Apr 21: Emperor election popups and logs.

[Nikolai II]

Starting Napoleons Ambition displayed 'The HRE has elected Austria of Austria as emperor', so there might be a %n error of some sort?

Might be a scenario error too, since there probably was an emperor already elected in 1795?

The only scenarios with pre-defined Emperors are 1419 and 1700; the others have to work it all out for themselves.

The relevant code in text.csv appears to be:

EMPEROR_SETUP;When a new emperor has been elected;;;;;;;;;;5623
EMPEROR_HEADER;Our Governor reports%s;;;;;;;;;;5624
EMPEROR_1;New Emperor elected;;;;;;;;;;5625
EMPEROR_2;%t, the electorates of the Holy Roman Empire have elected;;;;;;;;;;5626
EMPEROR_3;%s;;;;;;;;;;5627
EMPEROR_4;of;;;;;;;;;;5628
EMPEROR_5;%s;;;;;;;;;;5629
EMPEROR_6;as emperor.;;;;;;;;;;5630

EMPEROR_LOG;The Holy Roman Empire has elected %s of %s as emperor..;;;;;;;;;;5631
EMPEROR_BTN1;OK;;;;;;;;;;5632
EMPEROR_BTN2;Goto;;;;;;;;;;5633

So my guess is the first set of lines are used in a normal election, and work because the two "%s" variables are on different lines. The second set are perhaps used when there is no Emperor and as there is "%s" twice in one line obviously the same value appears in both.

Unless less someone here knows a lot more about these variables than me we'll probably need to go to the code to work out what it should be. Meanwhile a pretty good fix would be to define the Emperor at the start of each other scenario; if anyone wants to research that be my guest!

1492: Frederick III of Austria
1617: Matthias of Austria
1773: Francis I of Lorraine
1792: Francis II of Tuscany

Hope this helps.

It does, assuming it's the same HRE in 1795 as 1792. Thanks!
