BC: Baltic crusades 1.2 download thread

[Teutonic]

Downloaded it. Great stuff. Haven't tried the sieges yet, hopefully I won't have the problem mentioned above. Congratulations to the team!

Realy got to love those new skins... though I noticed that the name of Kaunas is still "Kaunus"(or was it like that back then?) and the UI is missing a few buttons(like the">" to unpause the game or those parts tha allow you to make battles slower of faster)

I'm attaching the EDU with the fixed error mentioned above... hope it helps.

sorry....there was a mistake...

[Werner von Urslingen]

The posted fix isn't working for me, the game still CTDs at sieges. :-(

[Nevada]

really amazing work and especially look!

I'm downloading now!

[BMV]

Werner von Urslingen can you post your error log?

[Werner von Urslingen]

Werner von Urslingen can you post your error log?

Sure, if it helps!

Hey...sorry about that file but it seems that twcenter...keeps uploading the wrong file(tryed three times now...no luck, every time it uploads some kind of other EDU...without any lithuanian or other teutonic campaign nations units...) so...sorry again, hope you made a back up if not then i'll be uploading the fix in a .rar

Edit: here you go...just checked and the right file is uploaded though I played a few sieges my self and at first one I didn't had any CTDs but on the second one it crashed...and even deleted the whole "logs" folder...lol... So there may be other problems...

Well i find it really difficult to get anywhere as the Teutons since Norway, Poland, and Lithuania all declared war on me by turn 9 so im boned
Does anyone know how to remove that garrison script? it find it frustrating when Lithuania already has alot of large stacks running around and get free full stacks whenever i siege a city.

I also find it really odd that Mongolia and Novgorod are more friendly to me than other catholic factions. Poland, Denmark, and Norway all hate me and HRE is never any help. Seriously i have spent more time crusading against other catholics than the pagans which is really ironic lol

As Novgorod i pushed Teutonic armies out of Lithuania regions (alliance, military acces) only to see them declaring truce Danes seeing i am engaged in war with Teutons, attacked my capital, Monogols were in alliance with them so they declared war on me too soon after that. I foreseen all this and crushed most of their attacking forces. Just few turns after that Lithuania is deep inside my realm with two huge stacks, i bet they will strike me even with good relations we have. This is not about who u play, this campaign AI is a bit "i will crush u no matter what"

[MADTAO]

Wow ,never have such problems.Posibly garnison script must be edited, i find wery enjoyable such hard gaming,otheyrway i win for sure
Garnison script alert you to take city after city without consequences.

But if you realy want you can go to
C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\dlv_teutonic_knights\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign folder
and edit this file campaign_script .You soon notice that it is easy ,just delete lines of units ... posybly mus start ne campaign to take effect.

posibly its also create those CTD in sieges like described here...
A: If too many units fight in a small area M2TW is unable to handle this and crashes (this often happens in castle sieges). Reducing the unit size can prevent this.


Also any ideas or proposals is accepted.LUCK!

[Teutonic Joe]

My view of difficulty though isnt the same as yours then since i dont believe that giving the AI free bees is a good way of spiking difficulty. I am more of a fan of difficulty being the result of excellant AI (like F.E.A.R for example was really difficult since its AI was really good compared to what was out then). Also i would like to point out that the AI doesnt need that much help when they all seem to be driven to gang up on me at a moments notice

I just think the script needs editing. Its realistic but i expect levies and other weakling units not Ducals and Tartar lancers. The garrison should resemble a hurried conscription of the populace. The key is it should resemble the rushed factor. Having the miracle elites spawning in suddenly makes no sense since it would take awhile to train elite soldiers and when your under siege i doubt you have time for constant drilling.

To throw out some suggestions that i was thinking about for a more immersive atmosphere, maybe the first dozen or so turns could be treated as if a crusade was declared. Not how vanilla M2TW has it with the free stacks of crusader armies but maybe having crusader units up for merc hire.

I'm also playing Lithuania and I always get a CTD when besieging a settlement with lithuanian units in it.

[MADTAO]

Looks like it it specific Lithuanian unit bug ,wich trigers in sieges CTD

Battle crash, specific unit
Q: The mod crashes while loading for battle when a specific unit will be fighting in that battle.
(as long i test problem ,once i notice siege CTD only with Baltic spearman unit )

A: Most likely the path to the unit's mesh, texture, or sprite is incorrect in the 'data\unit_models\battle_models.modeldb' file.
To fix this problem find the unit's entry in the battle_models.modeldb and check the location and name of the texture and mesh are correct (this problem may only affect one faction's unit).

[Nevada]

as long i test problem ,once i notice siege CTD only with Baltic spearman unit

I was searching this unit in modeldb and EDU, but it never found anything.

[MADTAO]

Just have siege about my 1000 and enemy 2500 units ,without baltic spearman wich previously go CTD.
Yea i check out modeldb but for surprise all looks well and in place,strange :hmmm:
Anyway cearfuly sieges still can be fighted .Just need that bug researched!

[Roboute Guilliman]

didnt the fix help?. I havent had a ctd ever since. It cant be the baltic spearmen, as I had bfore a crash against the danes during a siege.

[MADTAO]

Did you start new campaign after fix ? of continue previous and it works ?
