Error while modding the Sons of Mars prologue

[ProdigalSon]

Hello

I'm trying to make a "Hannibal in Italy" campaign editing the Sons of Mars prologue. When I try to start the campaign it doesn't load, and the error report about descr_regions.txt says:

"Couldn't find region name 'Gallia_Cispadana' in stringtable"

It's not some spelling i as haven't edited regions and i checked other files for spelling too just in case and then moved it to the end of the list. This resulted in the next region (now the first in the file) appear with in the error.

Btw it's a rtw1.5/bi1.6 install if it has to do anything with versions, saying this cause the descr_strat was written a bit different at some parts than the one for main campaign, and i edited that parts to look like the newer versions.

Anyone got a clue how to fix this?

Well, what did you change?

I changed things like

character Gaius Julius, named character, leader, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 39, , x 22, y 48
traits Brave 1 , NaturalMilitarySkill 4 , GoodCommander 2 , GoodAttacker 1 , Intelligent 1 , StrategicSkill 1 , RhetoricSkill 1 , PoliticsSkill 1
to
character Gaius Julius, named character, leader, age 39, , x 22, y 48
traits Brave 1 , NaturalMilitarySkill 4 , GoodCommander 2 , GoodAttacker 1 , Intelligent 1 , StrategicSkill 1 , RhetoricSkill 1 , PoliticsSkill 1

and

faction_relationships romans_julii, at_war_with gauls, greek_cities, slave
to
faction_relationships romans_julii, 600 gauls, greek_cities, slave

like they are in the imprerial campaign descr_strat. Also changed some char names with ones that exist in the names list and changed some of the factions in the campaign. Could it be any of such things is related to errors like the one i mentioned above?

Edit: I also think the problem happens to regions that the region and/or settlement name is different to the one in imperial campaign.

Sadly this part of the forums seems nearly dead, hope someone can help me

I never touched the sons of mars files so I have no idea how they are. But that stringtable error usually appears when you add\remove\rename regions, and since you said you didn't do it, it's very strange.

If there were errors in names there should be a CTD with no error.

But really it looked like this?
character Gaius Julius, named character, leader, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 39, , x 22, y 48
traits Brave 1 , NaturalMilitarySkill 4 , GoodCommander 2 , GoodAttacker 1 , Intelligent 1 , StrategicSkill 1 , RhetoricSkill 1 , PoliticsSkill 1

with command, management...on the first line?? never saw anything like it..

Anyway I would suggest to leave the file structure as they were. I mean, if the original Sons of Mars works, leave those strange command, influence on the first line, leave at_war_with instead of 600...etc etc. Don't care if the structure of descr_strat.txt in Imperial Campaign is different, Sons of Mars is a different thing.

And then, you have to remove all the scripts, speeches, camera auto movements...also this can cause problems.

It was for sure like that, so could be it if everything else is strange. I'll try converting it back that way when i got time and post the results, thx for the help
