BUG: NEW: FIXED: new HEL random leader names not available

[miloc]

From the EU2 beta patches - thread:

"12th of April 2005
________________________________________
…
- Added in about 30 leaders for HEL (Switzerland)
- … "

I recently upgraded from 1.08 to 1.08beta (21stApr2005). Then I fired up a grand campaign with HEL to see if the new army random leader names are used. They aren’t, even though they are newly listed in EU2/DB/random leaders–file (at the end). Maybe something went wrong when I installed the patch? Could someone check if the names are correctly loaded? (but Karlstadt, Gotha, Wuppertal, Schweinfurth, Siegen, Hagen etc. are the old names; bug?)


Addition: I fumbled about a little in the EU2/DB file just following my intuition and found another random leader-file in EU2/DB/Leaders with no HEL-random-leader names. I then inserted HEL and a name into this file. I also changed “leader language” from HEI to HEL in EU2/DB/countries and started another grand campaign as HEL. The new name appeared. Now I am a bit confused... :wacko:

The Helvetian names were accidently not included (an oversight I believe)

Yep, looks like I put the updated file in the wrong dir. Thx. It will be in the unofficial updates thread some time soon. For now you can just move the file from the DB dir to the Leaders one.

Nice! Thanks…(...and just in case: I suppose you are aware that inserting the names into the correct randomleader file alone won't do; it is also necessary to change line 30 / column E in the EU2/DB/country file from HEI to HEL...).

I had forgotten that too! All fixed now, thx.
