Save Game Editing

[Legosim]

I have a question about save file editing. I released Hungary, Croatia, and Slovakia as satellites after taking out Austria. I was wondering how, (what lines to edit, where to find them in the .txt file) you can remove satellite status. I don't want the aforementioned countries to be my satellites.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Search for the word globaldata in the save file. It's located very near the top of the save file. Alliances and treaties are stored just below that, and I would assume satellite info would be there too.

Edit: never mind, better info below

Satellite status is located in the "country = {" section of the satellite. Example: if Mysore is satellite of Great Britain, somewhere in the save it will say:

country = {
  tag = MYS
  (...)
  satellite = "ENG"
  (...)
}

So in your case a search for 'satellite = "AUS"' would find your satellites.
