Looking for a Script to Change Region Status

[Gen. Monkey-Bear]

Hello all. I'm looking for a script to change the status of a region or area. What I mean by that is I want a region currently listed as a non-colonial region to become colonial. I can't find a similar script in the game, so I wonder if some of the more experienced modders can help me with this? Unfortunately the PON database is not updated for the current version, so I'll have to write it in directly.

I have figured out how to fix this for starting a fresh game if that is what you are looking for.

I have no idea about how to do it for a game in process.

This will do you, its from the German events file and to create their colonies in E and SW Africa in the 1880s:

SelectFaction = $CMN

Actions

SelectFaction = $GER

SetColStatusArea = $Colony_SudWest_Afrika;$colProtectorate

if you don't want to make it a protectorate then make it influenced. You'll need to look in the GameData directory and the colonialareas file for the relevant geographical names. I think there are similar scripts in the Italian event files too (connected to the creation of the Italian colonies in the 1880s)

I don't think you can make an area colonial but if you wanted to do that I'd add the commands to the ColonialAreas file.

I'm absolutely trying to do that, in Egypt, doesn't work as Egypt is not referenced colony (no Colony_Egypt)

guess either someone can make those commands, or I'll have to tinker to basic data colonial files (guess replacing by this name and setting SOI must be possible ... especially ..) - guess the former would be cleaner, so, if you can do that, please do

many many thanks
