    well i had to delete that princess, i'm not good at setting up a family tree

    but i got some new errors trying to add norway in the game... i had to create new charedpage and stratpage becouse is 4th faction and i hope i did it corectly

    i got a CTD when i click the faction in the faction selection menu

    and i also got some strange errors saying that norway can't own NE Cannon on some lines in EDB... i deleted norway from that lines and the errors dont apare anymore ... but is strange becouse i did it 100% clone of denmark

    cannons - you most likely didn't add norway to the ownership line of the cannon (EDU)

    crash - usually a crash to menu has an error message in the log, but that isn't the case here. Go through the tutorial step by step and make sure everything has been set up properly.

    well i had to use my backup and create norway all over again, and i got the NE Cannon errors again but i removed norway from the NE Cannon lines and all worked fine... now i got another problem creating lithuania, when i go to the faction selection menu i can't see lithuania, but if i play as another faction i can see lithuania on the map with all the unit entries in their correct places... what can i do to see this faction in the selection menu too? this is my 5th custom faction, is there a limit for how many factions can be shown in the selection menu? i have all the original ones (except saxons, rebels, and normans) and the 5 customs i made

    i'm not going to play as lithuania, but i consider this problem a bug and i want to solve it

    You will need an edited mtw2.lnt file - that's where the display of those symbols is defined. I will 'borrow' you mine from PDeR. Extract into the data\menu folder.

    Hi Gigantus, i downloaded and installed and followed the tutorial precisely (at least what i thought was precisely, if i done it right i wouldn't be here) any way i try to start up the mod the screen goes black and then i get your custom error message lol.
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    He He He He

    It looks like you made an error in the modeldb file. Check the entries there.

    You can use any graphic editor as long as it handle TGA (and DDS) files.

    File names remain the same, regardless of the mod. Unless you tell me what exactly you are looking for I won't be able to tell which file it is.

    I mean what faction corresponds to what name.
    Like for example if hordaland = turks

    hordaland = horda --> text\expanded.txt = {HORDA}Jarldom of Hordaland

    See page 6 of the manual, also included in the installer

    This file will give you all the in game (display) text like the faction name. It is a bit cumbersome; hence, I have provided you with a template (expanded_template.txt) in the same folder (data\text). Simply do some ‘find and replace’ after you made a backup.
    NEW_CULTURE -> OTTOMANS (use ‘Match case’!)
    New_Culture ->The Ottoman Empire (use ‘Match case’!)
    Adjective -> Ottoman Empire’s

    That leaves the special entries for ‘weakness, strength, unit, titles of leader and heir’. Once done, do a copy\paste from the template to the bottom of the expanded.txt file.

    Question: I have opened my SD files with Notepad (also Notepad++) but they are mostly gibberish and not really suited to modify. I see the relevant info among the garbage but am very hesitant to touch the file in this condition. I know there is a python script someplace for editing these files but my machine just won't let python scripts work for some reason. Any advice on changing these files?

    There should be some .xml files with the download, it's these that you edit and they force the .sd files to rebuild.

    Your python version might be too high - get 2.6

    I had 2.7.1 and changed to 2.6. That exactly fixed everything. Is there nothing beyond the reach of the mighty Gigantus!?!
