FactionType {saba}, not a valid faction type?

When I was using ATV-TW to check my ancillaries that it could not find any! But my mod still does not work.
It found many missing ";" in the trait triggers and it gave this warning : "FactionType {saba}, not a valid faction type".
As I lost my hope with the validator to correct my mod, I will handle by the classical method, trial & error.

I just wondered this code was put intentionally or the validator is correct.

P.S. my mod does not work although I get no error messages. I will go crazy!

The factiontype saba is what was the senate in vanilla. If you haven't got Saba modded into your mod, that will fail.

I get no error messages, I cannot track the errors. My mod does not open EB opens but does not enters to campaign menu.
I tried to use ATV-TW validator but it says there is no errors in ancillary files :wall:
:help:

P.S. Of course the game works when I change EDA EA with the backup. feedbacks from my mod users says it does not open even after 30 mins.

I did not mod the saba under my mod at the moment.
I only modded AS, Romani, Parthian, Makedon, KH, Baktria, Ptolemies, Pontos, Epirot ancillaries.
In my first mod I only modded romani and Parthia It works fine.

It is a trait error message from ATV-TW validator. I never touch traits cos It is hard to mod them.
So I modded ancillaries but validator says no errors with ancillary files.
and my current mod does not enter main campaign.
and no error message I get.
How can I track ancillary files for if they have any errors or not.
Otherwise I will have track each ancillary and its description one by one that means for hours! I would rather to write the codes from the beginning.

So as I was saying, you can't refer to Saba when you don't have Saba as a faction. You need to remove the references to Saba from the traits (triggers).

You can also use the trait/ancillary validation tool I made, if you like. It's part of eb.jar. Get Traits.java from that, change to point to your RTW and run it.

(That is as detailed instructions as I am going to give for it).

how can I find it can you pm me the link etc?

I can't give you a link to your own hard drive. It's part of the EB installation.

I found it but I think I need a java compiler to work it.

Although, it appears to me that the ATV validator does more than mine. You should probably run both. And it's definitely right about the Saba references. You need to remove the references to Saba from the traits (triggers).

Will try it, I checked each ancillary codes. codes had some missing "_" and "_of_" I corrected them all but nothing changes. methinks my coding module- I put each faction ancillaries in one module- is the problem. to correct it I have to sacrifice RTW competability, my solution looks likely works with BI.exe and Alex :sweatdrop:

this is the office system of BI, I hope it works with alex,too.

I am nearly hopeless that with this module my mod won't be RTW.exe competable, :wall: but will try :book:it.
