Hax's Great Faction Swaps

[Khazar_Dahvos]

Im down to playtest for CTDs. I have some knowledge when it comes to the type of modding that your doin. I'm just to lazy to do it all by myself. Count me in just pm me when you want me to start!!!
Also I gotta quick question? Are you gonna have the Galatikoi Lavotuxri as the galatian bodyguard unit for your generals or one of the obvious choices Cidainh, or Brihentin? If you are not willing to answer it here just pm me or ill find out when you do the preview or when I playtest for ctds!!!!!!

[Hax]

I'll send you a PM, Khazar.

For Galatia, I'll probably take Brihentin.

Any more? ;D

[Khazar_Dahvos]

Roger that!!!
nope you have sated my curiosity!!!

[The Celtic Viking]

Well, I'm owning up. If you need people to playtest, then I'm offering you my services. :)

[johnhughthom]

I'd be happy to playtest for you Hax.

[Hax]

I keep getting a CTD on the initial loading screen. I did a clean install with the 1.1 fixes, no other mini-mods and ordinary EB works ok when I switch the data folder I copied before extracting the Pergamon.rar files. I am using RTW.exe.

[Khazar_Dahvos]

just pm ya john I was having the same problem when I uninstalled and reinstalled EB

[Khazar_Dahvos]

sorry for the double post!!! It seems to work with forced diplomacy and spoils of victory mini-mod but I am going to check the eb script for pergamon recieving such a bulk payment after the first turn. could just be my installation because I have changed a couple of other things but nothing to do with money. hmmm looks like it is added into the money script not sure why its coming up since I am a human player and not the ai

I suspect the cause might be a conflict with the map.rwm file. Any time you use a new descr_strat.txt, you need to delete the old.

Starting a new campaign will generate a new one.

[Khazar_Dahvos]

dohhh I should have remembered that!!!!!

I didn't think that was an issue with a clean install. We figured it out anyway, it needs spoils of victory to run.

Khazar_Dhavos, are you just getting a one time bulk payment? If so I think Hax may have intended that, wasn't Pergamons treasury famously huge? I don't know why it would be scripted like that, though, rather than just giving a large started treasury.
Anyway for some reason I seem to be getting 40000 at the start and end of every turn, after less than 2 years I have almost 500000. Can't see too many other issues, there is a level 10 spy near Alexandria I assume shouldn't be there(also noticed a level 10 Seleukid spy). The only other issue I have noticed is simply the faction leader's victory condition trait and buildings etc still having Epirote text, though I don't think anyone in their right mind would expect one guy to change all that. It's actually looking pretty cool, if I can get that money script sorted I can see myself having a long campaign with this and not just for testing reasons.

This is very weird, about the money thing. I did not experience that in my own EB campaign though. I might let Pergamon start out with a higher treasury than the other factions, though.

The building stuff isn't really a concern, I can change that quite easily.

The spy thing is a problem, but not game-breaking. Somehow, the kill_character command in the CAMPAIGN_SCRIPT.txt does evil stuff when trying to play a proper campaign (from C-ingTD when clicking end turn for the first time, to disabling loading and saving).

[Khazar_Dahvos]

just finishing my new install with spoils of victory mod. Still I am a bit perplexed about the money issue!!!
ive only played 2 turns earlier so it looks like it is a bug or glitch and not just my installation

[Hax]

Try to run it without the spoils of victory mod. That might just be the cause.

Crashes on the initial splash screen without it.

[Hax]

That is very weird, since I don't use the spoils of victory mod myself.

[johnhughthom]

That most certainly is very weird...

I have three EB data folders, one unmodded-works ok, one with your Pergamon mod and no spoils of victory-doesn't work(CTD on opening screen), one with your Pergamon mod and spoils of victory-works ok.

[Khazar_Dahvos]

probably map rwm needed to be deleted but we shall see after I am done in 3 min with the back up clean install.
Still doing the same thing with the money. Seems like its running the ai money script for the human player im gonna check a few of the other factions for comfirmation.

Ah, good point, it shouldn't be.

[Khazar_Dahvos]

Same problem as you Johnhughthorn its giving the same 40k at the end and beginning with the other factions as well.
I have never really tinkered with modding or scripting with the main eb script so I am at a lost as of what to do in this case. Im gonna go ahead and play 3 or 4 years and then uninstall sov mod and try again. Its gonna really bug me if I can't fix this little money script prob. I'll figure it out in the end though.

[johnhughthom]

I managed to get it working without SoV, a clean reinstall, deleted map.rwm and it worked. Still have the 40k at the start and end of each turn, also get an error message on exiting EB:

Script Error in eb/data/scripts\show_me\EBBS_script.txt, at line 177, column 11.
Trait not recognised

Not sure if it effects gameplay.

edit: it seems I didn't get it to work without SoV, I had too many data folders and obviously got them mixed up. I think that script error above is related to installing the Pergamon mod over SoV. A total uninstall of everything RTW and EB related then reinstalling, deleting map.rwm, bovi's 1.1 permanent fixes then the Pergamon mod has led to the crash on the splash screen again. Have you managed to get it to work without SoV Khazar_Dahvos?

[bigmilt16]

Hax,

let me in on this. I want to help! PM me.

Dunno about him, but I have, thanks to Hax. I made a completely clean install of 1.1 with the fixes, and then installed the second version Hax sent me after I had told him of my situation. I noticed that the second version included less files, but if there are other changes than that, you'll have to ask the man himself.

Edit: I might add that I don't get any 40k at all. I don't get any money I'm not entitled to (whereas in RL I feel that I don't get money that I am entitled to ).

[johnhughthom]

Cheers Celtic Viking, I'll PM him.

Hmm, I've run into a persistent CTD at eleutheroi's turn in winter 272 BCE. Happens regardless of whether the script is activated or not, and there's never a specific action happening (no battles, no specific area centered on etc.). It feels like it just freezes up for a second, before it crashes.

Edit: Now when I started it up and then exited EB I got the message: "Script Error In eb/data/export_descr_character_traits.txt Line 106569 Column 27 Trait not recognized". For some reason I didn't get it before when I just started a campaign and then quit immediately.

This is known. Try playing with toggle_fow off and following AI movement. Yes, that takes time. Heh.

[The Celtic Viking]

I have done so already. Each time ended in different places (first Segestica then Byzantium), with nothing visible going on.
