So I'm working to create warinfo files for Argentina, Brazil, and Chile to create a South American focused game, but I'm running into an issue. So the empty coordinates list as a 5 digit number for E/W and N/S, but when I see coordinates listed for things, I see 6 digit numbers. When using the warinfo editor, the number I see is in a format with 5 digits for E/W and 4 digits for N/S. How am I supposed to use this data, and how do I use the warinfo editor with custom nations? When I look at the list of nations I only see the default nations. Any help is appreciated as I would like to submit this for everyone to enjoy as a new region of focus. I started by working from the files created by Parrot from RTW1, but I'm having to rework alot of it nearly from scratch because of a few issues with locations, hence my current predicament. Thanks again.

Coordinates in the game files are in degrees, minutes, and seconds, with latitude being DDMMSS and longitude being DDDMMSS; East longitude is denoted with E, West longitude is denoted with W, North latitude is denoted with N, and South latitude with S. If I recall correctly, leading zeroes can be safely dropped, at least within the degrees portion of the coordinate. |

Thanks much. I am now running into an issue of how to save a file created with the WarInfoEditor. I can't seem to actually save the file. It tries to save it to NWS\Rule the Waves 2\Data\Data\filename.dat and I would get an error message until I added a Data folder inside the Data folder. Even after the error message goes away, there isn't a file saved into that folder. The file doesn't seem to save anywhere after I put all this effort into creating a set of battles for each of 6 adversaries. How does this work then? Does anyone know how to make this work?
