Save CTD fixed!!

**tone** · October 12, 2009, 07:23 PM

Finally managed to figure out what was causing it.
I removed a couple of non-historical names from the descr_names.txt file. Maybe they need changing in the names.txt file in the /text folder.
Anyway, reverting this to the previous version seems to have fixed the problem.
I've updated SVN with the fixed version.

Sorry for the hassle this caused.

so it was the names.

Didn't we have a CTD earlier when some historical names were added? Kinda funny that when non-historical ones are taken out, the same thing happens.

What options are you using - i.e. Rome, Pergamon, 0-turn, 1-turn etc and which exe and which revision?

I've run a 'Other Factions' (revision 459) and did not get this.

To check which revision you ar eusing just select the folder, right mouse click and select 'show log'. It will shw all revisions in the repository and the one you are using will be in bold. It's now at revision 462....

It's only in the Roman campaign and is to do with the new dictator_for_life traits. I'm not sure yet what the fix is, but Calvin is aware.

Does this mean the Roman campaign is unplayable again?

**Marku** · October 13, 2009, 07:56 AM

It sounds like it. I think Tone may still want people to test Carthage. If not try another campaign - I've just started playing with Armenia.

edit: i cant save any games or load any while im on the campaign map.

It sounds from Tone's post that this needs to be fixed by Calvin. The traits are very complex and can be hard to unravel.

Try another faction for a while until this gets fixed.

Yeah I need you guys to play as Carthage so the roman campaign doesn't matter as of now. (though we want to fixit.)

**Calvin** · October 13, 2009, 11:52 AM

Ok, uploaded the fix.

**~~Ibram~~** · October 13, 2009, 11:54 AM

But Calvin said I was special

**apple** · October 13, 2009, 11:57 AM

If a dev member request your help that overrun that "law".

**Marku** · October 13, 2009, 01:57 PM

thank you calvin!

**sithlord447** · October 13, 2009, 02:53 PM

when will be doing the succeseser states?

**tone** · October 13, 2009, 04:34 PM

once Carthage is looking OK. Rome proably last as we need to get all the rebellion stuff sorted first.

**sithlord447** · October 14, 2009, 10:45 AM

ok cool

**dvk901** · October 24, 2009, 08:28 AM

Tone, if you remove a name or names from 'names.txt' in the text folder, it must also be removed from 'descr_names.txt' in the 'data' folder (the file should be searched for ALL instances of the name), AND 'descr_strat.txt' has to be searched to make sure that name wasn't used in the starting setup. The error was probably the result of the name being in one of (or both) the other files.
