Does such a thing exist, for Victoria: Revolutions? And if so, for which scenarios/mods does it work? :)
 
I believe you have to use the EU2 one. Do a quick search in the forums of FtG or Victoria. This question was already brought up.
 
Problem is the eu2 one converts eug files, but the for the glory file is an eeg...
 
I got it now, the problem was that i was using an ancient version of notepad that couldnt save as an eug ;)

Open cmd.exe, cd to directory, and

$ mv $FILE.eeg $FILE.eug

Incidentally, Notepad isn't the only text editor--you could always get a different one (like Notepad++ or Emacs) if Notepad isn't working out for you.

Edit the name file directly in the folder.

The problem there is that the majority of newer Windows systems hide the file extension by default. That can be disabled, but finding the setting is probably more difficult than renaming the file.
 
using Notepad may result in files named FILE.txt.eug :rolleyes: while you don't have this problem with such a text editor as PsPad (freeware) that I regularly use for editing my saves or .csv files

I'd still recommend it though- lots of malware tries to trick people by using Word or Notepad icons and carrying names like 'reallycool.doc.exe'. Windows hides the 'exe', so you can be mislead into clicking the "Word" file and now your computer's being used by a gang of Bulgarians to send me spam.

(and second the mention of notepad++; it's hugely better than plain notepad)
