Imperial Campaign Error Message

[Dontom]

So i modded the bejesus out of my 1.2 Med2TW and played SS 5.1 and Broken Cresent extensively.

I wanted to start a vanilla campaign though as portugal though on the back of speaking to a friend about the economic value of the iberian pensinsula with upgraded ports and trade throughout the Mediterranean, but anyways.

I didnt have all factions unlocked on the select screen so i went to my descr_strat or whatever it is called and changed all unlockable factions to playable and saved it.

Then returning to game, when pressing Imperial Campaign i get a "Please select an item from the list" error message.

Im wondering if there is a fix for this without reinstalling the game, and maybe messing up my mod installations.

when is the last time you played vanilla post modifications? Do any of the factions load up properly?

[Dontom]

The problem is, i click campaign game on the initial main menu, then click "Imperial Campaign" and it doesn't load up the faction select screen, i instead get the error message i described above.

The last time it worked post modification was the SECOND before i changed the descr_strat file, as this was when i realised i did not have the Ports unlocked to play as.

Bump

[Korlon]

Well, can you post exactly what you changed in the descr_strat file? Perhaps you did something wrong.

What M2TW patches have you installed?

[irishron]

When you made your changes, did you delete your map.rwm and start a new campaign?

[Dontom]

All i did was move the faction names:

sicily
milan
scotland
byzantium
russia
moors
turks
egypt
denmark
portugal
poland
hungary

From between "Unlockable
End"
to between "Playable
End"

The start of my file now looks like this:

co; Custom campaign script generated by Romans Campaign Map Editor

campaign imperial_campaign
playable
england
france
hre
spain
venice
sicily
milan
scotland
byzantium
russia
moors
turks
egypt
denmark
portugal
poland
hungary

end
unlockable

end
nonplayable
papal_states
aztecs
mongols
timurids
slave
end


start_date 1080 summer
end_date 1530 winter
timescale 2.00

I had my Med2TW patched to 1.2 before i installed any of my Mod's, or changed my descr_strat, and i never deleted my map.rwm

[Korlon]

If you were to revert your descr_start back to what it originally was, does the game work?

Also, in my descr_strat file, there is no space between the last faction's name and the end command. See if you deleting that little line of space works.

So instead of what you have, I would have:

campaign imperial_campaign
playable
england
france
hre
spain
venice
sicily
milan
scotland
byzantium
russia
moors
turks
egypt
denmark
portugal
poland
hungary
end
unlockable
end
nonplayable
papal_states
aztecs
mongols
timurids
slave
end

[Korlon]

Just change it back if you have problems, though most people don't have a problem with it.

Download the 1.3 M2TW patch.
