3062 - Possible problem with Nation Editor

Dogzilla · 03-23-2007, 05:28 PM

In the nation editor, the lower part of the window where you set name set usage, the drop-down menu only has 17 choices instead of the 40 I would have expected. For countries that don't use one of the 17 sets listed, it seems to default to "English".
For example, India by default uses 100% Indian set, set 27. If you look at India in the nation editor, it shows "English" for 100%. Indian is not one of the choices in the drop down menu. For a country like Belgium, which uses 60% Dutch and 40% French, it looks OK because Dutch and French are 2 of the 17 in the menu.
Also, I would expect that the drop-down menu to be based on the name sets specified in the ethnicities.txt files, but they are static; they don't change even if you edit the ethinicities.txt file, and they have names like "English" and "Scandanavian" that don't match set names, even in the orginal file.

Can you make a screen shot of this, then PM me when you do? I want to include it in the TT.

Thanks.
