CTD with traits... Why?

[SSJVegetaTrunks]

For Inca: Total War, I am testing our "Intelligence" trait. I made the faction leader of the Brutii start with one of the levels of the traits, too. However, any time I go to the leader's trait screen, or I get to the end of the turn where I get a new character (since that's when they get the trait), it crashes to the desktop. I hope I'm using -show_err right, because it isn't working correctly. No error message at all. Any idea what could be wrong?

Sounds like two different errors, the first, when you look at the leaders character screen, is caused by a missing/mistyped entry in export_VnVs.txt. The second sounds like you have two triggers with the same name, this will cause an errorless CTD when they trigger. Both of these issues are covered in the trait/ancillary guide (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=91312).

Thank you very much.

Gah, it's still not working. The trait line was created by another member of Inca, I found a few problems, and fixed them, but now I'm getting CTDs. I'll just copy the code, please tell me what I did wrong.

I have no idea what's wrong. I attempted to rename the traits and everything, but it still isn't working correctly. Also, does the Trait Validator in the Scripitorium work correctly? It keeps saying that AssassinCatcher is the last trait.

Gah! How did I miss that? Thank you very much!

However, Squid said there were two problems... I'll fix that and test it, hopefully that will fix all of it.

EDIT: No change... Here's one of the lines in descr_strat, just in case I messed it up here instead.
