it seems the desync bugs have been fixed but we now have been seeing perplexing CTD's before we get to the battlemap.
A number of theories now exist as to why,
chiefly being:-
1. router to router error's.
2. FN_07 must be pagan (has not been)
3. missing files regarding mongol faction
4. missing files regarding "mongol" units
5. error in unit prod file
6. error in startpos file
7. Too many factions
8. mix 'n' match exe's and mount's
For errors 1, 4, 5 & 6, i can find nothing wrong or missing with their files.
For error 7 - i hope that is not the cause, but will test that later.
So at the moment we will focus on error candidates 2, 3 and 8 (the easy ones)
the download contains 2 sets of startpos/unit and build prod files,
(the readme tells you where they need to go - they can co-exist)
0715 = MONGOLS AS PAGAN religion (and Mongol units assigned PAGAN religion)
0716 = AMAKO have Mongol Units only (and Mongol Faction Deactivated)
- Install a clean version of Medieval Total War,
>- patch that to 2.01 (CD or DVD versions)
>- USE a genuine exe file for The Correct Type
> daemontools can help if you need to BUT make sure if you have DVD version that you have the DVD mount
> do NOT mix the installation, exe's & mounts between CD/DVD versions - all must be the same
>- the GOLD DVD edition 2.01 patch is here...
>- the hassle free CD edition 2.01 patch is here...
- the PAINFULL registry linked CD edition 2.01 patch is here...
>- Install Mod Version beta 8.0
>- and then ALL files in the mongol_religion_unit_tests.zip download,
> they will not interfere with each other,
> nor do they disrupt anything else.- HIGHLY recommend NO OTHER MODS or ADD-ONS (not even the sound add-on)
I will not be able to be online until thursday night 2000 UK GMT (2100 daylight saving time),
my time will be strictly limited - I expect to have to leave around 2200 GMT
ALL are welcome to try these out in Single Player,
I am hoping that you guys can organise some testing - even 3 people is enough to cause a CTD.
