Automagic problem

Hi,
I am having some trouble importing the xml file of a Northmen position. The problem is caused by Beawyn, who of course has an accent over the second letter of her name. Automagic imports her name as Buawyn, which gives and incorrect id and lists the character in the wrong order.

Is there something I can do to correct this?

You can edit it by hand. Double click on the name and you will be able to change the name. We're looking into solving this issue.

Hi

Its a problem I know about. I even have the fix, but won't implement it until I have playtested the fix. This should occur by the end of this week.

Thanks

Sam

Colin,

Well, in the short term, you can simply change the name. Unfortunately,
that means you'll have to do a DELETE & SORT to get it in the right
order (assuming you don't sort them manually).

What kind of accent is over the "e" in the name? I'll have to fix that
problem in the next revision of Automagic. There's nothing you can do at
your end unless you're familiar with Excel.

Except of course the character is in the wrong alphabetical order as a
result of the original problem. For now I'll just pass on the xml
import feature (for that nation at least).
