I am making a mod and thought I would replace the old descriptions with some I wrote. The mod is of course in the Mods folder of darkest hour. When I start the game the descriptions revert to the old ones of the 1936 scenraio, which are (now) located not in my custom mods folder but in the regular darkest hour folder. How can I get my descriptions to show up?

CHI_DESC;Asia emerged from World War Two victorious but in ruination. As the world turned to nuclear conflict radical groups in China and Japan began to stage mass demonstrations and then began to coup governments. One by one the governments of China Japan and South-East Asia began to fall victim to a radical and violent spiritual movement called 'Obliteration of the Self'. When the global war spread to Asia the newly formed governments unified to stay alive into what is now called 'Eastasia' in Newspeak. Hampered by its territorial inadequacy it must struggle to stay in existance in this eternal struggle. Can Eastasia's huge poputaion bring it to victory? Will its indominatable will ultimately triumph? Only time will tell.
ENG_DESC;Oceania was called both Great Britain and the United States some time ago but now these are just names. The countries in the wake of Eurasian attacks have merged and come to possess the former British empire North America and South America. Run from an all-pervasive government in 'Airstrip One' which was once Britain the state rules with an iron fist over every aspect of civilian lives. The goal of the privaliged beings who run the superpower is not to win the ongoing war with either Eurasia or Eastasia, but to simply keep control. Now Eurasia is intensifying attacks and vastly increasing troops deplyments in Africa. Will the terrifying dictatorship of Oceania survive the coming years of war? Or will the proletarian masses revolt and seek to overthrow the totalitarian government?

Go into scenario's eug file and add following command to the country with right stringname: 'desc = [stringname]'.


Example:

name = "January 1914: The Great War"
panel = "scenarios/data/scenario_1914.bmp"

header = {
name = "The Great War"
startdate = {
year = 1914
}

selectable = { ETH AFG ALB ARG U14 U11 BEL BHU BOL BRA ENG BUL CAN NAM SAF AST NZL CHL CHC COL COS CUB DEN DOM ECU SAL MAN FRA GER GRE
GUA HAI U03 HON ITA JAP LIB LUX MEX MON MTN SAU NEP HOL NIC NOR OMN OTT PAN PAR PER PRU POR U07 ROM
RUS U02 SER SIA SIK SPA SWE SCH TIB URU USA VEN YEM
}
GER = {
desc = GER_14_DESC
picture = "scenarios\data\propaganda_GER.bmp"
}
 
Not very reliable modifying the scenario, the game engine reloads the default if the country is changed and then swapped back.
 
From MartinBG:

1. It checks for TAG_YYYY_DESC (where YYYY the scenario starting year)
2. If start year is >= 1945 --> TAG_45_DESC
3. If start year is >= 1944 --> TAG_44_DESC
4. If start year is >= 1941 --> TAG_41_DESC
5. If start year is >= 1939 --> TAG_39_DESC
6. If start year is == 1936 --> TAG_36_DESC
7. If none of the above is found --> TAG_DESC
