Bug, problems, and glitches in the 2.1 version

[uanime5]

This thread is for reporting any bugs you find in the 2.1 version.

To help me fix these bugs please provide the following information:

1) What Campaign you were playing.
2) What the problem is.
3) What you were trying to do or the AI was doing when the problem occurred.
4) An error log. The error log is 'system.log.txt' file in the 'Medieval II Total War\logs' folder (default location 'C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\logs'). A new error log is generated each time you play M2TW so I need you to post the error log generated after my mod crashes.

If you're using Win 7 an error log will not be generated unless you disable the 'User Control'. How to disable the 'User Control' is explained here:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=321237

To attach an error log to your post press the 'Manage Attachments' button in the 'Additional Options' menu. This will bring up a pop-up menu where you can upload files.

There's a problem with the installer (conquest patch 2.0.exe), it doesn't decompress the files it just puts the conquest patch 2.0.7z in the 'C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War'. I'm currently trying to fix this.

To fix this go to the 'C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War' folder, right click on the 'conquest patch 2.0.7z', and select 'extract here' (overwrite the existing files). Once the 'conquest patch 2.0.7z' has been unpacked you can delete it.

1400 Eurocentered campaign. Playing E.R.Empire. I attack Ottoman Empire with the prince on the 2nd turn, but then it crashes on the load - up to battle. I tried siedgeing the city (south, south west of Constantinople), but still it's CTD.

I have no CTD of it, but I bet it will happend to your game too.

-------------------------------------
970, euro centered

I think the AI factions disappear too fast by the hands of other AI factions:

England turn 14
Bulgaria Tzardom turn 20
Burgundy turn 20
Castille turn 20

The French win the game at turn 22

-------------------------------------
970, euro centered

The snowy Scandinavian forests of Oslo/Uppsala border, blinks very fast when I play Norway Vs Rebels. No idea why.

-------------------------------------

The Norwegian (and danish) faction need an update. Both technically (names, positions, religion) and the units. I can theoretically help with alot with the former. Make it more authentic. Maybe even a new scandinavian roster. I new to get back to this little late tho.

This could be because a unit texture is missing, due to an officer, or a unit using the horde formation. Can you upload an error log and tell me which units you and the turks were using.

I'm using a new AI so it hasn't had a lot of testing. As the AI tends to expand by conquering rebel settlements and weaker factions, rather than attack more powerful ones, this is why many small factions quickly disappear.

To win in the 970 campaign France needs to conquer 70 regions. As they start with 11 regions they'd need to conquer 59 regions in 22 turns or 2-3 regions per turn. Did you start as France or did the AI play very well as France.

Not sure either.

I didn't want to make them pagan because I'd need to make new pagan religious buildings. Though I would appreciate information explaining how to make them more accurate.

Ok, here is another CTD log from Empire. I play England and battle the Songhai, in africa.

I ( the lonly general trapped in the fort sally out to fight on the Songhai army on the battle map, a large reserve (lead by a captain) come to my aid. I win the battle, but then it CTD's when I click past the statistic/result -popup, just before it's about to load back into the campaign modus -- it CTD's.

I'm using a new AI so it hasn't had a lot of testing. As the AI tends to expand by conquering rebel settlements and weaker factions, rather than attack more powerful ones, this is why many small factions quickly disappear.

To win in the 970 campaign France needs to conquer 70 regions. As they start with 11 regions they'd need to conquer 59 regions in 22 turns or 2-3 regions per turn. Did you start as France or did the AI play very well as France.

There is a "long campaign" and there is the shorter version. I chose the latter version. France needed only to eliminate England, Burgundy and Spain (iirc), ....and, offcourse hold one region. Maybe increase the regions required for the hort campaign would do the trick.

Small factions could resive a money bonus, from keep them from vanishing away to quickly. This worked quite well in DLV.

Capitals could also use a reinforcement script. That way, small factions with 1, 2 or just 3 regions survice abit longer then just a duzin turns.

I didn't want to make them pagan because I'd need to make new pagan religious buildings.

Not sure why the mod crashed after beating Songhai. Can you upload a save file from before you sallied against Songhai. Save files are in the 'Medieval II Total War\mods\conquest\saves' folder (default location 'C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\conquest\saves').

Where you playing the 1331 or 1453 campaign?

Ok, here is another CTD log from Empire. I play England and battle the Songhai, in africa.

1547 Camapign (Empires)

Empire = Empires 1547

EDIT:
Well this CTD (Songhai victory) only happend once. Hmm... I can up load the save file if you want, but I doubt it's usefulness.

You MUST upload the log RIGHT after your CTD before you start another instance of eras total conquest, as the log will get overwritten.

With that log Uanime5 will actually be able to ASSIST you. Save games and descriptions are useless

Happy conquering all

Save games and descriptions are useless

Well, if they give him the save game, then he can just reproduce the log himself (although he most likely doesn't have the same version we do) and descriptions help him find the errors quickly.

Just make sure you post the error.log, a description of what happened (the more detail, the better), and a savegame if applicable.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's only the last 100 lines of log which matters -- in that case, look at me previews post, the one before you critizised.

Unnime also directly asked for a save game, but since the incident is not reppetative CTD - I considered it useless this time.

Empires campaign; "short campaign achivements"; England:

I'm playing as the Brithish (Empire) and conquering some western africa and northern americas at the moment. It's truly awsome meeting soo much resistance Soon I'm heading on to India, southern China and Oceania.. Goal:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Mwhahahha

I recruited the African Elephant from the conquered settlement of Songhai (wester africa). the men on the back holds something which looks like a composite bow, but it's held like a rifle. Looks abit wierd

I get the trait: 'On the run' for my Assassins after they have done/failed a mission. What does this trait do?

My King have a very hard time getting crowned in London. I suspect it's because he lacks a child to be his Heir. Does my King need an heir, to be crowned? If your answer is yes, then I'm afriad I will have to declear the whole country a republic, because the childs are too slow to grow up and my king recives 8 untrancfarable Retinues before he gets a son. It's simply become impossible to get crowned. (PS: I don't have a problem with it, since my king have 10+ authority, it's just abit sad looking at the Stewardship of the British Empire). (PSS: I have my King in the capital London and I had less then 8 ancillaries for many turns).

The main problem, is the death of France, Germans, Dano-Norwegians, Sweden and Polish/lithu-commenwealth. It really bothers me to have Spain all over my ass like that. From the north archiapole and 80% of americas to Murmansk, and down to Sicely again. A reinforcement script for all the capitals (or some more) would counter this issue (I presume).

And once the european powers were to become more stable, a Colonization Script would also be a pleasent move indeed. Between a peticular numbers of turns (which must be ahistorical, but what the heck) have past, a script will place a fleet on a historical territory and expand into that land. From German Courland, to British, French, Swedish, Dano-Norwego and Italian will popup on their historical colony and fight other european powers. Maybe this will be another mod for the future or simpy a script.... idk, It just sound extraordinary!

BTW, any thoughts on Custom Battle? It allways CTD's just be for Im able to get to the unit recruiting screen on all campaigs I have tried (970, 1330, 1547)

[Hrobatos]

and now when i downloaded it, whatever campaign i run, it runs Empire capaign, i cant run any other campaign

and i wanna play 1080, thats only campaign I'm playing

Though I mainly use the error log it doesn't tell me everything, so sometimes I need a save game so I can run a more detailed error log, and test what works and what doesn't.

I recruited the African Elephant from the conquered settlement of Songhai (wester africa). the men on the back holds something which looks like a composite bow, but it's held like a rifle. Looks abit wierd

I don't have a elephant archer animation, so I have to either use the musket or the javelin one.

I get the trait: 'On the run' for my Assassins after they have done/failed a mission. What does this trait do?

Assassins get negative traits if they fail an assassination mission. Some start out minor but get worse if you repeated fail.

My King have a very hard time getting crowned in London. I suspect it's because he lacks a child to be his Heir. Does my King need an heir, to be crowned? If your answer is yes, then I'm afriad I will have to declear the whole country a republic, because the childs are too slow to grow up and my king recives 8 untrancfarable Retinues before he gets a son.

(PSS: I have my King in the capital London and I had less then 8 ancillaries for many turns).

Does the king have a 'pawned crown jewels' ancillary? If he does then he won't get crowned because he sold the crown jewels. His successor will automatically buy them back.

The main problem, is the death of France, Germans, Dano-Norwegians, Sweden and Polish/lithu-commenwealth. It really bothers me to have Spain all over my ass like that. From the north archiapole and 80% of americas to Murmansk, and down to Sicely again. A reinforcement script for all the capitals (or some more) would counter this issue (I presume).

While I've seen Spain conquer France, and the Ottoman Empire conquer the HRE, Austria, and Polan-Lithuanian Denmark-Norway and Sweden usually survive. Where they conquered or did they suddenly die?

Spain is huge because in 1547 it was very powerful and controlled most of the Americas until Napoleon conquered them.

I don't use garrison scripts because they are a lot of work and give the AI major problems because the AI can't factor in the garrison script when it attacks a settlement.

And once the european powers were to become more stable, a Colonization Script would also be a pleasent move indeed. Between a peticular numbers of turns (which must be ahistorical, but what the heck) have past, a script will place a fleet on a historical territory and expand into that land. From German Courland, to British, French, Swedish, Dano-Norwego and Italian will popup on their historical colony and fight other european powers. Maybe this will be another mod for the future or simpy a script.... idk, It just sound extraordinary!

The faction limit is 30, so the only way this would work would be if I have rebels spawn to represent new factions.

I don't need a colonial script, I just need to make colonies part of the victory conditions and factions will fight over them. However as the mod ends in 1648 most factions would not have had large colonial empires I felt it would be unrealistic to require England to conquer North America, India, and Africa.

Thanks for the save file.

So you choose the location, then the faction, then it crashes before you can choose the units? I once had a similar crash when there were too many units available and this caused the mod to crash. Which factions have you tried to play as?

I've merged this post with the bugs thread I'd already made.

Do you have XP or Vista? If you have vista you need to use the conquest VISTA.bat or it won't be able to copy the files.

[Hrobatos]

i have XP, but I can run it on Vista bat too, same result

1547 campaign Empires:

I don't have a elephant archer animation, so I have to either use the musket or the javelin one.

Ok, I understand, but I must admit it looks abit wrong the way they hold their bow. I would advice to change their weapon to anything which would make it look some what realistic.

Assassins get negative traits if they fail an assassination mission. Some start out minor but get worse if you repeated fail.

Ahhhhh, ok. I first thought he was followed and might perish. Alright, I got my feet back on the ground.

Does the king have a 'pawned crown jewels' ancillary? If he does then he won't get crowned because he sold the crown jewels. His successor will automatically buy them back.

No, he does not. He have 2 children, which are both not old enuff for campaigning, and an adopted heir with his own very young children. The King also have the "Regnent" -trait.

I think the combination between high-end buildings which produce high amount of retinue and 4(?) turn à year makes the issue with crowning the blood heir very difficult. Because it seems as if the King need a child with his blood inorder to get crowned. I will see how it turns out later tho

While I've seen Spain conquer France, and the Ottoman Empire conquer the HRE, Austria, and Polan-Lithuanian Denmark-Norway and Sweden usually survive. Where they conquered or did they suddenly die?

Spain is huge because in 1547 it was very powerful and controlled most of the Americas until Napoleon conquered them.

Roger. Tho it's a very explosive expansion. It's not my field, but Spain conquered France; Ripped into HRE; continued onto Denmark, Sweden and southern Norway. Northern Norway fell to rebelion (lack of nobles I presume). Austrian remind and stands strong.

Increase the mountains of Gibraltar straight would be strong benefit to remiain some what of a very strong european diverity of nationalitys.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The map hardly change -- increasing the mountain range between Spain and France would calm down lots of this extrem aggression.

I don't use garrison scripts because they are a lot of work and give the AI major problems because the AI can't factor in the garrison script when it attacks a settlement.

I understand all the settlements, but the orginal capital is a considerably reduce in work. Remember they are pushed into a corner . I hope tho, that it would be a goal for the future then or a mini mod.

The faction limit is 30, so the only way this would work would be if I have rebels spawn to represent new factions.

I'm not talking about New Englan, New France, etc. -- I'm talking about a script which plants an army from England, france, etc. in key colonial locations. It works in DLV. It gives an extra push.

I don't need a colonial script, I just need to make colonies part of the victory conditions and factions will fight over them. However as the mod ends in 1648 most factions would not have had large colonial empires I felt it would be unrealistic to require England to conquer North America, India, and Africa.

I would have to disagree with the non-colonial approche. I thinkit would be good to have another european faction in northern americas, rather then having spain un opposed conquering every patch of land the way up to Alaska. Oh well.

Thanks for the save file.

Sure thing.

So you choose the location, then the faction, then it crashes before you can choose the units? I once had a similar crash when there were too many units available and this caused the mod to crash. Which factions have you tried to play as?

Yes, in that order.

Sometimes filling in every factions slot from left to right. Also just tried the first 2 defult factions. Both equals CTD.
