Sorry to bother you all again with my little modding problems :)

I am trying to create an alt-history scenario, and part of that involves restauring French monarchy. So I made a backup of the ministers_fra.csv file and replaced with my own version. The ruling cabinet is different. One entirely new character (with picture) was added, reusing an existing character ID, deleted from the same file. One character was renamed, but otherwise left unchanged. When loading the scenario, I get a "corrupted ministers_fra.csv" error, but the ministers do get loaded correctly.

I would like to know what could be causing the "corruption". Is it that the character id's are no longer perfectly consecutive? Is it that I have one non-democratic (PA) character in an otherwise democratic (SC) cabinet? Any blatant mistakes?


Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm not sure, but I don't think that NA is an acceptable pool-value for ministers that are not part of the ruling cabinet. Try to set them as 36 instead.

Hallsten, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, it seems that was not it (or at least, not just that). I have changed all those NA to 36 and still I get the "ministers_fra.csv corrupted" error. Strangely, the game seems to function properly, with my custom ministers and all. Even the entirely new character is working fine, complete with picture...

Ok, first of all make sure that the new leaders don't use any taken IDs.
Also, see if the game tells you on which row in the file the error exists.
You can also try to start with just the ruling cabines in the file, if the game loads add ten or so rows until the game doesn't load. Then you'll at least know where the error is and it might make it easier to pipoint exactly what's wrong.
