    Default Descr_Strat adventure

    I am trying to make a little mod for myself that will change the positions of the factions to roughly match those of 129 BC just to change things up a little bit. I was almost finished with the romans and all the only areas I had left to change belonged to Spain and Macedon. When I tried to turn the Spanish armies into roman armies the game kept crashing. Show_err didn't show me what the problem was. The problem must be in this section because before I added it in it worked fine.


    Here is the part of the code I put in for the romans_julii

    Code:
    settlement
    {
    level large_town
    region Gallaecia
     
    year_founded 0
    population 2500
    plan_set default_set
    faction_creator romans_julii
    building
    {
    type barracks muster_field
    }
    building
    {
    type core_building governors_villa
    }
    building
    {
    type defenses wooden_pallisade
    }
    }
     
    settlement
    {
    level large_town
    region Lusitania
     
    year_founded 0
    population 2200
    plan_set default_set
    faction_creator romans_julii
    building
    {
    type core_building governors_villa
    }
    building
    {
    type missiles practice_field
    }
    building
    {
    type defenses wooden_pallisade
    }
    }
     
    settlement
    {
    level town
    region Hispania
     
    year_founded 0
    population 2000
    plan_set default_set
    faction_creator romans_julii
    building
    {
    type core_building governors_house
    }
    building
    {
    type defenses wooden_pallisade
    }
    building
    {
    type barracks muster_field
    }
    }
     
    settlement
    {
    level town
    region Taraconenis
     
    year_founded 0
    population 1500
    plan_set default_set
    faction_creator romans_julii
    building
    {
    type core_building governors_house
    }
    building
    {
    type barracks muster_field
    }
    }

    Hey, if that is all the code you have for a faction then you're missing a "leader" and a "heir" there.

    Hmmm, I'm not sure but I thought there was an structure to follow in desc_strat, like, you know, Faction, settlements and then armies, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you did not follow this?

    I don't know if this can crash the game, anyways, can you pm the file, please?

    Umm, I may be wrong but you you're trying to give the romans_julii units in their army which they are not the "owener" of in EDU so that will give you a CTD every single time. Not every faction has access to every unit in the game.

    I took off the part after the

    because people seemed to get confused that this part was still in the descr_strat file. The part that is still on my original post is the part that is in the file.
    Thanks for responding to this.

    Could you put the code inside inside [code] tags, so we can see the actual spacing.

    Aside from unit ownership, if you give another faction a region that belonged to someone else, make sure you took that region AWAY from that 'someone else'. Also, make sure you took the army that 'someone else' had in that region, out of that region. descr_strat.txt will tolerate 'a mistake' or two, but if you make a bunch of mistakes, your reward is a view of your desktop.

    I would say if you are having CTD's after doing this, then you have made MANY mistakes, and -show_err just can't cope with them all.

    It could be that you are giving the Juili the Scipio characters and the name Scipio is in descr_names for the Juili

    Since this is for the julii faction did you add the surname Scipio into the julii section of descr_names.txt?
