year in history bug

**bilbast** · 07-03-2009, 04:57

Pontos campaign, VH/VH, no submodes, around 240bc when end turn I got 40 popups of all the years in history until 210. From there on, I stop getting the year in history popup with every new year. I am wondering if the script is working or not. Should I go back to an older saved game? Is this one corrupted? Is there a way to tell if the background script is loaded correctly?
Thank you for your kind help.

That's odd. If you load the game again and start the script, does it happen every time?

**bilbast** · 07-03-2009, 08:02

Yes it happens every time.
I loaded a previous game before the 40 popups and again I did not have year in history events.
I started a new campaign and this time the script worked fine. My question is, besides this, does it worth it keep playing this campaign or should I consider it a loss? How can I tell if the other function of the script work or not. Thanks.

Update: Also all the government buildings in my cities appear 100% damaged in my last save.
I found an old save that appears to be working right for now, I will go on with it. At last a nice challenge with Pontus on VH. Good work everyone.

You can't tell what other effects it may have, but you can see that it is actually running by checking the last commands in the console when control returns to you after ending turn. IIRC the last command will be setting the date.

Could you please upload your savegame?

Bovi, isn't 210 BC about as far as the thing is actually done. Meaning: there simply are no more pop ups for the OP to be enjoyed because they hadn't been written yet at the time of release? (On the upside EB 2 will feature an extended YIH timeline.)

Yes, 210 BC is the last. However, the years 240 BC through 210 BC should still not all pop up in 240 BC, which is what he's describing. Thanks for uploading the save, I'll download it now and see when I get the time to see what could be going wrong.
