KOTF mod

[econ21]

Anyone think any of the mini mods on the LTC site will do us any good?

The mini-mod you linked to is interesting - especially increased movement for agents (they crawl in M2TW) - but I agree it changes too much.

Personally, I think it would be best to stick to plain LTC. The mod is very polished (it's a gold version) and in its final form (Lusted is working at CA). Mini-mods will introduce some risk of instability, as they tend to be more works in progress. After player apathy, instability is the worst nightmare for a PBM (one thing that has put me off EB for a PBM - many players report getting so far and then get a crash they cannot go beyond). With the mini-mod for RTR that we used in WotS, IIRC we encountered a crash issue that fortunately we could work around but by the end were using an outdated version of the mod that was not available for download. It was worth using that mini-mod for the in-game Roman ranks, but since then we have developed our own ideas for ranks and titles.

I had almost everything working fine and now when I launch the campaign, I'm taken back to the Campaign Selection screen.

Seems there is a conflict caused by descr_strat. So I'm now doing a bit of retro-engineering to find the cause of the problem...

It's not the coding, it's the QA that's the hard bit... hopefully you'll the bugs.

Still working on it but it doesn't look good... Even when following the step by step guide...

Any people with modding experience are welcome to lend me a hand...

You could try asking Factionheir for a hand - he was very able and helpful with kotrfix. You could also try to entice him to join us while you are at it...

I can look at it if you can't find a real modder, but I can only offer enthusiasm as opposed to experience.

FH is philosophically opposed to Securom last I heard (too bad, I'd love to have him...) but he could certainly help with the mod if so inclined. I can take a look at it, although I'm not a great modder. I do have some programming experience, I'm guessing some really tiny problem is causing your crash, it always seemed to be a single line or punctuation that crashed our programs in school.
