My Mapping crashes

[xpoing]

Hi again!

I've edited following files:
descr_regions.txt
descr_strat
imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names
[/TD]


[/TR]
[/TABLE]

but the game crashed. The system.log says that it doesn't recognise the name "Comté"...
Can someone help me out?

Here are the names of the settlements:

It looks like your descr_regions is not using internal names. e.g. It has "Comté du Maine" and "Le Mans" instead of "Comté_du_Maine" and "Le_Mans".

And your imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names isn't mapping internal names to game names, just internal names to internal names. Should be:

{Comté_du_Maine}Comté du Maine
{Le_Mans}Le Mans

I'm not sure if "é" is allowed or not as an internal name character. I though they must be pure ASCII characters, not "extended ASCII" ones.

[Gigantus]

Uh, oh - special characters within the curly brackets is asking for trouble, you are right. It should be:

{Comte_du_Maine}Comté du Maine

Change your entries accordingly in all files, and don't use ANY special characters within the curly brackets. another example:

Duché_de_Normandie_(Bayeux_&_Lisieux)

Simply do this:

{Duche_de_Normandie_BL}Duché de Normandie (Bayeux & Lisieux)

Recommendation: keep the names within the curly brackets short - you will be using those in any script you might make. Suggestion:

{D_de_Norm_BL}Duché de Normandie (Bayeux & Lisieux)

[xpoing]

I've changed it, but I get an unknown error (nothing is marked in the log-file)
In the "descr_regions.txt & descr_start.txt I need to write the name in { } right?

If you have only worked with the settlement and region names then you have to make sure that the entries are the same.

The game uses the name that you enter in the curly brackets, which means you have to make sure that it is the same in descr_regions, descr_strat and imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names - you obviously don't use the brackets when entering the name in descr_regions and descr_strat.

The black pixels for your settlements in the map_regions file have the wrong RGB value, they are using 1,1,1 instead of 0,0,0

Corrected that but the game still crashes, I'll check further

Here are the other steps I took to get your mod going:

- one region had a pixel with the wrong RGB value (descr_regions)
- the settlement of anjou touched a neighboring region (descr_regions)
- the slave faction had an invalid region in descr_win_conditions
- added 8 regions to break up the massive 'Europe' region (stability)
- removed 0,0,0 RGB values from map_heights (look black but get created as water)

The corrected files are here, simply extract into you my mapping directory

[xpoing]

it worked

I tried to add 10 more regions but the game crashed again.
Log file doesn't specifies the error. Could you check it out?

- the RGB value of 0,0,0 for the cities should be good

here are the files:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zkrazjjfg...pping.rar?dl=0

[Gigantus]

You never fixed the mismatched pixel at the left, why didn't you use the files I uploaded - you could simply delete the new regions in Geomod.
And added another mismatched pixel
The region I marked seems to have a complete RGB mismatch

[xpoing]

I don' understand. I took the bucket-tool in my image program. Now it should be good. But the game crashes. Did I forgot any pixels?

[Gigantus]

It's still the pixel on the left. In Geomod it's position 79, 116

[xpoing]

thx !!!!

I'll double check next time... I can't explain why some pixels have other tones.

@Gigantus: can I change the faction name in your "my mapping" mode. I know how to change it but I also want to change the
ingame name like: {H_Normandy} - ingame & "House of Normandy" in the game.
I want to replace all "england"-names to "House of Normandy"

[xpoing]

I've added 10 more regions. The campaign will start but the game crashes:

Here are the files (with log-file):

First clear out all the placement errors, then see if it still crashes. As the errors say: 'invalid placement' - which usually means that the settlement sits on impassable terrain.

Are you using the Geomod tool to work with your map? Then switch the ground type display on to check and correct the placement, here is the manual for the tool to get you going with stuff like that.

[xpoing]

thx Gigantus!

I've corrected the placement errors (the log file doesn't show any errors). But the game crashes when I start the campaign and try to scroll down.
Could someone look at it?

It's the very same issue I told you in the very first response: your 'europe' region is way too big and you need to split it up into about 6 evenly sized regions. You didn't bother to use my corrected files that time so I won't bother to upload them this time.

[xpoing]

Thank you very much Gigantus!!!

I've added to big regions and it worked. I thought that it had to do with the amount of regions not the size. That's why I didn't adapted your repartition.
Sorry for that. I'm having a lot of fun now adding my regions

How about adding more factions to my mod? I've posted another issue here:

This is what I want to achieve at the end:

You can have 200 regions inclusive of sea regions - in your case the game gets unstable if the region size is too big in relation to other regions, eg a more 'distributed' region set up is required.

Responded in your other thread.
