P.I. Beta Bug thread

[hellas1]

Hi P.I. team,

Awesome mod and tough! Niiice.

Why were the "celts" so bellicose?

The rest of the Italian peninsula seems to have been kind of crazy with activity. Wow, I never understood how vibrant this place was!

There are bugs of course, here are mine so far (P.S. Can you sticky this?):

1. Custom battles don't work: Each faction dies in a sea of water instantaneously! Every time, In each setting! Cute.

2. The "Delete custom battles" option doesn't work.
I can't get rid of the custom battle I just tried to play (See above).
It's like nested in the program or something.

3. When I started the mod, "Load Campaign" was lit up as an active option. I don't know if you folks planned it like that or not.

4. The "Delete saved campaign" option doesn't work.
(Same as #2)

Everything else is cool.
Historical battles are always nice. (If possible)

Thank you very much,
hellas1

BTW, I only repped 2 of you: Luciano B and Hister, the rest are next!
Rooock!

Thank you hellas1 for detailed bug report. since I'm not a moderator I can't sticky this thread. Hopefully Luciano does this 'cos we need a unified place for easier bug listing.

All those bugs will be fixed in next patch.

Bug Fix

1. Custom battles don't work: Each faction dies in a sea of water instantaneously! Every time, In each setting! Cute.

Custom battles don't actually contain their own land and geography. They are simply a picked spot from the overall camapign map. The Paeninsula Italica map is obviously very different from old RTW, so the Grassland tile now points to some location which is now, in the new map, in water.

For now, use "Moon River" or "Germanic Forest", since they are very flat, for all your custom battles.

2. The "Delete custom battles" option doesn't work.
I can't get rid of the custom battle I just tried to play (See above).
It's like nested in the program or something.

3. When I started the mod, "Load Campaign" was lit up as an active option. I don't know if you folks planned it like that or not.

4. The "Delete saved campaign" option doesn't work.

Will be looked into.

There's a problem with the Sabelian Equites Paeligni, the mod CTDs when this unit attacks or is attacked.

Minor text bug: The FM bodyguard for the Celts have no name, it says "no text bla bla"

Congrats for your first public version! Awesome units and a awesome scenario! Good work and looking forward to the next version!

The peltastai akontistai(tried a custom with the italiotes) are either lacking the sprites or have bad sprites.

EDIT:
Got an error message: failed to find texture "PI/data/PI/models_unit/textures/PI_Psiloi_Sphendonetai_Hellenes.tga".
And I think that`s because the texture is actually named:
PI_Graeci_Psiloi_Sphendonetai_Hellenes.tga

-Equites Custodes Samnites are bugged they don't fight, just lift their spear up in a throwing position and try to throw but never do. (The spears are backwards too) And have no ammunition bar anyways.
-Equites Custodes Apuli have Apulian light spearmen as their text description.
-Both Phalangitai Epeirotikoi and Makedonikoi dont seem to use their secondary weapon when not in phalanx formation. They just punch while the spears are in an upright position still in their hand. (Also when they are in phalanx formation and do have guard mode on, I found they don't hold the formation if say they are fighting a cavalry unit and then that said unit runs off to the side. Some men will stray from the formation and give chase.)
-Spearwall + Guard vs. Spearwall + Guard in a one on one situation doesn't seem to work well. (Units just break the formation and fight as if they weren't in a formation.)

Thanks, fixed.

As reported in the "read me" file, run the game with the highest detail settings for the units, since we lack sprites and the lower poly versions of the models.

...mmm ...strange ...the Brettian unit cards seem in place, both in the Brettian and Italiote UI folders; which faction was playing Leonidas480bc?

The Tarantine tunic color is light blue; it may look darker or lighter because the map-lighting.

There's no immediate concern with the Custom Battles -- see post #3 for good maps on which to fight them.

[Nullified]

-Carpentarii Veneti are graphically bugged, wierd graphical effect all over the screen.
-Clipeati Veneti are described as Venetic swordsmen, they seem to be an underhand Venetic hoplite unit though.

Thanks Giovi
...let me say that I'm not so deeply involved in custom battles editing to have a quick answer to your question; I'd need to have an accurate look at that issue and try to resolve it, but I really don't know if I'll be able to fix the problem in a smart way.
