Scenario making!?

[unmerged(7347)]

Im trying to build a scenario but I cant change my text.cvs file. What version of Excel do I have to have for that or can I change the file some other way?

You must not open it in excel. Open it in Wordpad, then everything should go smooth. Press "shift + right-click" and choose "open in"("åpna i" in swedish I think) and choose to open it in wordpad.

If we are talking about making scenarios... Can you tell me mord how can I change a major country into one that I could anex?

 

[unmerged(7924)]

AFAIK you can only do that in a scenario (before you start).
I know how do do the country not playable in a savegame.
I played prussia and allied with russia. together we took P-L, and I couldn't annex. I tried to Edit it so I could, but it didn't work.

So can you tell me how to do this in the beginning?

See if this works:

PS! You should make a backup first.
1. Open the scenario in wordpad.
2. It should look like this on the top:
HAB = {
picture = "scenarios\data\HAB1617.bmp"
missioncountry = "HAB_TYW_MISSDESC"
missiontactics = "HAB_TYW_MISSTACT"
countrydifficulty = x
countryeconomy = x
countrymilitary = x
countrydiplomacy = x
missiontype = x
numcities = x
numcolonies = x
numtradingposts = x
numgold = x
}
SWE = {
picture = "scenarios\data\SWE1617.bmp"
missioncountry = "SWE_TYW_MISSDESC"
missiontactics = "SWE_TYW_MISSTACT"
countrydifficulty = x
countryeconomy = x
countrymilitary = x
countrydiplomacy = x
missiontype = x
numcities = x
numcolonies = x
numtradingposts = x
numgold = x
}
FRA = {
picture = "scenarios\data\FRA1617.bmp"
missioncountry = "FRA_TYW_MISSDESC"
missiontactics = "FRA_TYW_MISSTACT"
countrydifficulty = x
countryeconomy = x
countrymilitary = x
countrydiplomacy = x
missiontype = x
numcities = x
numcolonies = x
numtradingposts = x
numgold = x
}
SPA = {
picture = "scenarios\data\SPA1617.bmp"
missioncountry = "SPA_TYW_MISSDESC"
missiontactics = "SPA_TYW_MISSTACT"
countrydifficulty = x
countryeconomy = x
countrymilitary = x
countrydiplomacy = x
missiontype = x
numcities = x
numcolonies = x
numtradingposts = x
numgold = x
}
HOL = {
picture = "scenarios\data\HOL1617.bmp"
missioncountry = "HOL_TYW_MISSDESC"
missiontactics = "HOL_TYW_MISSTACT"
countrydifficulty = x
countryeconomy = x
countrymilitary = x
countrydiplomacy = x
missiontype = x
numcities = x
numcolonies = x
numtradingposts = x
numgold = x
}
}
3. As you see in this scenario, Austria, Sweden, France, Spain and Holland are playable. Delete the "lines" of the country you want to make annexable.
Like this:
HAB = {
picture = "scenarios\data\HAB1617.bmp"
missioncountry = "HAB_TYW_MISSDESC"
missiontactics = "HAB_TYW_MISSTACT"
countrydifficulty = x
countryeconomy = x
countrymilitary = x
countrydiplomacy = x
missiontype = x
numcities = x
numcolonies = x
numtradingposts = x
numgold = x
}
SWE = {
picture = "scenarios\data\SWE1617.bmp"
missioncountry = "SWE_TYW_MISSDESC"
missiontactics = "SWE_TYW_MISSTACT"
countrydifficulty = x
countryeconomy = x
countrymilitary = x
countrydiplomacy = x
missiontype = x
numcities = x
numcolonies = x
numtradingposts = x
numgold = x
}
SPA = {
picture = "scenarios\data\SPA1617.bmp"
missioncountry = "SPA_TYW_MISSDESC"
missiontactics = "SPA_TYW_MISSTACT"
countrydifficulty = x
countryeconomy = x
countrymilitary = x
countrydiplomacy = x
missiontype = x
numcities = x
numcolonies = x
numtradingposts = x
numgold = x
}
HOL = {
picture = "scenarios\data\HOL1617.bmp"
missioncountry = "HOL_TYW_MISSDESC"
missiontactics = "HOL_TYW_MISSTACT"
countrydifficulty = x
countryeconomy = x
countrymilitary = x
countrydiplomacy = x
missiontype = x
numcities = x
numcolonies = x
numtradingposts = x
numgold = x
}
}

Here you can see that I deleted FRA (france) and all the lines under it. Make sure that "}" comes between the new "lines" (Sweden and Spain here)

Now everything should work fine.

Thanks, but does it mean that I won't be able to play France then?

 

[unmerged(7924)]

Yep.
But you can do it to whatever country you want OC

IIRC you change 'major = yes' to 'major = no'

 

[unmerged(7924)]

Do you know where you'll find that option? (wich line or something)

It's in the country definition.
