Carthade said:Wow! So many bugs with the editor. But I got no problems with it. Do I get a bug if I edit the tech/model names?
CheaterEater said:The editor messes up your doomsdaytext file in your config folder. Keep a spare one around, and replace it every time you edit anything to keep problems to a minimum. Also, sometimes the editor will edit the surface_defense value instead of the ground_defense value, which causes problems for ground units. Those are the two big problems I've found so far.
Black_Shade said:I just had this bug happen to me as well. After reading this, i opened the file and found it was several thousand lines long, and it would probably take days to manually go through and readd every X, so i just tried adding the missing semi colon back in front of the HOI2 doomsday line (opener i believe). Replacing the semi colon worked and the game launched fine. i have not, however, tried to play a game yet, so those missing X's may cause some problems. This might work as a quick fix for those having problems, it was as simple as opening 1 file and adding 1 semi colon (doomsday--->config---> doomsdaytext) in notepad.
