@Fren there are two files that come with the mod, and you need to modify the species txt file. But right now the mod is useless and needs and update. I think they modified those files entirely. I will need time to check it out with a fresh mind and pacience. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!

@Bill
Yeah right now it's useless and I don't know yet why. I will try next days to fix it!

game says it's for a previous version and doesn't work at all

how do I modify the species traits and such without flexscript. I tried editing the files that comes with the mod, but only the ethics and civic points can be change.

@Axtasium
If you read the update notes, I've made it clear that the flexScript isn't working right now until I update it's architecture.

@TyM
The easiest way maybe deleting all mods from your mods folder. Or you can search only for the folder of this mod which is the "3038118849" folder and delete it ... then resub this mod.

Steam won't update the mod for me, even if I try unsubbing and resubbing so it's still broken for me. I don't know how to force steam to update mod files. Verifying integrity of game cache didn't work either.

And it doesnt work anyways it appears

flexScript just crashes on me so i guess ill edit manually.

does not work at all

@EternalKnight
Fantastic! That's great to know!

officals are back, thanks for the fix

And... i'm sorry for your waiting

@EternalKnight @TyM @Play4leftovers @Tainurn
Hi! Can you check if it's working? I've removed the leader tweaks until I find a fix for that "deleted officials" problem.

please fix the offical bug asap, literally unplayable ( on a serious note i hope this gets fixed soon this is one of the best extra civics/traits/ethics mod rn )

I'll try to fix it today. I'm really sorry for the bug!

Can also confirm this mod is deleting Officials from working properly.

Tainurn, it does for some reason delete the entire official leader code in . You can replace it with Stellaris original code and change the max traits to 2 instead of 1.

I would recommend using Irony Mod Manager with conflict solver and look over common/leader_classes. Official is only one line of script where-as the normal one is much longer.

No matter what I choose I always have a limit of zero officials. I have no other mods that alter goverments or civis. The issue is with this mod. Any help?

Unfortunately I don't have time right now to update flexscript in order to follow the new setup of the files. I will try to update it later! Thank you guys for the feedback ;) I love you all

I THINK I'VE MADE IT FOLKS!
It's working on my side!

For some reason it just crashes after loading.

Hi! I'm trying to find a solution, but it's been difficult...

The game does start if you just regenerate the files with the fs executable.

Can also confirm, game crashes on loading with this mod on 4.1.3.

Please upgrade to 4.1.3, after launching then error, thank you.

This just refuses to work with 4.0.23

thats the odd part, i loaded it without any other mods. even deleted and redownloaded stellaris convinced it had to be something interfering within the files, i got it to load a couple times but upon clicking 'species traits' it crashes then wont load back up without crashing unless i delete Flexscript. super weird

I tried this mod out and while it does work, for some reason the 00_defines.txt file has the entire contents of the vanilla version of that file, instead of just the ethics picks/points changes? I can't help but ask why that's the case, when the older versions of this mod didn't do that.

Wholesale copying over the entire vanilla 00_defines.txt file will torpedo this mod's compatibility with other mods, can I ask that that be fixed?

@dnceleets
ffs! I'm really sorry for youbad experience with FlexScript (fs).
I will take that in account for the next update I promess. But I need to at least try to replicate your problem.
Could you please resume what the problem is in: https://steamproxy.net/workshop/filedetails/discussion/3038118849/5966762781879865589/
please? Because everytime I update flexscript I read the comments there. Here I lose the history really quick.

That error 13 permission denied maybe can be fixed by running FS with admin perms

also i won't be trying to run it again as doing so broke all my custom empires and now i have to remake them all

I did already figure out it was one of the mods adding more civics and govt things to the game overwriting your mod's changes, for the life of me i can't figure out *why* it does that regardless of where i put it in irony, but i used the patcher to just change that mods value to what i want. I had to manually change species archetype defines in its folder to get those changes

As for trying with only flex i did get something new that i definitely didn't before, error 13 permission denied. Hope that helps

@dnceleets
Hi! flexscript author and mod co-author here!
Can you retry those steps but only with the MPP mod active please?

Correction, none of my changes in the script function, i had just forgotten what my saved values were and thought they were being changed. It's not making any changes to anything for me, however i did find the info on how to change values manually on page 6 at this time. The game still loads my manual changes, or was until i ran the script which deleted the values i put in for traits, and did nothing else. it did update the defines or whatever to make it so the game didn't crash from trying to look at traits, so that at least was very helpful.

I hope any of this is helpful for the mod author, maybe they can sleuth a reason why this is happening in case it happens to anyone else. I'm sure it's user error on my part *somewhere* but no clue where. Could be a mod that adjusts civics and/or ethics but i remember trying this mod (before my manual changes) and it not functioning with no other mods active.

Thinking about it i think i remember this script thing being a problem last year o too, but that time the values were always vanilla no matter what i tried, and someone i think in the comments detailed how to just go in and change the values manually but i've long since forgotten how to do that

yea no clue what's wrong but this doesn't work correctly. Using the script results in 0 points and 0 picks for traits, and removes all the base game empires from the list (though i assume that's only because they are illegal builds to the game). The OTHER aspects do seem to work perfectly though, just not traits

Relaunching the script after launching stellaris usig custom script has it say "one value null or zero" so i guess it's failing to inject correctly. Conversely selecting standard and launching stellaris still results in 0's but relaunching the script doesn't make me rechoose a setting anymore. I Think it's attempting in the right place for injection because originally when i launched the game after a year of not playing it crashed when trying to enter the traits screen, and after running the script i can access the screen but like i said, it's all 0's in there.

The thing is that this mod, from the first day of the first version made by Athinks is incompatible with most of the mods that change ethics, civics or species traits, because it messes with related files.

@Quindite
No you just need to download FS and run it and answer it's questions

@Quindite
With what mods are you loading it? Most people can play with MPP, and I can load it and start a game with no problems. It must be a mod incompatibility.

yeah this mod doesn't seem to work at all with the last few versions of the game, flexscriped isnt loading the values im implementing and if the game does load without crashing, attempting to use those extra points crashes the game anyway, i cant even look at species traits cause it breaks. anyone facing similar?

jeez this is a lot of work..

works like a charm, sadly i dont think it works with ethics and civics bug branch cuz that would be awesome, tried sub mods that added more picks for traits and civics but my agri world designation was removed for some reason

It doesn't matter when flexscript was updated... it is the flexscript that updates the mod. Not the other way around. @Gregor MacGregor

o, ok didnt see that. the one of the Flex page says it wasnt updated since 2024. is that the download I want?

@BananaDealer is it working now bro?

@Gregor MacGregor
Just follow my tutorial above... You just need to run the flexscript to make it updated.

does anyone know of a substitute for this mod? I recently got back into playing again , but really can't without this mod or something like it. . .

OK, figured out the problem - this seems to be incompatible with Ethics and Civics Classic (4.0 Fix WIP)...

It doesn't seem to let me change the Civic points, and it appears to cap the Ethics points to 5, no matter what I put in the FS settings...
