Setting up challenge in MP

[Jagger2002]

Something weird happened when I set up a MP challenge for the Evergreen 1240AD league. I set up the challenge as Andalusian 1228-1248AD vs Khwarazamian 1232-1246. Yet when I looked at the army selection before submitting the challenge, the summary shows Andalusian 1228-1248AD vs Khwarazamian 1156-1231. I retried setting up the challenge several times and kept getting the same results. So I submitted the challenge anyway to see what happens and it also shows the Khwarazamian army as 1156-1231 instead of the 1232-1246 army. We haven't started the game to see what armies actually appear on the map but I am guessing the Khwarazamian 1156-1231 army is going to show up. I have never seen that happen before and I think it is probably a bug.

It is a bug, but nevertheless the battle will use Khwarazmian 1232-1246 as you wished it to.

The bug is in the ArmyList.txt file, which gives IDS_ARMY_KHWARAZMIAN as the NAME for the later army list, instead of IDS_ARMY_L_KHWARAZMIAN

The only place that the NAME tag specified in the ArmyList.txt file is used is in the MP Lobby, which uses engine-based code rather than script code written by me. (The game scripts construct the tag directly from the army list chunk name, instead of using the tag specified in the ArmyList.txt file).

This makes it difficult for the bug to be spotted, as the only place it can be seen in game is in the MP Lobby. I have a debug script to check it, but obviously forgot to run it for Swords and Scimitars.

I will fix it for the next update. In the meantime be assured that the game will be played using the army list you selected, even if the MP Lobby says otherwise.

ThanKs! Sounds like we are good to go.
