Hi! I'm trying to mod the starting leaders experience. I have modified the column "experience" in the "country.csv" file, but when I run the game nothing changes :( Anyone can help me?
 
You need to modify the leaders.csv in DH/Mods/DHFull/db/leaders

eg in the german CSV:
Abraham;1;GER;1943;1944;1990;1990;3;5;0;2;0;5;0;L1;1943;1960;1999;x

Red is experience (values: 0-9)
Yellow is skill (values: 0-9)
Green is the maxiumum skill this leader can possibly reach (1-9 AFAIK)

Thanks bestmajor, I have already done what you say but nothing changes :( When I did the test I changed experiece value to 50 in one leader. Probably, the problem is that as you say the value must be between 0 and 9. I'll try again.
 
I think that 1 value in the CSV is equivalent to 15 exp points ingame. Make sure you mod the correct CSV (that is, Darkest Hour Full, not light).


EDIT: I found this very useful when modding the RSI leaders like FM Rodolfo Graziani and others who previoulsy fought for ITA but do have an entry in the RSI file as well. Some of them return with an "Old Guard" trait, but with some more exp points. Same for the DFR leaders who fought in WW2.
 
I only use simple notepad. Most other modders use notepad++, but i'm old guard :D.

I see a possibility that you modified the wrong .csv file? (eg DH light instead of DH full?)
Try to rule this out by changing the name of one of the leaders (just add another letter).

Thanks a lot, but it don't works :( I have done what you said, with excel and notepad, the name of the general changes but experience not. Very strange :confused:
 
It does not work because it seems to be a bug, LOL. I modified this very often in AoD where it worked fine, but it does NOT work in DH.
I just tried to modify a leader this way and - you're right - no change.
Sorry.
 
Thanks again, I knew this tool, as you say is useful. I have tried with it, but experience value still not changes. It has no sense :confused:
D'oh! What a fail... In this case I suppose that must be a bug in the files or something similar.
