turn 1.1 posted///

[Koljan]

...milan.

[pwf224]

and now we are back to where we were. sorry about that guys. reece, hopefully you have more time tomorrow to play your save

Wales.

[Frunk]

EDIT: Okay, I've got a problem. When I try to load the save the game reverts back to the menu... This doesn't happen for any other saves. What is wrong?

[Incontinenta Buttox]

Do you use vista?

[Frunk]

Yes I do.

[Incontinenta Buttox]

Firstly, Check you have UAC switched off, as this can cause problems. Then try reloading the save again.

If it still doesn't work. Check your medieval2.kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod.CFG file (located within the kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod folder).

Your hotseat settings must be saved to look like in the quote below before you attempt to play! or it won't work.

Quote:
[hotseat]
turns = 0
autoresolve_battles = 0
disable_console = 1
disable_papal_elections = 1
save_prefs = 1
save_config = 1
update_ai_camera = 1
validate_diplomacy = 1

[multiplayer]
playable = 1
factions = 1

If what you have is different. Please amend it to look like the above. Otherwise you could reinstall the 4.2 patch, with UAC turned off. If your UAC was turned on when you downloaded the patch. It may have corrupted the download.

[Frunk]

Ugh, reinstall, my least favourite word. All right, here goes...

[Incontinenta Buttox]

Good luck

[Frunk]

Thanks mate. I'll let you know if I have no success and then I guess you can skip my turn until I get things sorted.

[pwf224]

That's very strange....

If you continue to have problems PM me what you want your password to be, and give me instructions on how to play your first turn and I'll play it for you. Turn one is important to play and you don't want the AI messing it up for you. Plus, Wales can't be too complicated they are cornered against the sea, have a wall of mountains protecting them, and only two cities.

EDIT: You do have patch 4.2 right? and nothing is modified?

[Incontinenta Buttox]

I loaded up the save myself. Nothing wrong with that.

[pwf224]

Any word Reece?

[Frunk]

Just sent my PM but I'll post here to. Did a complete reinstall of M2TW, Kingdoms, 3.0 and 4.2 today with UAC off as recommended. Everything runs smoothly; everything but that save. I know it's a problem on my end, but I have no experience in being able to troubleshoot exactly what. Unless anybody else has any ideas I think I'll regretfully have to pull out.

[pwf224]

We don't want you to pull out, this is supposed to be an epic hotseat and we need a rep from the British Isles. I sent you some info in the PM. See if that helps. I'll give you a curtosy 12 additional hours from deadline (so about 10 hours from now), then I'll play your first turn for you.

You said that other saves work fine, and IB said this save loads fine as well. Maybe the save is corrupted? Try downloading a previous save (HRE for example) and see if you have problems with that. If a previous save works, try downloading your turn again. In this way we can narrow down the problem area. If all else fails, send me your desired password and turn instructions. Hopefully we can get you sorted before turn 2 in that case. If not, I'll have to let you go

[Frunk]

Oh, right, I wasn't sure in my PM what you meant by other saves. I've downloaded Milan and am testing now.

EDIT: Hmm, same result.

[THARN]

this is probably a dumb question- where are you un zipping the save file to?
it needs to go into the sega/med 2/mods/ kingdoms folder. not into the regular save folder.

[Koljan]

No offense, but i request faction be put on AI control until tech issues are sorted.

Yes, that's where it is. The save appears in the list of save games in "Load Game," but fails to upload.

@Koljan: I gave pwf my instructions for my first turn, but I agree - there's no reason for me to play through him for the whole campaign. Do whatever you need.

[Koljan]

It is possible that in this mess i am to blame.
I just checked my file, and it is so:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

[features]
editor = true
mod = mods/kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod

[game]
auto_save = 1
event_cutscenes = 1
unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 1

[hotseat]
turns = 0
disable_console = 1
disable_papal_elections = 1
validate_diplomacy = 1
autosave = 1
save_prefs = 1
update_ai_camera = 1
save_config = 1
autoresolve_battles = 0

[multiplayer]
playable = 1
factions = 1 # = england, 2 = france, 4 = hre, 3 = england+france, etc

[network]
use_ip =
use_port = 27750

[video]
event_movies = 1

[misc]
show_hud_date = 1

so, i think the file got ed on my end then somehow owf managed to play his turn (maybe his settings are screwed too? ^^)

anyways this might be nothing and it might be everything.
