Quick bit of help / minister problems

[unmerged(45491)]

Was just playing today and noticed that all of my foreign IC ministers (prince of terror, effecient sociopath, compassionate gentleman) all display negative modifiers to foreign ic, and all actually reduce my foreign ic output.

I checked the Minister effects file and everything looks correct, ie:

52_PERSONALITY_PRINCE_OF_TERROR_ foreign IC +15%. CG need +10%.

Also in the minister modifiers file it shows:

# modifies foreign IC
foreign_ic_mod = additive


but in game it shows as -15% and causes me to lose foreign ic.

I've dabbled a bit and attempted to switch some values around in the minister effects file, but noticed that none of the changes i make in there apply in the game whatsoever (on fresh restart of application / game after change is implemented). Even tried making the +10% Ic guy into a +30% Ic but there was no effect whatsoever in game, leading me to believe that to change the minister files i'll need to look elsewhere, but where, and how?

I do have the AoD version of the China improvement pack installed but they make no changes to any of the minister files except for Nat Chi, but i cant see how this would effect things.

1) What version are you running?

2) Are you using Vista/Win7 with AoD in the C drive/main drive "Program Files" directory?

This was a known problem with v.1.02, and Vista/Win7 keep copies of some game files outside the Program Files folder if you modify them as a user.

Hi, I have 1.04 HTSC.

Someone in the other forum directed me to the minister_modifiers.txt where the values were apparently reversed due to a bug

text is as folows:

#this value is reversed due to bug

but for some reason in my game I never had an issue, but now do, i changed the values back to positive from negative and the issue was resolved.

I'm running windows vista.

Your problem is that the reverse modefiuer was fixed in 1.04... so the hotfix you used is actually causing it now
