AGOT Colonize Valyria MB 2.2 + Homes for Houses COMPATCH v1

WARNING: I do NOT recommend using this for now. Somehow, the pathing between most Valyrian provinces is utterly broken. I am leaving the compatch available for download in case anyone wants to pick it up and improve on it faster than I can. It seems I messed something up in the process and I'm working on a fix.

Hello everyone,


After hours of struggling with map editing and making mods compatible, I've put together a compatch that will work with Homes for Houses 1.7.1 and AGOT Colonizable Valyria Revised - MB 2.2. Please note that this is a heavy work in progress and I pre-released it for people who are anxious to play with Homes for Houses and Colonizable Valyria at the same time. The compatch is rough around the edges, but it's gonna work better soon enough. Read the instructions carefully before reporting any issues, please!


You need the following mods for this to function:

• AGOT More Bloodlines
  
• AGOT Homes for Houses 1.7.1
• AGOT Colonizable Valyria Revised - MB 2.2 (the compatch is for THIS mod, none other - you must download this one or it won't work!)

CURRENT ISSUES, TO-DO LIST:

• There are provinces that are blacked out and uninteractable; this is the result of a lack of proper adaptation of the map files by the original mod authors of Colonize Valyria;
• Some provinces (such as Ilvonys and Kastaryia) are colored on the map, but are owned by "No Character" and cannot be interacted with;
• Many of the provinces in Valyria and their holdings do not even have their specific holding type building; you can still build in them, but they just don't have the castle, town or church/sept holding build (i.e Huge Valyrian Fortress, Small Essosi Valyrian Castle etc.);
• Fix some minor localisation issues (it is simple, so you can fix those yourselves in the meantime if you wish).

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

• This compatch is completely safe to use with Homes for Houses, More Bloodlines, Portrait Overhaul, Zing's Bugfixes (MBS version only, it doesn't work with Zing's Bugfixes CO as far as I'm concerned, but I may be wrong as I don't personally use CO) and any other major mods. It provides out-of-the-box compatibility with all of them, though some small issues may arise if you don't have compatches for mods like Zing's Bugfixes and Homes for Houses. Make sure to check out and download the other compatches I did depending on the mods you use: Homes for Houses 1.7.1 + Zing's Bugfixes MBS COMPATCH v2 and AGOT Portrait Overhaul + Homes for Houses 1.7.1 COMPATCH.
• This is compatible with all of the bookmarks provided by AGOT 2.2. It's not made for any of the earlier bookmarks that are provided as official submods (Ghiscari Wars, Valyrian Freehold and the others).
• This mod heavily relies on .bmp file editing, which is a difficult and daunting task. As far as I'm concerned, I've completely merged the .bmp files of the mods in question and they work just fine. If you've got any pointers towards any issues, please let me know.
  
• This mod features all of the Valyrian provinces, meaning there are quite a lot to offer you a more dynamic and diverse Valyria, with more power struggles between the nobles of the realm.
  
• This mod features stuff that was combined from different mods. More details will be found in the credits section.
  

• It's perfectly fine if your starting game screen looks like this:
  
• 
  INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Simply drag the contents of the .zip file into your Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod. If you don't have a "mod" folder in there, create one yourself, but you should already have other mods installed by now so there's no point in reiterating this.
