BI: Cannot Place Rebel army to Rebel Cities!

[ShapolioKhan]

hi,

i gave all proviences of WRE to rebels except N&S Italy, Sicilia and Caralis.
i also added some rebel armies to the towns i gave rebels, game worked, but there isnt any army in my rebel towns...

suggestions?

Are you sure you were editing the right campaign? Are you sure you got the right coordinates for the armies? If yes in both cases, post the relevant segment of your descr_strat file so people can have a look at it. And use show_err (link in sig).

i am editing descr_strat.txt in the folder of "E:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\bi\data\world\maps\campaign\barbarian_invasion"

what i added to the end of rebel armies section of the file is this:

[SIZE="1"]character sub_faction berbers, Hamza, general, age 27, x 82, y 45

army
unit mountain men exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit desert cavalry exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit moorish raiders exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit mountain men exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit desert cavalry exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit moorish raiders exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

i still have the problem, any help?

[ShapolioKhan]

ok, if no one knows the answer, at least tell me if a campaing editor is avaliable for BI or not?

Most usual cause of non-appearing rebels is a typo above the rebel army section in descr_strat.

there are some errors such as having additional } or accidentally including odd characters like hitting ` instead of tab which will let game load but effectively stop it reading further down the strat file than the point where the error occured.

When you load game look at the settlements toward the end of descr_strat if the later ones are appearing as villages without buildings - when they should be towns etc. then your error is above that settlement in the file

ok, i'll look at it.

[ShapolioKhan]

checked, but couldnt find any ,, or } :(
what will i do?

[Makanyane]

can you see any villages without buildings on your campaign map? Also please confirm have all rebel armies placed in descr_strat not appeared, or just some?

If change is for otherwise unaltered BI you could upload whole descr_strat file somewhere for other people to have a look at; use any free file hosting,
http://www.filehosting.cc/index.php
etc. or your preference.

thank you for your help...

You've got the line

relative Adalwolf, none, Brinno, Gunderic, Chnonodemar, end

in the middle of your rebel armies - I think that should be at the end - try moving that to the bottom of the slave section,
i.e. just above diplomacy, and see if that works.

Also make all your new guys a 'general' and not a 'named character'
if they are a named character they'd need to be added to the relative section which would just complicate things for now.

[ShapolioKhan]

you were right..
it was that relative mistake, after i moved that line at the end, my LOVELY REBEL ARMIES appeared at map..

thank you for your help Makanye... You are one Great General!!!!
