Developing a Mod

[Monkwarrior]

Hi, I am not allowed to post in the dungeon, so I put here my problems in developing a totally new Mod. (a long post, sorry).
I have the strategic map, all the units of the battle part (from the Reconquista Mod), the new startpos file, unit_specific, faction_specific and all the files necessary (I think).
The campaign loads and start. I see the armies and castles.

Small Problems:
- Some kings have the roman numbers (e.g. Sancho III), but others not (the game says it can't be found http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif )
- I have all the names of the regions (from region_specific file) but not the castles. They appear as Sevilla Castle_xyz (cannot be translated), although the translation is in the same file. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
- The titles are not translated. They appear as Duke of Málaga, although the translation is in the same region_specific file.

BIG PROBLEMS:
- When I try to check the allies and enemies menu, the menu opens but the game gets blocked. (I must Ctrl+Alt+Supr to return to windows).
- When I push the end of year button, the game starts thinking (with the small portraits of the kings) but it quickly crashes to desktop http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif

PLEASE. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME WITH THOSE PROBLEMS?
Thanks.

For the small problems, it sounds like there's something wrong with the names file in Loc/Eng/names. If you've already altered it then I don't know.
For the big problems I have no idea; I doubt that the small problems would be causing the big problems.

You'll either need to wait until a proper modder (ie not me http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-juggle.gif ) sees this, or try to find a similar thread in the apothecary and post your questions in there.

Good luck with the mod, anyway.

Sorry, I meant the alchemist's lab.

Btw, how do I edit posts? I read somewhere that it comes up next to the quote button, but I can't see it. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Does your king appear as Alfonso(#RomanNumeral#) (or something much alike)?
Or is he just King Alfonso?
