Encountering several issues while modding

[Drakontos]

Hi, I'm in the process of slowly modding BI to achieve... well, I'm not sure yet.

While doing so, I have encountered several issues. I have searched for solutions both here and in the Modding workshop, but have failed to find any. I'm also a total novice, so I'm rather lacking in any form of initiative with regard to where to look amongst the files or what questions to be asking here.

First things first, what I have done so far is install a bug fixer patch I found somewhere on the offical TotalWar forums (fixes Chosen Archer skins etc), and then also installed Seleukos' Revisio Cartae Geographicae.

The first issue I found was that night battles weren't possible, despite the trait being available and them being set to TRUE in preferences.txt. I managed to fix this by inserting a line "options bi" or something in descr_strat, having searched here.

Further issues I have yet to solve:
-When the family update window thing happens, ancillary gains do not have images. The actual family members themselves do get the images in the ancillary part of their window though.
-Members do not seem to be able to get the eagle-gatherer series of traits. (It is possible this was caused by my being a horde at the time, so I had no city for it to be 'sent' to?) The traits *are* in export_descr_character_traits. This is based on only one event, it could have been a simple glitch on the engine's part, not a repeating issue.
-Heroic victory markers do not seem to be showing up. Again, this is based on a single occurance.

Any suggestions on how to fix these? Many thanks for any help.


If any more come up, I'll either ask them here or hopefully have learnt how to deal with them myself.

These questions need to be made in the modding forums - this forum is for technical problems with RTW (and earlier TW games).

As you've got several questions I'll move this to the miscellaneous part of the modding workshop.
