Here's how to update your custom world file so that it works in OOTP 19

I know a lot of folks have been having a hard time getting old custom world files to work properly with OOTP 19. I messed around with it and was able to get Bottom of the Sixth's US States as Nations mod working in 19.

Here's what I did:
1. Open up the world_default file that comes with OOTP 19 and open the world file you would like to use.
2. In your custom world file, do a ctrl-find and replace 'lid=' with 'etid='
3. In your custom world file, do a ctrl-find and replace 'ETHNICITY' with 'ETHN_PCT'
4. In your custom world file, do a ctrl-find and replace 'ETHNICITIES' with 'ETHN_PCTS'
5. Finally, you'll notice that your custom version has a list of languages instead of a list of ethnicities at the beginning of the file. Copy lines 13 through 53 of the default world file and paste them over the corresponding lines in your custom file.
(That is, copy the lines from <ETHNICITIES> to </ETHNICITIES> and paste them over the lines from <LANGUAGES> to </LANGUAGES> )

6. Now load your new world file into the game as you would normally do. These changes did the trick for me.
