Rebel CTD

[AntonineWall]

I've encountered a strange problem with rebels in Spain in my Romani campaign. 2 rebel armies have apppeared, one to the north of Arse (top name for a city btw) and one to the south. Any time I try to engage these armies I have an immediate ctd. I have tried taking the FM out of the attacking stack, auto calc and switching off the background script but always the same result.

Any ideas? How would I just use the console to move the rebels if all else fails.

Or I could just ignore them and take the long route throught the mountains, but that would offend my Roman manhood.

You open the console with the key right left of the "1" the "~"
Type into the console move_character "Captain NAMEOF" 2,2
The Name is the name on the campaign-map, if it does not work see the names list in the data directory
You can get other points to move to by typing show_cursorstat into the console.
Did you apply the fixes?

Thanks XS. And yes I've applied all the fixes. Still getting rebel crashes so I'll just teleport them.

Back with this problem. Still crashing at the start of rebel battles. Tried the move_character but each time I try I get "character not found".

Where do I find the data list and how do I get into it. You should understand my computer savvy extends to switching it on and hoping for the best.

Hi,
could you kindly upload a save-game, how is described here

The file containing the names is located here: Rome - Total War\EB\Data, search for "descr_names.txt"

Inside you find a list of all possible names used by EB. You should find your Captain at the bottom of this list, under "faction: slave"

But please do also upload you save-game!

EDIT: Please do also check that in the main-menu the version 1.2 is showed.

Thanks XS. Save game is at http://ul.to/i2twpb , I hope it has been uploaded properly. The rebels causing the problem are both stacks in Spain and both in North Africa. Had no problems other than this. The 1.2 version is definitely shown and I loaded all the 1.2 fixes at first install.

As far as moving characters go do I just go for the nearest similair name on the slave list?

Thanks again mate, it's really quite amazing how much time you guys are prepared to put into helping idiots like myself.

With my clean and fixed 1.2 I'll can engage those rebels without CTD (Captain Akbar, Tuateros blabla,Captain Tydeidis).

IIRC the sprite fix for 1.2 was about Iberian troops, so try to install them another time. Are mini-mods installed?

If it does not work, upload a updated save and I'll can kill them for you.

Many thanks mon brave. I've loaded up the sprite fix again and will fire it up tonight.

If you never hear from me again you can presume i have been bested by the rebels and have skulked off to die of shame!

[AntonineWall]

YES!!! It works like a dream. Not a single crash all night.

Thanks again XS.
