Adding Provinces/Regions

If you're doing everything correctly, it is probably a type-o somewhere in the code. That is usually my problem. Check the log for any script errors. Those are usually helpful for pointing your to the problem.

I'm stumped. It's not the spelling, I openend and checked all the files you edit. The log? is that in the logs folder? There's nothing in there. Would it have anything to do with the txt.strings.bin file? This might be a case of starting all over again.

Cheers.

hmmm...yes. every time you alter the map, you have to delete map.rwm from the base folder and, depending on what else you have changed, some of those txt.strings.bin files that appear in the text folder. If you have only added a region or changed a name, you should delete imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt.strings.bin

DO NOT delete imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt

Edit: the log is a text file in the main M2TW folder called "system.log.txt"

Well, I created a new mod with MedMod going through the process again, this time a little slower, and only making one new province instead of two. Success! The only thing different apart from one less province is the way I handle editing the map, so I can only assume that was the problem. I'm going to go back to the original mod now and going to redo the map see if I can get it working. Cheers for your help.

My problem at first was just that. I was doing too much at once. That way it is a lot easier to make simple little mistakes. Now I do 5 or so at a time, mapping out the x,y coordinates on the game map each time. It doesn't take as long if you start your gane up in windows mode.

Hi, after starting again I have run into the same problem again. I ran through the edits I had made and removed all of them to take me back to the last time the game successfully loaded, but ctds still continue. So now I have scrapped that and started with the map location that is causing the problem. I am trying to add a location to the left of London on the UK map. Where Limes has successfully added Cornwall in the data text files post in the tutorials forum. It is this particular location that is causing ctds, though I don't know why. I added the report error function and got this in the logs folder
14:45:22.937 [script.err] [error] Script Error in New_Regions/data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.txt, at line 1014, column 1
Couldn't find region name 'Dartmoor_Province' in stringtable. Any idea how I fix this as my spelling is correct in all the files that Dartmoor_Province needs to be added.
Cheers

Ignore the last post that doesn't seem to be what the problem is. The problem is making new settlements that are next to water as far as I can make out. I tried it else where and get the same unspecified error ctd. Maybe after tommorrow it will become a whole lot easier.
