I've got 2 question on this lesson (although I'm finished with it^^):

1st: When I have several building chains (e.g. the pagan temples of Lithuania in the Teutonic Campaign), what do i need to type in the export_descr_buildings, so that when i build one of these, the other ones becom unavailable?

2nd: What do i need to do when I want to make a certain building, that is not in the building chain, constructable only when I got a certain building? (e.g. I need a market to construct a blacksmith)

Good job Alex, absinthia.

Nevada:
1. Anything with a temple_ as part of the name should allow only one tree to be constructed. If you wanted to do it with other types then you just use and not building_present.

2. See this

Finished Lesson 4 Part 1!! I initially went through the same frustration with CTDs as Nevada and Alex-ander. Without your template, Nevada, I probably wouldn't have finished this lesson. That thread Alex-ander found was also quite helpful. +rep to both of you, my friends

Here's my podracing track

Made the first changes to just get the new building to show up and I'm getting a crash to desktop with this in my log file?

**Nevada** · January 03, 2009, 04:17 AM

did you use the code from the lessons or the one I posted one page ago?
(mine works, the one from the lesson doesn't seem to)

**atraps** · January 17, 2009, 06:10 PM

I'm getting a CTD during the splash screen.

Here is the log.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

It says export_buildings.txt.strings.bin is missing, but it's there.

**Bernem** · January 17, 2009, 06:50 PM

had the same splash screen CTD, it was due to a typo in my export_buildings.txt:

I forgot the suffixes for my newly added buidings:
i wrote
{building}
{building}
{building}

instead of

{building}
{building_desc}
{building_desc_short}

that was all after I corrected it it worked perfectly

here are my new buildings:

Atraps, upload your mod folder.

**Bernem** · January 20, 2009, 09:23 AM

ok now even the links don't work...i'll try to upload the pictures here!

EDIT: done, see above!

**atraps** · January 20, 2009, 10:29 AM

Ok I will, because this problem is stumping me. I've checked everything and I couldn't find anything wrong.

**musicdemon** · January 21, 2009, 07:25 AM

"From now on eagle eyed comic figures also sustain the law!" Good stuff, Bernem :laughing: +rep for a creative idea and good descriptions

atraps, I'll download your folder and see if I can find anything wrong.

**sinople** · January 21, 2009, 01:28 PM

Hello.

I wanted to take screens, but the mod doesn't want to launch and the log tells nothing.

Main entries I added :

here is my folder that you can dl :http://files.filefront.com/ModBasics.../fileinfo.html

Thanks.

Ps : I also tried with GrnEyeDvL entries but it didn't work.

**atraps** · January 21, 2009, 02:11 PM

Sinople try adding a couple of empty lines after the last entry in the export_buildings (in the text folder). Also remember to delete it's strings.bin counterpart to make sure the game regenerates it.

**Hunter Makoy** · January 22, 2009, 09:49 AM

Sinople your missing some brackets for the capabilities area. Hopefully that will do it

Code:

building twc_university
{
    levels twc_college twc_academia 
    {
        twc_college city requires factions { northern_european, } 
        {
            capability
            {
                construction_cost_bonus_stone bonus 30
            }
        happiness_bonus bonus 1
        pope_approval 1
        population_growth_bonus bonus 1
            }

{twc_college}Apprentice Total War gaming and modding
{twc_college_desc}See GrnEyeDvl for more information ! He's teacher there.
{twc_college_short}See GrnEyeDvl for more information !
{twc_academia}Academia of Total War gaming and modding.
{twc_academia_desc}Just for bright people.
{twc_academia_desc_short}It cost about 658100euros a year to learn there.

Y2day: i doubt those log entries have anything to do with your problem. Building errors seem to be notorious for not showing up. If your getting a CTD on the splash screen and your sure its not a code entry issue, i would save your entires, put back in the vanila EDB, and re enter them, and see if that works. For some reason the game doesn't recognize new entires right.

**Bernem** · January 22, 2009, 12:57 PM

seen another mistake!

Code:

{twc_college}Apprentice Total War gaming and modding
{twc_college_desc}See GrnEyeDvl for more information ! He's teacher there.
{twc_college_desc_short}See GrnEyeDvl for more information !
{twc_academia}Academia of Total War gaming and modding.
{twc_academia_desc}Just for bright people.
{twc_academia_desc_short}It cost about 658100euros a year to learn there.

you missed the red part, a typo like this was the reason for exactly the same CTD phenotype of mine!

EDIT:

Atraps, you have made the same typo!

in your export_buildings.txt

Code:

{apprentice_gsmith}Apprentice Goldsmith
{apprentice_gsmith_desc}A jeweler for the masses that creates simple rings, necklaces, and other small items made from gold. One say he aspires to become a Master Goldsmith.
{apprentice_gsmith_short}A basic goldsmith capable of simple jewelry. Provides a trade income bonus.
{master_gsmith}Master Goldsmith
{master_gsmith_desc}A Master Goldsmith capable of doing any gold work you require.
{master_gsmith_desc_short}A Master Goldsmith. Provides a trade income bonus.

After I added the red part I could run your mod without problems (proof added

)
