EB 1.2 MINI MOD PACK!

@Dan Grr:

May I ask you how you did solve this problem?
I encountered exactly the same error today...

**Ferromancer** · 02-08-2009, 02:07

In the EDU:

Replace:
roman_infantry_cohorsevocata_cohorspraetoriana
with:
roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria_evocata

replace:
roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria
with:
roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria_evocata

delete line:
officer roman_eagle

That's a temporary solution to get you playing again. The real problem lies with something screwed up in the unit models.

Thanks a lot, Ferromancer!

I'd already given up hope to solve this problem without reinstallation (which would be terrible cause I'm just 2 provinces away from the win conditions with the Qart'hadastim and also have a Getai campaign in the 220s thats giong pretty smooth).

I'll try this immediately.

EDIT:

Tried to change the entries just to find out they already contain the changes you recommended.

What the hell have I done to my installation?
I remember nothing big, I only changed the number of arrows for the nuraghi from 15 to 20 and other rather 'cosmetical' changes.
And I definitly didn't change anything concerning soldier models or officers.

So ... sorry to be pesky again:
Is there something else I can do?

To give you a bit more information - I don't have vanilla EB 1.2, I installed some of the minimods too as I mentioned here.
Note: I didn't install the sweboz fix cause I didn't notice it before installation.
And afterwards I was not sure if it would not mess up my installation.

make sure those fixes are applied to the EDU in your data folder as well as the one in the sp game backup folder.

**Shadowwalker** · 02-08-2009, 17:27

Hmmm...
followed your advice and checked the EDU in the sp backup too.
In that EDU I was able to replace the 2 mentioned lines (roman_infantry...) but didn't find any entry "officer roman_eagle".
Strange.

I still get the CTD during game start. No CTD would have surprised me cause I had to edit the EDU in the EB/data folder to get the changes to the unit stats. Seems as if your (to mention it again: fantastic) "EB for BI"-mod relies on that EDU rather than the one in the sp backup folder. So it's unlikely that the game crashes because a wrong entry in an unused EDU...
But after all I'm still somewhat noobish in editing the game.

I seriously think about uninstalling Eb und do a reinstall with less minimods.
Maybe it helps since I always had a rather stable game before I installed all these tiny enhancements. And except for your BI mod, the city mod and the RS textures I don't need any further improvements.

But of course thanks again for your time and helping hand.

Oh, didn't mention it for a long time - please excuse any misspelling or grammar mistakes. I'm not as good at speaking/writing english as I should be.

what if you reinstall the mod pack?

**Shadowwalker** · 02-08-2009, 22:03

Hi Lz3,

don't take it personally, I really like the modpack (I mentioned this iirc) but I'm a little bit frustrated to lose 2 good campaigns (in the Qart'hadastim one the Casse even invaded the mainland...) to an persisting CTD. And since I never had these problems when I had only EB vanilla, citymod and EB for BI installed I have come to a decision.

But I will not touch the installation yet, no uninstalling, no reinstalling. I just play Reconquista (that german mod for M2TW... a really fantastic one btw) and calm down a bit.
Maybe when I think about it in one or two weeks again I have changed my mind and make a complete installation again (your modpack included).

Perhaps i have the solution, in the descr_battle_model some files are not correctly named.
Search for:
Roman infantry - Cohors Evocata / Cohors Praetoriana
and
Roman infantry - Cohors Imperatoria

Then look at the names for 'texture' and 'model_flexi_m' they should be the same as the file names in the following folders:
eb/data/models_unit/textures/
and
eb/data/models_unit/

So for example the following line in the descr_battle_model is linked to the following file:
model_flexi_m eb/data/models_unit/EBUNIT_PROME_NEW_UNIT_ROMAN_LegioneAugustea_high.cas

But in the eb/data/models_unit/ folder the file name is as followed:
EBUNIT_PROME_NEW_UNIT_ROMAN_LEGIONEAUGUSTEA_HIGH.CAS

So if both names are the same, no changes has to be made in the export_descr_unit file

The only line that has to be deleted in that file is:
officer roman_eagle

I hope this works.

hey, guys, how do you get rid of formation mini-mod? i dont like all the units being on guard mode by default. i have also noticed that AI doesnt cope very well and always leaves some units behind which leaves the rest of the army isolated and cut to pieces. not sure though whether that caused by formations... but these "reserves" seem to very rarely engage...

Go to the original Lysander13 thread... there's a link in my main post. =)
