Crusader Kings Ii Mods Mod Folder Found

Crusader Kings Ii Mods Mod Folder Found

This shows the old method of using the mod folder found in the main CK2 directory.

By doing it this way one is forced to copy any needed files, thus avoiding messing up ones CK2 installation.

Within the Crusader Kings II folder you will find the mod folder, if you dont then create a new one.

In this folder you must create a new folder named after your mod; for the purposes of this guide I shall call it My Mod.

It is within this folder that you will be placing your mod files, and you must be careful to preserve the folder structure found in the main CK2 directory.

To create the file simply create a.txt file (right-click - New - Text Document, for Windows users) and then change the.txt part of the name to.mod.

If a warning window pops up about changing file type, just click Yes to continue to make the change.

The second line tells the game where the mod is kept; here its kept in the CK2 mod folder.

The third line of a.mod file is defining the folder where temporary files such as savegames and error logs can be stored.

This is in fact the end of all of the required lines for the mod to run correctly, of course, with just these three lines youll just be playing vanilla CK2 under a different name.

For every file that you have made changes to or any files that you have added, you will need to add the path of the folder that it is in to the.mod file.

Following the kengland.txt example, you will need to add the line replacepath historytitles (with the quotation marks).

These files are what the game uses to determine what text to display for each language from the internal name that the game uses for the current item.

For example, kengland is the games internal name for the Kingdom of England.

So if we wanted to change the name of England to, say, TESTING then all what we need to do is this.

Now copy text1.csv from CK2s localisation folder to your localisation folder found in your mods folder.

From here, simply open up the file, find the above kengland line, and modify it.

What went wrong We havent told the game what to replace, and how do we do this By adding these lines to the end of the.mod file that I mentioned earlier in the guide.

If you cannot see the file extension.txt on your created text document then you will need to go to Folder Options and uncheck the Hide file extensions for known file types.
