Messing with the descr_regions is the reason I quit using it.
I had it take out the descr_regions and descr_strat at the same time. Twice. The reason I went back to Old Skool.
No, I have not tried to fix Octavius' hard work, either.
I understand the importance of backups and always make a spare copy of descr_strat as I had a few geomod freezes that messed up the file, although most of them just cut off the faction standings.. right at the bottom. The first time I noticed geomod messing descr_regions up I had the geomod freeze, checked to see what it had done to descr_strat but it was fine, then (a great frustrating time later) I found regions file was cut off
I wasn't doing anything special either, just error checking if I recall correctly.
That strange thing where it freezes and cuts off the descr_regions file happened to me a few days ago as well. I'm not really sure why, but what I do know is that it now works all fine again but it doesn't seem to be able to read the rebel_faction_descr file.
error in 96%
Any of these according to the manual:
- 95% campaign's towers and forts
- 96 - 97% descr_terrain.txt, loading maps
i replaced desc_terrain to be sure that i dont missed him...
for the campaing towers, i dont know wich is their file ...
the mod is stainless steel, late era files
the desc_terrain:
dimensions
{
width 510
height 288
}
heights
{
min_sea_height -3406.782
max_land_height 7511.272
}
roughness
{
min 50.000
max 200.000
}
fractal
{
multiplier 0.500
}
lattitude
{
min 22.000
max 56.000
}
yes
more than 150 turns without crashing.... so it works !!
note. no submods changing the map, original files from SS
Just remembered: those are 'provincial campaigns' - Geomod is not set up to handle that as it only reads from the imperial_campaign folder. My suggestion:
- Install Bare Geomod
- Replace the files in that installation with the ones from Stainless Steel
- Use Geomod on that set
Gigantus , i have stainless steel 6.3 but i want to delete some of the regions and add some natural strategic points in certain regions.When i deleted a region like say adrianople and merge it's color with constantinople to make a bigger constantinople , validate it , update victory conditions to exclude adrianople and start new campaign as byzantium the the game crashes saying there was an unspecified error. Help.
What does the log show?
Sigh. I get no error log , just the message.
Solved the problem though , i checked my string bin files. In campaign regions and settlements txt adrianople was still there while in the string counterpart it had been deleted so I backed up all the txt files then deleted them and used the string bin converter to generate new ones. it generated new ones except the strat.txt.string which i reused the one i had backed up , deleted map rwm and loaded up the game and it worked. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.
You're welcome.
I wonder if there is a way to permanently point Geomod to a certain mod folder? Cause its a bit annoying to repoint it to the same directory every time..
