    Default Need Help Adding a Province

    I have followed the instructions in Burebista's (Callatian's) tutorial on making new provinces, in the official RTW Modding Forums, to the letter, and have attempted to add a new province in northern Britain (Caledonia). However, whenever i attempt to enter the campaign, the screen reverts to the main menu, and when i thereafter quit, a window appears saying that the error occured at "line 2879, column 12 of descr_strat.txt".

    This is the context of that line, the entry in descr_strat.txt of my new province:
    ____________________________________________________________
    settlement
    {
    level town
    region Caledonia

    year_founded 0
    population 800
    settlement_tax 51
    plan_set default_set
    faction_creator gauls
    building
    {
    type core_building governors_house
    }
    building
    {
    type barracks muster_field
    }
    }
    ____________________________________________________________
    And this is line 2879 (the "e" in Caledonia is in column 12):

    region Caledonia

    ____________________________________________________________
    For some reason, the game insists that something is wrong with the "e" of Caledonia, even though i have checked and double-checked and triple-checked the other associated text files.... If someone can help me, please do.


    PS:
    Here are my entries in the other two text files:
    ____________________________________________________________
    In descr_regions.txt:

    Caledonia
    Dalriada
    britons
    Brigantes
    66 124 23
    lead, dogs, pigs
    5
    4
    ____________________________________________________________
    And in imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt:

    {Caledonia} Caledonia
    {Dalriada} Dalriada

    Have you put the new region details in the descr_regions_and_settlement_name_lookup, and have you remembered to delete the map.rwm
    If you have then I'm not sure. Its a bit of a headache when it doesn't work, the only thing I can suggest is to try again from scratch just incase you've got a tab or space where there shouldn't be one. When I am adding new regions I copy and paste as much as possible as there is less chance of making a mistake

    I've got it working, just deleted the map.rwm file and it runs like a dream. *slaps face*
