Changing Culture assignation?

**Monkwarrior** · 02-08-2006, 13:06

Well, I think the question is clear:
Does anybody succeded in changing the culture assignation of a faction in RTW?
I'm now in a CTD problem (no message error) and I suspect it is a problem with this change: thrace from greek to eastern in descr_sm_factions.txt. I will check deeper this night (time for modding instead of sleeping

)

I've been looking for some tutorial about this question, but I didn't find it. There is one for creating a new culture in BI but I don't know if it's the same in RTW.

I've not tried it in R:TW but BI seems to work fine - I swapped cultures months ago and all seems to be fine. Tech trees might cause a problem (I had one with sarmatian changed to carthaginian). If there's a break in the EDB upgrades for the faction it would cause a CTD - but only after clicking on the settlement.

Could you briefly indicate which files need to be modify to change the culture?

It's basically the descr_sm_factions.txt file - which is self-explanatory. But changing the culture has implications of course to do with many aspects of the game; which aspects are covered in addign a new culture - see...

At what point does the CTD occur?

The game cannot be launched. The introductory video doesn't start. (It is really a fatal error).

I've done only one experiment at the moment. I've assigned macedon to barbarian, and seleucid, thrace and numidia to eastern. I will do some additional research in the coming days (only changes one by one). I will also look at your tutorial.

But first I must solve other problems.
