[Hesus de bodemloze]

maybe i did some thing wrong with in the cin editer. :hmmm::hmmm:

edit : tryed it again made a new cam file with cin editor (wish works fine without any problem) entered the name of the file in the render cfg file and tryed to load it the load bar loads till the end but then it just gets stuck the hour-glass keeps on spinning and afther some time it just ctd.

i got some progress the render part starts the replay for just a second and then ctd' s

[Hesus de bodemloze]

try changing the line

dir = C:\video_capture\

to

dir= C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\video_capture\

is it for a mod ore just the original m2tw game?

1) Yeah, do you use a mod or Kingdoms campaign?
2) Are you sure that your game is installed at
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\?
If not, change the path in the *.cfg

@ this

dir = C:\Programme\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\teutonic\video_capture\

dir=C:\video_capture\

I have testet this 2 versions but i have no result for my Problem

The line
dir=C:\video_capture\
is not the reason.

Apart from that your problem is a big mystery... From what I can see you have done everything correctly. Even a wrong replay name cannot be the problem. You wouldn't get that error message if just the replay was missing/misspelled.
The only thing I can think of is to add this part into your *.cfg-file as it's missing (though I don't think it's the problem):

[audio]

speech_enable = 1

[BenShady]

;( Sorry for my english ^^

Thanks for the answer but the Problem stay

I have change the part
file = C:\Programme\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\teutonic\replays\Start.rpy

to

file = replays\Start.rpy

but yet the bat data dont startet ;(

I have no ideas

@ I have testet this on M2 and the Problem is the same as Teutonic Kindoms

On the loading screen i am kicked back to windows

evtl. post a member a cfg and i copy this for me ?


help please
thanks

[wrren400]

ok first of all i use knigdoms campaing and yes i did install medieval into
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War

[Hesus de bodemloze]

well thats the problem there is no folder called capture_tga, so i made on in this directory

F:\Program Files\Stainless_Steel6.1\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\capture_tga

but still it is not working. it all so takes a verry long time to load. i mean i is loading like 4 minuts and then only for a split second it shows the replay and a bit of music afther this it ctd' s.

[D|major]

well thats the problem there is no folder called capture_tga, so i made on in this directory

F:\Program Files\Stainless_Steel6.1\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\capture_tga

Don't have much time now, so just a quick note:

The folder wont be here:
F:\Program Files\Stainless_Steel6.1\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\capture_tga
but here:
F:\Program Files\Stainless_Steel6.1\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\capture_tga

The reason why it's loading that long is because the game has to fast-forward to the point you want to render. So, if your cam is placed for instance at minute 15, it'll take very long time to load. A cam that's at minute 2 will need to load much less.
If you want to use the Cine_ed for screenshots you probably have short cameras only?! And if you additionally have a fast PC it's no wonder that it renders so quick. The loading part will take much more time than the actual render part. I guess your shots are already rendered and you will find then in the folder I have written above...

About the problems of wrren and benshady I'll have to write later, when I got more time...

[wrren400]

i think it may be the type of winrar i use

[Hesus de bodemloze]

hmhm the problem is, there isn' t a folder called capture_tga in here :

F:\Program Files\Stainless_Steel6.1\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\

i will make one my self and check if it works.

edit : well i made the folder in this directory

F:\Program Files\Stainless_Steel6.1\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\

but it didn' t work so some thing else is causing this.

[wrren400]

another thing is wrong. My game isn't going as fast as it should be. The units don't walk they seem to jump. When They Move their hands disapear and then reappear when they move

[D|major]

Hesus, are you sure that the game you are using is installed there:
F:\Program Files\Stainless_Steel6.1\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\
I'm pretty sure that the files are already rendered, just don't know where the game saved the avi-files.

wrren, what game do you mean that's jumpy? M2TW ingame, Cinematic Editor or Cine-ed rendering? Also, what do you think is wrong with your WinRar version?

[Hesus de bodemloze]

yes the game of installed on the f drive.

Stainless_steel is installed here :

F:\Program Files\Stainless_Steel6.1\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6

the cinematic editer files are installed here :

F:\Program Files\Stainless_Steel6.1\SEGA\Medieval II Total War

this is all the same folder for my stainless steel game.

[wrren400]

what i mean by jumoy is that when i play a battle it is really laggy and whn i say laggy i mean they barely even move they just dissapear and then reapper as they move

[wrren400]

first of all is win rar free cuz i got it for free and i think that we need to pay for it in order for it to work

[Hesus de bodemloze]

what i mean by jumoy is that when i play a battle it is really laggy and whn i say laggy i mean they barely even move they just dissapear and then reapper as they move

what are your settings in the game options? did you put your graphics on the highest detail there is?

first of all is win rar free cuz i got it for free and i think that we need to pay for it in order for it to work

win rar is a free program, you don' t need to pay for it.

[wrren400]

i think if you take another look at the message that pops up when i try to open it up(posted on another reply
i think you should see something wrong

[Hesus de bodemloze]

i have lookt for the avi-file every where but couldn' t finde it.

[D|major]

I will think about the problems again and write to you later, but as you can read in my signature I'm not at home right now and don't have much time online so you gotta wait (till the weekend or so).

[Hesus de bodemloze]

oke man will wait till further instructions.

Edit : oke got it fixt thx for all the help.
