Selecting homemade faction results in dropping back to the single player menu.

Even after running the unpacker, and searching my Medieval II folder I have found only one data/names.txt, and it's in my mod folder for Deus lo Vult.

There seem to be only three files with 'names' in the name, descr_names, descr_names_lookup and names. Only the first has sections for each faction.

Argh I'm sorry I meant descr_names.txt
I should stop answering stuff when I'm tired.

I see. Well, I've definitely edited both descr_names.txt and expanded.txt

Well usually the error log displays something. You might try using * trace instead of * error

Upon further reflection I've decided to drop it, as I've found a mod that's doing what I was trying to do anyway. Thanks for being so patient and helpful with me alpaca, I'm really impressed.
