Thread: descr_lbc_db.txt

    Default descr_lbc_db.txt

    Hi, I recently chanced upon this small file, descr_lbc_db.txt.

    It has a list of faction names with models, but I do not know what is the use of those models. I have mostly changed all my descr_model_battle.txt models, so most of those models in the descr_lbc_db.txt are not in use.

    Does anyone now what is the use of the descr_lbc_db.txt file and will it affect my mod in any way - i.e. should I delete those obsolete model lines or how should I change the model lines?

    As you would see if you looked at a mod, this file designates the "peasant" models (in DMB) which are used in the battlemap view when using the city zoom feature. They are assigned by percentage. The game will CTD if you use this feature and the model is not defined in dmb. I'm guessing LBC stands for living battlemap city or some such thing. The sound files designate them as "living cities" anyway.

    The game will also CTD (no error) if the model is a undefined model in DMB.

    If both defined and undefined models in dmb will cause a CTD, should I just remove all of the models.
    =D I'm glad I asked about this, because I was wondering why my game CTD when I accidentally clicked the city zoom feature.

    I have another separate issue to ask. Squid, I downloaded the ATVTW - Trait/Ancillary Validator you uploaded under this link http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=2657. But I always receive the application error - application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). What should I do to activate the file properly?
    The files ATVTW.exe and TWLibrary.dll are placed in a separate folder from RTW.

    Type on my part it should have read undefined model, which it will in a second.

    As for ATVTW, do you have .Net 3.5 installed and are both files in the same location?

    Oh, I didn't know .Net 3.5 was required as it wasn't stated in the description. I've dl it, and your program worked, thanks a lot!
