FO 0.9 - Bugs, Errors and Installation Difficulties

[Caligula Caesar]

I'll have to take a look at that then.

I'll have to take a look at that then.

Thanks...I'll be waiting to campaign

EDIT:Any joy? I want to start a campaign

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

Oops double post.

It is just the Seleukid campaign, in which I cannot save!
EDIT: No tell a lie it's most that I have tried, but not Romans

[Caligula Caesar]

I think it's the unit size script. At least, there's a similar problem in VII, and I've been pointed to it.

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

So how do get I get around it?
EDIT:
Just noticed something else, the Roman campaign is the only one which mentions loading 4tpy script

[Caligula Caesar]

Well I'm currently recoding the unit size script. It's rather antique - the game should really just register it as a pile of garbage, because none of the characters and none of the settlements in it are actually in the game!

The 4tpy script seems to start with every faction for me.

[Caligula Caesar]

Ok, it's fixed now, I'm preparing the files for uploading. I fixed the "ghost" as well, btw - it was because the game doesn't like tabs in certain files.

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

Sorry, me again. Getting CTD on campaign map apparently randomly when selecting a polis

[Ballpoint202]

After a little investigating with a Roma campaign on M/M, no advice, manage all settlements, follow AI characters, I discovered that I get a CTD each time I click on the Settlement Details button for Ariminum, Paestum, Rhegium and Bovianum. I get no CTD clicking Settlement Details for Roma, Capua, Arretium and Tarantum.

This was done using patch 2 and without altering any of your files.

Also, I played one Roman campaign through Autumn of 265 BCE with slightly altered EDB and EDU and descr_strat files. I captured Messina and Genua and I get CTD from clicking Settlement Details for both of those cities as well.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this mod. I can't wait for a final version.

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

I agree this will be one if not, my favourite mods !

[Ballpoint202]

Upon further review, it seems that cities with a negative "base farm level" (per descr_regions.txt file) seem to crash when you click on settlement details, while those with a base farm level of zero and above don't suffer the settlement details CTD. I've so far checked about 10 cities in Asia Minor, Egypt and Spain in addition to the ones I mentioned above.

[Ballpoint202]

Okay, I just checked four other mods I have (EB, XC, RTRVII, ExRM) and none of them seem to have any regions with negative base farming.

I think negative base farm levels may be a problem.

[Ballpoint202]

I edited the file, adjusting all negative base farm levels to zero, and the CTDs went away. It is not save game compatible, though, so I must go forth once again from the beginning!

[Caligula Caesar]

Thanks Ballpoint! I was quite puzzled about those CTDs. I suspected they had something to do with the government buildings - I don't think I would have come up with that. I'll sort out a fix for that.

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

Does that mean, the random settlement CTDs too

[Caligula Caesar]

Which are those?

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

On campaign map! It freezes and then CTDs randomly on certain settlements

[Caligula Caesar]

Oh yeah, I've seen that as well. Hopefully this'll fix that as well, I'm testing right now

[Antiokhos Euergetes]

Excellent I appreciate your efforts...this shall be a top notch mod soon

[Caligula Caesar]

I've been unable to trigger the CTD in a short testing period, but that doesn't mean it is definitely fixed. I did select all sorts of settlements, though. Have you seen any sort of pattern to it?
