Mundus Magnus as Imperial Campaign on Alex.exe

**Hoginator01** · 06-01-2010, 18:58

I have ported a RTW vanilla mod to Alex.exe. I have it working as a provincial campaign using the Mundus Magnus map, and the custom battles work. Now I am trying to convert the provincial campaign into an Imperial campaign. I have made what I believe are all the necessary file changes and arrangements. For example, I put all the relevant files into the alexander campaign folder, and renamed the corresponding text files accordingly. The name of the campaign in descr_strat is Alexander. I changed the alexander_regions_and_settlement_names.txt file to refer to the regions and settlements in the mundus campaign. I deleted the map.rwm file, and I replaced all the files in the base folder with the corresponding files from the provincial campaign folder.

Despite all this when I try to load the Imperial campaign map I get a KTM. Then when I exit out of the game I get the following strange error:

Line 925 is the romans_julii settlement at Etruria, the first settlement listed in descr_strat. It works fine in the provincial version of this mod, but gives me this strange error when I try to use Imperial. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this strange error?

The image I used in the above post is incorrect. The correct image is here:

??? did you also modify the "alexander regions and settlements names" too? to match the new map one? check the matching of descr_regions RGB value, faction creator, and such match with descr_strat
and made sure your "campaign_script" file are properly made...
or just delete that script line on descr_strat

1. Did you also modify the "alexander regions and settlements names" too?

1a. Yes, this file has exactly the same contents as the provincial campaign file.

2. Check the matching of descr_regions RGB value.

2a. I'm unfamiliar with RGB values, but I'll find a guide and check this as soon as possible. Then I'll provide an update on what I find.

3. Check faction creator descr_regions match with descr_strat.

3a. I found some issues here where the faction creator in descr_regions did not match that of descr_strat, but that did not fix the problem as I am still getting the same error.

4. Make sure your "campaign_script" file are properly made... or just delete that script line on descr_strat

4a. I deleted the script line in descr_strat, but that did not fix the problem as I am still getting the same error.

--------BREAK--------

The issue seems to be narrowed down to a probable issue with the RGB values, but would my provincial campaign work if it had issues with the RGB values? Remember that my provincial campaign and alexander campaign are exactly the same, and my provincial campaign currently works without issues.

By the way, thanks for your assistance! There are not enough good and knowledgeable Samaritans like you on these boards anymore.

Indeed, it's usually a mismatch of RGB colours. Are you sure you've transferred the correct descr_regions.txt?

Yes Sir, I have transfered the correct descr_regions.txt. It is a copy of the descr_regions.txt that is in the provincial campaign folder.

Would a mismatch of RGB colors not have caused my provincial campaign to get the same KTM when launched or does this only affect imperial campaigns?

Okay the RGB values match between descr_regions and map_regions concerning the province that this error message is pointing at. However, I noticed that a settlement appears to be on the coast in map_regions, and I wonder if that could be causing this problem? I apologize if that is a stupid question. My map modding skills are very newbie. A copy of the image displaying the settlement on the coast is below:

That definitely could be it. I'm not sure why it didn't cause a problem before, but try extending the purple province so that it fully surrounds the city, no need to change any of the other files.

Well spotted and I hope that solves it for you.

Well I was finally able to fix the problem. The game started loading fine after I used -noalexander. Hence, I guess it had nothing to do with the RGB colors or anything like that.
