Have you checked Gigantus post on this page? http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...llation/page65

**assurbanippal** · April 05, 2014, 04:22 AM

I already got the right log

**Gigantus** · April 05, 2014, 11:43 PM

This is the autowin siege of Laurelorn by Nordland if the slave faction owns that settlement. If memory serves correct it's at the very beginning of the game.

Unfortunately the game has been plagued by what appears to be random crashes at these sieges. You can remove this script part by deleting rows 23152 to 23182, it will marginally affect game play but is not essential. A restart of the game is necessary then for this to take effect.
Do keep a back up of the campaign_script file just in case.

**assurbanippal** · April 06, 2014, 05:17 AM

thx mate ,It works fine right now

**Gigantus** · April 06, 2014, 05:55 AM

Glad to hear.

Guess I am pushing my luck abit when posting this error here but I really want to play the campaign as both fan of Total War and Warhammer. Finally stumbled upon this thread which differs from the other Call of Warhammer downloads I have been trying so far, followed the instrucstions in the beginning of the thread to the letter but still get errors when playing (crashes occurs randomly, most often when it is the enemies turns, last crash however was during a battle which never happened before). So far I have been able to play Dark Elfs to turn 10 or so before an error occured but when playing Sylvania I cant get past turn 3, this is what the latest log said:

This will probably be my last try to get this Mod to work, a shame really since it looks so great :/

**assurbanippal** · April 09, 2014, 08:55 AM

If crash comes when ai got reinforcements there is fix here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...ment-crash-fix Post #4

**Koffen** · April 09, 2014, 10:51 AM

Im not that brilliant when it comes to tasks involving files and scripts, cant seem to find that campaign_script.txt file at all. Did however install ReallyBadAI etc but after installing and running it, selecting Rage_of_dark_Gods I have two options. 1 ReallyBadAI for misc.mods and 2 ReallyBadAI Hardcore Addon. I checked the nr 1 box and get this:

Error while processing ReallyBadAI_Universal.txt
File Rage_of_dark_Gods/data/battle_config.xml does not contain <unti-tasks>
Operation aborted.

Im totaly clueless but do appriciate the help

**Vossie** · April 09, 2014, 03:31 PM

Not sure what you did there but you did something wrong. How do you mean you installed ReallybadAI? The mod itself already includes this..

I'd recommend a fresh install ( Make sure to delete your virtualStore folder located in Default: C:\Users\YourUsernameHere\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Rage_of_dark_Gods
and try again using all steps provided in the first 2 posts by Gigantus. Make sure you apply all hotfixes/patches in the right order.

Other things that might help:

- Disable UAC
- Run as Administator
- Fresh download ( Your download could have been corrupted )
- Fresh install of Medieval II ( Make sure Kingdoms is patched to 1.5 )

PS: Your campaign_script is located here: Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Rage_of_dark_Gods\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

**assurbanippal** · April 09, 2014, 03:37 PM

You have to install only really bad ai v5.7 (dont fill the other cells) after that choose Cow. Once done that, look for a folder called g5, go to manual_integration , cut the folders inside and paste them into Rage of dark gods folder (overwritte)

**Koffen** · April 10, 2014, 07:24 AM

Thanks for all the help so far, everything runs far more smoother now when it is AIs turns, I did however encounter a crash after a few turns anyway, this is what the log says:

I did however fill in the misc. mod cell as well as CoW when installing the ReallyBadAI so maybe thats the problem, I will rerun the setup and make sure only Cow is selected before manually copying over the files this time. Just checking but I shall copy the campaign script provided in the http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...ment-crash-fix link after I have ran the ReallyBadAI setup and manually copied those files correct?

**Koffen** · April 10, 2014, 08:49 AM

Before I forget I also noticed some differences after applying the new campaign script as well as ReallyBadAI, in the begining of Sylvana campagin you always get a message about, well basicly, whats going on. After replacing the files however that message does no longer come up.
Since I have tried the russian download before this one there was another thing I noticed, when playing Slannesh in the russian version (after applying the english voice translation of course) they had different voice sets, in this version Slannesh voices are that of Khorne, not a big thing perhaps but really liked the voices they had in the russian version. Feels abit weird when Slannesh worshippers screams "For Khorne and the Blood God"

Well, really wish I could play this campaign at any rate without constant crashes.

Here's your problem. Not sure what you did but your descr_strat file is giving you errors. I suggest you try to use a clean one.

**Koffen** · April 10, 2014, 06:33 PM

Well I figured something was completely off so once again I did a clean install of both Mediveal2 and CoW(RoDG). Followed every step in the first two posts in the thread and advices given above but still got a crash at round six. Keepts in mind that somone before wrote there was a problem around that turn (some AI sige or the like so I tried again and made it pass that turn. Anyway, made it all the way till turn 17 (AI Rebels defending against sige from my army) before next crash and the log said this:

Anyway, think the script file im using is actually the one uploaded by assurbanippal (third post from above). I dont know... Keep getting these random crashes starts to take its toll on me

Really dont want to restart the Sylvania campagin again "sigh".
Thanks for all the help provided tho ^_^

**QuePL** · April 12, 2014, 10:30 AM

Hi all.
I'm new to the forum, I came couse I've got problem with the projectile crush. I installed the 005 patch and tried to install the quickfix, idownloaded it and excracted it into the data folder. Then I launched a custom battlt to chack if it helped and when my Earthsheakers were suppost to fier the game crusher : ''Sigma preserve us...'' etc. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

**Koffen** · April 12, 2014, 01:10 PM

Got a crash directly after winning a battle as Slannesh versus Chaos Rebels, uploading the traced loged. Ideas?

**Alhaioth** · April 12, 2014, 06:55 PM

DO NOT install the AI separately. It might work, but it doesn't seem worth the effort. I recall someone had this problem before. Just use what's provided with the mod. I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall it from scratch again... The game itself can stay, though. Use only the fixes provided by Gigantus in this thread, they're the only ones guaranteed to be up to date.

The English voices are all the same for all Chaos factions, I think. Yeah, it's weird. I have to deal with Dragon Princes shouting "Forth, Silver Helms!" and other such things.

**Koffen** · April 13, 2014, 05:36 AM

Haha alright, never have I put so much effort in getting a mod to work but man I love it so I will do it, back to scratch.

Regarding the voices one should take a look at this thread: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...oW-1-51/page25
Galloper's voicest is up to date, however apperntly you need a fix made by RCOG (page 24) in that thread to get it to work with Gigantus RoDG, I cant seem to be able to download that fix however.
