Province editing

[Jamie550]

NOTE: Problem has been fixed

In province.csv, what textstrings do these map to?

Areas:
Georgien

None of the above conform to the standard [AREA_/REGION_/SEAREGION_]string.Replace(' ','_').Replace('-','_').ToUpper()

And to Johan if he reads this: Why not just use standard textstrings in province.csv, instead of forcing me to convert them?, so instead of "Southeast US" use "AREA_SOUTHEAST_US" or just "SOUTHEAST_US"?

They appear to be identical to the string definitions in config/world_names.csv stripped of any (SEA)?AREA or (SEA)?REGION and any _.

 

[Jamie550]

Thanks, but some I still can't find. The first post has been updated.

Grrr, how annoying...
The Canadian regions are in extra_text.csv, lines 36-38. It wouldn't suprise me if some of the areas are in there somewhere too.

 

[Jamie550]

Thanks

However, there is one more: Georgien

Grep!

 

[Jamie550]

No luck?

Try searching for a Grep tool for Windows on SourceForge.
AstroGrep seems to work fine.

Don't understand what you're looking for.

The CSV entry for the Georgien area? If yes, it's the same as Georgia in the United Staates, "AREA_GEORGIA", since someone at Paradox dreamed while programming the EXE and assigned the name twice.

 

[Jamie550]

Yes, that is what I was looking for.

What if you wanted to change one of the area's names?

Yes, you can do that...
You can't change the string name (AREA_GEORGIA) but can change the name that would be displayed on the map.

1) Go to the config folder
2) Make a backup of world_names.csv
3) Open world_names.csv
4) Search for the name you want to change
5) Make the change you want.
6) Test

I meant: What if I wanted to change Georgien to something else, but keep the state of Georgia as the same.

You can, but I think the orignial poster is incorrect...

AREA_GEORGIA is the (US) State of Georgia
AREA_GEORGIEN should be the (Former Soviet) Republic of Georgia

 

[Jamie550]

OK, but where is AREA_GEORGIEN then? I've looked in the config files and can't find it.

 

[ADukes]

AREA_GEORGIEN should be the (Former Soviet) Republic of Georgia

AREA_GEORGIEN doesn't exist in the game EXE, it's called AREA_GEORGIA too.

AREA_FUJIAN.AREA_GABES..AREA_GANSU..[b]AREA_GEORGIA....AREA_GEORGIA[/b]....AREA_GOETALAND..AREA_GOLD_COAST

If you know how to use a HexEditor you can change it.
