Agents and Epithets

**uanime5** · August 18, 2009, 06:01 PM

I've recently been troubleshooting my mod and I found that the mod was crashing when an AI priest got an Epithet. As I've had priests get Epithets before without problems I was wondering if this crash was caused by a priest gaining too many Epithets. Has anyone has a similar problem or researched whether agents getting Epithets can cause a mod to crash?

I use epithets very frequently for priests (some 100 bishops titles implemented) and never run into any problems. It is most likely are very small thing with this specific epithet that causes your crash, like having forgot a letter or something like that.

I don't think it's a problem with this epithet as the mod previously crashed when an AI priest got another epithet. konny is it possible for a priest to have more than 1 Bishop title (epithet) in your mod, as I think the problem is to do with a priest getting multiple epithets, not with them getting an epithet.

No. The system is set up in a way that each priest can only acquire one title.

Could you please post your code here, may be someone will find the error.

Here is the trait:

Code:

    Level Beacon_of_Faith
        Description Beacon_of_Faith_desc
        EffectsDescription Beacon_of_Faith_effects_desc
        Epithet Beacon_of_Faith_epithet_desc
        Threshold  6 

        Effect Piety  3 
        Effect Eligibility  2 
        Effect Purity  3 
        Effect Violence -2

Here is the 'export_vnvs.txt' entry:

Code:

{Beacon_of_Faith}    Beacon of Faith
{Beacon_of_Faith_desc}    A true champion of spreading the faith. He always leaves a trail of believers in his wake.
{Beacon_of_Faith_effects_desc}    +3 Piety, +2 Eligibility, +3 Purity, -2 Violence
{Beacon_of_Faith_epithet_desc}    the Missionary

I have found that if I change the 'Beacon_of_Faith_epithet_desc' line to any other Epithet the mod still crashes, which is why I think that the problem is that a priest has too many Epithets.

But the crash does not occur when the priest gets the trait without epithet?

What's the code for the entire trait as well as the triggers for it look like? Also, if the code tag didn't muck things up, it looks like you have spaces instead of a tab after the }, it should always be tabs.

Make sure all the entries in export_VnVs.txt are there and are spelled correctly. That's the most common cause of crashes related to traits/ancillaries.
