creating a fictional country

GoPedro99 · 08-10-2016, 05:03 PM

how would you be able to create a fictional country in the game to use instead of real countries

You can either edit the XML file, which is the difficult way.

Or you can go to Game...Explore World...click on any nation...Nation Editor...Add a new nation

Also, shoot me a PM about the WBA.

Yes, editing the XML file it's the difficult way, but it's also probably the best way.

Reds1 is the board member who is probably the best one to talk to about this.

Here's a very good tutorial on modifying the World.xml - http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ref-guide.html

is there an easy way to insert states and cities other than one by one

Modifying the world.xml file, once you get the hang of it, is quicker.

and it's really not that difficult if you have a little patience... definitely check out the tutorial link Bluenoser posted... that's what I used when I took my first crack at editing the world.xml file.

Notepad ++ Google it for free download.

+1 for Notepad++. Technically you can use plain old Notepad, but Notepad++ does syntax highlighting which is terrifically helpful.
