    Does your movement range (green area) around the settlement have those brown spots like an enemy's ZoR? Or does it simply not cover the settlement?
    In the first case it will be a garrison that doesn't belong to your faction. The second case would be underlying impassable ground.

    No, it's like an allied city but where I can construct and recruit. And the units in the settlement can exit without any problem. I'll change its place to see if it helps.

    Edit: It seems like I've put the settlement in the forest which I thought was just next to it. So now I've solved the problem.

    Im a noob at modding, just started. But i can't convert the imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt. to a txt file instead of .bin. I know it has to do something with the converter only working with Python v2.6, but i don't know much about Python and would rather not mess with it and delete, install and delete and reinstall the current Python version. Would it be possible for someone who has the converted .txt file to upload it somewhere?

    Sorry if this dosn't have much to do with the tutorial. But i don't really know where else to ask, since this seems kind of appropriate.

    Hmm, seems like i'v run into a small problem. Would appreciate if you're willing to help me out with this too

    My Medieval 2 crashed, this is the error at the end of System.Log.txt

    [system.io] [warning] open: data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/map.rwm is missing
    [script.err] [error] Script Error in data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.txt, at line 1014, column 1
    Couldn't find region name 'Plymouth_Province' in stringtable



    Im trying to make a test province, which im calling Plymouth_Province. It's located in south west England, im not good at English geography so it's probably not the correct region name xD

    So this is what i wrote in data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.txt, at line 1014

    Plymouth_Province
    Plymouth
    england
    English_Rebels

    Are you trying to add a region or edit an existing one?

    String Table == String.Bin file

    The error message says that the entry has been read from from descr_regions but that it's description has not been found in the STRING.BIN file:

    If you have added the name of the province and settlement to the imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.TXT file (as per step 9 of this tutorial - don't worry about the read-only issue) then chances are the new STRING.BIN file of the same name has not been generated.
    Delete the STRING.BIN file and start your game again.

    You're right, it dosn't want to generate the imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt.string.bin file. That seems to be the problem, i have no idea why it dosn't want to generate it though?

    In most of the cases it's because the file has been saved in the wrong format (should be Unicode) and\or is missing the fancy symbol in the first line. It's an easy fix:

    Open the imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt file with Notepad
    Open another txt file in the data\text folder with Notepad
    Copy the symbol in the first line from the other file into the first line of the imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names file
    "Save As" the imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt file and make sure the encoding option (bottom right) is set to Unicode

    It already has the symbol if this is the one you mean ¬
    And it's saved as unicode, just tried saving it as unicode again and playing the game. I get a crash and the same error about stringtable. It didn't generate the string.bin file either

    If it has the symbol then I would suggest to use this tool. To generate a correct set of files proceed as follows:

    First make sure that the entries in curly brackets (check if you used the correct brackets) is exactly the same as the entries in descr_regions, eg {new_town}New Town. Open the tool and do these two steps with your imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names file:
    1. 'Import' the txt version and then 'export' it - this generates a proper txt file
    2. Then 'Save' it - this generates a proper string.bin file

    That did the thing, now i have the string.bin file. Tried starting a campaign, but got a crash. This time there is no error about stringtable, only that Medieval 2 has encountered an unspecified error and will now exit. Maybe my batch file or the IO file first thing isn't correct?

    Also, i get alot of data missing errors like this.

    'missing' entries can be ignored, it is due to the game first reading from your mod and then from the main game\packs were it finds those files. The important ones are the [error] entries.

    I would suggest to delete the map.rwm file in the base folder - that way a new map gets generated. If that doesn't work then check all the entries you have done for your new region. Is the color (RGB value) of the region correct and consistent as well as the port and settlement pixel? Do the religion entries add up to 100? Are the descr_strat entries correct?

    I deleted the map.rwm in base and double checked all the files i changed. Now it dosn't crash, i can start a campaign. However, it just puts me back to the main menu screen. It's better than a crash though Also, now i can play custom battles just fine, before it would crash aswell. It has generated a new map.rwm file too. Still can't really star a campaign though
