I was just wondering if anyone would be able to help me with a prob I have with EB?

I just dled the mod and every time I try to run the game I get this Script Error message:

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

Unknown event string faction_defeated_by_player

Any help would be great,

Cheers,

Scott.

You need to make sure the 1.2 patch is installed correctly. Would I be right in guessing that you've tried to install it and it said it was already installed? If so, there's your problem. Go to www.europabarbarorum.com and download the zipped patch, that bypasses the bugged installer.

Besides, it's not really a scripting issue anyway...

This is a known problem with an improper install or bad install. Ensuring you have 1.2 installed is part of the solution, absolutely. Kull posted a long list of steps to follow before now, I'll see if I can find it.

It was in this thread.

1) Uninstall RTW from your machine (lets start with a clean slate)
2) Install RTW (vanilla) and start the game to make sure it works. That means you can begin a normal RTW game.
3) Install the 1.2 patch. Start the game and make sure you see the 1.2 on the start up screen and can begin a normal RTW game.
4) If you have room on your hard drive, I'd recommend copying the entire 1.2 directory and renaming the copy something like "Rome - EB.72". That way if something gets messed up in the next few steps, you don't have to keep reinstalling RTW, just delete the EB directory and make a new copy.
5) Install EB v.72. Launch the game from the desktop icon. If it works, move on to step #6. If it crashes download a new EB v.72 (from a different host) and repeat steps 4 & 5.
6) Install EB v.74 on top of v.72. DO NOT install the "High Priority" icon!! Start the game and make sure you see the EB v.74 on the start up screen. By now it's either working or it crashed. If it crashes, download a new EB v.74 (from a different host) and repeat steps 4, 5, & 6.

Let us know how this goes.

Well I've reinstalled everything and I'm no longer getting that script warning. Instead now it starts up, gets to the Europa Barbarorum intro screen with the world map in the background and it just stops there until I eventually hit ESC to get out of it.

Any idea what's wrong?

Cheers,

Scott.

A properly installed EB on top of a clean version of RTW with only 1.2 installed (no other mods), will not have any errors upon loading or exiting the game, before you have actually played. There are a few you will encounter during play, but if the download worked correctly and the installation worked correctly, and there were no leftovers in the RTW directory from previous installations or other mods, you would be able to play.

So whenever anyone runs into a problem like this, I recommend going through the steps above. No one has ever solved a pre-being-able-to-play bug by any method other than a reinstall, and most importantly, deleting the leftovers from old installations between uninstalling and reinstalling. This is especially important if you have had any mods other than EB installed, or any version of RTW installed other than 1.2.

I have Barbarian Invasion installed. Could that hamper it?

Are you installing on top of your BI install? Because that will mess it up for sure. Make sure you are installing to your RTW folder with version 1.2, not any other version or any changes or mods ect, and it should work for you.

For some reason, my romans get the warmonger trait, then they get they the sated warmonger trait, but after a few more battles, he gets the warmonger trait and the sated warmonger trait at the same time. I think this might be a bug in that they're not set as anti-traits of each other?

Also, for some reason the hesitant attacker trait pops up a little too often i think. I mean he didnt hesitate to attack 12 battles, and then he hesitated in one battle and he got the trait.
