[MrThib]

On Win XP, it’s situated at: C:\Documents and Settings\[USER-NAME]\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts

On Vista: C:\Users\[USER-NAME]\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts

Take care those are hidden folders.

Hmm, any ideas what's going wrong that would cause Empire to crash just from the user script being present?

[MrThib]

I think it could be the synthax, but the crash seem pretty random to be sure.
the " should not be a problem but as for the # I really don't know, since sometime empire launch but not the mods(I know that // works too, but at this point I don't know if the mods don't launch for bad synthax or are marked like comments).
Or perhaps this is coming from a reuse of the script, it could be erased before saving changes (since I assume they are in memory).
Just guessing there since from the test I've done I've no clue of what happen.

The link to the windwos binary doesnt work

[MrThib]

There's a big "click here" on this page.... I've just downloaded it

There is? Lol i honestly cannot locate this "CLICK HERE" d/l option. =d

And the windows link return back this msg:
This file is currently unavailable. Click here to view this projects available releases.

/edit
Nevermind! Gues i actually had to "click here" on the unavailable message, hehe! =D

Btw if i aint got a user.script will this mod make it for me?.

Yes

weird, empire crashes when i use ANY pack files listed as mod type. whereas those same pack files work fine if i set the packs to the movie type. anybody else having this issue?

[Tilarium]

Might be stupid question, but where do I DL it? I clicked the first link but it popped up saying the file was unavaliable.

[Ftmch]

For me it crashes when I try to start the game with the script-file present. :/

I'm using Vista 32bit by the way, if that helps.

[MrThib]

@Ftmch:
Check what's in the script file and edit it to have something like
mod My_Mod.pack;
mod My_Mod2.pack;
And if your file was really different, do you mind posting it here?
That could probably help LTChambers.

[Ftmch]

The file looks like this:

mod "ListViewItem: {mod_austria}.pack";
mod "ListViewItem: {mod_netherlands}.pack";

That's the only thing in it, it doesn't crash when I clear the file though (not removing it, just emptying it), so it's something in the code.

Edit: However, the packs seem to work fine when making them into "movie" and placing them in the data-folder, is there any downsides to this?


Edit again: Ah, I found a downside, not all new textures showed up, darn.

[MrThib]

try editing the script file with this:

mod mod_austria.pack;
mod mod_netherlands.pack;
(don't forget to save in unicode format).

(put them back in mod format) and that will work!

[solecist]

that doesn't work for me and i am having the same crash as ftmch...my pack files also work fine if i set them to the movie type

[LtChambers]

I've noticed the ListViewItem save bug, I'll fix it tonight.

[Ftmch]

try editing the script file with this:

mod mod_austria.pack;
mod mod_netherlands.pack;
(don't forget to save in unicode format).

(put them back in mod format) and that will work!

Yes, it did work! Thank you very much.
