random CTD's

[avesta]

I've been playing the IJ mod (standalone) - don't have IBFD.

I installed it over a fresh 1.6 BI install and I even have the 2.01a patch for IJ. Often I get random ctd's where it shows the "Send" and "don't send" box immediately after it crashes.

It happens often when loading the battlemap during a campaign, or when exiting out of the battlemap during the campaign. I am running the 361 script.
It's still playable but quite frustrating especially when it happens immediately after a battle.

This is probably the quotes files which can cause loading ctd's. Please delete them. There is a quotes.txt file in the IJ/data/text folder and there is a descr_quotes_lookup.txt and descr_transition_screen.txt in the IJ/data folder that also need to be deleted. That should fix the problem.

thanks, it appears this has solved it.

is this the same thing that should be done to ibfd-rr 7.03?I get the same random CTD's playing with the western empire,i use the full scripts btw!it's a really good campaign and I want to continue but in addition to the random ctd's on my latest save game when I end the turn it crashes just after the romano british faction symbol...is it because of the script that those not allow the eastern empire to attack me?they allways siege salona but they never continue,I think the script does not allow them to...I tried ending the turn 4-5 times but nothing....crash just after the romano british icon or the persarmenian one...what should I do?!

You're right. Those CTD's and forced diplomacy with the ERE occur because of the full script. It is buggy. Switch another script on. I always recommend the 4 tpy script.

[Gromovnik]

I've tried no scripts, and even 4tpy, and I still get CTD on every 2nd AI turn. BTW. this doesn't happen in the first 5-6 turns.

:hmmm:Could you tell us under what circumstances this is happening?

[inzaghi4ever]

in my campaign I am in the year 431 AD.I'm gonna try using just the 4 tpy script.hope it works

Keep us posted.
Inzaghi, eh? I like Del Piero better

[inzaghi4ever]

hmm it works with just the 4 tpy script...but i would like to continue with the full scripts,because now the eastern empire is going to destroy me i think,they have about 6-7 full stacks just near salona,who knows how many they can bring to take my cities from the east and north border,and then probably hit italy.that would be fun and o hell of a challenge but the war is kinda allready lost,they have much more money and men and they allmost destroyed the sassanids while I still have big problems with the barbarians and the constantini...damn..is it really no way to solve the problem with the full scripts?!

ps:well I am an AC Milan fan and inzaghi is one of the best strikers not just in the history of milan but also all time and he's my favourite!del piero...RESPECT!one of the greatest players juve has ever had,he is allready a legend for juve,after all he's been there for about 15 years,allmost his entire career,now that is a true player,not the money addicted mercenaries that form the majority of pro' players today!

[inzaghi4ever]

this mod really has some problems...I am now in the summer of the year 435,when I end the turn the game CTD's...i tried with the full scripts=>CTD,I tried with the 4 tpy script=>CTD,I even tried with No Scripts=>CTD...this is unbelievablewhat coud be the cause of these crashes?!

[PSEUDO ROMANUS]

Is it the same CTD you were having before? I mean: you're the WRE, CTD during the Romano-british turn? I know it might sound silly but are you positively sure you're switching scripts? Did you try to restart your computer? This last suggestion is not required but I always do that just to make sure. Can you scroll around the campaign map with no problems?

[inzaghi4ever]

not exactly the same...now it crashes at the franks turn when I use no scripts,and if I remeber well when I use the 4 tpy script or the full ones it crashes after my faction I think,I have to check that.hmm...no I did not restart my pc...I'll come back with news as soon as possible to give correct informations

[inzaghi4ever]

ok so this is it:I restarted my computer and tried with each script,but the results are the same:CTD after end turn at the persarmenians faction icon!

[PSEUDO ROMANUS]

:hmmm:let me think about this.

[inzaghi4ever]

:hmmm:let me think about this.

if it helps I can upload my save game somewhere and you can try to figure out the problem;just tell me where to upload it

[Gromovnik]

I play as ERE, and CTD's happen on AI turn, but it's not always the same AI faction.

That might be a good idea, but not yet. I've asked for some help. let's see what new ideas will come out .

In every turn? even when a differnt script than the full one? Any problems in the campaign map?

I can't remember it, has IB starting characters not belonging to the family tree, or later in the game, then it is most probably this, what causes those ctd's.
I'll try to give a link ... in some minutes.
Edit: Clone Character


And what's with the settlement-rebellion ctd-issue? Is this already adressed and solved along that what is known? I guess you know what i mean ...?

this is very interesting and very informative. thanks DV,
initially we addressed that by giving the characters wives (no wives causes more chance of CTD) guess only way is to somehow make them mebers of Imperial family or get rid of them.

And what's with the settlement-rebellion ctd-issue? Is this already adressed and solved along that what is known? I guess you know what i mean ...?

yes, we have units recruitable from all core buildings - but as I read the thread I guess we will make them recruitable in farms

...i can't seem to find a post in the clone character thread about how to fix it.

unfortunately only way to fix this clone character isue is to edit the desc_strat and cannot be fixed mid-game AFAIK.
