Hello,
Me and a friend are making a provincial campaign together and we split the map making in two. I did the graphical part and he is doing the text editing. When he tried to test it the game CTDed without an error message. Could someone look over this and check if there are any obvious errors?
This contains all the files
Could you please repost the link. It says file not found.
Here you go Click here
You've only got parthia and slave in descr_strat (which is fine) but you're using sub_faction britons for the rebels, they can only be sub_faction of faction that are in strat (and must use that factions name pool)
you also have lots of other factions as faction_creator in descr_regions.txt
either put more factions in descr_strat, or better idea at moment make parthia the default faction for all regions in descr_regions.txt
and map_heights.tga and ground_types and are wrong size - you forgot to add the 1 pixel to height as well - you seem to have forgotten to include the map_climates.tga which should also be same size as those.
looks like it will be nice map when done though :2thumbsup:
EDIT: and you've got rivers without sources in map_features - can't remember if that crashes on just doesn't appear - to get campaign loading just make an all black map_features to rule that out as problem....
Great, thanks for all the help
EDIT: Ok well were now getting a KBM, ive resized all the map stuff using the map creating tutorial. Now were getting an error about a problem in export_descr_buildings. This mod is for alexander.
"A script error in Alexander/GP/data/export_descr_buildings.txt line 2895 colum 2
Building DB error - faction carthage has a gap in building prior to siege_engineer"
Unfortunatley line 2895 doesnt exist as the file ends at 2894 which is the end of the doc. Carthage doesnt even appear in the alexander campaign. When my friend completly deleted carthage the same error came up for Numidia.

The game IS generating the .rwm file though.
I don't know exactly what this means. But the fact that it says that the location of the error is at the end of the export_descr_buildings probably means that the problem is in another file - probably doesn't help much, but that's all I know.
no offence, but it means exacly what it says ...;)
the error is telling that the numidian-culture (I guess cathagenian in Alex as well) can have a settlement up to huge_city according to descr_cultures, but they dont have been granted this abilty in EDB, wich the game doesnt seem to like ...
I'd just leave the ability to build core-buildings as it is, this seems to prevent the error, eventhough the faction/culture isnt used at all the error will show and prevent you to run the game if you makes differences between the culture's settlement levels and what it can really build according EDB.
It might however work if you remove additional settlement levels from descr_cultures down to the level you want that culture to stop upgrading settlements, though I'm not sure if that may work, but based on the "wall-swapping" between BI and Rome that is done for the Barbarians so they get up to stone walls I'm assuming the reverse should work, or at least is possible to engineer it so ...
edit; about the siege-building error for carthage, you need to give a faction the abilty to build all buildings previous to last building in the building-tree they can build ..
Like if you give a faction the ability to build "farms+3", they will also need to be able to build any upgrade to that building, in vanilla this means they need to be able to build also farms "farms" "farms+1" and "farms+2".

If you've made changes to EDB which involve adding carthage / carthaginian to any building they didn't have before watch out for problems, see
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=136920
for explanation of solution (found by Nikolai and other modders not me, btw)
also make sure you didn't try and give any faction (culture) bigger city in descr_strat than they should be able to build, that might cause problem too.
We are now getting a code complaining about a region that does not appear. Comrade_General has checked all region related files but everything is in order.

This region is also the first one listed.
