dormant leaders

[Stahl-Opa]

Hi guys,

Maybe I just misunderstand something...

in the scenario.eug (example 1936.eug) there are some SPA leaders listes as "dormant" (DH Full)
I haven't checked it with spain, but I've added some Italian ministers there too. And ingame they are not dormant, I can choose them all, without any problem.

If I'm right that means that the "dormant_leaders = { }" in the .eug is broken. If I add these Lines to Italy.inc all the leaders are dormant like intended.

If this is right, the dormant leaders from the 1936.eug have to be moved into one of the .inc-files?!

Please correct me if there is a problem just with my files.

If you want a minister to be dormant it should be added to dormant_ministers = { ... } list, not to dormant_leaders one.

ah, sry, my fault, I've meant leaders of course.

I have added some ITA-leaders and it does not work.
Atm I have no time to test it, but I'm pretty sure that this line just work in the .inc and not in the .eug

Nope, it works, I just tested it.

The SPA leaders are indeed dormant. I also added some ministers and they became dormant too.
My best guess is that you used a minister which is on cabinet. In this case it doesn't work (the minister is loaded and in the cabinet) but it's the same whether you set it as dormant in .inc o .eug file.

This is impossible

I tested it again:

-Clean install of DH (steam), no mods, no changes, nothing. Full patched.

1. I've added Badoglio to "dormant_leaders", created for testing purposes a new italian leader (Dummy) and added this one too.

2. Both are ingame choosable without any problems. Not sleeping after all.

Again, I speak about leaders, not ministers (not tested yet).

Something is wrong here
I loosing my mind If it works on your installation of DH

There's a problem indeed.

Dormant leaders for existing countries defined in main scenario file are not set as dormant on new scenario start. They are set as dormant on game save/reload, when defined as dormant in country INC file or when their country is released (or after TAG change to their country). Those notes plus the fact that we do not define dormant leaders for existing countries in the main scenario file explain why this ancient bug was never noticed until your report.

Fixed for the next release.
