CTD campaign map during AI turns

[Hallett]

Hello,

system log set to trace shows these 'errors' which I understand are normal:

18:12:06.640 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/EBII/data/export_descr_buildings.txt, at line 31656, column 3
Building DB error - faction f_boii has gap in building prior to stock_one
18:12:06.640 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/EBII/data/export_descr_buildings.txt, at line 31656, column 3

18:12:06.640 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/EBII/data/export_descr_buildings.txt, at line 31656, column 3

Building DB error - faction f_belgai has gap in building prior to stock_two

and then no errors until the end of the log:

The only 'errors' I can find.

I'll upload the whole log as a zip later if you prefer, have to go to work atm.

Cheers

Does the crash repeat? I'm afraid I can't tell anything from that extract, and if you've got the default logging on (which you should) that won't tell us anything more than there was a crash.

[Hallett]

It consistently crashes at the end of the AI turns.

That extract is from a system.log file I found in the Medieval 2 Total War folder. It doesn't change, other than timestamps, whether I have ebii.cfg logging set to default or trace.

I can't find any logs in the log folder in ebii?

I also get a CTD if I try to start a historical battle.


Are these normal:

?

[QuintusSertorius]

If it doesn't have [error] in it, then it doesn't really concern us.

I need the whole log set to trace if you have a recurrent crash.

The whole log set to trace, assuming I uploaded it properly.

[QuintusSertorius]

Something is going on here:

13:19:44.328 [game.script.exec] [trace] exec <generate_random_counter> at line 32185 in mods/EBII/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/campaign_script.txt

13:19:44.328 [system.rpt] [error] Unspecified error. Please compress your error log in a zip format and upload it on the EBII technical help forum.

But without a copy of the campaign_script, I can't work out exactly what it's doing. Could you zip and attach yours?

Also what faction are you playing?

[Hallett]

Playing as Roman, 'Senatus Populusque Romans'.

I found 3 campaign_script files in the data folder of the mod, 6 outside of the the folder EB2 is in. I believe this is the one you need? This one was in ...\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign (13,487 kb)

the other two are in
...maps\campaign\custom_old\tarabostes_campaign (229 kb)
...maps\campaign\sample_campaigns\koinon_hellenon (4 kb)

[QuintusSertorius]

OK, I've found the source, it's faction re-emergence for the Pritanoi:

    monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionType slave
        and I_CompareCounter f_casse_emerge > 1
        console_command create_building sett_007 ros_target
        set_counter sett_007_riot 1

Could you have a look at Maidunon with the fog of war turned off and perfect_spy activated (via the F1 key)? Is it full of buildings?

EDIT: There was an error with the Pritanoi faction re-emergence I fixed a while back, which made it spawn repeatedly. I wonder if that's what you're seeing here?

[Hallett]

I bet you thirty Pritanoi stacks you are right..

And yes Maidunon is stuffed full of buildings, I didn't count but there must be around a hundred in there. Funny because I destroyed everything pre re-emergence.

I was able to continue playing several turns after the sea of Pritanoi stacks appeared, so didn't think that was causing the crash.

[QuintusSertorius]

Does that fix the problem? Unfortunately, you can't change the script for a game in motion, but that's something I corrected for 2.35 a long time ago.

I'm not sure what to change in the campaign_script to stop that chunk of code you pointed out from looping?

Version 2.3

Version 2.3

Unless you want to start a new game, there's not much point. Script changes only apply with a new campaign.

[Hallett]

Alright, I’ll download 2.35 and start again. Thank you for walking me through this Quintus, it is appreciated.

Has 2.35 been released? Don't see it anywhere.

[QuintusSertorius]

Has 2.35 been released? Don't see it anywhere.

No, it's in the works.

[lordmalcador]

I have the same problem. How can I fix it in the campaign_script? I tried removing it, still have the problem.
