Hello.
Hope you dont mind answering some bug tracking questions. My campaign is all done, map images and all that. I just need to track some bugs down and I think you might be able help me there.
Single player campaign...
Scripts and images.
I have a script thats failing to show up in the campaign select screen. I assume its because of an error in my script and not because of any error on in the images. I have been working on the theory that the images are not processed at this stage so any error must be a script error. Is this assumption correct ?
It helps me eleminate the images as the source of the error at this stage.
2) I have assumed that the strategic map can be made any size and doesnt have to be the same size as the original ones. Is this correct ?
3)Setborder coordinates.
I read Gils post that they redundant. Do they still need to be included in the strategy campaign files and if they...
a)do will any 4 figure number do ?
b)do not can i omit the entries for them completely ?
4)Popes.
My campaign doesnt contain any pope faction.
Would this cause my script to fail to show up ?
5)Golden Hords.
My script doesnt contain any golden horde faction. Would this cause my script to fail to show up ?
6)Regional links.
Assuming im using the orginal strategic map for a moment. If i linked Norway to Egypt directly would useds in norway beable to move directly to egypt and if so would the same idea work for sea regions ?
7)Sea region border coordinates on my map are set to the center of the sea region. Which means the same entry is used multiple times for the same region and its borders with other regions (land and see), would this cause me any problems ?
8)I moved all the original campaign textures into a backup folder called campmap2 within the original Medieval Total War\Textures\ folder. On the campaign select screen i still see a mini image of the original strategic map as found in Medieval Total War\Textures\campmap. Is there a mini map at some other location that the game requires that i must replace or is hardcoded into the exe ?
I hope you can answer these for me. I want to cut down the list of possible errors that is preventing me from being able to test the campaign out.
I am assuming the error must be script based and I am assuming no image errors will occure on the campaign select screen. My theory is that image errors will only appear once the player tries to launch the campaign.
EG the game doesnt check the coordinates at are correct until the map is loaded and the campaign as begun.
IF this is true i can concentrate on the campaign script as the source of the error. Though it looks correct to me.
