Edit: The Icon Error i found in the log is fixed but the Issue is stay here and poke my ass -.-

I tried to solve the problem all night but I could only find a few little things but not more. The problem still exists and I don't understand the error message in the log file.
Maybe a developer can take a look at it cause I'm starting to despair.

After 15 hours I finally found the problem. You cannot create a department without the secondary surgery skill and sugery specialization. No idea why but without these two values ​​the game hangs. Does anyone know how to get around this because I don't want to have surgery in my gynecology.

Edit:
is there a possibility that only female patients can go to the department or that only female patients get gynecological diseases? Because I am just about to write down all of the gynecological diseases including their symptoms and treatments, and it occurred to me that we men could get none of them. Maybe someone can help.

Hey @Chaos,

Yeah modding this game is insanely fun but the smallest thing can break everything.

1. Absolutely, you will possibly still need to define the surgery skills but to make a department that has no hospitalisation, simply add the following to that departments definition in the ModDepartments.xml (Add it anywhere that isn't nested, so between <GameDBDepartment ID="DPT_***"> & </GameDBDepartment> but not inside tags within that.

<NoHospitalization>true</NoHospitalization>

This will ensure hospitalisation on the side is not shown, I am not sure if it hides surgeons but I'd imagine it probably does.

2. Given all diagnosis for that department are defined as female only, only females should ever show up (right now males can have the possible diagnosis of females (and vice versa) but the devs are working on this, should be fixed in the next patch. This won't make males show up to that department though.)
To define a diagnosis as such, simply add the following to the diagnosis code (again, be careful to not nest it into other tags) (add within <GameDBMedicalCondition ID="DIA_***"> & </GameDBMedicalCondition>).

<MatchingGenderRef>GENDER_FEMALE</MatchingGenderRef>
or
<MatchingGenderRef>GENDER_MALE</MatchingGenderRef>
Depending which gender is effected by the diagnosis.
Hope that helps.
