Description:
ck2_ged:
Converts a Crusader Kings II save file (.ck2) into a GEDCOM file (.ged). This file can be interpreted by many different genealogy software packages, providing the player a way to view the family relations occuring within their game.
ck2_title_history:
Allows the user to browse personal title histories (histories of which titles they held, gained, lost, inherited, conquered, revoked, granted, etc, during their lifetimes). It has a command-line interface.
Instructions:
ck2_ged:
Place copies of the following files into the same directory:
- ck2_ged.py
- settings.py
- datatypes.py
- gamedata.py
- gedcomwriter.py
- The .ck2 file you wish to convert
Open settings.py in your favorite text editor or word processor and make sure ck2_install_dir and mod_dir are set to your CKII install directory and the directory where you install mods, respectively. Set other options as you desire.
Run ck2_ged.py, follow the prompts, and wait a moment. When finished, you will find a .ged file with the same name as the .ck2 file in the directory.
Report any problems to the Paradox Interactive Forums thread: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/tool-extract-family-trees-from-your-save-and-browse-personal-title-histories.1120670/. I probably need you to upload your save and tell me what mods you are using.
ck2_title_history:
Place copies of the following files into the same directory:
- ck2_title_history
- settings.py
- datatypes.py
- gamedata.py
- titlehistorybrowser.py
- the .ck2 file you wish to browse
Open settings.py and make sure that ck2_install_dir and mod_dir are set to your CKII install directory and the directory where you install mods, respectively. The other options do no matter.
Run ck2_title_history, and follow the prompts. When finished, it will launch the title browser interface, where you can type commands and see the results. Start by typing "help" to get a help message telling you what commands are recognized. You should then be able to use the browser to browse title histories.
