    Default Urgent: I can play the campaing, but no battle!!!

    Sorry guy, but i have a problem this mod.

    As far as i've been playing, I liked the game, but i have a problem with xgm, is that just when i want to engage into a battle the game unexpectedly ends and i return to the deskopt, not before the system give a message of failure. Do you have an idea of what to do in that case? I'm totally lost...

    That's an unusual problem. You could try updating your graphics drivers or turning down the in-game graphics settings.

    Go to the options menu > video options > show advanced options. Turn everything down quite low and see if you can start a battle. Do battles work OK for you in vanilla (i.e unmodified) RTW?

    Before I installed XGM I could ply SPQR without problems, but now I can neither play any of those games.

    If nothing is working then the problem is probably with your RTW install, or with your graphics driver. Your best bet is to re-install and re-patch RTW, and update or re-install your graphics driver.

    XGM sits in it's own mod folder in the main RTW folder, so you can just find and delete that if you want to. It doesn't affect any other files, and it will be automatically wiped and replaced if you reinstall it, so there's no particular reason to do it unless you want the space back.

    Certainly, but I think I need to reinstall it. By the way. Do you know if Seleucid names work on the console? I want to move a diplomat to Rome urgently and I've tried to use move_character, but as far as I've typed, it hasn't worked...

    Internal names are often different from the names you see on the screen. So you might need to check the files ([RTW]/xgm/data/text/names.txt) to see what the internal name is. Also, if another character has the same name, the move character command might not work at all.

    Gee, that's strange, I could swear the diplomat's name is Atalantos, but in the file I haven't found it.

    Code:
    {Attalus}			Atalantos
    The internal name is the one in the curly brackets.

    One more question... recently I've got one big gladiator uprising. Three big armies commanded by Crixus, Spartacus an Otelio, this last name I haven't found yet in the descr_name file. Do you know which one is?

    The name should be:
    Code:
    {Oenomaus}			Oliatos
