I have already been with this question to the modification forum, but no avail, none seems to have a clue why my self-made countries end up the way they do. To simplify it, whenever i modify anything that has something to do with the '.csv' files in the 'localisation' folder, every event, country, trait etc. lose their proper names.
For instance: I make the country called 'Saguntum'. It's 3 character tag is XX1. Now, i fill in everything needed for the country to work properly, from common and history to flags and localisation. I have asked a friend who can make countries perfectly, and he sees nothing wrong with my 'creations'.
Now, i start the game. My country, Saguntum, is called XX1 in the game. Macedonia becomes MAC, Carthage becomes CAR.
Same goes for events, i add a new event that works and all, but all other events end up with their code names, EVTNAME7001 is an example for how they look.
As far as i understand, i experience problems with the .csv files. If anyone who have had this problem earlier could point out how to solve it, i would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Moving to general Rome forum, as it's clearly not a bug.

How are you editing .csv files? If you use Excel or similar, that will cause a problem. You need to use a plain text editor like Notepad.

I do use excel, had no idea it didn't work editing .csv files with it. If i get it right i have to copy the countries.csv file, edit the name to countries.txt, then put in my country, and then edit it back to countries.csv? Why do these things hace to be so complicated? >.<

edit: works perfectly, thanks alot for the advice.
