The file is a text file and needs to be edited in a TEXT file editor such as Notepad, Wordpad, etc. Notepad will usually add the .TXT suffix to the file when you save it so be sure to save as.
COH2 will not open the file if it looks like 6p_MyMap.Info.txt.
It wants 6p_MyMap.Info.
Text files all need delimiters in order for the program code to split things into pieces that make sense. The INFO file uses brackets and commas as delimiters {}, The code that reads the file sees an object then reads what is between the brackets as the objects variables. Each variable is delimited by a comma. Code reads until it sees a comma and ends reading for that variable.
Note that each object is also delimited by a comma after its brackets.
PSUEDO CODE EXAMPLE:
Object = { variable1, Variable2, },
ACTUAL EXAMPLE:
default_skins =
{
"winter",
},
- default skins is the object. Its variables are inside { } and ends with a comma.
- "winter" is a string variable inside the brackets and is delimited with a comma. Note that the quotes are a delimiter that indicates read this var as a string.
It is important that each object and its variables are delimited or the program will read gibberish and crash.
