1.0 fixes you should try before posting

[VinDic]

Nothing?...Thanks the same...and congratulations, the mod is the best I played until now.

[bovi]

You're quick . I put it up after posting the previous post.

[VinDic]

Destiny...I know...Rapidshare works ...Thank you very much Bovi...I'm in debt with you

Howdy....

I downloaded this fix......

# Building fixes

* Updated 2008-01-20
* The Pahlava MIC5 has impossible requirements to build. This fix by JMRC will make it buildable, giving access to the grivpanvar (and possibly more).
* The rebellion CTD that keeps haunting us may have been fixed. Makanyane came with crucial input to perhaps eliminate this bugger once and for all.
* The fix will overwrite export_descr_buildings.txt, you may want to make a backup of this first.
* Download this file from the EB FTP or Rapidshare.
* Unpack into <RTW directory>/EB/data.

After i installed it and tried to play EB the game crashed and i got this message........

Script Error in eb/data/export_desc_buildings.txt,at line 9522,column 61.

Unknown unit specified.roman cavalry eqvites praetoriani



Any help on how to fix this would be much appreciated.

[bovi]

Perhaps you have an unofficial mod installed, whose EDB you just overwrote? I know I tested to run the game, start a campaign, see that the apeleutheroi were recruitable, and quit. Also, I have made no change to any line concerning the cavalry.

The unit is specified in EDU:

Bovi....

Yes,i had the First Cohorts mod installed.Should i download that again?Would that fix this?Or should i delete that entry you pasted?Im also using BI....could that be causing a problem?

[bovi]

You should put back the backup you made, and then apply the changes that this fix does to that mod's EDB. I'll put up the changes in question shortly.

Add bolded lines at the indicated line (may change in your particular file as you add lines!), remove red text.

[Calypze]

This may be a stupid question, but are the permanent fixes for the game in general, and not only for those who have experienced special problems?

[bovi]

Yes.

[Darth Stalin]

Bovi, how can I find the specified lines of code in .txt file?
And to what building do they refer to?

I can find "royal_barracks_C1", but I can't find anything that has no name but some "capabilities", which are some hundreds of in EDB file...

[bovi]

The line number is listed right above each entry...? Any decent text editor has a function for going to a given line, most by pressing Ctrl-G. Also you can diff the file against a clean 1.0 one (I did so to create this overview), or search for the diplomat capability. Many roads leading to Rome .

Additions concern the government precursor complex.

[Darth Stalin]

The problem is that the Notepad has NOT the option of "Ctrl+G", and when using MS Office 2007 I can't open the EDB file - it just hungs up and seems to have crashed...

EDIT:
deleted the part of this post that could be found as offensive by other Forum-users. Sorry about that, but struggling against MS-products at midnight after some 6 hours of sleep during past 48 hours is not the best way to get things around

@Mouzaphaerre:
Thanks! Just forgot about that option in Notepad... :(

@bovi:
Sorry.
Sometimes the simplest solutions are those hardest to find.
My problem is fixed - and now I can mod on :)

BTW: I know that EB team does NOT support any unofficial mods - and no problem abbout that; I can import appropriate code in modded file, I only need to know what does the change/bugfix refer to. So far all my changed files worked quite nice, as I always tried to be careful (and backupped) in making changes.
Anyway, thanks for fixing bugs - I'll try to implement them as only they're released.

BTW2: why there are NO in EB higher levels of blacksmiths (Armourer and Foundry) and Epic Stone Walls?
I know how to make them appear and made them available in my version of modded EB, I'm just curious why there's no such buildings in EB.

Sorry for being not too polite last night, guys.

[bovi]

Get Notepad++. It's free. Or try Textpad or UltraEdit, the latter is my favourite text editor.

[Mouzafphaerre]

.

The problem is that the Notepad has NOT the option of "Ctrl+G"

It does. Uncheck Format > Word Wrap and enable View > Status Bar. Then you have your line and coloumn numbers at the status bar and can use Ctrl + G or Edit > Go To...
.

[bovi]

Microsoft software works in mysterious ways. Try some of my suggestions. If you don't care to apply the fix, when I have given you many different ways to find the lines in question, and in addition use profanity, I don't care to help anymore. We don't support unofficial mods anyway.

[Darth Stalin]

@bovi:
Once again my apologies.
Just was too mindstuck to try the solution Mouzaphaerre gave me "on the silver plate".
I'll try not to be so profanous anymore - if I'll be, just hit my head with something hard like Monty Pythons famous "12 tons".

And yes, MS products sometimes (and IMHO all too often) work in VERY mysterious ways...

And, as I found, the added lines that allow to recruit "generic militia" [Apeleutheroi, I suppose?] refer to "building hinterland_precursor" and its levels - "levels precursor_feeder outlying expansion homeland hinterland_victory"

I only wonder, what CTD and when was caused due to lack of these lines? I've never had anything like that... but - maybe someone had?

[bovi]

It concerns rebellions. If there are no units available to recruit for the faction a settlement rebels to, the game will crash. These additions are because in some rare cases the core building (governor palace) is damaged from a disaster or in the revolt itself, precluding the apeleutheroi that usually will fill a blank. The precursors are hinterland, meaning indestructible, so this will hopefully end our problems with rebellions.

[Darth Stalin]

OK, now I see.
I've seen at least 2 times in my current Romani campaign that governor palace has been damaged due to various reasons - and yes, that may be the problem.

[Wladyslaw IV]

AGGH! Are all these hotfixes packaged in one somewhere?

[Ludens]

AGGH! Are all these hotfixes packaged in one somewhere?

Unfortunately not.

[Gazius]

Unfortunately not.

Are there any plans to do so, perhaps a 1.05 before 1.1 comes out?

[bovi]

No. It's a hassle to update when new fixes are discovered.

[Theodotos I]

Sorry to ask what may be a stupid question, but how to I open the .rar file extension? I can't find anything on my computer that can help. I've downloaded the rest of the perm. fixes and they work great, but I just can't get the last two. Thanks ahead of time for any help.

[Lysandros]

Try Winrar http://www.rarlab.com/
or bovi's favourite: 7zip http://www.7-zip.org/

[Come in Nighthawk]

1.0 fixes - Updated regularly. Latest news item (2008-01-20) is a possible solution to the rebellion CTD...

Sorry, maybe I have been starring at the screen too long editing a chapter today, and though now I'm "taking a break," I'm still starring at the screen! Howsoever, I can not find the "rebellion" fix mentioned. Would some kind soul take pity please & point the way... please??

My advice have some rest before you install these and read everything very very very carefully

Ahhh, well "rest" is of course a tempting thing -- when the chapter is revised and emailed off to my professor!

As to the "fixes," I guess the problem is, "I" was looking for something clearly labeled as "Rebellion Fix," not least as somewhere else in this lengthy thread its referred to (if I was seeing the right reference) to "rebellion.ftp."

Something "buried" under "Building fixes" that starts out talking about "The Pahlava MIC5..." went completely under my radar, as it were.

I am indebted to you, and I shall take steps to install this fix asap.

Cheers!

[FFJean]

Dear all,

First let me say 3 things:
- I am having (or rather, was) having great fun playing as Baktria (I just love the units of Baktria, strong archers cav with Hellenes inf and Persians archers!) with EB. I discovered EB (well, started to play it rather) a month ago, and it is just GREAT.
- I may well be one of the persons least able to use a computer I know!
- I am not an English speaker.

This said, I would really appreciate if somebody could hlp me. I am having a CTD (during the Roman AI turn, or at least during the AI turn, when I see the shield) and I ould like to use the fixes.

But I can't seem to connect to the EB ftp indicated (at least it says each time "Internet Explorer ne peut pas afficher cette page Web") whilst the RapidFrire adress works. And anyway, I don't understand whether I should install permanent or all fixes.

Thank you,

FFJean
