Possible CTD Source

I guess I know what I'll be doing tonight...

Ok, I played this out right before I went to work. I moved Ptolemaios a bit north and hit 'end turn' (a bad CharacterTurnEnd trigger would take effect almost immediately). I didn't have a CTD. The AI turns started, I got attacked, autoresolved, and had a CTD afterwards during the AI turn. I didn't have a chance to fully examine the output of Filemon, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with the Olympics. I'll take another look at the dump tomorrow. From what I recall, it was full of more "file not found" error messages.

I will investigate the chances for Olympic victory, though. They may be too low.

Well at least its good that the olympics aren't bugged. Strange, I'll have to look at it more myself.

I didn't say that.

I'll have to do some calculations to figure out the probabilities.

My mistake.

Ok, here are the probabilities:

They probably need increasing.

Thank you Thank you Thank you for putting me onto this bug!

Eureka!

This in Data\text\export_VnVs.txt:

Code:

{Seleukid_Olympionikes_effects_desc}

causes CTDs when you win the Olympics.

This:

Code:

{Seleukid_Olympionikes_effects_desc}
+1 Influence

Does not.

I had tested it all a long time ago, but since then we'd done special messages for each faction, and somehow I left out the effects for every single trait (well, with the way I generated them, if one was messed up, they all were). This is not something I wrote for my validation program to catch (I didn't even know it would CTD), so now I need to add something else to that.

Anyway, if you add that second line everywhere you have Olympionikes_effects_desc} in that file (just do a search for the bold text there), you shouldn't have any more CTDs from winning the Olympics.
