[Hayami Kagemusha]

An IMPORTANT FILE FIX to the export_descr_buildings.txt was uploaded in the other thread yesterday. I don't know if it was a problem with the campaign sub mod itself or if it was something I added incorrectly, but it will cause some CTDs when playing as the Uesugi (and perhaps fighting them on the battlemap). If you want to manually check, use -show_err and fix the typos by adding "s" to "romans_scipii". It is currently and incorrectly written "roman_scipii".

Otherwise, upload this file and place it in your Data folder. Note that this file only works with my other campaign fixes, so if you just want the campaign mod without my changes, you need to use the -show_error command line to ensure your file is working correctly. I suggest everyone uses this anyways when you play any mod.

One other known problem with the campaign submod is some custom battle maps are not working correctly (I am not sure which ones, but its several but not all of them. Grassy_plains map seems to always work fine). This glitch will cause all forces put on the custom battle map to immediately drown at the start of the battle. I'll spend some time looking up the cause tonight, as it is a bug that leaves no show_err message.

That may explain some CTD issues I had when I tried the mod yesterday...

[Hayami Kagemusha]

Again the use of -show_err is highly recommended when playing any mod. In the meantime, I have discovered a "cure" for the custom maps problem and am fixing it. In hte meantime somehow my new Uesugi Daimyo Bodyguard had a new bug pop up, which makes no sense as I haven't changed it in a few days and it worked fine before. Anyhow, thats why I haven't posted the bodyguard files yet.

*edit* HELP!

Okay, this is the strangest bug I have yet seen. I don't get it at all. It only happens to Uesugi Cavalry Archers and Uesugi Daimyo Bodyguard, which is composed of a handful of cavalry archers + officers and general. The bug is not consistent; sometimes it crashes the instant I try to start a custom battle while commanding one of those units. Other times it crashes during the loading screen. Sometimes it doesn't crash at all and lets me fight the battle. So far it has crashed everytime I try to fight a battle in campaign mode with said unit. There is, of course, no show_err message. This problem did not exist until a few days ago, I have used the unit in battle quite a few times, with or without supporting units, in both custom and campaign.

What I suspect is that this bug has something to do with polygon count, or somehow is overloading my graphics card. This unit, and this unit alone. I am going to restart my comp in a minute to see if I have a memory leak, but other units don't cause this. I suspect it, amazingly, just barely puts me over the limit. I will check the common error threads on the forums in a bit, but if anyone has any idea what possible issue this might be, please let me know!

*Update* I did indeed have a memory leak, but that doesn't seem to be the root of the problem. It continues to happen, almost every other time. I fought one battle on hte campaign map commanding Uesugi Daimyo Bodyguard and 6 total units on the map. The second campaign map battle involving a Uesugi Family Member crashed half way through loading screen. I just don't get it

I tougth for posting your bugs was in bug threat but is here too? Well I am posting here then sorry if I did wrong and did double posting.
The bug is.
I instal the Battles of Asia v2.0 "All-in-one": after instalation I click to play the game it gives me a loading of Rome Total War then it crash
I instal normaly and wait that command window closed and all was instruted when appear the window saing exist I click and finish thei instalation after that I try the game and rigth from the star it crash how can I fix this?
Thanks

[Hayami Kagemusha]

did you have a fresh install of Rome Total War 1.5 before installing Battles of Asia?

[Hound of Ulster]

Your issue with the Uesugi bodyguard could be a missing texture

[Hayami Kagemusha]

Hey Hound of Ulster. Unfortunately, that isn't the issue. The texture exists, and sometimes it lets me fight the battle, at other times it doesn't. It seems more like a virtual memory problem, as if for some reason the Uesugi Elite Cav Archer skin takes up soooo much memory that a single unit of them can sometimes cause a crash. While my computer isn't exactly amazing, it should still easily be able to handle a single unit. Afterall I can fight mass battles with at least two full armies in vanilla rome, and have fought several in BoA with at least 12 units on each side

Well it was a fresh instal but is Rome Total War Gold Edition is already patched.
But my question is if the mod doesnt work in Rome Total War Gold Edition?
This realy piss me off man I realy wanted to play this mod!

did you test any of the other units present at the battle with Uesugi bodyguard unit? One of those could be the issue...

[Nelduin]

Added a link to the Campaign submod on FileFront.

[Hayami Kagemusha]

sure did Hound of Ulster. I haven't checked every single unit in game, but I did over a dozen different scenarios, different maps, campaign or custom battle, different factions, its pretty clear it is the Uesugi Cavalry Archer soldier texture or sprite. I also tested all the other Cavalry Archers which use the same model, have yet to crash with any of them. I need to test the Uesugi Foot Archers as well as they have the same texture, but otherwise no other units appear to be affected.

and Thanks Al-Hassen

Its works with Gold Edition, I'm sure of that because I have it.
If you have a fresh install, It must work, otherwise it can be a material problem... try to update your drivers and test it again.

You have Battles of Asia v2.0 "All-in-one": instalation? The previous one the manualy worked but this one I dont know it simply crash.
Update drivers?

[Nelduin]

Yes, I have tested it with the executable. It works. I don't know where come your problem...

[knight of virtue and valor]

good work guys, I am doing a campaign as the red clan, those guys that have zen and are really good at those halberd sort of things. good work guys.

[Hayami Kagemusha]

hehe the Mori were quite successful historically. They beat the former powerhouse Ouchi clan, while also dealing with the Amago and Otomo, expanding from minor retainers of the Ouchi clan to rulers of all of Chugoku. Its just unfortunate for them that Oda Nobunaga got to the capital first >.<; Same goes for the green Shimazu... and for that matter the black Takeda, blue Uesugi, and purple Hojo... LOL. d#mn that Nobunaga!!
