Mod Problem (Specific File)

**manouelkomnenos** · April 27, 2008, 10:02 PM

Hey, I've been having a problem recently with introducing a new file to my personal mod for Medieval II.

I am trying to put the export_descr_units file from the Retrofit mod so I can get all of the unit balances (By the way do I need permission for this? It's only being used privately). This is the only feature I want, so it would be inconvenient to install the whole mod. However, when I put the file into the folder in the appropriate place and start up the mod it crashes near instantly and takes me back to wherever I just was. The method I'm using for the mod is not -io.file_first, I'm using the one that has the batch file to start the game.

The only hunch I have is that the new Kingdoms feature recruit_priority_offset is interfering with my mod, but I have no evidence.

I hope I explained everything clearly, and I appreciate all future help.

Im not entirely sure about this but i suspect that you would need to install the whole mod as past experience has told me that replacing one file only from a mod causes problems. Try using the -show_err command it may help you trace the problem..

Ah, I just recently used trace, and it said it came across unfamiliar text on line 170. In my export_descr_unit file, this line is the first instance of recruitment_priority_offset, so I think that feature is the problem. I've already tried deleting all instances of that feature, but it didn't work. Is there anything else I can do about this? Is there any other method to obtain the unit balances perhaps?

not so sure it could as i said be that the file is looking for the whole mod, it is a real pain getting single files to work, as mods would use different names to the original in some instances...what is this unfamilier word it encounterd??
