Editing save game to add cores

[unmerged(267094)]

Something weird happened in my German game with me having ended up going to war with Czechoslovakia and subsequently Poland when I tried to claim the Sudetenland; I defeated them both: peace with Czechoslovakia in which I asked only for my cores, annexation of Poland. Later the time came for me to claim Memel from Lithuania but the event did not trigger. I tried firing it manually several times to no avail.

So I went to war with Lithuania, sued for peace with them on the condition that they cede Memel, and afterward annexed Estonia and Latvia, who went to war on their behalf. Now that I have it in my possession I want to know how I can edit my save file in order to make it a national province before I continue with my game.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Open your save file (.eug, not .eug.cfg) with Notepad or preferably Notepad++ (it does not choke with larger files). Finding the nationalprovinces entry for Germany can be hard in huge save files, in your case the easiest route would be searching a string that contains

300 301 302

(IDs of Berlin, Stettin and Stralsund, you most likely still own these so I used them to find the correct lines fast.)

Province ID of Memel is 206, add that number somewhere inside the brackets in nationalprovinces = { entry. Example:

nationalprovinces =   { 66 67 [COLOR="Red"]206 [/COLOR]74 75 76 80 81 82 83
