Eldorien's [MOUNTED and DISMOUNTED] Byzantium Units Reforged v1.0 for SS6.4+BftB2.0 [Released 11-02-2012]

[Double-head of North]

but i hadn't istall the old version..i'm asking if i should have the old version to play the new version...or in this version is included and the previous one?

[Ferdiad]

You have a confusing way of putting things, AFAIK the version he has is all inclusinve.

[Eldorien88]

but i hadn't istall the old version..i'm asking if i should have the old version to play the new version...or in this version is included and the previous one?

You do NOT need the old version to play the new one.
All you have to do is install the new version which includes everything new and old! Hope you get it..

[Lord Ragnar]

@Excuse me Lord Ragnar, but in order to understand correct, are you having those ctd's when trying to apply BGR?


@AntoniusII, but how did you understand that????????????
But, despite that its also more unique and warish to my view...

No, my respected friend. This ctd is from the initial splash screen. ie The Botb 2.0 screen then back to desktop. My installation is only fresh SS6.3/6.4 then select Savage Ai,towers and arrows only. Then install Botb 2.0 No update patch/ Then your fine mod. Thats all

[Eldorien88]

@Lord Ragnar
Ok so this is the correct order of install, so tell me if you miss something:
1. ss6.3
2. ss6.4
3. bftb2.0 + latest hotfix
4. run the set up
5. B.U.R [my sub-mod]

[rummtata]

Hmm, I followed your instructions to the letter but it crashes when I try to launch the game. Log file says:

23:01:01.211 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/SS6.3/data/descr_mount.txt, at line 253, column 1

(I'm not using BGR).

Any suggestions?

Sorry my friend,i must have miss-read your thread as to saying "dont install the Botb patch" or were you ref to your own mods patchs. Great respect I've redownloaded the Botb2.0 And patch will try again. Watch this space

Had that one mate. I'm now onto installation of SS6.3 then 6.4 then Botb2.0 then Botb patch then run installation ie AI savage only nothing else. Then install BUR then see what happens if I need watchtowers Iv'e just pasted the towers in another SS 6.4 mod script and placed them at the bottom of the descr_strat text file I think thats it. ie

script
campaign_script.txt

you can add this as its from the Late Era so fits in well.

best of luck my friend

[Ferdiad]

Could you spoiler that man.

[Hydra82]

Yeah I had simialr probs, quick question, is this not compatible with early campagin? Also before I download your mod, Do i have to set it to exactly Late Era Campaign, Savage AI and Permanent Watchtowers/Arrows, then add your mod? I went to the load screen and then CTD. My error log said

@Hydra82
As i have mentioned some posts above, this is the correct order of install, so tell me if you miss something:
1. ss6.3
2. ss6.4
3. bftb2.0 + latest hotfix
4. run the set up
5. B.U.R [my sub-mod]

Also the sub-mod is meant for Late Era!

Edit: I have placed in the first post in the tag Notices & Installation more detailed directions, so please read them carefully

This unit [Spartharii tou Vasileos] is replaced with Imperial Tagmata, so you have to delete all entries with Spartharii tou Vasileos unit from export_descr_buildings.txt as this unit is not in database anymore.
Anyway, i bet you'll get other errors as I don't know what have you done and in what order (in terms of installation process) AND you simply HAVE TO re-edit a few files to make it working with early era.

Proper installation guide is given upper this thread.

[rummtata]

Dear eldorien, I have deleted and reinstalled SS and your mod by doing precisely what you've recommended. The game started (yay!) but crashed a few seconds after starting the campaign as Byzantium... =/

Here is the complete error log (different errors now )

@rummtata
In what exactly time during your campaign the error occurred my friend?
Was it in a battle? on the Ai's turn?

[rummtata]

The CTD occured on the campaign map - last thing I did was reading a unit' description sheet. When I clicked the 'close' button, the game crashed... what do you make of the error log, does it make any sense to you?

[Eldorien88]

@rummtata
Sorry for the late reply my friend, but unfortunatelly i can't make something from your log. I dont think it has something to do with your error.
In my campaign the game goes smoothly and i have never experienced a problem like yours!
The only thing i would suggest, is to load a previous save, or if it was in the start, try a new one.
Hope it works for you!

Great job eldorien, the units look fantastic

But I must say that the units you've excluded from the game are very useful and fun to play with.
Can I humbuly suggest to consider taking some other ones out in your next work. Like those welsh swordsmen who look like elves, hashishim mercenaries, slav levies, flagellants, viking drenjar(?) and such.

[Eldorien88]

Thank you SH!

But this time i tried to remove those who were of little importance and i have also taken under consideration all of the suggestions about which to remove [remember Armenians...)
The sure thing is that whatever unit is excluded it will always be another one to make you say, it should be that...

Cheers!

[Serbian Hussar]

I suppose you are right, and diferent people have diferent preferences. And I can always manualy configure units to my likeing Just keep them coming
