Making a new campaign map.

[Killy]

Does anyone know what this error means or what I should do:

Region of settlement not valid.No match in descr_regions.txt
Killfrica
at line 517

I tried to add in a new region called killfrica and my game crashes back to the provincial campaign menu when I try load it.

The most obvious reason seems like you did not document the region properly in the desc_regions.txt file. Remember, when creating a new region you must.

Create a new unique color value.

Create a new listing in desc_regions.txt (I generally just copy and paste an exitsing one and add my regions colors, region name, and settlement name.)

Add this region to a faction in desc_strat.text (again copy and paste helps)

Add the region name and settlement name to (your campaign)_names_and_settlement_lookup.txt file.

Also, your error message lists a line. Go to the desc_regions.txt file, hit Command+G and type in that line #. If it takes you to the bottom of the page, it means you do not have the region listed in the document.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help ramashan but it still wont work and ive checked the details so many times.I think some of my files were corrupted when i copied rome so i wouldnt have to reinstall it.

Hey i got it to work

i didnt have a port in the map but one in the buildings

[Killy]

Could someone make a list of files I need to edit to make an island.I've tried a couple of times but it won't work.I think I'm missing one or two

Are you adding the island to map_regions, map_heights, and map_ground_types?

Also, as per my last helpful hint, if your adding a new region you must also change the files I mentioned in my previous post.

Yeah, the port thing as bitten me several times. Just odd that it didn't say 'port' or building in your error message.

Yeah i added it in them but ill try again.I fixed my old error,the port thing was a new one
