pay close attention to exactly when your campaign crashes and if you are getting a new map.rwm or not, then look for that symptom in that thread.


descr_regions_and_settlement_name_lookup.txt isn't actually used if you've got RTW patched to 1.5 or BI 1.6

having too many names, or even duplicated names in
<<Campaign_name>>_regions_and_settlement_names.txt
doesn't hurt - in fact it can be safer to just add new stuff to bottom of that one.


if you've re-done the family trees make sure the names are exactly right and that you've taken them from the right faction / gender section of descr_names.txt --- wrong names will make it crash without error message
There's also The modder's Guide to CTDs. Both of them have a wealth of information (but, obviously, don't remove the human errors.)

I didn't think about character name issues - but those should always be checked.


luke_liddle:

I don't know if you commented anything out of the files, but not all of the files use ";" as a comment marker - the file in data/text uses "¬ " instead.
