Status: offline 		thanks.

surely only "DB Case Blue" or "DB Warsaw" scenarios are compatible, not ATG ?

For my curiosity only, why didn't used XML or CSV separate files for data ?
There're a lot of parser and editor to make life easier for a modder.


addenum
"export txt names" from the string list lead to a CTD (System.IndexOutOfRangeException)

Status: offline 		Hi Laska,

I have started some early exploratory work on DC3 and am planning a complete overhaul of the editor as a main feature. I want to make it much easier to create your own scenarios.

The reason i did not use CSV files is that everything is connected.

The historical unit data structure has links to regimes, peoples and most importantly predefined units (that have links to the sftypes).

Export Text works fine with me with all the stringlists in current scenarios. With you as well? If so could you show me a screeny of your stringlist that gives problems?

Best,
Vic

Status: offline 		Ah i see. Yes the editor is really tough on the user in this instance. The button should not have been active while no stringlist is selected.

Try selecting an actual stringlist in the list to the left first and then pressing the export txt button.

Best,
Vic
