ATW map CTD! Help!

Well now it works right up to the point the loading bar reaches the VERY END of the bar... WHY?

the torment...

This is the area of the map. Would that cause any problems?

Couldn't think of CTD for end of loading bar - but just found one whilst looking for something else.
attempting to play as faction that still has
dead_until_resurrected
line in descr_strat does it. But I'm sure that would be too much of a co-incidence!

Any one else got any ideas???

I don't think its landmass, map_regions problem, rivers or invalid generals names, they all crash out of campaign selection screen or at least earlier.
Problems with radar_maps CTD's about 3/4's way down bar.

The guide to CTD's lists

Campaign Map Loading CTDs:
- The game is loaded but the screen is centered onto a buggy region (see the campaign map scrolling CTDs),

which sounds like it might be at end of bar.

I had one before while I was editing the BI map, I could never find a cause for that either. Should I post the files?

You might as well post it, it probably needs some-one with TE to look at it properly though (assume you're still working on that version). I definitely can't load that as my computer is quietly having indigestion in the background working out how I can possibly re-arrange partitions / programs to get enough space for another version of RTW/BI to try out ArthurianTW - Note to self: must figure out how that mod switcher program works eventually!

On the theme of compatability you could try minimising possible problems in strat, take out all leaders traits, etc except faction leader / heir, make every settlement village, reduce population and remove buildings, and simplify all armies to 1 / 2 units you know exist in EDU. Don't know how complex your descr_strat is to know if that is feasible.

OK, I'll continue mapping tommorrow. I think I may recode it for vanilla.

**Byzantine Emperor** · 09-07-2006, 16:20

I have recoded it for vanilla, and minimized descr_strat, but no help. Still precisely the same CTD with no error message. How should I upload the files?
