Minus 331,229 Oil?!?

[unmerged(21924)]

I've run into the dreaded "negative oil" bug before, and used F12 to right the situation, but this will kill my poor fingers. Can anyone tell me how to edit the save file to put the right amount of oil back in, or is there a command with F12 that lets me set the amount? I tried "oil 99999" without the quotes, but it just boosted me by 5,000. At that rate, I'll have to type "o-i-l-enter" until my hands fall asleep, then wake them up, then go until they fall asleep again!

Thanks,

Chris

PS-It happened when I took either Leopoldville or the easternmost VP province of Siam, not sure which.

In the F 12 console you can press the "up arrow" to repeat your last command.

cheers.

yeah the up arrow would be your best bit for increasing back to positive. Or you can go into your saved game and type in tag = (tag of country here) and then go down a bit till you reach oil and put it back to where it was before

I had minus DI oncee.

That happens to me all the time, at least in CORE it does. But it's WAD I think, to prevent Germany from doing to much diplomacy outside of events you know.

Well the thing is that it wasn't at the start up. I just influenced a nation and because of some reason I did it like ten times at the same time giving me minus 22 DI or something like that.
