Thread: EB Not Starting Due To Script Error

  1. #1

    Default EB Not Starting Due To Script Error

    Description:

    Double Click EB.exe,
    EB loading screen appears, loads for 30-60 secs,
    I hear a 'ping' noise,
    message pops up after about 15 secs "failed to open sound database",
    I hit ok,
    a new box pops up "script error in data/sounds/descr_sounds_units_ambient.txt at line 6099 column 18, mount type 'camel cataphract' not found"
    I hit ok,
    back to desktop.

    Not a clue what's going on here, any help much appreciated.

    It's not an EB script though - that's RTW. It has to be a bad install either of the game or of the mod download files. That's the first time in a few thousand downloads that I've read that problem.

    I've gotten it from messing with events.dat before (trying to customize music)

    Ah! the Generals! they are numerous, but not good for much (especially if they're Languorous)!

    Similar problem, except I now get the line

    Script Error in data/descr_event_images.txt, at line 623, column 1.

    Unknown event string faction_defeated_by_player
    Should I just try reinstalling RTW?
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    Justicar, that problem happened to quite a few people with the original version of EB. I think you are the first person to state it for .73 though. It is just a bad install or download of EB I believe. So you'll have to reinstall EB on another 1.2 version of RTW.
