Campaign Map Not Loading....

Make sure the name of the garirson's captain is available for his (sub-)faction and that the unit is also available to the faction.

I created a new map for a mod I am making and cant get it to work.

Symptom: Game CTD's with no message shortly after arrow is clicked to start campaign - new map.rwm is generated.

Width or height of map exceeds maximum. (Maximum = 510pixels map_regions, 1021pixels map_heights size.

It is much smaller

Misspelt character name in descr_strat.txt, or use of name which doesn't belong to faction you have assigned it to - check in data/descr_names.txt for faction specific names.

didnt mess with character names yet

An elephant or chariot unit which is included in the descr_strat.txt file has an 'officer' assigned to it in export_descr_units.txt. Those types of units cannot have an officer and unlike other unit related bugs this one causes CTD on trying to load campaign.

Didnt touch elephants or chariots

Having the Romans able to horde "and" have the senate as their super-faction. (under BI.exe)

Im using rome

Could it possibly be an errant pixel? I looked again and again, but found nothing.

Added more factions, found a few errant pixels, and decided to rework the regions tga once more. Still doesnt work...and I am at a loss as to what to do now. If it helps, I have uploaded the aryth campaign file.

Why would you add more factions, when the previous amount didn't work?

**Motep** · 01-10-2009, 02:58

I was bored. Anywho, I am still stuck on this...

Back up your .tga map files and then use 1 climate, 1 ground type, no features, etc (ie make the map as simple as possible) and see if it loads.

map is quite simple already - do double check that when you delete the map.rwm that you get a new one...
only thing you didn't post in your earlier upload was the
campaign_name_regions_and_settlements.txt
file that you should have altered to match your new region and city names in data/text/...
did you change that file? and does its name match the folder name for your campaign?

in the folder you posted you have egypt as the default faction for all your regions in descr_regions.txt --- but you can't actually use them there as they are not one of the factions included in your descr_strat.txt, that should give an error message if you didn't have a larger problem its meeting first.
