How to change a bloody citylist!!!! in exp

[waerth]

Ok I am in a bad mood now. The city list system was designed by a torturer I am sure of it!

I have Simutrans Exp.
I have 2 places where the city lists should be
One in the >text > citylists where the citylist_en.txt is found
One in the >pakdirectory >config > text where many citylist_en_au, citylist_en_gb etc etc etc variations are found. But no citylist_en.txt

Now I have changed ALL files with the list of cities as I want it ALL OF THEM

Yet it doesnt get changed in the game. I have now been busy for 90 minutes with this. Anyone know WHERE I should change things??

As far as I can make out, Experimental reads the citylist from Text > citylist_en.txt -- i.e. not from inside the citylists folder. Move it into the Text directory and see if that works.

Changing the citylist will only affect new games, not ones already in progress, try creating a brand new map after changing the citylist and see if it still doesn't work?

It's worth mentioning that it will change also for new cities made in a game even with an old save, just not change the names of existing cities.

I was actually setting up a new game with 1001 towns, which is why I amalgated all the citylists from en_au en_gb en_us etc etc to get 1001 unique names as I hate 2 cities with the same name :p

it worked now after I dont know anymore what I did .....

Thanks,
