I've been personalizing Data/Music

What should playlists.csv look like if you want it to only use generic.txt?

[cpdeyoung]

The csv file is generic text, but it is a European "csv" file, so it uses semicolons rather than commas as the delimiter. If you edit it in Notepad or another text editor you will be Ok, but if you use a USA standard Excel you will have to replace the commas with sems when you save.

Just make sure the commas are all replaced with semicolons and you should be good.

This works -

#country id (-1 - generic);path to playlist
-1;data/music/generic.txt

This doesn't -

path to playlist
data/music/generic.txt

I was just curious why the #country id (-1 - generic) & -1 were still required since I deleted all the other playlists.


TU TUVM... Did anyone see which way Elvis went?

Because game is designed do read country id, then file name.... so "-1;" have to be there
Firs line (in fact all lines starting with "#") are irrelevant for game, they are just comments for modders so they know line format.

[AH4Ever]

So the game sees the generic list as if it were a country and it's Country ID is -1.
Viewing the original Playlist file, I was guessing it was a variable that was acting upon the actual Country ID's.

Thank you so much for the clarification and "You be careful out there"
