KNOWN BUG: Add Division producing same name for Motorized

Add Division producing same name for Motorized

When producing motorized divisions, once the que gets to 29. Waffen-Gren.-Div.-d.-SS (italienische)...that's the only name given to any subsequent divisions. I've not found this with any other units but motorized. I'm using HOI 1.05b.

Possible Solution?

After posting my previous message, an idea came to mind. I went back into the file and abbreviated the (Italienische) to (Ital.)...problem apparently solved! Of course, the repeated name bug reoccured on the very next unit name, 30. Waffen-Gren.-Div.-d.-SS (weissruthenische), which is another long one.

My guess is that either the 1.05 patch or the 1.05b tweak pack have a problem with those very long unit names, because I never saw that on earlier patches. For now, I'd suggest doing like I did and going into the unitname subfile in the db file and just shorting the unit name. Now I've just gotta find out the German abbreviation of 'weissruthenische'!

I've seen this since at least 1.04, and on basically every single unit type in the game. It doesnt bother me much, since I seldom look at the unit names, I generally only look at the name of the army they are in. Would be nice if they could fix this though.

The only reason I noticed was because I frequently change the individual unit names in the file, to correspond to what sources I use indicate are the correct designations. When I do that, I then check to see if it comes up properly on both the production and game screens.

When this happened, I thought it may have something to do with the changes I'd made, so I replaced the altered file with the backup of the original. I still got the "bug" on the motorized units, but nowhere else. After the first post, I put back the altered file and checked some other units with long names and got the same result, so I just shortened the names and all was fine in both copies of the file.

I hadn't ran into a problem with the length of the name before installing 1.05 and 1.05b (I'd last edited or played with 1.04), so I'm guessing it has something to do with them.

My unitnames.csv doesn't cause this problem... I'll make sure it's in next update

Don't have my ref. materials handy at the moment, but I think they eventually changed the name to 'Ukrainische' - so (Ukr.). Easier to type

I think that was the case yes
