Transfering medals from one game to another
« on: August 19, 2024, 03:12:09 AM »
Redoing the medal list for every game is... tediuse...
So I tried to export medals, they go to medals box as an excell file...
Then when I try to import them to a new game I get function # 175 error, in swedish, so a translation comes to this, "the input string was in an incorrect format"
What do I wrong?⁸

Most likely you have a comma in the name or description of one (or more) of your medals.
If you open the file with a simple text editor (not excel), you should be able to remove any such commas.
Then save the file and try to import again.
