Adding Provinces/Regions

**ezekiel6** · 12-14-2006, 16:05

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.

That shouldn't be a problem (making settlements next to water). Cities can border the ocean. I would look into the string error message. Check the files that list the province names. If you left out an underscore or anything, it will cause and error.

You're right it shouldn't be a porblem. Anyway I did finally get the province up. 98% right. Sorry for repeatedly asking about this. Anyway I have got the province in and game loads fine. However as I said about the 98% the map calls the region Dartmoo and not Dartmoor. My spelling is right in all the files. I have opened the strings.bin file and it's called Dartmoo in there if I put the r in and save it then load a game it changes the file back to Dartmoo. I've also put one of those square break things at the end too and that has no effect. Can you help me out?

Yes. Change Dartmoo to Dartmoor in the file. The strings.bin and map.rwm file should be deleted every time you make a change that will appear differently on the map. You should not make changes in the strings.bin file. This file is generated by the game every time it loads and is based on the other files. If you delete these files after you make changes and before loading the game, you should be fine.

I don't know what you mean by this.

Not sure about the .bin file, but when you add cities to the text file, you have to enter a carriage return at the end of the file - the game "assumes" the last character of the file will be a carriage return; if it isn't, it ignores the last letter of the last name in the file.

Yeah that's what is happening. When I add a new province the missing letter for the previous new province is fixed. I'll go through the files and fix it just now. Cheers.
