What have you changed in the mod you are playing?

[Tiberius Caesar Augustus]

A lot's of files but i'm have a this hard problem

But when i'm playing mod i'm don't nothing change in the files...




This are full list of my modyfited files, if that can help you...

PS. i'm have very large map.rwm 12 MB?

[Aradan]

Is it possible for you to go back to a previous version of the mod that worked? Or have you made no safety backups?

[hæressiarch]

well i had to go back to the clean RTW+BI+ALEX to fix similar problem
sometimes it's just a single letter in the txt files... or incompatibile file in modfolder...

[Tiberius Caesar Augustus]

no i'm don't have backup files only this but i'm see that "loading and click end button turn CTD" have when i'm play Romans, if i'm play carthage every thing is ok..

[Aradan]

If you have not changed names, it's probably something in descr_strat. What have you done to that file? Added/moved armies, characters, settlements? Generally, what have you changed on your map?

[Tiberius Caesar Augustus]

i'm change tree roman factions to one Roman Republic with senate in Rome

and every scipi and brutii armies, relations of family, ships to romans_julli

and i'm don' change names but i'm check now...

[CaesarVincens]

Your family tree looks rather complex there, I'd slim it down first.

[Tiberius Caesar Augustus]

I'm know what is a problem it is a
faction romans_julii, bureaucrat caesar
superfaction romans_senate

when i'm deleted this game works good when i'm load save gam and click turn button game don't CTD and i'm can normal play but why
superfaction romans_senate having problem with CTD??(wen i'm play julli and old romans fractions)
i'm asking because i'm like senate mission whe play julli
Can i'm some to do with this bug? Or senat mission died for ever in my mod??

i got this error while working on the campaign map using TiME mapping tool.
any idea how to fix this issue?

[Aradan]

By making sure descr_strat, descr_regions and your_campaign_regions_and_settlements_names, all contain the region "Helvetia" properly defined. Check for any space characters after the word's last letter too.

[Faridus]

hmmm...
just doublechecked those files, nothing seems to be wrong with helvetia!!!
i'm at a loss...

[Aradan]

Try renaming your campaign so that it's Map_Mod, instead of Map Mod.

[Faridus]

i will...thanks for your help.

Hi, I have another problem during the battle

after a few minutes i'm have CTD wihtout message

But in files my mod

everything seems to be well done
what is the problem?

PS . I'm have darth mod(formations and AI)

[CaesarVincens]

I've found an errorless CTD.

Referring to a non-existent show-me script in export_descr_advice causes an errorless CTD at the loading screen.

I only got through the first three pages of the thread and have to leave soon, but I do have a question I haven't seen answered in the mapping section or here. I have an unusual bug in the BoA mod. It started to appear when a campaign map was made for the mod. Most of the custom battle maps appear to be bugged now. Starting battles in most custom maps floods the entire map, killing all units from the start (though it doesn't instantly end the battle). On at least one occasion, attempting to add a fort to the custom map caused an errorless CTD. A few maps still work (I've been using the grassy plains map for playtests), but both vanilla maps and maps made by the BoA team prior to my edits are getting flooded.

Does anyone know what the issue is, or at least what its related to? I have NOT touched any mapping elements whatsoever, only text editing and a few textures for units.

The custom battles are certain places of the campaign map. If the dimensions/terrain of the campaign map have changed(from what they were originally in vanilla for example) you need to edit the coordinates of each of those custom battles too. Otherwise there are good chances for the maps to be located in the sea area(hence your problem). The file concerned is custom_locations from the main data folder and you have the x and y values there that you need to update for each battle map.

[Hayami Kagemusha]

brilliant thanks. I heard someone say something along those lines but had no idea how it worked.
