Province.csv & how I broke Aberration

[unmerged(19936)]

All I wanted to do was to use the province.csv that came with AGCEEP with Aberration. So I copied it from my AGCEEP (AGCEEP/db) folder, and was about to paste it into the Aberration folder (Aberration/db) when I saw that there was no province.csv in Aberration at all. I pasted it there anyway, and loaded up the game. It loads to the main menu fine, but when I try and load a save game, it gets almost done but crashes as soon as I get to the 'initialize script' part. This is odd, so I remove province.csv from Aberration completely, and then, stupidly, I copy it to the main EU2 folder (EU2/db) overwriting the existing province.csv, since I assume that's where Aberration looks to get all that information. I load up Aberration again and it crashes in the exact same spot, for all my save files. I then load up a game of AGCEEP and it works fine, ditto vanilla EU2.

It seems that changing the province.csv has messed me up. So I have two questions, really. 1) Could someone send me a copy of province.csv (from the latest version of the game, please) and 2) I basically want to change the goods some provinces produce. Is it at all possible to do this for Aberration?

Thanks

Sure, both from the province.csv or the provs file in the AGC folder.

But you can´t change the province.csv and load a savegame!

IIRC AGCEEP uses a quite old version of province.csv (since it has been changed sometime in the beta patches, I guess it's from 1.07 or so).
That simply isn't compatible where 1.08 is expected. It wouldn't surprise me if AGCEEP didn't run with 1.08 province.csv.

That's another feature of a democracy run mod, I guess.

I really hope they will get somewhere somewhen.

Getting normal province.csv back is likely easiest by reinstalling patch 1.08 then.

Why can't I change the province.csv and load a savegame? I've modified it before and loaded a save game to no ill-effect. And AGCEEP and vanilla EU2 still load fine even though I've changed the province.csv, only Aberration has stopped working.

the problem is probably a navy in a port that doesn't exist in your new province.csv. i had this problem many a time.

That sounds possible. I'm not sure what ports are added/removed in AGCEEP versus vanilla.

I reinstalled 1.08 as Byakhiam suggested, but then I got a bunch of different errors when trying to open my save again. Instead of messing with that anymore, I just started a new game and threw away the two I had been working on, and now it's working again. I didn't lose too much progress as I had just started those games.
