    If you have made a simple entry in the descr_strat file and that what didn't work then I would suggest to go back to your back up and start again. You do have a back up, I hope?

    Another thing that helps is to set your log to trace - you will get more details what is happening and it increases the chance to find an error. Simply add this into the CFG file of your mod (or edit it in if the section already exists):

    [log]
    to = logs/M2TW.system.log.txt
    level = * trace

    This will now create a (huge) log file in the logs subfolder. Always compress that log before attaching it, please!!

    I have some problems with adding MrCrow's warwagons to my mod. I think it fits to this category:

    Unit crash
    Q: Game crashes when you try to get the information about a unit or when you go to battle with a particular unit.

    A: The data\export_descr_unit.txt info for that unit contains an error. Make sure the tabs and spaces are in the right place, information is not missing or duplicated, and that the 'soldier' line refers to a an actual unit (try not to change this).

    Game crashes after i move the cursor over this unit in custom battle unit selection screen. And i can't find the source of problem. Entry in edu:

    Sorry for being late - there is a 'error reporting' sticky for RotK in bug forum. But the principle remains the same for most mods:

    Quote Originally Posted by Gigantus View Post

    2. Finding the log = it will be in the ...\Medieval II Total War\logs folder
    3. Setting the log to trace = open Configuration.cfg (in the Three Kingdoms main folder) with Notepad. In the [log] section, remove the hash ( # ) in front of the trace line and add a hash in front of the error line, save. The log will become rather big, but compressing will reduce it to approximately 5-10% of it's original size
    4. Submitting the log = compress the log with a utility like 7Zip and then attach it or upload to a service provider and copy the link in your post

    Code:
    [log] 
    to = logs/M2TW.system.log.txt 
    level = * trace
    #level = * error
