v1.2.1 [3d5f] Broken descriptor.mod file for mod users

[jackda]

I have noticed that because AS players never managed to get exactly the files we have uploaded (Steam Workshop) as mod developers.

- I did a full reinstall, and subscribed to the mod myself, to get the same files mod users have.
- Ran the game in debug mod.
- After analyse, I have to say that the 1.2 patch has broken the descriptor.mod file. The game now totally ignore our replace_path commands in it. It leads to a complete mess : instead of replacing the vanilla files with ours it is now mixing both !

As mod developers, we are not using the same descriptor.mod file, actually this file is renamed/transformed during the upload process. That's why we don't have the same result (basically our game is "bug free", unlike mod user's one).

Totally agree, got the same issue here.
I guess the only real solution is to use the exact names as the game uses (eg, like renaming all sector names as they are in vanilla)

Of course, but when we have started four months ago to fix some state names and to redistribute some provinces in them, the only solution was to use the existing replace_path command. People can't mod if commands come and go between each patch.

True, but for now it's the only solution unfortunately :s

Indeed, but it would be nice if a dev could confirm this will be be fixed with the next patch. I'm sure they can understand why we can't provide a save for this kind of bug.
