Problem

A friend of mine is experiencing problems while putting in custom battles


the only thing I am having problems with is putting the custom battle maps into the game. I can see them in the custom battles map list but when I click on it, it loads all the way then CTDs. It might be because I didnt make start points for the armies. Does anyone know if you have to do that? (I can change it in an instant if thats the case)

Where did you place the folder for the battle and is it a custom map battle or a historical map battle? Maybe attach the files. Also check your log file.

I put them in data/world/maps/custom/battle i think...

[Thompson45cal.]

Custom battle maps for MTW2 go in the C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\Custom folder,
thats to play them as a custom battle. Scenarios (Historicals) go in different folder.

You don't have to have a unit placement, but your do need a descr_battle.txt file in the folder with the map,
that shows basically the following info. (mainly need a map grid).
