happened the same to me

I don't know, but maybe this could help some of you. Perhaps it's the fault of an improper script?

http://generalscollective.com/forums...hp?topic=376.0

I tried downloading it; it didn't work. Perhaps we ought to generate another script.

The script file isnt good, ive made a new one...also the export_descr_advice files inst good...so when i get a good file i´ll start the game.

This is getting ridiculous... I have to leave in 10 days, I think I may have to withdraw officially if this doesn't start... now

Alright, listen up. I am guessing that my script only worked because I used the proper export_descr_advice.txt file. You might be using a wrong version. UltraWar, PLEASE check your email.

Mine works, I don't know what your going wrong or changing but mine works with what Myrddraal posted on the site.

Yep, its the export_descr_advice.txt that causes my RTW to crash, when i use another RTW exporti_descr_advice.txt it runs perfectly...please send me your export_descr_advice.txt silverrusher or glaucus and ill get the game going in no time.

Wait till half time. I'm watching England vs Sweden (go England!)

I haven't had time to make completely sure that this works, but it should. In this script, you have to double click on a settlement and then click the ? button for it to work.

Go Go GO!!!!

cool! ill go into it asap! Expect the game starting today or tommorrow!

Great!

Check your PM´s Silver

What script are we using?

It Works Muahahahhaha! I had so many files missing...arf..., many thks to Silverrusher and GeneralSun (his own forum was very helpfull), I´ve sent the quicksave to Luigiman, by later then today i´ll be sending it to General Sun.

Game started!

Err crash at game startup? I know I installed everything correctly. Just like I did for my other campaign.

I have the new advice file from silver... Got the all factions from Rick... Got the hotseat file from Spain... What else do i bloody need?

Edit: WTF is going wrong.... I've isolated the crash to the advice file, even silver's version didn't work. So I used mine from my other campaign. That's all dandy, So I boot up the game, go in play my turn, hit end turn, and it saves. But the thing doesn't bloody stop! It just keeps going and going and going... IT cycles through everyone's turns (which I don't get to see btw), and loops infinitly for all I know. Now the damn thing was saved before it went through everyone's turns but I can't promise you that this isn't a messed up version. I'll send it, but likely it's to be very wrong. I've never experienced thsi before. Anybody else?

Now General_Sun ... you see why I was annoyed when this happened to me?

I am now guessing what has happened already

OMG...but i tested it...i went trough every factions turns and it was running smoth....Sun and Ultra, question do you guys get to check what i posted for the unblocable factions for 1.5 RTW vanilla? maybe it bugs the scrip if all players dont have the same descr_srtat.txt and campaign_srtat.txt

RickFGS... i downloaded the files you pointed a link to so it should work perfect for me

I´ve tried the quicksave general sun sent and its macedons turn, after its egypt..its working fine..i see no problem...i sugest Sun you play your turn again and download the files i posted in the link please...

It should go smoth then Ultra, pls test the save sun posted and check if it works for you to....

-If Motion 6.10 gets passed, Bononia can be renamed Verginia in-game
-It works on savegames that were saved before the preferences file was changed
-The savegame will still work if the recipient of it has not changed the preferences file AND the settlement will still be renamed.

TinCow, all you need to do is:
1. Go to Activision/Rome - Total War/Preferences/Preferences.txt
2. Use Ctrl+F to find this line: EDIT_SETTLEMENT_NAMES
3. Change it from FALSE to TRUE
4. Save
5. Open up the campaign, double click on Bononia and then double click on the settlement name. You will now be able to edit the name, click the tick when done

econ21, sorry to keep bothering you, but please remove the note from motion 6.10. Plus, I seconded motions 6.6 and 6.7 in my first in-character post, it seems to be important as both these motions have 1 seconder each.

should we allow this? It could add variety to the game...

wouldnt it creat even more confusion erhh? but whatever

Here´s the script and advice.txt im using...put it in your RTW guys http://www.filefactory.com/?0ae337

Why not? It doesn't require any download of mods or anything.

I used your rapidshare files rick. With the renames and everything. Your filefactory doesn't make any bloody sense. Where's the bloody download button?

I know, I try downloading, it just doesn't download.

if I remember correctly youhit free then wait a min, then the link will apear ro download.

Guys...you have to wait till the timer runs out then press the:
"Don't want a premium download? Click here to access our free download links."

Highlighted in orange stars above!!

PS beat you to the punch Rick... by seconds

Then chose HTML download also highlighted with orange stars above.

he he he...yeah thks man.. ;) But ill beat you in the game muahhaha

I have the script right, but I can't activate it"
