[Tool] EDB and DS Unit Ownership Validator by RedFox

**Makanyane** · 04-11-2009, 14:27

I've just tried on M2 - It looks like the DS versus EDU check works and the rebel factions part of the
EDB checker

the EDB checker though I don't think is picking up units as they are listed as

recruit_pool "unit name" 1 0.2 2 0 requires factions { england, hre, spain, venice, sicily, }
etc

nice tool for RTW thanks

for M2TW you do get some of those types of problems reported in the log file anyway but having info in nice compact form from this might be easier if its not too difficult to get it to work?

Yeah, the part of "recruit_pool" messes up the algorithm, since it checks for "recruit " (notice the space there). So it shouldn't work for M2TW. You should add deliberate invalid entries in the EDB and see if that makes any difference. If it does pick up the error in M2TW, then it's cool.
I don't see a reason to recompile and upload the tool to support M2TW, since I don't have M2TW and as you stated, the M2TW logfile reports those errors already.

It is meant for those who still love modding RTW, but are annoyed by crashes caused by unit ownership errors.

That may very well depend on who is using it. To give you an example of what I mean, this is how the .zip shows for me and what comes up when I double click the 'unknown' file ....

So in this case, it does not work ....
(and its the same with the other 2 validators you recently posted)

Kudos for putting in the effort, but without a beter description on how to use it its clearly not something for the everyday modder, I think ...
