Help with some missing files

**LepDog** · January 03, 2008, 10:42 PM

Below is a copy of my latest system log and as you can see i'm missing quite a few files for some reason. Why exactly I don't know. If this is normal someone please let me know.

I've already attempted a re-install of SS5 + 5.1b + New Year Fix Pack but the files just don't appear and it's really quite frustrating.

Anyway, to the point, what I am asking is if someone could upload some of the missing files for me. I know it is a big ask but i'm out of options. I've been through the log and seperated the required files into folder paths -

mods/Stainless_Steel/data/text/
diplomacy_speech.txt.strings.bin
diplomacy_speech.txt
missions.txt.strings.bin
missions.txt
shortcut.txt.strings.bin
shortcut.txt
religions.txt.strings.bin
religions.txt
climates.txt.strings.bin
climates.txt
event_titles.txt.strings.bin
event_titles.txt
event_strings.txt.strings.bin
event_strings.txt
rebel_faction_descr.txt.strings.bin
rebel_faction_descr.txt
export_advice.txt.strings.bin
export_advice.txt
export_prologue.txt.strings.bin
export_prologue.txt
cursor_action_tooltips.txt.strings.bin
cursor_action_tooltips.txt
quotes.txt.strings.bin
quotes.txt

mods/Stainless_Steel/data/loading_screen/
loading_bar.tga.dds

There are other files missing too but they're missing from the M2TW fold so i will attempt a re-install and see if it helps with those.

Thanks in advance

**Warriorset** · January 04, 2008, 08:07 AM

Are those files really missing in the mod directory? perhaps is a file access problem...
Try downloading SS and patches again, your installer may be corrupt

**Quark** · January 04, 2008, 12:22 PM

LepDog

Do not worry about all the missing file lines, this is standard and is not a problem
Do not worry about the traits lines, this is standard with BBB
Do worry about the CTD

Install in stages and test ie does Kingdoms work, Does SS 5.1 work if yes then we know the issue is when you installed the New Year pack.

The loading_bar.tga may be an issue as that should be there, so I have attached that, just unzip to \mods\Stainless_Steel\data\loading_screen.

**~~Echad~~** · January 04, 2008, 01:10 PM

It misses not the loading_bar.tga, but loading_bar.tga.DDS... And any of my packs HAS the file loading_bar.tga inside.

**custa** · January 04, 2008, 07:45 PM

I'm getting the same error but only when I try to go into battle

. It looks like I'm missing both the model_effects and the loading_screen folders. I'm not sure how that happened.

Here is my log:

**custa** · January 04, 2008, 08:17 PM

Ok, apparently it's because I need to unpack all of the expansion unpacker bat files.

**Fenix_120** · January 04, 2008, 08:37 PM

I bet you installed them in the wrong directory.

**custa** · January 05, 2008, 10:48 AM

I'm still getting the same error after unpacking those files. I now see the folders loading_screen and models_effects but apparently am still missing files. What do I need to do to put them in the right directory?

**custa** · January 05, 2008, 01:31 PM

Can someone please help explain how to unpack the files properly or what I'm doing wrong? I'm still missing a lot of the files and crash every time I go to battle in stainless steel mod. thanks.

**Yelü Dashi** · January 05, 2008, 01:49 PM

I'm getting exactly the same log when I try and play a Late Era Campaign. It's incredibly frustrating as I had SS 5.1 running fine up until the other day so I know it does work. I've been told on another thread that SS 5.1 does not require Kingdoms files or any other to be unpacked in order for the game to work.
I'm running Vista which might be the cause of some problems.

This thread: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2415708
it states that replacing the desr_effects_impacts.txt file in SS with the original one might be a solution. Trouble is I don't have an original one ! if some could supply me with one I' be grateful. at present I've completely lost patience and am gonna finish playing Crysis.
