite easily in a normal game with the console using the command "event ideagroups.1" if you have started as a nation which is formable.

@Gloint Yeah sorry, the mod works by changing the localisation file to display additional text during the event "event ideagroups.1" . Since this mod currently only supports English, that will be the reason it doesn't work for you. If you want it to work in your language AND you don't mind the text being in English for the event copy the mod to your local mod folder in ...\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod. Then adjust the name of the YAML file (.yml) to be the language of your choice. For example if you wanted it in German then the file names would be SNI_I_german.yml in both the localisation folder and inside the replace folder. Let me know if you try this and it works!

The mod does not seem to work for me. Do I need to do something more than install it via steam? Or is it because I don't play the game in english?

yes I'm already doing like that :D I just wondered if there was any easier way to see that but apparently there is not. thank you

@Bomonti As a followup, I'm not sure its possible to track your previous TAG (this mod tracks TAG switches, as when you get the new event you have already changed your TAG), so displaying your currrent ideas (from the previous TAG) in the event with the new ones would not be possible. Potentially if it were not ironman. But that is not the purpose of this mod, as non-ironman games tend to be better with additional mods that may affect national ideas
