P.I. Beta Bug thread

You have not edited the shortcut I presume. There are a bunch on guides around that describe what you need to place at the end of the shortcut`s target. And you need to start the game with that edited shortcut, otherwise you will start the vanilla bi.

Hi all,

Any chance of expanding the map to make Sicily below the Italian Peninsula near the toe of and its' famous city of Rheggio De Calabria?

It just looks weird!

Thanks,

Can someone answer my question?

I think I know what might've been the cause of your problem. When you create the shortcut and modify it by appending the various PItalica switches (-nm, -mod, etc), it's important that you add them in the Target section of the shortcut instead of the Path.

I'm having a consistent failure with the Man of the Hour event, he's almost always dead by the time my adoption offer reaches him, even when the captain doesn't die in the battle. Out of half a dozen tries, only one of them was successfully adopted. All of these were in defensive battles, where the AI attacked me and so it took place during the AI turn.

[SigniferOne]

I wonder why Man of the Hour would always be dead before you could choose him. This is a hardcore game issue, and not something we could affect in the mod, is it?

[Rorarii]

I just crashed as Poeni ... second battle in one turn, crashes just as you're heading into the battle.

It`s probably connected to missing sprites. Try saving after the first battle because there are good chances that the second would crash.

Dunno. Previously I haven't gotten many man of the hour events in vanilla or other mods. Here I can get them pretty reliably in the first turn of a Roman campaign by attacking Caudium with the hoplites and horse from Capua. Samnites always counterattack the sieging army during the AI turn, I camp my shield wall on the top of a hill and flank with cav FTW. Outnumbered, low losses, wipe out the enemy, and capture a town to boot almost always gives a MotH. (I mention this so others have a repeatable way of testing MotH in PI)

Key point is that he's not always dead. I've never lost my captain on the battlefield, but there was only one case where the adoption worked. Last night I had my first MotH during MY turn, and it worked fine. It may be a vanilla / code interaction of fighting during the AI turn, capturing a town (thus moving the victorious army) and creating the new family member in the old battlefield mapsquare where there no longer is an army. Don't know why it worked the once, though.:hmmm:

Hi P.I. team,

Excellent Patch to .72!

A few concerns:

1. Can you make the map more aesthetically pleasing by placing syracuse near and below Rheggio De Calabria?

2. The custom battle save and campaign autosave bugs haven't gone away:
-I played my first custom battle when I first played this mod, it saved in the system and I can't still delete it.
-I went to start a new campaign and found the "Continue Campaign" option to be lit up and the game autosaved but I'm still not able to delete the autosave.

3. More text is necessary instead of placeholders and to describe the units as well.

4. I noticed you nixed the BI custom battle maps. Is there any way you can re-port them back in under a different name? Or Is this aspect of P.I. still "in the works?"

Ladies and Gentlemen (IF there any Ladies out there in the P.I. team)
Thank you!

Guys when you crash, please post a number of details that would actually be fruitful to us in helping to resolve it. If crashing during battle please post everything you might find relevant -- the approximate list of units involved, the location of the battle, etc.

Hello all together,

I just tried two factions yet: The first was Syracuse, the second was Italiotae. I already mentioned in this thread to have problems with the game flow while playing Syracuse but now I also encountered a problem with the Italiotae.

When I lay siege on the first city which is located in the south east of my border (faction with green flag, ally) I almost always get a CTD when a hostile army attacks me in order to reflief that city. As soon as I want to confront the enmy on the battle field I find myself looking at my desktop... which also looks like a battlefield but I´m responsible for that... lol

Any findings on that?

Cheers...

- The sprites for Hoplites Etrusci (SPQR) are blank, i.e. they turn invisible when you move away from them.

Sagittarii Ligures (Rebel), Ferentarii Ligures (Rebel), and Spartherii Ligures (Rebel) have the same problem, too. Lancearii Ligures (Rebel) work fine, though.

The most likely reason is that wrong Video settings were used to generate these sprites. And there are many more... Just generate new sprites for everything...

- Ligurian infantry units don't get their weapon upgrades even with Apunia/Blacksmith built, probably because they're not marked as light/heavy infantry. I think they're all considered missle units, since they all get weapon upgrades from the archery range.

- Captain portraits are missing.

- Ligurian Public Baths don't have any bonuses, and there seems to be no point in building anything higher than the basic Barracks for them.

- Population growth needs to be cut by 2% everywhere.

- Equites Primores Cenomani have the small unit card in the unit info screen.

- I see no trade between settlements. There are none drawn in map_trade_routes.tga

Good stuff guys, keep it up.

[genko]

realy want to play this mod but everytime i try to run it it crashes before it reaches the menu i installed it in a clean copy of rome gold edition all the other mods work fine anyone know whats wrong :hmmm:

[florin80]

In Rome - Total War/PI there is a folder called preferences. Remove or delete that and try again. Maybe some of the included settings don`t agree with your system.

[Rorarii]

games hasn't crashed for me so far with patch although Italaioae economy is a mess ... negative numbers from turn 1

[genko]

[florin80]

I know the animation makes the arm look weird when throwing the javelin, but in this case it seems a bit more severe to me:

Maybe there`s also something happening there with the model?
