Using FaceGen in Historical Leagues

[fhomess]

(I cross posted this in the historical forum, too)

So I'm trying to create a historical league starting in the 1800's, and I've decided to use Questdog's names files. I've modified his nations file a little bit to have 3 different United States entries. My league is located in the following one, with foreign player percentage set to 0.

32,The United States (Unintegrated),U.S.A. (Unint),USA,American (Unint),4,5,0,95,14,2,4,2,0,0,0,0,1000,0,0

The problem I'm finding is that I continue to get players who have African as their facial type, and it's a fairly large contingent. I thought I had configured the facial demographics at the end of the nation line to be only Caucasian. Am I mistakenly doing this the old OOTP8 way and I need to change this in some other fashion? I did verify that the players are all from the correct line in my nations file, so that doesn't appear to be the problem. Also, I do have a good number of players with Caucasian as the facial type, so the game doesn't appear to be respecting my settings unless I'm just doing this wrong.

Just tilting at windmills here, but is the foreign player setting for this league set to something other than 0?

No, it's 0.

Alright, I give up. I'd have to see your league files to figure out if there's a technical glitch here. Can you upload them to the FTP site?

fhomess, it's been a long time since I've looked at this customization stuff (getting there some day when updating the manual )

But, I suspect that the ethnicity values in ethnicities.txt are overriding your nations.txt settings. Honestly, I can't remember if that's the intention, but I'll bet dimes to donuts your problem is in ethnicities.txt.

Gotta get some sleep now, though.

Yes, that was it. Thanks a bunch.
