File fiddling

[Megas Pyrrhos]

Bump. And I've just finished redoing my modifications again. Checked them over again several times. I still get a CTD when I try to start up a new campaign. It may be a Vista problem, with messing with files and everything. Below is what I added to the character_traits file (all in sequential order as well, as the file demands it). I called it the "HeterogenesIndos" trait. I may of made a typo or something like that, but I just can't find it if there is...more eyes upon what I did would help... I also included one set of the triggers already present directly above and directly below what I added in, to give hopefully some form of reference to where exactly I added the text in.

;Trait: HeterogenesIndos
; o HeterogenesIndos (1): This man is a true son of Baktria, he is a descendant of Hellenic and Indian families and has lived all his life in and around Baktria, or in parts of Hellenic India under Baktrian influence. He is less prone to be antagonistic towards either Hellenes or other Eastern peoples, and he is more likely to be accepting of outsiders. He may take after his mother's or father's side of the family when it comes to his personality, but he is more likely to be able to benefit from his relationships with both sides, though also more likely to be hated by either group for his racial mixture.

Comment out half of them. If it doesn't CTD, it's among those you commented, otherwise it's among the remaining. Then comment out all the proven good ones and half of the ones in the suspect group. Rinse and repeat.

Uh...I'm not sure I follow Tellos. I included the triggers directly ABOVE and directly BELOW what I added...to show where exactly I put everything...I'm not sure I followed your line of thought on the correlation you pointed out...

Thanks for the suggestion bovi... I guess I'll do that if all else fails.

[Megas Pyrrhos]

I guess I'll write this off as a Vista problem....I commented out everything I added in, and it still has a CTD every time. That is, if "commenting something out" involves putting a semicolon (;) in front of everything I added. Actually, one time I all I did was add in this:

and it had a CTD from just that, though without all those semicolons.

Oh well. I bet this would work on my laptop with XP as its OS, lol.

Somehow Im just not satisfied with changing the skins, I need the unit portraits to match. Can anyone advise? Can't seem to find the right file myself.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Unit portraits?

I presume you talk about the unit cards? Yes, well in that case having a peek inside the UI/UNITS and UI/UNITS_INFO folders should teach you everything you'd need to know.
