You need to have descriptions for the building trees in export_buildings, otherwise opening the building browser in the game will lead to a crash:

{temple_s_pagan_name}name of building group
{temple_s_pagan_castle_name}name of building group

I can't see any other problem. Can you submit a log of your crash?

[chrisnl]

thank you . when you say descriptions, do you mean the descriptions of {temple_s_pagan_name} ? or f.eks :

{small_chapel_p_eastern_european}Small Chapel_p
{small_chapel_p_eastern_european_desc}Castle life may be different from that in a city, but the need to pay respects to God is no different for those stationed in such an outpost. Thus, constructing a Small Chapel is a mandatory exercise for any lord who hopes to satiate his subjects’ sense of spirituality, as well as stave off the ever-present threat of heresy.
{small_chapel_p_eastern_european_desc_short}A Small Chapel converts a very small percentage of the region to Catholicism, and improves happiness.

becuase the descriptions is already there just as a normal catholic church .

my game dont crash, its very strange the faction just remain as catholic but i cant build churches.

sorry for my bad english

[Gigantus]

You have to add those two lines in the description - it is the name of the 'group'. eg 'Pagan City Churches' and 'Pagan Castle Churches'

Are you modding the main game or do you work in a mod folder? Working with the main game has several pit falls, I would suggest to use my modding set up to try out things like these.

[chrisnl]

Okay thanks i wil try that out ! . yes i am modding the main game and its very difficult i think . i dont suppose maybe you have a pagan faction you have modded witch file i can use ?

[Gigantus]

You will find that things are much easier with the set up - and I haven't got a set up with a pagan faction

[chrisnl]

okay . so this is a modding program of a sort ?

[chrisnl]

is thos only for modding maps ?

[chrisnl]

hey i have tried it out thank so much ! . finaly i can pley a pagan greek faction. but how to you chose units for your faction ?

[Gigantus]

How to add an existing unit to another faction

[chrisnl]

thank you but in that thread they say i have to change files in Battle_model.modeldb but i cant seem to find the file in Geomod or Bare Geomod. ?

[Gigantus]

BG comes without a modeldb file as it's not needed for the tool. You can find formatted files here. If you just work with the basic BG set up then it shouldn't matter which one you use, the americas one is difficult to read with the checker, so stay clear of that one. I recommend using the basic (vanilla) one.

[irakuna]

I'm sorry to post in such an old thread but i require assistance to the level of your expertise Gigantus. I've followed this guide to the letter, and my files are all setup correctly, I double check them against the files of chrisnl you checked over. the problem i'm having is that despite changing the religion of the faction i want to change in descr_sm_factions to pagan, they are still catholic with all catholic buildings when i load into grand campaign, I removed the faction i wanted to change from all the catholic buildings and still to no avail. can you help me find what im doing wrong? I'm sure that if i can get the faction to register as pagan the rest (buildings & such) will line in fine.

here is the faction copy-pasted from descr_sm_factions

[Gigantus]

Pre-existing buildings (descr_strat) will still have the old religion, you need to have buildings that have the pagan religion and that the faction can build otherwise remove them in the desc_strat file. Most of all you need to start a new campaign.

[irakuna]

so I went into the descr_strat and removed the catholic church scotland starts with, but the faction itself was still undeniably catholic. Despite following the steps on the first page of this thread, scotland is still catholic, and it seems the buildings i've added aren't accessable for some reason... tried adding a starting pagan temple for scotland and the grand campaign refused to launch, my text files are near identical to chrisnl, and you said his were fine. I don't know what i'm missing. (also i always try with new/fresh campaigns never with existing savegames)

[Gigantus]

Well, something isn't identical.

Put the descr_sm_factions, EDB and descr_strat files into one folder and then compress (7Zip is freeware) and upload them. I'll have a look.

[irakuna]

I appreciate your assistance, i'm trying to make a small scale mod for me and my freinds. The only only differences I can see is that I'm using different names for the buildings, and trying to do multiple factions.

[Gigantus]

descr_strat - the ai_label pagan does not exist in the base game, use default

descr_sm_factions - looks fine to me, but you used [SPACE] instead of [TAB] to get pagan to align with the other definitions, try to correct that by deleting the space between the words and then use the TAB button to align it.

EDB - I am suspecting that using temple in the building names is causing trouble, this is a special term in the EDB, indicating that only one building with this pre-fix maybe build in a settlement. Rename these buildings and don't forget to change it in export_buildings as well

levels shrine hermitage temple sanctum grand_sanctum
levels shrine_of_war temple_of_war

export_buildings - do you have entries for the name of the building trees? If not then the game will crash if you open the building browser.

{temple_s_pagan_name}Your text here
{temple_s_pagan_castle_name}Your text here

[irakuna]

I changed the ai_label to default and used a fresh unmodified .txt file of descr_strat to make sure i didnt mess up any alignments with extra deletes or spaces.

on descr_sm_factions I again, grabbed an unmodified fresh .txt file of it and re-did the edits so that the alignments weren't modified with spaces.

in export_descr_buildings i changed the levels to shrine hermitage covenant sanctum grand_sanctum for cities, and for castles shrine_of_war and sanctum_of_war so that the term temple is no longer used by my modifications.

in my export_buildings i originally had it as
{temple_s_pagan_castle_name}Temples
{temple_s_pagan_name}Temples
So i changed that to Circles.

however, after these corrections, I load the game and scotland/poland/hungary/denmark are still catholic, they can build catholic churches and their priests still convert to catholicism and they show up in the popes menu. Even if we are both missing something I did wrong in the export_buildings and export_descr_buildings, shouldn't the factions have been changed to pagan by the corrected modifications in descr_sm_factions and descr_strat?

I don't understand where we are going wrong, why the game isn't recognizing the changes....
