Cannot start a new campaign
I recently wanted to get back into play RTW and tried to today. Well I can't start a new Imperial Campaign at all. I can load saved games just fine but not start a new one.
I do remember doing some modding to a few files but can't remember exactly what I did (this was about a year ago), can't find the backup files on my computer, and can't find the RTW CD's. I can find the RTW: BI one but not the original RTW.
Is there a group of files I can download to replace all the ones I could have potentially screwed up? Don't really care if I lose my saved games, I just want to start a new campaign again!
Just updated it from version 1.1 to 1.5, didn't help.
Edit: Found some backup files here and replaced the four main txt files in the Imperial Campaign folder. Still doesn't work.
Re: Cannot start a new campaign
1) You have my sympathy for loosing the disk, but how could you have been so.......intelligent to loose the most important part of a game.
2) Perhaps it has something to do with the relationship with Export_Descr_units and Descr_strat. If, lets say (I had this probelm) the rebels at the start have cretan archers on Kydonia. I made rebels incapable of having them in the "ownership" section and thus couldn't start a campaign. Perhaps you should check them. If you need any more orriginal files PM me with your e-mail.
Remember, respect you games. The CD, the Manuals, the box must all be respected. They're the only thing keeping you from loosing your sanity in this world.

Are you using -show_err in your command line (link in sig)?

REplace ALL the txt files, this can be helpfull
Re: Cannot start a new campaign
I know this was probably the first thing you looked at, but did you delete the map.rwm file for the imperial campaign? I don't know its behavior after patching, but it would explain why the saved games worked (I think) and why no new game would work.
Note---This is only an idea, hopefully someone more informed will come along.
