    Default Crash after modding - troubleshooting

    Hi

    I've been modding MTW2 for about 2 months and up to now everything worked fine. I have added a new faction with banners, symbols, new textures and new units. I have started playing in the campaign and then realized I need even more units. Then I started modding again and everything worked fine in the custom battle, but the game crashes after the loading screen of the campaign.

    I have changed a lot of files and I simply do not know where to look for the error. The thing is I can load my previous savegame but can not recruit most of the units, so I suspected the error has something to do with the export_descr_buildings file. But that wasn't the problem as I found out when replacing it with the original (game crashed at the same point).

    Is there a way to find out which file causes the crash? There is no error message, the screen just stays black. Or does someone know, which file could cause a crash at that point?

    If its loading a campaign, then may be files in the world folder or some other text files that has a part in the campaign map.

    Error found

    It was in the descr_strat file (allthough I did not change that one) for one thing. For the other there was some problem with the descr_units which caused to crash the game as well at the same point.

    Found the error by unpacking the game again after I´ve done backup of the mod. Then I copied one file aftre the other into the mod folder again until the game crashed. It took me about 2.5 hours but anyway it works to find the error
