After completing the Indian Home Rule JE it sends the Headline for the collapse of British India, despite the Dominion of India still being a British subject.

This is absolutely stupendous! A much needed mod and one I will *always* be using. It just gives the game that extra bit of flavour with some crucial information. Probably as close as we'll get to the newspaper headlines of Vicky 2. Thanks for making this <3

Best mod ever. Such a small thing, but makes such a difference in helping the world appear alive.

Love this mod so much.

@Rune Trantor there is no more text in reality. Its to imply that there is a whole newspaper article about the event, you just don't get to read it.

LOL that's exactly why I came here.

Makes the game so much better - many thanks
Rune Trantor Aug 5, 2024 @ 1:46pm 
Dammit, some cut in ways that make me wanna read more. XD

Is there a way to like, open the notification and read further, or what we see is what there is and the '...' is just baiting us into thinking there's more? :P

@Ackbaraddin thanks! added the link to the description

I made Turkish localization as submod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3287713482 Thanks for mod @CaelReader

@NoobDontKill thanks, I've updated the link in the description

I made an updated Chinese localization sub-mod as the previous one did not update https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3283227906

One of the best features of Vic 2 was the paper. I loved reading the silly and wack stories on the sidelines and the big front news tho sometimes repetitive were very inmersive and useful

If you play qunxings' Factory Expansion mode and Headlines together, you will not be able to use Mainstream Industry. Is it editable?
Citoyen Jun 25, 2024 @ 7:11pm 
king shit right here
Goose! Jun 24, 2024 @ 5:37pm 
Thanks for all the work. Very enjoyable mod.
hachimuka Apr 21, 2024 @ 11:35am 
melhor que ta tendo
Schenzi Apr 21, 2024 @ 11:03am 
Got it. Thank you very much and nice mod!
CaelReader  [author] Apr 13, 2024 @ 6:16pm 
@Schenzi copy the localization file and change the folder and file name to the relevant l_language rather than l_english. It will display in english still
Schenzi Apr 13, 2024 @ 1:58pm 
Is it possible that the headlines dont work if you play with an other language than english? It only shows the code name of the headline. Is there any way I could make it work?
Ruin Apr 12, 2024 @ 8:15pm 
@CaelReader Fantastic, thanks!
CaelReader  [author] Apr 12, 2024 @ 5:39pm 
@ruin added to the next patch
Ruin Apr 12, 2024 @ 5:28pm 
@CaelReader can you add an exists check for the USA in the headlines_on_actions file (the line 17 limit).

I'm sure this is a niche issue that likely won't bother anyone, so it's too big a deal. Just something I noticed while doing some extreme testing for my potential mod pack.

Its throwing 2 errors
Error: Event target link 'c' returned an unset scope
Error: c:USA trigger [ Failed context switch ]

So I assume an initial exists check is all that's needed.
GoatQueerLovesPizza Apr 10, 2024 @ 9:41pm 
Nevermind, realized this mod doesn't work like that by checking the files
GoatQueerLovesPizza Apr 10, 2024 @ 9:32pm 
I have a question, since this doesn't modify any vanilla files, does that like mean it works with any mods? Does that mean that it will generate an headline based on that mod's events? Or are there like a list of various events that the mod shows depending on various triggers? Like does it procedurally make headlines?

CaelReader  [author] Mar 28, 2024 @ 2:19pm 
@Yohoho That's a good idea, I'll look into what kinds of script hooks I have for that stuff
󠀡󠀡 Mar 28, 2024 @ 1:54pm 
How about adding some headlines about internal affairs? For example:
-rapid price spike of certain good,
-radicalization of certain province,
-radicalization of certain group like aristocrats etc.,
-law changes and opinion about change "New workers protection law has passed. Check why capitalists hate it in latest issue of our newspaper!"
-mass poverty in certain province,
-mass unemployment in certain province
-very high price of food in certain province
-lack of labor in certain province
-very high mortality in certain province
-standard of living of certain group droping/increasing rapidly
Overall headlines about internal politics could be used to inform player about internal issues that aren't easly visible in spreadsheets
CaelReader  [author] Mar 19, 2024 @ 11:29am 
@kumquatwhat I've pushed an update that adds the Headlines into the notification settings, so they can be set as Toasts now.
CaelReader  [author] Mar 19, 2024 @ 11:10am 
@chrism I can't replicate this. Headlines don't appear for every war, only for wars involving at least one Great Power on both sides.
chrism Mar 18, 2024 @ 1:15am 
Hmm, unfortunately the mod doesn't seem to work anymore. After a few months working flawlessly there were suddenly no headlines anymore, albeit wars etc. kept on happening.

The setting in the game rules still shows 'All headlines will be shown'...
chrism Mar 17, 2024 @ 8:23am 
Many thanks for this very special mod. :-)
Besides SOIs I've always considered Newspaper Headlines the most important addition for old Vic2; I even helped writing some articles back then.
Maybe in time, will you be able to feed those messages in a sort of newspaper windows, like in Vic2? If not then not, many thanks anyway.
kumquatwhat Mar 14, 2024 @ 7:10pm 
Is there an option to turn the feed messages into toast pop-ups? I looked in the message settings and didn't see one but I'd much prefer that. But perhaps I'm just not seeing it? If that does not exist, can we get that option?
Chema_cagi Mar 14, 2024 @ 12:23pm 
Unfortunately, playing spanish version only brings script-like messages (type power_#gov_type_etc). Thanks for your time anyway
Chema_cagi Mar 13, 2024 @ 2:56am 
Great idea. Prized! TYVM
Xaendro Mar 8, 2024 @ 9:28am

okay cool
CaelReader  [author] Mar 2, 2024 @ 8:46pm 
@Unoriginal Name yes, victoria 3 allows achievements with all mods
Unoriginal Name Mar 2, 2024 @ 7:21pm 
Is this achievement compatible?
Pokesus Mar 1, 2024 @ 6:28am 
I loved this, i gave u a heart, i hope it also helps in the algorithm so it gets more recommended.
I really hope this mod gets more known, you did an awesome job, i really missed this feature from Victoria 2 to 3.
CaelReader  [author] Feb 9, 2024 @ 8:37am 
@qaz8area There is one for war initiation between great powers, I'll have to look into what the scripting has access to in terms of peace deals and such.
qaz8area Feb 9, 2024 @ 8:24am 
Maybe consider initiation and end of wars between great powers.
Oxley Feb 1, 2024 @ 3:50pm 
@CaelReader Ah I didn't know that sorry, that's a shame. There is no inherent need for every one to be a short story level of writing, if they are too long people will not read them. They seem to be mostly long enough already to let people know what is happening in the game world.
CaelReader  [author] Jan 31, 2024 @ 7:13pm 
@Oxley Vic3 currently does not support custom GUIs as far as I know. Best I could do is hack a custom event window into a newspaper, but it would also require 3x the writing for each entry.
CaelReader  [author] Jan 31, 2024 @ 7:13pm 
Oxley Jan 31, 2024 @ 6:02pm 
Can you not do this as an actual newspaper popup like in HoI IV?
Georg3mx Jan 31, 2024 @ 12:06am

CaelReader  [author] Jan 22, 2024 @ 3:24pm
