Not if he's using Vista. At least that was my problem when I modified the character_traits.txt file. Wouldn't tell me what had gone astray. Still couldn't get it to work right, even after I commented out everything I added.

Re: question: changing unit points
i don't use Vista (yet - maybe never, as i heard about it...). this is what happens:
1 - run EB.
2 - the monitor opens the typical EB opening screen
3 - after some seconds it comes back directly to desktop (ctd).
another question:
how can i paste s file to these posts? so i could show you how the modified EDU.txt file is...
i tell you guys, i am sure i typed all the changes correctly: no spaces, no capital letters, no errors in the words, no wrong positions ...

Re: question: changing unit points
it could probably be just a typo, in the EDU they often cause errorless CTDs (I'm balancing the EDU for another mod and one day I've lost 2 hours due a stupid typo)
Re: question: changing unit points
In other words, Vista sucks a fatty one.
Anyways.
The -show_err switch in the desktop shortcut should give you an error-message box in the case of a CTD caused by a mistake in the files themselves. That's very useful for tracking down those pesky little syntax errors and typos that render something nonfunctional, so you should try that.
...
...although, do you still *get* that shortcut with all the appropriate switches with 1.1 ? I don't remember.

Re: question: changing unit points
well, ... i tried to apply this -show_err switch,
and it seems ('seems' because i don't know if i applied the switch in the proper place) to redirect me to the EBTrivialScript.exe icon (into the EBTrivialScript folder).
i clicked on this icon, and it answered 'row: 0 Description: Failed to open file '.
what does it mean?

Re: question: changing unit points
Where it's supposed to go is a desktop shortcut whose "target" (or whatever it's called in English) line should read something likeand then run the game through that.Code:"C:\[path of RTW main folder]\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb -show_err

Re: question: changing unit points
hi. my desktop shortcut is like this: (at 'destination')
"C:\Documents and Settings\... \Rome - Total War - EB 1.1\EBTrivialScript\EBTrivialScript.exe" -s ebconfig.xml -runeb -type "Single Player"
i enclosed the s.c. how_err
and it is like this now:
"C:\Documents and Settings\...\Rome - Total War - EB 1.1\EBTrivialScript\EBTrivialScript.exe" -s ebconfig.xml -runeb -type "Single Player" -show_err
it now works with the original EDU.TXT, but NOT with the modified, and, moreover, the show_er does not appear...
qhat to do?
another question: when i modify EDU.TXT, should I put this file both in the DATA folder, sp EDU game folder, MP edu game folder?
thanks...

Re: question: changing unit points
Just make a shortcut of the vanilla RTW.exe with the switches mentioned above and run the game through that.
And, yes, the Trivialscript overwrites the EDU in the Data folder with the one in the "sp edu backup" folder.
