Bug in Building influences?

[Vacuity]

Hello,

If you want to see the bug then open your building production file with Gnome, and then for any building you like (I've tested on farmland and chapter houses) stick in {CASTLE7(150)} into the "building influences for building combos" column.

Save and try to load and...

It works http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

Open the build file again and put CASTLE10 instead of CASTLE7, save and try again...

And it won't work http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif

For those who can't be bothered doing the above test, the error message I get is
"Unknown building declared as building influence: column 11, row 31" Which in this case is the correct column and row for the Chapter house

Has anyone noticed this before?

I have also checked with CASTLE13 and you get the same error message. My guess is that it doesn't like double-figured buildings and the only buildings that fall into that category are castles 10-15.

Does anyone have any smart ideas for a way to circumvent this bug?

Not tested this but could you perhaps try to change the techlevel integer to 5 instead of 2?

Hi

Cheers for the suggestion, I tried it but it has no apparent effect; the same errors come up as before. I had already tried it at all 4 levels of farmland so all 5 tech levels have now been checked.

I tried checking if maybe (just maybe) this one part of all of the game files used a hexadecimal system (just in case; you never know until you try).
It didn't work either (no big surprise there) and I got the same error message with CASTLEa and CASTLEA as with CASTLE10 or above.

Has anyone got any more ideas to get around this bug? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif
