Reimport world database fixed

Pronkytonk · 01-05-2010, 05:06 AM

Back to OOTP after a while off, I wonder if the troubles with re-importing the databases still exist or if this thing has been fixed by any of the patches.

I would like to update the names database over the course of my historical league every 10 or 20 years to have more realistic fictional player names generated, but I remember to have read that there were serious issues with this thing before the patch. Having read the list of bugfixes in the patch description, I haven't found anything about it, so I would appreciate some feedback from somebody who uses this feature (or doesn't use it because it is still broken ...)

Well, FWIW, I'm using the latest patch, and I'm not having any success re-importing the ethnicities database... I'm trying to shrink the baseball world down to a half dozen nations, but the game continues to create players from all over the world, even after "re-importing" my edited nations.txt file. Of course, it's entirely possible that I'm doing something wrong...
