help! no affect after changing the txt files

[the crunkness]

I tried to change the edb txt file so that I will be able to train conquistadores and dismounted conquistadores in the old world but when I removed the "hidden" source from the file it didn't actually do anything. I still can't train the conquistadores in the old world, can someone help me with this?

Add this entry to your medieval2.preferences.cfg file:

[io]
file_first = true

thanks for the help. I added the lines to the end of the document and then tried again and still no conquistadores any more ideas?



Edit: I just checked it again with preference file it seems like the line didn't save. No matter what I do it doesn't seem like it wants to save! whats the deal?

[Gigantus]

1. Are you playing Portugal or Spain?
2. Have you removed the hidden_resource entry from all instances?

[the crunkness]

I am playing Spain but it seems like the changes I made to the cfg file isn't saving for some reason. And I think I have removed it what else is there other than the EDB file?

[Gigantus]

You have to make the cfg file read-only: the game rewrites it every time.

Ok, I tried that but it still didn't work :/ here's what I did:

1. I opened it as a notepad and added the lines in at the end
2. i switched the cfg to read only so it doesn't get over written
3. I changed the EDB file by deleting the Hidden_resource from just end of the lines of the Huge stone walls
4. I ran the game but it still doesn't do anything! it's really frustrating

You have to start a new game for changes made in the EDB to take effect.

[the crunkness]

you got to be kidding me

[Mythic_Commodore]

Nope. Sorry.

[the crunkness]

ok now I have it working for the new game but for some reason every time I enter into a battle I get an "unspecified" error and the game crashes!

[Mythic_Commodore]

Delete, in your data folder, descr_geography_new.txt and descr_geography_new.db.

[the crunkness]

ok it worked now thanks

Glad to help.
