    Trust me it works just fine on EB, I use EB as one of the main mods for testing the program because the files are so big and varied. You are obviously doing something wrong.

    ah ah...sure I'm doing something wrong. I'm just making some changes to those files (ancillaries, VnVs..), may be a reason for not working?

    Possibly, depending on what you've changed incorrectly. If you go back over the last page or so there are two errors that have been identified in the 2.1.3 release as causing crashes. If you've made either of these mistakes when making changes to the files then yes you will get a crash.

    Ok, I tried the tool on EB vanilla, and it works. Now I just have to replace one by one the files modified by me to find the one that contains the bug.
    Well, thanks for helping me

    Was the second the same issue I reported some time ago? That the condition SettlementName requires the on-screen name of settlements from barbarian_invasion_regions_and settlement_names.txt in the text folder instead of the internal name in descr_regions.txt? That's a condition I use a lot and clikcing through the "bug" reports can become tiresome
    Still, I don't want to sound like an ingrate. The tool is awesome

    Added:

    • Ability to validate advice files, export_descr_advice.txt and text/export_advice.txt are now required

    • Fixed crash for empty character, antitrait, excludecultures and excludedancillaries lines (i.e. with nothing after the key word)

    Whatever trait gave you that message has RhetoricSkill listed as an antitrait, but RhetoricSkill does not have that trait listed as an antitrait.

    Yes, add the trait that gave you that message to the list of antitraits for RhetoricSkill or remove RhetoricSkill from the list of antitraits of the trait that gave you the message. Both traits should list each other as antitraits or neither should list the other as an antitrait.

    Hi Squid,
    I'm adding some ancillaries and have come across a problem. I have used your program (the ATVTW) and followed your instructions on how to make new and custom ancillaries.
    My problem is that of my 15 new ancillaries only 6-7 work properly. I don't get any error and no CTD or anything of the kind...it just does not show up.
    I scanned the files with your program and looked into it manually but can't seem to find why some are showing up and others aren't. Maybe there is a limit to the amount of anc's and I have exceeded that?
    Anyway I was hoping you might have an idea what is preventing my other anc's to show up.

    Are you trying to give them all to the same character? A character can have up to 8.

    Yes I know that a character can have only 8 ancillaries. I've tried with all my generals and family members but they don't get the ancillary.
    My conditions were faction (gauls), ended in settlement, 100% movement points remaining and then a city name. I've checked it time and again but found no error.
    All of the conditions are met, my characters have not yet reached their 8th ancillary and the AquireAncillary thingy is 100% chance so they should get it...
    I'm at my wit's end here

    EDIT: would it help if I posted my entries in the files?

    Sure, posting the code would help.

    Are you working on vanilla RTW? Nomad is not a valid culture there.

    No, I'm using the Roma Surrectum 2.1 mod. The 7 good ancillaries have the nomad entry as well but they seem to be working fine *sigh* those damn arbitrary anc's!
    Maybe I should restart from scratch and see if I come up with something.
