no buildings in York

[Javolenus]

Hi There,

I need some help. I just started modding and so far things have gone pretty well, thanks to great input form the community. But now I've hit a problem.

After a busy session trying to mod trade, population and buildings at the start of the campaign, I decided to test out the game as England. I soon noticed a snag:

When I captured York, although I could add a few buildings to the construct queue, by the year AD 1095 no building upgrades were available. The only option in the building browser was 'convert to castle'. Basically, York's development is stuck and there's nothing I can do. I played about 100 years game time and York simply refused to upgrade.

Obviously I've messed something up, but what? Is there some way to solve or work around this?

I've made a lot of changes to descr_strat, so I don't really want to replace it with the vanilla version if I can help it. Although, maybe I could just paste in the section relating to York or, if needbe, the whole settlements section? Will this help or does the problem lie elsewhere?

Any advice appreciated and thanks in advance for replies.

A few things to check

1) desrc_strat the settlement york make sure all parentheses are present check the population this is key to settlement expansion.
2) do you delete the map.rwp?
3) to to see if the city will upgrade you could test this by using the add_population cheat for testing.

I.E add_population York 5000

Hi J@mes,

Thanks for this speedy response. I'll sure do what you suggest and let you know what happens. Many thanks indeed!

P.S. I actually live in York and believe me, it's full of buildings!

Did you enable the error log? If so, have a look at it. It could be you just don't have enough population for the next city level and on the current level, no updates are left.

OK, I've checked the York entry in descr_strat and I can't see any missing parentheses. And so I deleted map.rwm (think I did it before, but just in case) and started a new campaign as England. I captured York and built all the buildings in the browser. Again, after these buildings had been constructed, no upgrades were available. I kept adding population to York until I got bored, but nothing changed - no upgrades at all. Any ideas? I'm new to modding, so am feeling out of my depth.

[J@mes]

do you have your error log on?

[Javolenus]

Hi There,

OK, here's the error log. not sure if anything has shown up?

[J@mes]

go to your .CFG file

and include this, if you have not done so already delete map.rwp restart campaign then resend log.

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


EDIT :

my York in the dersc_strat looks like this

settlement
{
level village
region York_Province

year_founded 0
population 800
plan_set default_set
faction_creator england
}

Hi J@mes,

Here's the new error log, which seems to be full of stuff. Thanks for your help!

[J@mes]

you need to change the city level i.e if you have included buildings you need to change the level accordingly to those building try removing york from you strat and replacing it with

settlement
{
level village
region York_Province

year_founded 0
population 800
plan_set default_set
faction_creator england
}
