Leader Name Problem (Is this no solution???)

[ho1]

I hope to play the WBS map with 34 civs in full leader name. But I know that will have error due to limited cache for leader name length. Is this no solution??

The only currently known solution is to shorten the leader names. Apparently this is a limitation of the WBS file format.

I don't think I understand the question, but it sounds interesting. Could somebody please explain?

Basically, in world builder saves you only have a fixed amount of space to fit all leader names in. This is not a problem as long as you use no more than 32 leaders on your map. If you use more, the game crashes upon load. Currently the only known way around this is to shorten the leader names, so that more names will fit into the same fixed space.

Thanks Psyringe!

I Know the truncated name method. But I noted some scenarios can play with full leader name. How they do that??

Hmmm, perhaps send the creator of such a scenario a mail. There might be a solution or workaround that I'm not aware of.

Probably by opening the file in notepad and editing it manually...

I have tried to edit manually, but the WBS will have error when loading custom game.

Post the file in question and we'll have a look-see.

Install BTS Patch 3.13 can solve this problem~

Wow, that's great - especially considering that Firaxis did not absolutely have to fix this, since the error would never have occurred in an unmodded game (or a scenario with more civs than the base game would ever have).
