Need some help

**Meister Sibrand** · June 16, 2008, 12:38 AM

Alright i did a full reinstall of ss and only added the following mods: SSTC, Zuma's stone forts, Y And Y's visual pack, My own descr_strat edits(New irish names, new hochmeister name), my own descr_names edits, my own descr_names_lookup edits, my own expanded edits, all factions horde. I uploaded a ZIP containg my export_descr_buildings, my export_descr_units, and my log file. Those files is where according to the log my crash(when starting a campaign) comes from. Could somebody fix them so they are normal ive tried and failed and had to reinstall to change it back. I dont want to screw it up again so i plead aid from the pros. Thanks In Advance for whoever can help me with this issue. They will for sure get rep from me.

Try these edits Sibrand.
If it crashes again, just upload your log again.

CTD when i tried first log:

Code:

21:03:48.328 [system.io] [always] mounted pack packs/data_0.pack
21:03:48.437 [system.io] [always] mounted pack packs/data_1.pack
21:03:48.546 [system.io] [always] mounted pack packs/data_2.pack
21:03:48.625 [system.io] [always] mounted pack packs/data_3.pack
21:03:48.687 [system.io] [always] mounted pack packs/data_4.pack
21:03:48.718 [system.io] [always] mounted pack packs/localized.pack
21:08:19.578 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

(not exact i lost the original dates arent correct im sure.)

The zip is my new log after i:

3. If your issue is a CTD, find your system.log file and post the last 10 lines or so as a spoiler (use [ spoiler ] system.log [ /spoiler ] without the spaces) to save on space.
4. If your system.log doesn't reveal anything obvious, try opening your config file:

* C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\Stainless_Steel_Kingdoms.cfg
* and change the line reading:
* level = * error
* to read:
* ;level = * error
* then repost your system.log (remember to use spoiler tags because it will be longer!)

Meister Sibrand
If it crashes at startup with no error given in log, then it is likely to be your edits to descr_stat. descr_name edits general cause a crash part way through the game, but if you have edited the stating characters, it could be here as well.

Might be worth looking at the mod tools forum for how to fix crashes: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=142374
