Scenarios description woes...again.
This file must be, without a doubt- the weirdest in the entire game.
(Using mod-dir scenario.CSV) I have managed to get an alternate french text in and legible.
And here comes the but...
One france's text is in the standard german text is knocked out, reverting to GER_DESC.
WTF?!?!
Two seemingly sperate lines in an excel file affecting each other?!?!
Furthermore, if I touch ENG_DESC it throws frances text back to FRA_DESC?!?!?
As for 'new' nations... I got a test text to work for russia. Copied the format for ottomans, CSA(U00) & Austria-hungary(U02) but none of these appear...
Big sigh...
I thought I would share my 'efforts' and hope someone comes up with some fresh insights...

You need them to be perfectly alphabetically. France might be after Germany, and that's what is screwing them up.

Im not sure what you mean here... are you saying that each line entry ie-
FRA_DESC
GER_DESC
ENG_DESC
etc
etc
..has to be in alphabetical order? or something else? because that seems unlikely given that RUS_DESC is at the bottom of the list and working fine..
But I still dont see why one line should have any bearing on another.
Small UPDATE: I have managed to get USA and Russia's text in and working.
All others still not cooperating.
I'm really looking forward to this, I am a great fan of Harry Turtledove!
Started reading Great War some month ago, now I'm reading Breakthroughs. After I'm done I'll read How Few Remain, and then go to American Empire (so it will take a while before I reach Settling Accounts)
Looks like you are doing a great job! I am willing to support you in any way I can (I do know html, xhtml, css.. if you might need help in making a website if you need one).
Cheers!

Crap... I forgot to post the link, or remember it, to Beta 1.0... not good since I went out for my last roadtrip before college...
On the other hand, Beta 1.5: http://savefile.com/projects.php?pid=965207
From what I can tell soo far, there are two major areas of work:
1) AI... I cant say enough about how this has horrified me for weeks. A common example of how the US abandons DC and Charlottsville (occupied Virginia) when it is AI vs AI... infact the only US forces that stay in place are in Oklahoma... in the end, I'll just need more help to solve this.
2) This I have no chance in heck of doing: If anyone can incorporate the terrain from Vicky into HoI2, I would become their personal sycophant. Im pretty desperate there- HoI2 just isnt great for SA mod. Fredericksburg is needed for the map placement and for a buffer between Richmond.
In addition to these two things, IC for some reason is a bit lower in this mod then in the regular HoI2, so know Im also working on that.

I've run into a problem playing the mod. whenever I launch the SA mod shortcut, everything works fine, except that the single player screen is completely blank: no scenarios, no saved games, no flags. did I install it wrong?
hmm... I wish I could say this or that but from some of my friends that I gave it to, it worked fine... 2 possibilities exist: 1) that there was a problem when u dl'd it (make sure that u move it in mass, not split it up) 2) that there is a glitch when I uploaded it to savefile.com... try taking it out, reinstalling it, then try playing it again.
Oh: make sure that you have the latest patch if you're going to be installing it.

You could lock some garrison forces in place...
EDIT: @Omega
Just Dl your mod, will try an have a go tonight. Thanks for the mention in the Readme, BTW!
Although on first glance it does seem that some of the files in the SA folder will not show (like ledgers and loading screens etc) in mod-dir. Im sure you expected that though!....
One other thing...in the diplomacy screen, where you can select diplomacy by alliances you have replaced axis with entente. In which file do you mod this?

I managed to get the mod to launch for me, but now it crashes to my desktop as soon as it finishes loading the scenario. the loading screen and menu screen look great, btw.

Don't place the files that are in the SA folder directly in your HOI2 folder, copy the entire SA folder into HOI2 so that it's a seperate folder like Db or something, then cut the shortcut to your desktop or whatever and then launch, it should be fine then..

Do you have the latest patch?
Hmmm... if you do, I'll have to upload SA again... prob though have beta 1.6...
Enterprize is it possible that u can work off what Ive put out there and keep up-ing the mod cause after this week, Im in a month blackout.

I downloaded the Mod, but it saved as an .rar file. I don't know what that is, or how to use it, so I am sad.
Hmm... why it isnt working is as confusing to me as incorporating the Vicky terrain into HoI2...
Open up the game, save, and upload a screenshot.

I managed to get it to launch from db and work (not sure how lol), but it still crashes when I try to load the scenario.
