[fedeita]

excellent mod housekeeper rep+ for you

[Salah al-Din]

Too bad it's Italian only, I'd love to give it a try...

[Nico]

hi all,
Awsome mod man, it has everything scripts, events many factions loads of settlements, cool map, AoR. etc. I just wish i understood italian to read the events and the role play you have introduced to the game. I do have a question though im playing the moors (merenids) and i'm having a ctd on the year 1421, during the timurids turn, it happened too when i played with the other moorish faction. it doesnt say anytihng on the log file, any ideas?

[Nico]

lol i was looking in the wrong log file here is what the actual one says:

Hi Nico,
I had the same problem too, just reload your last save.

Remember that auto-save is disabled, but I suggest to save your campaign at every turn, and not to overwrite previous saves, but make always new saves.

bye!

[jimmy spong]

cool!

no other ctd's?

i had plenty of them in 4.0

ecan we expect english ?

nice mod!

[Nico]

hi housekeeper,
I'm afraid that didnt work, i've reloaded it tons of times. any other ideas?

cheers Nico

[-Traiano-]

Spettacolo!!! finalmente un MOD in italiano oltre a Bellum crucis, download immediately!!!

[Nico]

housekeeper, still no way to fix this bug? I keep getting it, i cant play more than 25 turns before it crashes every time, always the same log file. I've been looking into the traits and the acciliaries files but no idea ho to fix it, it says

00:35:51.656 [game.script] [error] Trigger processing error in <rawghi_b_dongola>
: SettlementName needs a settlement

but they all seem to have the settlements so i dont know, i even tried removing them but it would remove (which i dont really want to do but it still crashes)

plz look into this it is a BIG bug!

cheers
Nick

The log file is ok, these strings are always present
The year of your ctd is 1426?
It crashes when you press "end turn" button, or during the passage of the turn?
And what is the faction turn at which the game stops?

[Nico]

yes this time it was in 1426 but it varies a little (this has been the longest i've been able to play) it crashes during turn passage, always during the timurids turn.
This time i was playing as bizantium.

[The Housekeeper]

ok, I'm going to check timurids' files
thank you Nico

[DrIstvaan]

Wow, looks "estremamente" cool, and I speak Italian, thus I would have no problem with it; but does it run with my non-Italian M2TW? Based on my modding knowledge, I guess so, but anyway.

[palestina]

Hi,i 've the same problem as Nico...it's a pity cause is a wonderful mod...Housekeeper, may you do something? I even downloaded the bugfixer 5.01 but the problem persist

[Nico]

hi palestina, while housekeeper works on bug fixing, a quick fix i did was to simply remove the timurids from the game and add very strong rebels in their cities instead, lol altough its not the ideal option it seems to work, i havent had a ctd since.

PD: remember to always backup what you modify just in case.
