Change Capital City [Pre-Game Editor]

[The Good Rebel]

I have just noticed whilst trying to edit a nation that you can no longer change a capital city or indeed add one to an extinct nation! Unless something has gone wrong with my editor? I have edited the comp editor.fmf file to allow the editing of continents and adding of local regions, but other than that I haven't changed anything.

Is this a new feature due to capital cities being purely cosmetic, or has something gone wrong?

I can't help thinking this is about licensing. Someone may be really upset if the capital city could be edited. I'd guess you can change the names of the cities. Doesn't help with extinct nations though.

The code has been changed in the comp editor file. You need to extract that using resource archiver, then go to comp editor / format / database / nation

and replace the capital city entry with this...

<!-- Capital City -->
            <record>
                <flags id="field" value="Ncpi" />
                <translation id="name" translation_id="293203" type="use" value="Capital City" />
                <flags id="type" value="database_record_unique_id" />
                <flags id="database_table_type" value="city" />
                <boolean id="is_client_field" value="true" />
                <boolean id="is_optional" value="true" />
            </record>

 

Then go to comp editor / format / database ui / nation ui

 

and replace the capital city entry with this...

<record db_field="nati,Ncpi" />                                <!-- capital city -->

 

then replace the original archive using the resource archiver again.

 

It seems like no nations have capital cities set in the editor though.

To add, capital city is no longer displayed on the nation screen in game.

That's ok then, was just wondering if it was my editor messing up or a cosmetic feature that was removed!
