P.I. Beta Bug thread

By Leonidas480bc:
Missing large unit cards for Brettii units. Hoplitai Tarrantina large and small unit card tunic color is blue for actual unit its white.

...mmm ...strange ...the Brettian unit cards seem in place, both in the Brettian and Italiote UI folders; which faction was playing Leonidas480bc?

The Tarantine tunic color is light blue; it may look darker or lighter because the map-lighting.

I was playing the ITALIOTAE in campaign mode

Very strange ...I can confirm the Brettian units UI cards are in place both for the Italiote and for the Brettian factions. Probably those Brettian units with missing UI cards are in another foe army?

When I conquer a settlement, no matter with which faction, I cannot train any military units in my new city... why is that? can I fix it?

Great job with the mod!

A quick question; I was playing as the Ligurians. After capturing a settlement, i was immediately able to recruit their troops. They were also able to recruit my Ligurian spearmen etc for their army. I THINK i downloaded the latest version (0.86).
Is this as it is supposed to be? Might i have downloaded a torrent for an earlier version?

Yes that is designed that way. Which settlement are you talking about exactly?

Etruscan Chariots say they have a missle attack, but they don't.

[florin80]

Not exactly a bug, more of a question. The spartiates hoplites have some hair locks in the texture(left to the crest), but none show in game. In fact the neck is pretty bare. Were the hair locks discarded intentionally?

Already fixed together with the other chariot units.

As I told before, that issue had been already fixed.

Thanks a lot.

There's a dedicated thread on set-up problems:

Probably you'll find there the answer you're looking for ...it seems an issue related to the shortcut target line.

[Turkeys!]

I have found a couple of bugs

When the Funditores Italici fire they sound like the archers instead of slingers

There is also two Lucius Papricus Crassus at the start of the game.

The Roman Captain doesn't have a sword. I also noticed the Samnite Captain doesn't either.

Oh and I also have a suggestion ,

I think that battles should be made to be a bit longer cause at the moment there over very quickly though that may just be because I killed the enemy captain early in the battle.

Both slingers and archer have "none" as sound type when the wapon hits, as in RTW original game; there aren't dedicated sounds for such weapons in RTW. However I checked the EDU fikle and the slingers are using "stone" projectiles and archers "arrow" projectiles ...probably arrows and stones have similar sounds in RTW.

There is also two Lucius Papricus Crassus at the start of the game.

They are actually two different Lucius Papirius: "Lucius Papirius Crassus" (the "dictator" of that period) and "Lucius Papirius Cursor" (the "magister equitum" , chosen by the dictator as second in command)

The Roman Captain doesn't have a sword. I also noticed the Samnite Captain doesn't either.

As fas as I know it is a RTW original bug; I can assure that our general/captain models have their weapon in place. If somebody know how to fix that issue...

If you want the slingers to not sound like archers you need to add them to this section:

;;;;;;;;;;;   SLINGER   ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

in descr_sounds_units_fire
And I think deleting or renaming the file events from data\sounds might also be needed.

You mean when they are attached to a missiles throwing unit and the sword disappears right after the unit has used all the missiles? The only known solution afaik is to give the general two weapons too. And use the same looking sword for both. That way when it wants to switch it in game it will appear with the same sword and not an empty fist. But I`ve seen this trick not working in some occasions so it`s not a sure thing.

[Corelias]

Minor text bug.
Shouldn't it be 'Temple' and not 'temple ' in the name of the various temples (export_buildings.txt)?

Thanks a lot again, florin. I'll try to fix those issues following your suggestions.

Both issues fixed following florin80's suggestions.

Thanks a lot guys.

I/d installin klМcodec414f , and has afterwards noticed that menu holds up less. Possible this because of old codecs, but two rollers-films are not started.
1) here PI_RTW_BI_v071.zip\PI RTW_BI v071\BI\data\fmv\ 2) here too PI_RTW_BI_v071.zip\PI RTW_BI v071\PI\data\fmv\
Impossible reproduce. When I their while has deleted from installed plays, and has changed the last set an codecs, play ceased to hold up in menu.
There is else trouble, plenty of (sorry my bad english) the sprite. It is Necessary their do it. Has Noticed that playing for african Poeni, their there no beside half of the troopses.
