A hypothetical question...

[Jamie550]

First, you are a modder for HOI2DD or HOI2DDA.

One day, your sibling/spouse/child/parent/friend comes in and opens your HoI files. They notice the teams folder, the ministers folder, and the leaders folder. They open the csv files and notice the 3-letter country tags. They decide to help by renaming all the files to XXX.csv, where XXX is the tag.

You currently use an editor, so the names of the files are probably irrevelant to you.

Would you care that all the files have been changed to the format XXX.csv?

I'm not sure to get it.
Did you have such problems at home ?
If you just need to rename the files but can't, send them to me and i'll do it for you.

 

[Jamie550]

What I mean is: Would you care if your team, leader, and minister files were all changed to XXX.csv, assuming that you are using an editor for modding?

 

[Fernando Torres]

You mean for example :
ministers_fra.csv to FRA.csv ?

Then i don't think it'll work.

 

[Jamie550]

It works, I tested it.

My question is would you care if it happened to your files?

 

[Fernando Torres]

If it works, there's no problem.

Changing anything in HOI from small caps to large caps either or doesn't seem to matter at all.

However, my computer room has a 'locked door' and only I have the key.

But normally files are like teams_aug.csv, leaders_usa.csv, and commiechina.csv. Do you personally care if you used an editor and it changed everything to XXX.csv?

Not if your editor comes with a warning message.
Then again, I find plain text easier to work with than strange editors.

Strange editor?

BTW when did I ever mention that I was discussing my editor? I simply asked a hypothetical question about any editor doing such a thing.

tbh its probably easier because then when you're in the folder you can find the file you need by pressing the relevant letter (eg, I for INO or E for ENG) rather than having to actually look because each file starts with m, or l, or wahtever.
