Hi all,

I just started getting into this mod (I was hesitant at first, I am not a huge fan of renaissance era warfare). Anyway it is a great mod, and definitely has drawn me away from Stainless steel and third age. I really like the faustian reich, but it seems that the kaiser guard has a bug with its portrait on the information panel (the one with all the stats). It shows some kind of peasant unit when i right click on the small icon of the kaiser guard. Is this normal? did i mess up the installation somehow? Everything else seems to be working great with the mod.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... Did you install the patch and any fixes? I believe there were some missing cards without the latest fix.


But really it's just a UI card, unless you didn't install the fix (in which case there would be a CTD if you ever decided to play the Gaels or blitzkrieged their island), there ought to be no issues.

Yes I installed the patch for v3 and still there is a missing image on the information panel with the stats. I don't know who I should inform about this or where I should post this graphical bug.

It isnt an a bug, something has gone array with either your installation or the installing of the patch.

[batty1234]

I have no idea then; I put both exe's in my mods folder and clicked them. I really don't think there is any way I could have messed up the installation of the mod and the patch. Plus, Gaelic island works fine, indicating that something else is wrong.

Make sure that your User Account Control is off and that your VirtualStore folder (curse that folder!) is deleted.

I found the bug in the patch installer.

C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\theraV3\data\ui\unit_ info\hre

Notice the space between unit_ info; that shouldnt be there... it should be unit_info; this is why the patch effects for the ui for kaiser pikemen, renn lancers, and "slave faction" are incorrect.

Thanks

I have just tested and confirmed that this is the problem; the patch installer will have to be fixed I guess. I'm not skilled enough to do it myself.

I am really enjoying the mod by the way, great work!

There is a "unit_info" folder and a "unit_ info" folder.

The "unit_info" folder is the one that the mod uses, the "unit_ info" folder should not have to be tampered with. The patch works 100% correctly for me and others, so I know that it's not the patch's fault.

But I'm glad that you at least got the mod working. I hope you enjoy it.

I don't think you don't understand what I am saying; If you run the patch exe to your desktop for example, then look at the data\ui folder, you will see that there is only a unit_ info folder... this indicates, clearly and absolutely, that the patch is incorrectly applying the fixes for "hre" and "slave" factions not to the unit_info folder, as you yourself said the mod uses, but the incorrect unit_ info folder which is apparently just some random folder (none of the other mods I use have a unit_ info folder, just a unit_info folder.)

My personal belief is that this was some kind of typo or something. The fact that remains that if you run the patch exe and unzip the data to your desktop, and only see under data\ui, a "unit_ info" folder, the patch incorrectly applies the kaiser guard pikemen and the renn lancers stat card fix to an incorrect folder; thus the mod never sees them or applies them.

Regardless, I am just happy I have figured out what the problem is, but I hope you guys look at this a second time. The fact of the matter is that it is a really small problem; it only affects like 3 units in the entire mod, and only if you look at their stat page.

Also, I am not trying to be rude or mouthy, just trying to straighten out the problem.

I'm just saying, I've never had an issue with the ui in this mod (all unit cards worked perfectly). You weren't coming off as rude or mouthy, I'm just saying that I've never had to manually change any files to get anything to work.

Me neither.

Hm? Is this why my top tier Faustian (KG something or other?) pikemen image is that of a generic peasant? I only recently reinstalled the very latest download and patches. I do not know much about installers.

It was mildly immersion breaking so I stopped using them, but with good generals and a well balanced army I just got by without them. It's still my favourite faction.

Go to your "therav3/data/ui/unit_ info" folder and copy all of it to your "unit_info" folder.

Thanks, that worked. You have not made life any easier for the enemies of Faustian New Thought. Mwahahahahaaa.
