[Moritol]

HELP i started to play georgian campaing i had 15000 cash but expenss was 2500 even if did nothing i even dismissed majority of the army but the expenss was still huge is this kind of bug? if sin's can anyone help me cause i frequently lose money no matter what i do (sorry for english hope you understand)

It is not a bug, your army upkeep is just pretty high, thanks to your generals.

Solution:
Usually I never disband units, you shouldn't do that either. You have two armies standing around, use them to conquer both Yerevan and Ganja (= with a minor cavalry army, the rebels should rally out after your turn).
Build merchant's wharfs in Sokhumi and Kutaisi and get a trade agreement with Byzanz -you have a diplomat standing around near Trebizond.
And get some merchants, you can build 3.
All this should happen during your first turn when you still have money.

Playing as the Eastern Roman Empire and I get a repeatable CTD when I try to defend Seleukeia.
It happens both when I attack the besieging army with an army from outside and when I just wait for them to attack my settlement.

I am playing with RBBR and the No AoR submod by Soulblade, though I don't think it is relevant here.

I uploaded the savegame: Attachment 225612

It would be better if you attached BC log. I won't be able to recreate it, because you are using submods, and my installation is modified, so there may be other interference in play.

Here is the system log:

Attachment 226098

I think the problem has to do with one of the Armenian units. Every time I try to fight that army I get a CTD, doesn't matter which one of my armies I use. So maybe it is EDU problem, but I am not that experienced.

By the way, how can I refresh my system log? It ignores some of my M2-mods.

I think I found the cause of my CTD. It occurs because of the Italian Merc Crossbow unit, you can recruit them in ports, but they are not available in custom battles and I can't find them in the EDU.
I played custom battles with every other unit which was in this CTD army, all went smooth.

I know that I have a RC EDU, so can you please check if they are in your "vanilla" EDU? If it contains this unit, can you send me your EDU, so I can add them?
If that unit is just a relic, I have to change the EDB and remove them from ports.

Here's the EDU entry for Italian Mercenary Crossbowmen:

hi everyone I have one major problem in BC 2.3.2 when i am moving mouse cursor over unit card in battle there is no information about there numbers, morale and etc. anyone knows solution?

[k/t]

I also got crashes when trying to play a battle with the Italian Mercenary Crossbowmen. The log said the texture was missing. This was a clean 2.3.2.2 install.

[TMK]

Have you searched for the texture? Is it there in your BC mod files?

@GIGABYTE: Explain further. Can you see white marks where the info is supposed to be or can you see nothing at all?

[GIGABYTE]

I reinstalled game and everything works perfect

[Moritol]

I copied and pasted the missing Italian merc Crossbow files in my EDU, now I can't start the game anymore.

I can't find them in my EDB either, but it says that I can recruit Levy M. Crossbows (Polen = Armenia). As far as I know they exist in custom battles.

Note: I tried this :
Remove the

file_first = true

lines from the bc_kingdoms.cfg file.

didn't work.

[wudang_clown]

What BC version do you have?

[Desperado Outlaw]

I think the latest one 2.3 with a patch hotfix

[wudang_clown]

Is it 2.3 + 2.3.2 + 2.3.2.2?

EDIT:

Have you modified your BC installation?

Do your other saves work fine?

[Desperado Outlaw]

Is it 2.3 + 2.3.2 + 2.3.2.2?

EDIT:

Have you modified your BC installation?

Do your other saves work fine?

Yeah it's 2.3.2.2.

I'm using these two submods : "RR/RC for Broken Crescent" and "All scripts available for players - For BC players!".

I have 10 precious saves of the same campaign, and none of them is working. It's the only campaign I've been playing with this mod.

I didn't modify any of mod files since I started the campaign.

[wudang_clown]

Another question (sorry for spamming them, but they come one at a time ): what years did you saved apart 1204?

[Desperado Outlaw]

ok something good happened just now. Some of the saves suddenly worked, like five of them. Fortunately for me, the latest one of them is in the year 1202, so not too far.
However, and answering to your question, 6 of the saves didn't work(including the Auto-save), and I think that all of them that didn't work are in the year 1204, I'm not sure though.

[wudang_clown]

Hmm, I would suspect old 4th crusade script bug if I wasn't sure I've fixed it.

I wonder, does anyone else still experience that old bug. If so, please anyone, report it here.

Other than that, you have plenty of other errors in the log.

19:16:40.547 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/Broken_Crescent_kingdoms/data/descr_engines.txt, at line 1377, column 28

...which I haven't met before. I don't think they are critical, as the game skips the problem, apparently, but I can't be sure.

Try to replay those turns you've lost, save game each turn, and go past, say, 1208 or even 1210, don't quit before. Then try if new saves from 1203-1210 work and let me know.

Hi I am getting an error - Windows cannot find 'kingdoms.exe' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
What could be the reason for the error. I am installing the game on C:M2TW\mod

[megalitho]

Have you installed the 1.05 patch? Do the kingdoms campaigns run?

[wudang_clown]

C:M2TW\mod

Just for sake of clarity - it should be C:\M2TW\mods.

[Shivaji]

You are right the Kingdoms campaigns are not running. It keeps demanding the original Kingdoms dvd which I insert but the request keeps popping up. BTW the MTW2 base game runs. Yes I have installed the 1.5 patch using this link http://www.gamershell.com/download_24608.shtml

Yes I stand corrected, its C:M2TW\mods and when I install the 3 installers the ...\Broken_Crescent_kingdoms gets added automatically. I direct all 3 installers into the ...\mods folder.

Correct its C:\M2TW\mods. I am directing all 3 installers into the ...\mods folder and the ...\Broken_Crescent_kingdoms gets added automatically.

BTW I have installed the MTW2 base game and the Kingdom expansions not in the default C:program files\Sega... I have dont it on the C: drive on a separate folder. Do you think this might create issues. I remember in the instructions it was mentioned to install the game on a separate folder to avoid problems.
