Problems Adding Random Leader Names for Armenia

[Secret Master]

After exporting a CK game as Armenia to EUII, and then turning around and exporting that to Victoria: Revoltuions, I was surprised to find that Armenia has no random leader names. All of their generals and admirals are either "Leader 1" or "Leader 2". I browsed the file with the random leader names and saw that the ARM tag has no names. So, I filled in a few in the same format as the other entries; however, the random leaders did not change. Even new generals kept using the same Leader 1 or Leader 2.

Before I modified the file, it looked like this

ARG;Rodríguez
ARG;Rojas
ARG;Romero
ARG;Sáenz
ARG;Sosa
ARG;Soto
ARG;Torres
ARG;Vega
AST;Argent
AST;Bates
AST;Biddlecombe
AST;Black
AST;Bracegirdle
AST;Brownlow
AST;Burford

After I inserted the leader names, it looked like this:

ARG;Rojas
ARG;Romero
ARG;Sáenz
ARG;Sosa
ARG;Soto
ARG;Torres
ARG;Vega
ARM;Krikorian
ARM;Paelian
ARM;Boghosian
ARM;Altoonian
AST;Argent
AST;Bates
AST;Biddlecombe
AST;Black

The file seems to have no other notation at the beginning or the end. What am I doing wrong? By the way, I know I am using the correct tag (ARM) because Armenia's proper parties are in the game. So, it cannot be a case of misplaced tag.

Did you restart the game? Sometimes people forget to do that.

 

[Secret Master]

Yes. I restarted the entire scenario. I also started a regular GC as Russia, released Armenia as a satellite, restarted as them, and had the same problem.

Did you edit it in WordPad?

 

[Secret Master]

I edited it in NotePad, just as I do for all Paradox modding stuff. Don't tell me I should use Excel to edit this file...

No. On the contrary. I know you are a veteran modder, but I just wanted to make sure you hadn´t commited a common beginner´s mistake of editing it in excel.

Ah, ok. You had me scared for a minute.

Hmmm... I still have no ideas what is wrong. I've been able to write and debug three events since I first posted this problem and I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Would someone be willing to copy and paste the ARM random leader names into their copy of RandomLeaders as a sort of control test?

have you ever worked with Notepad++ ? i prefer it than the plain Wordpad. also another solution is that you mod a working file and paste it on to the one not working.

Need to modify country.csv when adding leaders to randomleaders.csv for countries that have none. See http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120579

You might also be interested in Phillip V/Jayavarman's additional random leaders that are linked to in that thread.

Ahhh, it makes much more sense now. I should have figured that country.csv would be involved at some point. Thanks jdrou!
