I followed the steps outlined in the BoA modding guide stickied up top of the Modding forum. Tells you what you need to do with each of the 3 files with CSVSplitter and what directories they go in and how to save your scenario for use by everyone. BoA and AACW use the same engine (obviously) and it works the same as far as scenarios are concerned.

Here is one from AACW:

Her one about adding a new leader from BoA (same process in AACW though):

Primasprit's tut is the best and there was a note from Pocus which i'll Quote here........


Notes:
a) If you modify events or the cities tabs in the XLS file, you must export them too. Event file (sct extension goes to the events directory). Cities file (.inc as include) goes into the includes directory and must be renamed as the filename specified in the setup tab of the scenarios, where includes are listed to be read.

[SIZE="3"]b) the events will only triggers if the event file has the exact same name as the scenario file. ie myscen.scn uses myscen.sct.[/size]


Point "B" .......I lost about 4 hours Trying too figure out Why events would'nt trigger in my scenerio till I found this out

Are you using Open Office or Excel? I'm sure I had problems using Excel and downloaded Open Office which was free. I don't think I've had a problem since.
If you are using open office and are still having probs, I'll see if I can help you with some screens.

You need to set the semicolon as field delimiter (and no text delimiter) to make it work, not the pipe.

I think this is a misunderstanding.

I wrote several times in the thread that the delimiter must be a semicolon (For example here: http://www.ageod-forum.com/showpost.php?p=30639&postcount=10) because another guy had a similar problem as you.

I only use OpenOffice and in this program it is very easy to change the output filter for csv-files. I thought in Excel you could do the same but discovered later that the csv-output of Excel depends on the region-settings of Windows (or something like that).
So I looked for a solution of this problem in the Internet. I found one and cited the article in this post: http://www.ageod-forum.com/showpost.php?p=30844&postcount=18 The author uses as an example the pipe as delimiter but this has nothing to do with AACW.

I definitely recommend the use of Open Office. It might not be the "Industry Standard" that MS Office is but I have just taken to it. I have MS Office installed but don't use it unless I have to.

MS Office, like a lot of MS programs, have some funny quirks to them (such as the regional setting thing) that I just don't understand why it is there.

Make sure you have the correct CSV splitter. There are two out there. IIRC, one only works with BOA. Again if I remember correctly, the Oct CSV splitter is the correct one.
