Expecting Banner Description?

[Roman_Man#3]

I have a problem. While trying to run my mod from the mod_folder, it doesnt work. I try to load a custom battle, and it ctds, saying:

The last thing I changed before this happened was trying to put EB's romans into my mod. Could that have anything to do with it?

You did repath all the text files if you made a modfolder I hope? And some need to be copied from vanilla rtw and repathed as BI draws off them.

originally it was ctding even in the RTW data folder. Could having Kaweh Ks factions symbols installed be doing something to it?

I think I may have just figured it out. The path for the faction banners just say:

models/textures/... and not
data/models/textures

So i will fix that and see how it works.


Nah it still didn't work. I have a feeling that something is missing somewhere.

The paths should be OK unless you have a weird modfolder set up...

Line 69 is about where the textures begin - compare it with vanilla and make sure the textures exist too, although it sounds like a typo in the file or something entirely missing.

Maybe you could post lines 65-70?

standard_texture models/textures/standard_julii.tga
rebels_texture models/textures/standard_slave.tga
routing_texture models/textures/standard_routing.tga
ally_texture models/textures/standard_julii_ally.tga


There is the transition from the cultures to the factions. line 69 is the faction line.

That looks like a vanilla RTW file - has it been modded at all?

I have not got a clue what you are doing in terms of modding so it's a bit hard to know where to look.

[Roman_Man#3]

Actually, I haven't modded it all. I do have another clean install, so I will put the clean files from that to the other install. Can you tell me which files/folders the banners are located in.

descr_banners.txt
models(folder)

Are there anymore?

well, you only need to refresh the models & textures which are found in the paths in the file in order to check if their absence was the problem..

[Roman_Man#3]

WOOT! I fixed it. I took out the remains of my partial attempt to insert a new culture, and it is past the expecting banner description error.

Thanks for helping Dol Guldor.

[Dol Guldur]

erm..yes that would have caused problems.
