[HELP] CTD when getting to the campaign map

[Revan Shan]

I've been modding my total conversion for a good time already, but I've been working mainly on units.

Today I errased the property of certain units so that they didn't appear in the custom battles, and worked. But when I got to the camapign map the game crushed. Perhaps I touched somth I should have in the EDU or modeldb...

Dunno. The faction intro movie plays, and then the campaign loads. Once you are suposed to get to the map the game crushes to desktop.

[Revan Shan]

It doesn't seem to be the errased names. I wrote them again and the campaign does the same. CTD

[Gigantus]

Did you check the log?

[Revan Shan]

Log? lol What's that?

[Swagger]

put this in your cfg

[log]
to = logs\System.log.txt
level = * error

and run the game

then go to med2tw/logs/ and open System.log.txt and copy-paste the last 5 lines here

You deleted the descr_rebels.txt or it doesn't exist in the Kingdoms Grand Campaign mod, either way you need the rebel factions in the rebels.txt to match those in descr_regions.txt

[Revan Shan]

Oh and also. I started delleting ownership names (country names) from the EDU. And when I tried the mod it just didn't work. The game didn't start. Direct crash to desktop.

[Gigantus]

I think you need to spent some time in the tutorial sections. What you are doing is something like this:

1. Cut off something.
2. If it was a leg be surprised why you can't walk

[Revan Shan]

Yeah, I know. But presumably taking out faction ownership should prevent the game from starting.

And about the other thing... About the rebels. What do I need to match with what? If I'm not mistaken it worked once I started modding...

[Gigantus]

You take out ownership in the EDU, you get CTD through the EDB.

Rebels: things usually work BEFORE we start modding, not sure afterward. The rebel entry in the descr_regions has to match an entry in descr_rebel_factions, which has to have a counter entry in data\text\rebel_faction_descr.txt - not that easy, is it?

As I said: tutorials (there a few in my sig).

I touched nothing on those.

[Gigantus]

I touched nothing on those.

Possible, that is not a critical (CTD) error.

[Revan Shan]

All CTDs are critical... This one for example makes the campaign unstartable.

[Gigantus]

CTD = Crash to Desktop

wrong rebel entries = no CTD - needs fixing nevertheless

[Revan Shan]

Well, if that's not causing the crush what could it be?

[Gigantus]

Still waiting for you to upload the complete log, compressed please! Some errors are in the middle of it.

If you want to check yourself, simply search for the [error] entries and the explanation line beneath.

Here you have it:

rebel unit type 'Byzantine Spearmen' not available to faction type 'Greek_Rebels' (see unit ownership)

This could be your culprit. Did you delete it from the EDU?

[Revan Shan]

I don't remember touching that unit in the edu... This is what it says on the ownership lines:

ownership byzantium
era 0 byzantium
era 1 byzantium
era 2 byzantium
