Problems with csv files

[Ibarrategui]

when I'm changing some csv.files (ministers), I can save the files, but, the game don't take care of the changes I've did.
example: i've implement some correct new french ministers (for the leftwing government of 1936 and a lot of events I've created for the french pre-war period) and when I play, I see that France have no minister, no head of governement, no head of state...

The game recognize the original file minister_fra.csv, but, when I erase it with a new save, the game considers that the new file don't exist...

Another problem: Vichy France has a minister file but it don't work and, when I play with Vichy, the regime has no government. Why?

Could u help me please?

Since no one has answered I will give it a try.

It is not clear to me whether you are saving the new file as ministers_fra.csv or not. This must be the new file's name.

If you are using the proper name, what are you using to edit the file? A text editor or Excel ? In Excel, you must make sure that the csv is saved using ; (semi-colon) as the list seperator not , (comma). In Windows98 that can be found at Settings-Control Panel- Regional Settings-Number (List Seperator).

Do you edit those .csv-files with Excel? If you do, that is probably your problem. Edit them with Notepad or Wordpad instead.

Thanks

I've edited those files with excel, that could be the source of my problems...

Which editor can I use for a good edition?

The game can't recognize a notepad file for minister, isn't it?

Just edit the .csv-files with Notepad, don't save it as .txt.

one important thing, save games has all the info IN it, so, to see your changes, you MUST start a new game.

when Vichy is created, you let the day end?
the minister + leaders are updated at the end of the day, so if you paused and saved and reload as Vichy in the exact moment Vichy was created, you will not have any leaders/ministers.
The same happens with Nationalist Spain.

I wish I knew that when I played Rep Spain->Nat Spain back in v1.02. I had to edit the savegame to give myself leaders.

Thanks for Vichy.

With notepad, how can I save the data of ministers in .csv (in my notepad, i've not found the way to save in .csv)??

My events are good (I've corrected them) but I need some new ministers, head of state for the alternative solutions I've created.
Other problem: Those events simulates the french elections of 1936 and the game automatically put an other event to chose right or left in the elections (I want to delete this automatic event of election, because of the new events I've created...).

Just change the .txt extension to .csv after you saved the file. But I don't get your problem, because when I open my .csv-files in notepad, and then press save, they get saved as .csv and not .txt.
