Game not recognizing names file

Putting this here since it didn't get any replies in General...

Trying to create a custom save using a names.xml file from the forums, but every player the game creates is Jim Unknown. However, the game uses the names.xml file correctly when creating players in a Real World setup.

I've tested using the historical db or creating a completely custom game, and the names.xml file only works correctly using Real World.

I've tried reimporting the world_default and names files after league creation, but it doesn't change anything.

Any idea what's going on?

you must have a country that's using a names set that doesn't exist, so you need to make sure the numbers that correspond to the name set your country is using actually exists in your names.xml and you need to always reload the world xml and the names and nicknames databases when it asks
