panzerschreck can you post a link to kungfuserge's forum?
I am a bit in the dark as to why the original link was taken down. Was there supposed to be a patched version of the core mod download going up?

thanks schreck, no wonder you posted it seperately.
It is hard to disceminate the khartum mod from the rest in that thread.

Kungfuserge first of all congratulations for your awesome mod.Great job pal.I just tried and play with both the Organ gun and the Puckle gun and they are both nice.My opinion i prefer the packle gun to be in in the final product.There is a new problem for me at least.Before i only had CTD with the campaign battles.Now it gave me a CTD in my first custom battle trying the big guns.So is there a new problem now.??Do u have a Breakthrough about the CTD.?(I don't have problems with all of my other games or with the NTW campaign/custom battles).

[kungfuserge]

Hi guys ;
The problem I have is that Patch4 is not running on my computer ; so I am half blind to do the update . (exemple : the frontend movie is fixed for you with patch4 ; well it's not running anymore with me if I do the correction I gave you ....
I hope Husserl can explain this CTD upon loading the Oriental Campaign .
I have fixed the Wheel disappearing from the zoom out of the organ gun ; if you want to fix it yourshelf :

"The good mesh is

ottoman_organ_gun_lod2.animatable_rigid_model

(the others are corrupted) so what you do is extract THIS ONE from enginemodels directory
1) make 3 copy of it and rename them ottoman_organ_gun_lod1.animatable_rigid_model ; ottoman_organ_gun_lod3.animatable_rigid_model ottoman_organ_gun_lod4.animatable_rigid_model

2) Replace them ( respectively )in the pack ; The Wheel will be back

Cheers

Serge asked me to help him in a problem after patch 4. But for me mod loads o.k. So please post if you have problems loading the campaign. When does the crush occurs exactly (in the beginning, after faction selection, etc.)? Did you try without using other mods?

[Basil the Second]

For me the CTD occures when trying to play an Oriental campaign battle.I play with the United Kingdom.At first i played some 2-3 battles without CTD but after the latest update it crushes when i enter the battlefields.I don't use other mods.

Be fantastic if you can fix this husserlTW as its a great mod.
I have removed all mods I click on the Oriental campaign button chose Britain click start and a loading screen comes up for a few seconds and the loading bar at the bottom of the screen starts moving for a few seconds and then I get a CTD.
The Campaign was working perfectly for me before the patch I also have the Peninsular DLC. Hope that helps.

[husserlTW]

I have Peninsula DLC. I've tried many times but... everything is o.k. I suggest to let Steam check your files. If she reports that she fixed some, do it again.... and again, until you get a report that zero (0) files fixed.

About battle bug 2 are the most usual reasons: a) problem with a model or/and sound file b) vga issue (serge always make demanding models for gpu power....). Did you try to reduce graphic options of the game?

[Dartanianx]

I am actually in the process of doing a complete reinstall of NTW I will report back later with hopefully good results.

[Dartanianx]

Ok did a totally clean reinstall of the game tonight and installed the files for Khartoum and Its working but I still get a CTD with the campaign but I forget to save the boot file for the Kartoum mod before reinstalling so am using the vanilla one would not having the “kartoum mod boot” cause a CTD?

[Basil the Second]

Hi guys.HusserlTW about checking the NTW Steam files you mean to use the Defragment option.?It says 0% Fragment so i think that i don't have problems there or do u think to use Defragment anyway.?About my settings i play the game at 1680x1050-Shader Model 3 High-AA 4x-AF 16x on Ultra all settings and all boxed checked.It plays very smooth untill the CTD.What do u thing Graphick options to reduce if this might be the problem.???

It's alright with “kartoum mod boot”. Since you deleted it I suppose that you've deleted any remaining files manually after games uninstall... Do you write the mod command in the right way because Serge names it's pack "khartum.pack". I know it is not a great advise but you never know...

Next step should be to make khartum.pack a "movie" type and give it a try.

Checking files is not defragment but "Verify integrity of game cache...". Reduce quality to medium just for a test and report back...

So i played the same battle that it gave me the CTD all the time in Medium settings with Shader Model 3(low)-AA:0,AF:Bilinear and only SSAO shadow checked and it CTD again with these settings to.But i think i found something.I play again and again with different settings the same battle and i noticed that the CTD occures when i change the Behaviour of some of the units with the special ability they have the "Light Infantry Behaviour".Dragoons and some of the infantry and it happens after some seconds i use the special ability.So i played again with the medium settings and i did not use the special ability and it work...!!I finish the battle with a victory of course and all went good no CTD.I change the settings with my usual Ultra and stuff and i finish again the battle and no CTD again.I don't know if its the reason for all of the CTD for the Campaign battles but it work for me.And i don't think it was a coincidence.So u guys give it a try.Who knows.Cheers.
