Suite & Terrain Types

Post by Wien1938 » 2020-03-29 14:05, Sunday

Good afternoon,

I've set up a terrainex.txt for my custom e-file in which I've changed a couple of the terrain type names (e.g. "Bocage" to "Dense Arable" & "Sand" to "Arable"). I can't get the map editor to pick up these name changes when I want to set a hex to a particular terrain type (still displays the old names) - do I need to change these somewhere else?

Thanks! :)

The labels in terrainEx.txt are there only to make easier setting up the table, but all the strings are read from the file "strings_efile.txt".

Be aware that this file is read as a whole, so should be careful and do not add neither remove any line, just replace the terrain's lines with the text you prefer.

You're an absolute star, dear boy!

Thanks for making all this possible - I've been so happy since Open General came into being. :)
