Good evening.
My successful Thousand Islands Mod touches on the Thousand Islands primarily, but because of the Thousand Islands' connection to the Deep Ones and the tasteful Lovecraft parodies George Martin put into his series, I've ended up making some chages to the series of Events that allows you to unseal the Labyrinths of Leng.
In that process, I needed to overwrite three or four Events. Since Paradox coding doesn't let you override individual Events (you have to completely copy the whole file), I will have to replace the "ESSOS.TXT" file, which is made up of eleven thousand lines of code. That is a problem for people who want to make Sub-Mods from the game's Events. I doubt there's any way I can keep up with that AND ensure compatibility with other Mods!
What I am requesting is simply that the Leng Old Ones Chain (and the other Old Ones stories) be relocated to their own text file. In fact, I feel that the entire "ESSOS.TXT" file should should be split into at least four separate files. I can't overwrite that Thousand Islanders tale either....
