error in descr_strat.txt question

Hi all,

I am modding Rome Total War. I have Barbarian Invasion, but the mod is only for RTW. I have version 1.6 patch updated, etc.

When I choose: Single Player --> Provincial Campaign --> My_Campaign I then click the arrow to select a faction. I choose the roman_julii faction and then I click the arrow to start. However, instead of starting, the game Kicks back to the previous menu (that is "choose your campaign" -- the screen before the faction selection screen).

I am using -show_err and the following message comes up:

Script Error in
data/world/maps/campaign/My_Campaign/descr_strat.txt, at line 3250,
column 2.

You have chosen an invalid tile(0, 0) for the settlement of


Unfortunately, there is no name listed after "settlement of" and I have no idea what is wrong. The other problem is that my file descr_strat.txt is exactly 3250 lines long. The line referenced in the error message is a blank line. I don't know what is happening. I have tried deleting all blank lines at the end of the text file, but the error message appears again and again, always as the last line in the file descr_strat.txt no matter what I do.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks,

cdaulepp

If line xxx is the bottom of the descr_strat file and the settlement name is not specified.

* Pixels on map_regions.tga of a colour that do not belong to any region colour specified in descr_regions.txt - watch out for merged colours when editing map_regions.tga as that is usual cause.

you've probably managed to merge some region colours accidentally when you were trying to change them. You need to find method of using your graphics package that doesn't blur edges of colours....
reply and say which 2d program you're using and we'll try and give advice.
