Yeah. I must really suck cause I feel like I am stumbling around like a sick horse.

[Fogsight]

I am assuming on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being creating the game what I am about to do is a 1?

On a scale 1 to 10 in this case is about < 0.1. You just shuffling already organized data around. If I were to create something even resembling this game on the simplest engine I know, Unity, I would spend at least few month just coding it. And even more on optimizing the code and bug hunting.

[LeonTrotsky]

Lol. I think I am getting close. There just aren't any good guides. Everything I've read just isn't helping me. So I just backed up my game and am experimenting. Trying to learn how to create regions. Once I start mastering it my overall plan is to create an alternate 1949 where Nazi Germany won, but didn't fully take the USSR.

[Fogsight]

You are limited to existing regions here, but you have freedom to reorganize them, take a look at Modern World Scenario by Fistalis you can learn how he does that.

Simulating Germany almost taking USSR could be done by setting bad relations for them and giving Germany additional units at the start of the game with limited economy, so it will have units for a big push, but not enough to repair them. Eventually USSR will push them back.

Also this can be achieved with events, wiki has details.

[LeonTrotsky]

Well I just screwed something up.... All my names of countries disappeared from every game type.

[Fogsight]

Always create backups, use something like Notepad ++ to compare with original to spot mistakes with format.

Also take note what Encoding files use, for example DEFAULT.UNIT uses ANSI and if you save as unicode game won't eat it and caching will interrupt prematurely, you can guess how I know that...

Btw you can edit UNIT file with something like open office calc, just paste the whole thing(I've had errors trying to open straight up), then save as text, then remove all extra " along with original existed it will work fine.

[LeonTrotsky]

Sweeet. Haha, I fixed my mistake with killing all the names on whatever game type. I keep getting better. I'm using the US Crisis mod files and Modern World files as reference as well as the orig Cold War files.

[LeonTrotsky]

I don't even really care about giving them Units yet. I am still working on making them playable. I have it to where no nation shows up in my scenario menu. I know I am close though. I just have to figure out how to make them playable...

[LeonTrotsky]

This is how far I am so far. Everytime I start it sends me back to main menu. But I'm making progress....

Great idea!!

[NRose97]

Btw, I'm not sure if this an error, or if this is how you meant to have it. When I go to launch the custom scenario, it says Quebec has a population of something around 2 million, and Canada only has a population of around 7 million. Shouldn't the population of Canada be higher then that?

[LeonTrotsky]

I don't think so. Quebec takes a nice chunk of population. The game told me how much to put in. So I'll double check but I think it's right.... Though I do get what your saying.

[NRose97]

You can just look at what the population of Canada was before you added Quebec, and this mod... Then subtract the population of Quebec from the population of Canada in the regular campaign.

[LeonTrotsky]

Right. I know it doesn't add up. But the game was the one who set the population for the mod. I'm not sure why it adds up.
