i am having a slightly strange out of the ordinary unspecified error...

[antaeus]

it only happens when i use the venetian heavy infantry. or fight against them.

i dont know when it started happening, it could have been going on for a while without me knowing it.

but i know the models db and EDU are ok, and its not the geography files, i have gone over and over them. the skin is vanilla and i cant see anything wrong, except for perhaps the space in the filename (which is the same for a number of working skins)

the log simply says "18:06:09.500 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit."

after the usual loading bits.

its not devastating, but the kind of conundrum thats gonna bug me for months.

i figured it out.

but i still am not sure of why it all happened..

the venetian heavy infantry mesh files were named differently to what it was looking for in the formatted modeldb.

is strange tho cause i unpacked several times, and went back to the original reformatted modeldb file and it was all named the same and made the game crash..

weird. but fixed.

so i guess the moral of the story is, misnamed mesh files can cause an unspecified error that doesn't show up on a log file. it might be helpful for other people to be aware of this.

Hiya,

Iv just found the same error and I have gone into the mesh files and found that there is no ug1_lod1 etc only the lod1... Did you just rename that file or have I got a bigger problem?

Cheers

Iv just solved mine now although Im not sure if its quite the same problem you had...

I had the ug1 mesh's in the ln_3qplate_halfplate folder instead of the ln_brigandine_heavy. I ran the game but it still didnt work so I looked at the system log and found that it couldnt find the ug1_lod3, which was because there wasnt one so I looked in the modelsdb file and deleted the aforementioned ug1 line and it works fine!
