Okay I have dorked something up pretty badly here, and I'm pretty sure that it is related to some battle files for buildings. :dizzy2: The mod that I'm working on is vanilla RTW 1.5 based, but incorporates a lot of BI elements such as night battles, characters and interfaces. The issue that I'm having is that when I load a siege battle on a settlement, such as a Gaulic large town the walls, buildings and other objects all disappear. The underlay, or footprint, is still present and can be seen, but know other details of the settlement can be seen. I know the objects are still there though as the soldiers still maneuver around where the walls and gates should be.

I suspect that where I have gone wrong is that I've added BI building textures or CAS files somewhere and they are probably conflicting with the vanilla RTW settlement layout. However, I don't know where these files are although I've done a great deal of searching. :wall: Anyone know what folder or file I should be looking for to fix this issue? :help:

The Barbarian culture in RTW didn't originally have as high settlement levels as it does in BI - if you wanted them to have the higher cities in RTW based mod you had to do something like
How to Transfer Barbarian Buildings from BI to RTW (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=66559) was that what you were trying to achieve? If so see if that tutorial gives any clues.

If you want to use some of the BI buildings I think you will need to copy and paste the entire BI/data/items folder into your mod folder and also use BI version of the descr_items.db file. That has RTW stuff plus the extra BI bits in it so you should then have everything... (the items folder has a funny quirk that you can't split contents between mod-folder and RTW level - it all needs to be in mod-folder if you want anything read from there)
