newbie's problem

[torda]

Hey All,

I need your help guys, today I've downloaded and installed DLV 6.0+6.1 patch. FYI I'm using windows 7 x64.
Well, when I try to start DLV I got the first picture after nothing happen just exit. I don't know what's the problem. All of my kingdoms' mods are working and ofc I have an original version.

I noticed that in the log file there are some error:
23:51:40.773 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/DLV_ext/data/export_descr_unit.txt, at line 16945, column 18
Unrecognised engine type 'mangonel'.
23:51:40.773 [data.invalid] [error] DATABASE_TABLE error found : error reading record from file mods/DLV_ext/data/export_descr_unit.txt.

Anyone can help me?

Thnx

UAC disabled when you installed?

UAC is part of windows, google it if you don't already know how to turn it off.

[ColdBlo0d]

Im shure i have it off. I have a gaming edition of win 7 that i dled, cuz i didn't like all the extra crap that came with the CDs, and it came with UAC off by default

[Taiji]

If you checked and found it was off. Then OK.

Try installing to a folder other than program files. It's what I have to do to get my own mod working on 7.

[Brandalf]

I've installed the DLV 6.0 + 6.2 and I've got this same problem.
I use Win XP.

[Taiji]

Actually... This isn't the error caused by the user installing 6.2 into the wrong folder is it? I think it might be.

6 goes in mods, and 6.2 goes in m2tw.

[Brandalf]

Hmm - but in instruction is: Execute file Deus_lo_Vult_Openbeta_62.exe and enter the correct path for the installation
Example: C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War

And so choosed I...

[Taiji]

Yep. Make certain that 6 goes in 'mods' folder and 6.2 goes in 'Medieval II Total War' folder.

[Brandalf]

So - should I re-install all the MTW2? Or Kingdoms? Or just DLV?

[Taiji]

Install 6.0 to 'mods'

Install 6.2 to 'Medieval II Total War'

If you fail to do this then you will get this error:

15:17:29.559 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/DLV_ext/data/export_descr_unit.txt, at line 16523, column 18
Unrecognised engine type 'mangonel'.

Which makes sense because any file not present in the mod is taken from vanilla. And vanilla does not have mangonels, only the kingdoms campaigns have mangonels.

Incidentally I imported mangonels into DLV. One of my earlier contributions, and I did a bit of a sloppy job of it. I think they still have no sounds...

[Brandalf]

I used polish version of Kingdoms, mayby the problem is in this?

[Brandalf]

When I've installed the DLV 6.0 and launch the game, after DLV loading screen comes crash.

After that, I've don't try to install DLV 6.2...

I've got the Kingdoms 1.05
Where's the problem? What should I do?

[Taiji]

Where's the problem?

... That's not DLV 6. I wonder what you have installed there. Is it SS by any chance?

What should I do?

Pay more attention to what you are doing?

[Brandalf]

Well, now everything is ok.

There must be some erros durning the installation of 6.0. But I've installed it one more time, and then 6.2 and everything is ok!

Thanks Taiji for your time, God blees ya!

[Taiji]

No worries, Brandalf

I hope you enjoy 6.2

You might like to check out BB, my mod for DLV. It's a massive improvement over 6.2 ... but then I suppose I would say that
