      @Numetalfan I know I could probably translate it myself, but probably you would stand more chances if you give the English version of that exception.

      Also, do not call it v4! V4 identifies another game in the WW2 series. Don't call it v3.1, either. In general the "v" thing is a rules reference; if you are making a variant of v3, just call it "WWIIv3 1941 ..." (for example, veqryn's "WWIIv3 1941 China Mod" in the "WW2v3_Variants" (in your case, not a "Mod", as you clearly need to modify the original skin)).

      If you go ahead making so many changes that it is really like a new map, instead, probably better giving it an original name.

        Hi Cernel,

        I changend that v3 thing in the code and the xml name also. All error messages are in German, I don't know why.
        I would appreciate if you can send me your email so I can send you the xml file. It's probably easier that way to find the concrete problems.

        Thanks

          Download notepad++ and check the line. You will wind the mistake.

            @Numetalfan You should be able to upload the XML file to a post in this thread so we can take a look.

              @Numetalfan So, what I guess is that you have removed the "Americans" player and added two players "Americans_west" and "Americans_east". However, somewhere in your xml you still have at least one occurrence of "Americans", that now refers to no actually defined player. So, just make a search for simply "Americans" in you document, and remove all occurrences you find of it.

                  @Cernel: It still doesn't work.
                  Could you take a look at the file?

                    @Numetalfan I didn't test the game, but just did what I suggested to do.

                    I see in the xml there are several istances of simply "Americans", namely:

                    <playerProduction player="Americans" frontier="production"/>
                    <playerRepair player="Americans" frontier="repair"/>
                    <attachment name="techAttachment" attachTo="Americans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TechAttachment" type="player">
                    (the above figures twice)
                    <option name="capital" value="Americans"/>

                    Since "Americans" doesn't actually exist, all those instances need to be erased, and the related code being rewritten accordingly.

                    As I didn't modify or test the game, there may be other issues with it.

                      here we go again,

                      the topic is still valid for me, that's what I did:

                      1. re-naming

                      former Americans are now USA and Americans_east

                      <playerList>
                      <!-- Player Turn Order -->

                      <player name="USA" optional="false"/>
<player name="Americans_west" optional="false"/>

                      and

                      <!-- Allied Alliance -->
                      <alliance player="USA" alliance="Allies"/>
                      <alliance player="Americans_west" alliance="Allies"/>
                      </playerList>

                      is this OK? would Americans_east and Americans_west also work?

                      1. modifying

                      this are the changes in the .xml file

                      <!-- Americans_west Game Sequence -->
                      <step name="american_westTech" delegate="tech" player="Americans_west"/>

                      any mistakes here?
                      note: I splitted Algeria and Morocco into two countries. Sicily is also a new territory.

                      Thanks

                          Hi all,

                          the split US scenario is finished.

                          I would like to publish it, so that everybody who is interested can download and play it.
                          Would do I have to do? the zip file is about 13 MB large. how to send it to the download center?

                              Hi, I did all steps including upload and changing ownership

                              can you check this? Hope I've done all correctly
