    Default Adding a new faction problems

    Hi

    I am having an odd problem with my mod. I added a new faction, but the new faction does not show on the list of faction you can play. The faction is in the game, can see them on the map. It is not a problem with the startpos files. If I change the faction order in the descr_sm_factions file, the last faction on the list does not show on the faction choise list.

    The faction limit can't be the problem, I only have 28 factions in the game. My first 4 added factions work fine.

    i think the problem is that you forgot to add them at the beginning of the descr_strat as playable

    Yes, I know that Ishtar is spelled wrong

    Sadly, that is not it. I have checked it over and over, no problems. The log does not find any problems, so it is very odd.

    You may need to put a faction from the playable list to the unplayable.Probably one you don't like.I had a problem like that,so i remove Milan and the new faction was there.



    You know you want some....

    Have you made changes to the interface files? The game needs a place to put all of the symbols that you select on the campaign select screen. I believe this has to do with the */data/ui/southern_european/interface/stratpage_#.tga files. 27 sounds about right for those, I count 19 on _02, 1 on _01, and 3 on _04 in terms of having symbols(though _04 looks to have at least one more empty slot). I don't know for sure that this is the problem, but that would be my guess. Someone who's added more than the vanilla number of factions would know, try DaVinci from Sicilian Vespers.
