[1.11] Community Mod Framework

The Community Mod Framework is a utility mod that aims to improve mod inter-operability while giving modders tools for GUI, Political Movements, Parties and mod detection. This framework makes several changes to GUI files, political movements, and parties. While generally scripted for compatibility, it will collide with other mods that touch these files.

This framework is structured to be load order agnostic by using Victoria 3's file loading behavior, but it is good practice to place this mod before/above any other mods in your mod loader.

• Expanded Building Grid Compatch

This part of the framework intends to deconflict mods that require GUI changes which inherently lead to incompatibilities.

This part of the framework intends to provide helper functions to modders that by default are not part of the game.

• Simple Structs to manage Variables (Credit to Bahmut)
  
• Unified Keybind configuration to allow multiple mods to define Keybinds (Credit to Lord R)
  
• Ability to block randomly-generated heirs (Credit to 1230james)
  
• Ability to block Country Formation notifications (Credit to Alexedishi)
  
• Community Mod triggers to detect other active mods
  
• Framework for running weekly events without a Journal Entry (Credit to Dingbat32 and LordR)
  
• Logical Nor, Nand, and Xor GUI script macros (Credit to CaesarVincens)

• Shared Party definition to deconflict mods that change base game parties
  
• Shared Political Movement to deconflict mods that change base game parties

These triggers allow mods to detect each other. This does not automatically make mods compatible, but rather is a tool to allow modders to build script around the presence of other mods.
