Highways seems to doesn't work to the game as a new building.

I tried all the essential changes on the following files: export_descr_buildings_enums.txt, export_descr_buildings.txt, and export_buildings.txt.

And also, all the highways & c_highways TGA files are in their UI folder locations and subfolders (eastern_european, middle_eastern, northern_european, southern_european).

The game loads but before gets to the menu, craches.

In system.log.txt file (where all the game errors posted) says the following:

[script.err] [error] Script Error in data/export_descr_buildings.txt, at line 2972, column 17
Invalid upgrade specified

(It means that the game does not recognizes the new building upgrades in the road sections of the file).

Is something wrong? Here is my copy from export_descr_buildings.txt:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

HTML Code:

building hinterland_roads
{
    convert_to hinterland_castle_roads
    levels roads paved_roads 
    {
        roads city requires factions { northern_european, middle_eastern, eastern_european, greek, southern_european, } 
        {
            convert_to 0
            capability
            {
                road_level 0
            }
            material wooden
            construction  1 
            cost  400 
            settlement_min town
            upgrades
            {
                paved_roads
            }
        }
        paved_roads city requires factions { northern_european, middle_eastern, eastern_european, greek, southern_european, } 
        {
            convert_to 1
            capability
            {
                road_level 1
            }
            material wooden
            construction  3 
            cost  1200 
            settlement_min city
            upgrades
            {
                highways
            }
        }
        highways city requires factions { northern_european, middle_eastern, eastern_european, greek, southern_european, } 
        {
            convert_to 2
            capability
            {
                road_level 2
            }
            material wooden
            construction  5 
            cost  3600 
            settlement_min city
            upgrades
            {
            }
        }
    }
    plugins 
    {
    }
}

The same and with the Castle roads entries, (c_highways)

All works fine except the export_descr_buildings.txt. missing something?

Please, can anyone to post his copy of road sections of this file?

Well I haven'tactually tried this yet, (I'm waiting to complete my current game) but at the top where you've got
"convert_to hinterland_castle_roads
levels roads paved_roads"
shouldn't you have highways after that, so that there are 3 levels of road? Also I'm not sure about this and it possibly doesn't have to be done as long as all the names are right but, to be recognised as roads does the highways need a suffix at the end so it should be called highways_roads? Just my thoughts, hope they help

Thanks a lot, my friend! I like your accuracy! I has tired from modding all the last days.

I will fix the problem and I will post the results.

Thanks again!!!
