Player expertise script

[ascetic]

Hi! I am trying to use player expertise script with following text
[HEADER]
Title=Player Expertise
Description=Script for Capitalism Lab, listing all variables under the [PLAYER EXPERTISE] section.

[PLAYER EXPERTISE]

Retailing=50
Farming=50
Manufacturing=50
Research and Development=50
Raw Material Production=60
Marketing=70
Training=80
Product Expertise=Software, 99


I am noticed that it is does not work properly. First of all it put random software class (Utility, security etc.) and random experience level (from 50 to 100 mostly). Disregarding what I type in the script.

Second issue is that if I put instead of software FOOD category as example then I have 2 fields of expertise - food and random software.
I have next questions:
1) How to write script with correct software product expertise value and name? Why it is not works now?
2) Should I play custom game with this 2 expertise fields or this will lead game to crash? (I mean food + software, or any other combination)

Thank you in advance @David

Please read this article about the script lines for setting the software and Internet expertise:

Software Expertise = <software class name or code>, <1-100>
Internet Expertise = <Internet company type>, <1-100>

Could you be more useful instead of just directing to a page we all already saw? Show me where it shows the Internet company types or software class name or code?

You can see the lists of the Internet company types and software class names from the Digital Guide on the Information Center. You may also press the hotkey Ctrl-I to open it.

This is for the "News"

Internet Expertise =News Website, 99
Internet Expertise =News Engine, 99

It doesn't work. I tried for all, tech and internet company type. They don't work.

Is there something else we are missing?

[David]

Internet Expertise =News Website, 99
Internet Expertise =News Engine, 99

Please remove the line "Internet Expertise =News Engine, 99" and only keep the line "Internet Expertise =News Website, 99" and it will work.

The reason is that you are supposed to specify the <Internet company type>, as opposite to <Internet Tech> in the script line, as described in:
Internet Expertise = <Internet company type>, <1-100>

And only one line of "Internet Expertise" should be defined in the script.

I've tested it in the game and it worked as intended.
