Geomod Tool for Mapping

[Gigantus]

One is glad to be of service

[Faridus]

is there any chance at all this would be adapted to work with RTW, specifically with RS?

[Tomcat69]

I have encountered a problem with GEOMOD.
Everytime I try to add a new region, the game scratch.

The log file indicates :

00:43:27.765 [script.err] [error] Script Error in data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.txt, at line 1014, column 1
Couldn't find region name 'New_Province' in stringtable
00:43:37.859 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

Is anyone could help me ?

[Göteborgare]

Did you place the imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt.strings.bin
in the correct folder?

[Tomcat69]

It is placed in the data/text folder. Is this correct ?

[Göteborgare]

yes.

Does it contain an entry called New_Province?

[Tomcat69]

yes

[Göteborgare]

And the province and settlement in descr_regions and descr_strat is spelled the same?

[Tomcat69]

Again, yes. I've been searching the problem for a week, and I can't find the correct answer. I have double checked evry item, and the program still scratchs. However, I can modify a region, a settlement or add an army or a character. Do I have the correct version of GEOMOD (0.2.2.0) ?

[Göteborgare]

The error says something is wrong with that file.
Maybe the file has different formatting, try downloading a string bin converter, there are a few in the Tutorial List, scroll down to find modding tools.

[Tomcat69]

Thanks Göteborgare for the help. Enjoys with M2TW.

[Göteborgare]

You are welcome.
And good luck on your modding.
Dont hesitate to call for help.

[The Guy With No Imagination]

yes it says it cant find the files.

[Göteborgare]

Which files?

[The Guy With No Imagination]

never mind igot it to work in french but english says that the media file cant be foun '_'


"I came across a bug:" (gigantus)
GeoMod would freeze at 18% loading.

Reason: some of the M2TW files were read-only
Solution: remove read-only attribute

Might need a subroutine to check that


how do i change the read only files so that i can avoid the bug

[Göteborgare]

Replace the French .exe with the English .exe.
That is all that is needed.


Rightclick on the folder, Click preferences, then unmark the Read only button if it is marked.

[The Guy With No Imagination]

also if you are going to creat an entire map from scrath in this tool what do u do to get rid of the old map

[Göteborgare]

Old map?

Just create a new folder for the new mod and add the files needed

[elgingo]

I tried merging 2 regions together on the grand campaign, by removing a region, then filling the empty region with the same colour as an adjacent region. I save and exit. But when I try to start the campaign I get brought back to the single player menu after selecting a faction.

Someone help please.

[Göteborgare]

What does the error log say?

Did you remove the deleted region from descr_regions and descr_strat?
Did you remove the map.rwm?
