How to convert a RTW1.0-1.2 map to 1.3

**IceTorque** · 12-05-2005, 12:08

I think the export_descr_buildings needs to be edited.
by changing ct_carthage to carthage and numidia.
Also make sure that the factions to be selected and played all have an entry in data/text/campaign_descriptions
Also in descr_strat you may need to comment out this line. 'settlement_tax' for all settlements.

Ice Torque This is just a small guide to make a 1.2 or earlier map compatable with 1.3 not making it compatable with BI.

data/text/campaign_descriptions, that file is BI only. I notice I had left the settlement_tax in but apparently v1.3 will accept that.

As for the export_descr_buildings This can have an effect where a mod edited this file. The good part is it should still conbvert your map but the game won' load up the campaign properly.

If a faction in RTW v1.3 does not have an entry in data/text/campaign_descriptions it will CTD when selected.

In me own experience, that is not all you have to do... I had to create a .hgt file too, and even then I'm still cannot open the map (Problems with runnig settlement scripts, messed up maps but that might be beacuse of the hgt converter....)

Your right Andreas Theres a whole lot to it. But if you used the same map from vanilla RTW the the .hgt files will work because it has the same outline. Anyways the 1.5 patch seems to take out the factor of needing an HGT file(possibly). Also IMO it's easier to mod a map first using vanilla to start with, that way if theres something wrong you can pinpoint the problem quicker. Then start throwing in the modded files, at least this way you have a backupup of a campaign map that works with vanilla.

I needed to create a new HGT file for our map... I didn't get one from 1.2....

Anyway, I solved the settlement script error (you needed to have rome as a resource in Rome.... wasn't needed with 1.2)
