Q: I have a compressed save. Can it be converted?

A: Yes.

Q: I have an ironman save. Can it be converted?


A: Yup.

Q: I loaded my mod, but nothing changed. What's wrong?


A: You probably placed the mod in the My Documents mod folder. It needs to go in
the Vic2 install location's mod folder.

Q: Vic2 is crashing at converting history. What do I do?


A: Try going into the mod and deleting history/units. If it now loads, likely a
navy got placed badly. Open up log.txt and search for warnings. If any mention
whitelisting and blacklisting, open port_blacklist.txt and add the provinces in the
warnings to file file. Save it and reconvert. Repeat checking for the warnings and
adding the provinces until there are no more warnings. You should now get a working
mod. Make sure to inform the team of any provinces you had to add so we can include
them in future releases.

Q: Vic2 is crashing at Initializing Maplogic. What do I do?


A: Clear your map cache by deleting the cache folder inside ".../victoria 2/map/"
in both My Documents and the Victoria 2 install location.

Q: Vic2's map is all blue. What do I do?

save to the PDX forums for further study.

Q: The converter says my save is compressed. What do I do?


A: You are using an old converter that does not support conmpressed saves. Download
a fresh release.

Q: How can I customize my game after converting?


A: Use the guide in after_converting.txt in the converter subdirectory. Scan
through configurables/ folder and look into the myriad of configuration files - a
great majority of these files is intended to be modified by users to acheive
specific conversion results.

Q: The generated mod was in a different language than my savegame.


A: Go in the mod of the converted save, then in setting.txt and change the line
"language=l_english" to the language you need, e.g. "language=l_french"

Q: Some/all country names appear as X25, FRA etc.


A: This is an issue with the localisation. See above if you may have changed the
language, if not check the localisation files in the converter for the offending
countries. Sometimes Vic2 fails to load localizations and merely needs to be
restarted.
