Posting event desc in excel problem...

[Micah Goodman 2]

Can anyone describe to me how you post the actual event desc text for an event into the event text.csv file. I tried parcing the text into smaller groups and placing them into the correct cell's but I get a lot of wierdness. The cells change shape, wich I fixed but when I tried to post the next block of text in the B cell it worked but know when I try to post the next block in the C cell the text in the B cell seems to overlap it. Can someone explain step by step how to put text into this file?

Don't use excel to open the file. Use some text editor instead.

For event like this...

event = {
id = 3145041 # 462085
random = no
country = ITA

trigger = {
event = 3145040
}

name = EVT_3145041_NAME
desc = EVT_3145041_DESC
style = 0

date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
offset = 90
deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1999 }

action_a = {
name = ACTIONNAME3145041A
command = { type = industrial_modifier which = supplies value = 15 }
command = { type = surprise which = land value = 10 }
command = { type = counterattack value = 2 }
command = { type = ambush value = 2 }
command = { type = breakthrough value = 2 }
command = { type = assault value = 2 }
command = { type = max_organization which = land value = 10 }
command = { type = morale which = land value = 10 }
command = { type = dissent value = -5 }
}
}

If I used the note pad, where would I pust the corresponding text for the event name, text and actions?

First, use CODE tags to preserve intendation when posting any code. And open the event_text.csv with some text editing program and then just add the description you want after the event name. It's pretty self-explanatory to do, just check how the other event descriptions are written there.

Do you have a favorite text editing program that you would suggest?

EVT_3145041_NAME refers to something written in a config.csv file.
You can write the desc directly there replacing EVT_3145041_NAME by "blablabla" or write the desc in config/event_text.csv.

I just use simple notepad. It's just matter of getting used to text editing.

So after writting the info, you just cut and paste from notepad to the event.text file?
