[husserlTW]

hi

what is b5 and c5?
did any one change new orleans and naples?

These are the cells of erasmus spread sheet which you have to use 2 times during the convertion. Just open the sheet (excel, open office spread sheet) and follow the instructions. Ask for any new difficulty. And Naples was mentioned in the forum that has been converted.

I did, but im trying to fix it, because it looks like this. Im trying to move it just a little to see if it fixes, but all i get is CTD;s when i try to move it, so dont know

Louisiana is surrounding by models of houses that are met only around native American cities. Maybe the problem has to do with that. If you have play Louisiana without the convertion and there is a chance to remember how (and if) the houses were upgraded it would be very helpful.

Erasmus777 (also known as the "mad moder") has found a clever way to bypass the false behaviour of CAI and get rid of the exiting bug. After the necessary trials the tutorial will be updated. Welldone erasmus777 +rep!

can i download a finished major city naples?

[major_payne]

could you send me the files some how? i think i found a way to get the buildings back.
or could you tell me step for step how to modify new orleans? i already did the buildings, but i don't know how to change the coordinates.

[Burnoutfigs]

Well my saved game file will not work for you unless you are useing APE/TI mod, I can make it again using vanilla...if you want. Or i can explain to you better how to do coords? Up to you

[major_payne]

could you send me the files and could you explain it to me.
i think it would be best if you would explain it to me by sending a me a message. thanks for helping me!

This is because the city still has a minor city fortifaction instead of the major city fortification (you would be able to see it you removed the building slots, they are blocking it). I don't know if this has been fixed yet, but I am working on it

Check the entries in the region slot of the government building and the coordinates in regions.esf.

That's a long, long, long project... Any way at the moment can not be done because of the up to day knowledge about startpos and the lack of the modding tools that CA has announced.

And Naples was mentioned in the forum that has been converted. can i download a finished major city naples?

Sorry I haven't Naples converted. Try the tutorial.

I don't know if this has been fixed yet, but I am working on it

No it hasn't been fixed yet and any help is much welcome, pikemen!

THE TUTORIAL HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A NON EXITING BUG VERSION

I do have one question. What if you use a mexico building and they try and upgrade it?

[alpaca]

So can you verify that the majorised cities work completely, the AI is able to garrison them and create buildings and also to capture them?

Sorry, I don't understand your question. You mean if the new major city is controlled by an AI faction?

[husserlTW]

I do have one question. What if you use a mexico building and they try and upgrade it?

The existing buildings that will lend the ID's and the CAI records, must not be upgraded or repaired, because, since they luck of CAI records, a crush will be occurred. So you have to be very careful in choosing the cities that will lend you existing iD's and CAI records for your new buildings, because they must not be conquered by the AI or the player during the entire campaign.

Im sorry, my question is how do you stop lets say mexico from upgradeing there building?

You have full upgraded already the buildings by yourself (STEP 2).
