[mod] CK3 Storyline Editor

[Elgate]

Okay, this looks fantastic. A couple of questions:
How can I add a mod as a requirement?
How can I access stuff from other mods like traits?
How can I add 

Would it be possible to add an artifact creator?
And have them given as rewards?
(I would like to make an artifact chase)

In the startup template, when you click on "Trigger" in options, the entire "Options" part of the menu disappear.



Thank you for this great tool ^^

These are not supported in the editor for now but I'm actively looking at them, especially artifact shouldn't be too hard to add.

later today i'm gonna push the ability to add custom modifiers.

Oh you are right! great catch thank you, i'm going to fix it

in 1.0.4, Added custom modifiers for characters and county, they are in the left tab next to traits. The demo has one of each just to show how to use them.

you can assign/remove them in any event/choice effect with "add/remove modifier", you can choose for how long the modifier will last in days here. And you can check them with triggers if you need certain events or choices to be available only if the modifier is or isn't there.

1.0.4 版本新增了角色和郡县的自定义修饰符功能，它们位于左侧标签页的“特性”旁边。演示版本中每个修饰符各有一个，仅供参考使用方法。

您可以使用“添加/移除修饰符”功能在任何事件/选择效果中分配/移除这些修饰符，并在此处设置修饰符的持续时间（以天为单位）。如果您需要某些事件或选择仅在修饰符存在或不存在时才可用，则可以使用触发器来检查这些修饰符。

Sorry, wrong word, I mean challenges in events, when you have some percentage of success depends of your stats

at the moment you can't exactly do that but you can get quite close.
in the event option -> what happens next? -> if/then?
it will let you choose a trigger (or group of triggers) that if true picks an event otherwise another

 

you can use similar logic in effects as well, by picking if/then under the wrapper category of the effects, so you can give different rewards based on stats/triggers. like this

 

otherwise you have random list, but that's just random, no trigger check.

updated the file to 1.0.5, Artifacts!

 

basically you can create artifacts, choose type, name, description, effects, uniqueness, rarity, wear an tear.
you can then give and remove them in events and also check if characters have a certain artifact.

 

the default artifacts looks uses "Royal Court" and "Fate of Iberia" (if you assign a custom image you don't need them)

weighted random list @PanPiela if you pick random list (both in triggers and effects) there is a new option "stat weighting" if you pick that, you can then define, which stat, min and max values. the slider is just a preview, to see how the percentage will look like in game depending on the charcter stat.
(it says end branch in all options in the screenshot just because i didn't assign any follow up event, but you get the idea)

 

 

 

the zip mod importer in not up to date with artifacts and modifiers atm

I'm looking at it now. which other trait do you think the tool should hold by default? the vanilla game have 301 traits 😧 my tool hold 45 at the moment, i don't believe adding all 300 is a good idea, it might be more complete but it will make the user experience more complicated which is the opposite of what this tool is trying to achieve.
So here's a list of 60ish (divided in the categories you'll see in the tool), let me know if something is missing for you guys.

 

Yeah I don't think adding every single trait in the game is feasible, but adding the rest of the Personality traits that's listed on the wiki would be very helpful

 I've actually added them all in the end. Wherever you can set or check a trait, by default it shows you a curated list of vanilla traits with categories but it you change it to "all" then you have all the traits of the game, it's just a bit hard to find what you need in there.

You can also type trait and trait will appear - most of trait tags is the same as trait name.
Is it possible to do something similar for WHO in character creation? It is probably imposible to add every member of family or court position as a option who to spawn, but if I have place to type, for example, bodyguard_court_position, that would be amazing

That is a good idea to expand the "who" in character creation with a custom field like for the traits. I'll have a look at it.

 

Also have you tried the new traits UI?

The tool works fine. What I mean is, how can the various options within this tool be translated into Chinese to make it easier for Chinese users? Some helpful Chinese netizens have shared your webpage link on Chinese community websites, and many people want to use this tool.

Yes, definitely step in right direction, more clean and intuitive

[gianclod]

I'm working on adding interaction with other mods atm, here's a preview of how it will look like.
For now looking to hook up traits, modifiers and artifacts that you will be able to use like any other made by this tool.
what else should i support?

 Thank you for the artifacts 🤩

 

Anothe question, will there be custom faiths/ cultures and maybe custon buildings in the future??

 

Keep up the great work.

Keep up the great work.

now that i've added support to interact with other mods in 1.6.0, I'm looking at some smaller things.

• Send characters traveling
• more ui/ux improvements
• bug fixing
• I'd like to also see if i can add to the stories panel that came in one of the latest dlc

faiths and cultures is definitely on the plate. Not too sure what people would want with it, just make a new one? new culture traditions? also i think it would be a pickle to fit in the ui.

[gianclod]

Hey hey. Bit of a smaller release 1.6.1 but you can now send characters traveling, which I think it's quite cool. In both decisions and events, under the when category, in addition to immediately and after a time delay, you can now pick "after travel". You chose where (your liege capital, a random holding in your realm or a character current holding) it will then automatically open the ck3 normal travel options, once you arrive at your destination the linked event will fire.

 

I'm now looking at custom contracts for landless adventures, that's probably going to be in the next release.

[elinon7]

Hi, would you happen to know also how to get two characters to have sex at the end of an event? I thought about plugging in the Lay With Your Realm mod to see if it had any usable triggers, but I figured I should ask here too. I'm trying to make a few small married-life flavor events between the ruler and spouse.

You mean the "lay with" from the game? Dammit why didn't I think about it, it's not an effect right now but give me a sec shouldn't be to hard to add

 

[gianclod]

@elinon7 here it is, hope this helps. you now have an effect to make character have sex (if you leave the pregnancy empty it will use normal ck3 chance). And also an effect to make people straight up pregnant.

 

It should work but I didn't test it so I'm just posting it here for now, let me know if it works for you. CK3StorylineEditor.zip
