View Full Version : Error Loading Mount Database

Hi, haven't stopped in for a while, but I recently tried to update my EB to 1.2 as it's been out and I want to get back into TW.

First off, here's what I started with:

Windows XP
EB 1.1
EB for BI

EB always worked for me just fine in every way.

This is what I did:

Uninstalled EB for BI
Installed EB 1.2 on top of 1.1
Installed the new EB for BI (which contains 1.2 Permanent Fixes)

Now, when I start up EB, I immediately get a box saying "Error loading mount database" - when I click "OK" another box comes up saying "Script Error in eb/data/descr_mount.txt, at line 446, column 1. Could not find battlefield model for 'elephant oliphant'." Clicking "OK" to this brings me to the desktop.

Hope someone can tell me what this is and how to fix it; hopefully not involving redoing everything; I seem to have misplaced my RTW disc currently, but not my BI disc. So reinstalling everything will be a pain for a while.

Thanks much in advance.

I guess it's possible I started with 1.0 instead of 1.1, maybe? Too late to find out now I guess, but it's a thought.

I tried to add my validation results, but it's 1,456,000-some-odd characters, and I'm allowed 500,000 in a post.

Okay, figured it out. I'm an idiot (surprise). Turns out that I've been away from the game since EB 1.0, so I installed 1.1 then 1.2, now it works.

I would doubt that. :laugh4:

To minimize the chances of future problems, did you apply the fixes (linked in my sig)
