Events

[Tintin2]

Hello,
I am currently playing a campaign with the russians and as I get further in the game the events don't show up anymore.
Normaly there should be a mini movie of the mongols before they enter the game wich doesn't show up.
If there is a crusade or jihad called there is not a message coming if the jihad or crusade failed/succeeded while I see they succeed after all.
Had the same problem while playing with Egypt.
Currently I am using retrofit/grand unit addon v6 with XAI Battle and Campaign files.
I did some changes myself in the EDU, EDB etc ...
If someone has a idea what this problem could be and how to solve this, it would be very appreciated.
PS: I reinstalled the whole game trying to fix this but no luck.
Kind regards

Sounds like the campaign_script is not even firing. Set your log to Trace and then play 1 turn of new campaign. Then open the log and do a search for campaign_script. Keeping searching for multiple lines containng it and that should explain why its not being read. Could be something as simple a mispelled word or a space at the wrong place.

I could be wrong of course. Regardless, your log should explain somewhere what the issue is.

I'll be happy to help further if i can.

At first, I thought it was campaign script too, but even the jihad and crusade messages stopped. The campaign script does not control these. Maybe you just have video disabled in your preferences.cfg?

Well, In my preferences.cfg there is currently a line under video like this :
## disable movies
# movies = false
I don't think this has to do anything with the event movies ?
The only thing I added in the campaign script is a money script.
Maybe the money script could be wrong ? Well I changed the money script again and the gunpowder event was able to play.
Well, no jihads nor crusades called since then, I will await the arrival of the timurids and see if the event will activate properly.
Still there is sometime a bug, a faction declares war, few turns later the same faction declares war again to the same faction without having a ceasefire message first.
Unless it's the same like the jihad/crusades messages..
I ran trough my log txt, nothing could be found about the campaign script tho.
I will let know when the timurids invade, hopefuly very soon.
Thanks for the help so far guys!
Kind regards

The movies option controls event movies, IIRC, but it is commented out with the hash mark in your preferences.cfg, so it should not have any effect... Try changing that to movies = true and see what happens. Do you get movies when you do assassination/spying missions?

There is a separate event_movies entry in the config file that deals with event movies. Like gigantus said, that option just controls the opening movies.

Check the disable_events line in your m2tw.preferences.cfg file. It should be 0. If not, all events will be disabled. In the past I have had this game change this to 1 on it's own for some reason. It was really annoying as it was only after a complete reinstall of M2TW (+all the patches, +Kingdoms, +Stainless Steel) that I noticed this option in the config file

movies = true

This is for the intro movies only. Handy if you have seen it once too often and are tired of pressing the escape button all the time.

Thank you all for helping me, since everything is okay in my .cfg file there shouldn't be any problem.
Tho I'm back from Barcelona and now I'll play unil the timurids arrive.
I'll keep it posted when they invade and hopefully everything will work properly how it should be.
Kind regards.
