jdrou said:That happens when a file extension has no file type defined in Windows; I usually create a file type "Paradox game file" for .eug. Without doing that, if you modify the file and select "save" (Ctrl-S) instead of "save as" it should overwrite the old file without adding .txt. If you don't want to overwrite the old file you can try this: when the save dialog opens, right-click in the folder and create a new file with the extension you want to use (create-file-text document, then rename), then select that file to save to and no extension will be added to it.
Thanks for your reply jdrou. I already tried the 'save', 'save as' and 'create new file by right clicking' options, but they didn't work. After renaming the filename was 1936.eug and the type still said text document. You say that you create a new file type for .eug. Do you mean folder options-file types-advanced and then choose a new name for eug?
Anyway, I searched the internet for creating new file types and soon found 2 easy solutions for my problem. The first one is a tool called Tweak UI (microsoft downloads/powertoys and add-ins). With this tool you can change the menu that appears after right clicking and choosing 'new'. After installing click 'templates'. From here you can add and remove file types. To add the eug file type click 'create', navigate to a folder with an eug file, double click on the file, click OK. Now you can create new eug files.
The other solution: modify your eug file, choose 'save as' and place the name of the file you're going to save between " symbols. Now the type will be file and not text document. Rename the file (name.eug) and the type will change from file to eug.
So now I know how to save a modified eug file, but there still are problems:
* No matter what enddate I choose, the game always ends in 2199 (even when I use the original eug file). Is that normal?
* There are no scientist (there is another posting about this problem but no answer).
* There are postings from people having trouble with liberating nations and leaders. Does that mean that you always have to change more files when you use the no time limit mod? If yes, is there a list of all the files that must be modified?
I hope you (or someone else) can help me with this problems.
