Script Error my ear!

[SRMacPherson]

problem: during debugging recieve a Constant CTD. Solution: reinstall game and renew all new campaign files from backup.

new problem:
Script error in data/world/maps/campaign/achaeron_campaign/descr_regions.txt line 1, column 1
couldn't find 'Culzean in string table.


I had never recieved this error during the previous installation of the game. I had debugged my way through the desc_regions file and was starting the debugging of my desc_strat file when I was getting my unexplained CTDs.

Nothing else changed, yet now RTW can no longer locate this region in my "string table"

Checking through my related files
(decr_regions_and_ settlement_name_lookup.txt; achaeron_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt; desc_regions.txt)
Its all there right at the top.

achaeron_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt:
{Culzean} (3 tabs) Culzean


decr_regions_and_ settlement_name_lookup.txt:
Culzean

desc_regions.txt:
Culzean
Culzean
romans_senate
Chaos
255 6 11
wine, dogs, pigs
5
10

the RGB is the same as in the regions targa and the region and city are the same in the desc_strat. Just as they all were before.

WHY is it not finding this region/city anymore?
WHAT is the string table?

and why did I have to make half my maps a solid colour JUST to get from CTD to the debugging stage?

Maybe you could try making the province and city names different? Sometimes there is a conflict with them or with others that you didn't know about. I had a problem with the Brigantes tribe for my mod and I fixed the entry to be Tribus_Brigantes and it worked.

Best of luck!

[QUOTE=dclare4]Maybe you could try making the province and city names different?

Renamed "Culzean" to "Empire" across the board.

Repeat the same error message, only replace "Culzean" with "Empire"

What exactly is this "String Table" it is referring to?
I had assumed that it was the Campaign_names_and_regions files. The lookup file and the one that sits in the /data/text dir.

again, prior to the fresh install, it made no difference to the game that many of my cities had the same name as the region. So long as all the files contained the correct spelling.

The String table is constructed by connecting identifers with strings. This is so that you can have different language versions of province names for example. You are missing nessecary entries (since you don't have an entry for the province and the settlement) and s o you get a missing string table entry.

[SRMacPherson]

again, I have re-written the three region files and updated the desc_strat file as required.

All the regions that shared the same name as the city now look like so:

achaeron_campaign_regions_and_settlementnames.txt:
{The_Empire} Culzean
{Culzean} Culzean
{Abarraden} Abarraden
{Abarraden_town} Abarraden
{Secker} Secker
{Secker_town} Secker
etc.

descr_regions_and_settlement_name_lookup.txt:
The_Empire
Culzean
Abarraden
Abarraden_town
Secker
Secker_town
etc.

descr_regions.txt
The_Empire
Culzean
romans_senate
Chaos
255 6 11
wine, dogs, pigs
5
10

Abarraden
Abarraden_town
romans_julii
Chaos
62 6 250
pottery, timber, dogs, pigs
5
9

Secker
Secker_town
romans_julii
Chaos
195 250 10
timber, textiles, dogs, pigs
5
8

Still I receive this message:
"Die you insolent program!"

oh wait, no, thats just what I scream.

I recieve this error message:
"Script Error in data/world/maps/campaign/achaeron_campaign/desc_regions.txt line 1, column 1
Couldn't find 'The_Empire' in string table"

three changes in a row, there has to be something utterly stupidly glaringly obviously simple we're missing here.

and my map problems are a whole other thread for the future.

I hate to even write this but since we've all been guilty of it...did you remeber to delete the map.rwm?

every time.
unless there is another popping up elsewhere, but I havn't found it.


before my re-install, my debugging went smoothly (as soon as I removed half my maps) to a point. it had previously debugged through the region files only to crash three repairs into the descr_strat.txt file.

[tommh]

Your problem is in your [your mod here]regions_and_settlement_names.txt file. First off the internal name of your settlement and region cannot be the same (although the display name can be). It's best if they're different. That being the case the region_and_settlement_names.txt file needs two lines one for the region and one for the settlement i.e.:

achaeron_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt :
{Culzean} (3 tabs) Culzean
{Culzean_settlement} (3 tabs) Culzea town


then your other entries should look like this:

in decr_regions_and_ settlement_name_lookup.txt (this needs both entries as well):

Culzean
...
Culzean_settlement

and in desr_regions

Culzean
Culzean_settlement


Hope this helps. Don't understand your map problem. Maybe you could give a little more info?
