GRANTOZ OIM VER.3.1.4 {beta submod conversion}

[johnswan]

next patch will see transalvanyian ,zapo coassacks and army of don campaigns very much playable and enjoyable , i have given these factions a mining economy{which has some historical evidence i have found} and now they have a chance to stand up for themselves {but its still a challenge} and a more immersive campaign , and many thanks to JOHNSWAN who has undertaken the rest of the english text files and done a grand job and is now converting the dreaded 'event strings file' which i was not looking forward to doing myself , thanks johnswan , were well on the way to having complete english throughout the whole mod .

Cheers mate,
i`m working thru it slowly,just trying to make it sound a bit more 16th-17th century so `gods` become `God`,`Pharoah`becomes `King` etc,etc.Some of the language is ok as it was as it could work for any era.Also removing any reference to `Romans`,`Senate`etc


`progress report` - have now got as far as `buildings captured`
hope to finish before xmas.

I reinstalled everything like you said,but still the same problem...it goes to the faction selection menu and after i click the faction it goes back to desktop.
lol...i'm not a noob in mods or modding myself...but this is beyond me...
There is no error log,so i dont know what the issue is.

yeah rite mate , nobody else has reported this , ok , is it xp or win 7 you are using ? is it rome tw gold or rtw +bi? , did you put -show_err on the pathway command line? that crash usualy happens because something in the descr_strat is not right , theres been 100 downloads in the last week and nobody has had that problem , if you pm i will help you to resolve it because i know how sh#t it is when a mod wont run properly

win 7...rtw-bi..retail version
I just put -show_err behind it...no message after ctd...
Deleting map.rmw...didn't help either.
I really dont know where it went wrong.I'm not new to rtw mods...so i know how to fix some things,but here i just dont know what tthe prob is...since it goes into the mod.
Some descriptions of the faction menu's are still old roman ones...am i right?

Yup...lolzzz...after so many years of exp in rtw mods,i failed for that one hahahaha...
Thx for helping me out

It starts fine now,but when i closed the game i got an error message:

Script Error in bi/data/world/map/campaign/Oim/descr_strat.txt
at line 1191 column 31
resource silver positioned on 30,184
wich is an invalid tile

I start it again and will check how far i come without crashing

Edit: I forgot to activate the script the first time,man i'm such a noob sometimes hahahaha

Another question...i play on hard campaign,as prussia how do i fight off the danes and austria at the same time?
And now i was so stupid to accept a alliance with the russians...and they are an enemy of poland...damn,now he is gathering on my borders to...great lol

good , the script error is harmless and comes from the 1.2 version a silver mine is on a wrong tile . the next patch will have sorted that, to activate the script , click faction summary then show me hoe on the advisor, i personaly have not got round to playing prussia but as for the small factions they are very difficult to play in this build , i have given them more of a fighting chance in the next patch , but im sure you will agree its looking good so far

It looks great man
And now i have to get used to the army's....i lost against a rebel yesterday,didn't expect that the enemy general could waste so many of my cav

[GRANTO]

yes i have gave the battle mechanics an overhaul to make the battles longer and more intense , in the next patch i have tweaked this even more for large battles that can last 10-20 minutes , i would recommend playing hard/very hard for full effect , but as i said in the current state the small factions have a mamoth task but the next patch will see them with mining economys.i also have a 12tpy script to finish off and release and hope to add late units from ewtw to each faction.

I noticed that the cities and towns population seems a bit low. Is this historical?

untouched by me , these are oim original populations by the creators i havent got that far yet

Had my first `crash `today,it was 1588 and my Hungarian`s had just repulsed an Ottoman siege,when i clicked on Ozeck afterwards i got a black screen and error message,will auto -resolve that turn and carry on, i should point out i am using a downloaded version of Rome/BI-Gold with no disk,save game attached if anyone wants to try it out

i will have a look at your save , the odd crash is okay and even happens on the original rtw/bi/alex but if it becomes a reccurent theme then there is a problem , cheers for letting me know

[johnswan]

no worries,
i have just found out that the city of Osijek causes the problem,i destroyed some buildings there so maybe that`s it.What i`ve done is abandon the city before playing a turn and have moved on to 1589 so at least i wont get anymore probs from that.Still havent had an actual crah to desktop as such,more like freezes.

good news i just played your save game on my new patch {which is oim 1.31 effectivly} alex exe and there seems to be no problems , played 15 years no fail and no problem with Osijek here are some of the units from the next patch {i think }

Hi GRANTO
first - wonderful work with this mod
second - how to recruit Husaria and other late units in campaign?
Thanks for answer

hi michell , yes and thank you , the makers of oim done a great piece of work and this is my vision of it , late units are linked to the building tree , i cant remember of the top of my head but i think late hussar are linked to elite stables and royal palace , certain buildings will trigger a reform for some factions also , Archaeopterix would probably be able to give you a detailed answer enjoy

Having a great campaign at present as the Zaporozhian cossacks (my third!), although I ran into a frustrating CTD after a heroic victory against the Crimean Tatars. I'd been besieging their main city in Crimea (can't think of the name right now, but it's in the cossacks' faction objectives) and, after being attacked by––and utterly annihilating––two full stacks, I clicked on my general and got a CTD. At first, I thought that it was due to the graphics being overtaxed (as we all know happens in RTW), but then I fought (and won) the battle for a second time and CTDed in the same way as the first. It might have something to do with mercenary pools in that region, since both times I was looking to see which mercenaries were available. Suffice it to say, I left my general alone after that and the problem seems to have resolved itself. Anyway, this has been my first persistent CTD in what has otherwise been a very pleasant and stable gaming experience.

I'm still playing on the RTW-BI engine. I've decided to wait for the new patch before making the transition to ALX. Also, and quite contrary to my expectations, I actually enjoy having the Nogai Horde around, since it forces you to keep on your toes. The campaign should be renamed: "Diplomacy and Intimidation."

Still, I can't wait for that patch!

EDIT: Aha! I pinned it down. The CTD happens when viewing the settlement details for the city of Bakhchisarài -- happens as soon as I click on the unit training button.

LAST EDIT: It's also happening with Or Boynu –– whenever I click the unit button. I haven't had this problem with these cities in my other campaigns, which is weird, considering this is the exact same install.
