"no CTD" campaign script - compatible v1.03.1

Well if some of you are experiencing campaign CTDs (cannot reload a save game) but still they want all armies spawning + chaos undivided script, here is what you need

Download link: < removed >
Install: This file must be unrar into Medieval II\mods\teutonic\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign

What it does ? It basically remove all the auto battles.

Note: compatible with v1.03.1 (latest version + hotfix)

PLEASE STOP USING THIS

Much thanks for making this public cedric37
I just got into a campaign before the the first CTD paralyzed my PC
The mod does get a hold of you once you start ...I bought the book Reiksguard to give some Warhammer immersion, the work of the CoW team is excellent I hope they produce a patch to fix this script issue

He he, you are welcome, i too played a lot Warhammer when i was young, but with a RPG approach. This mod is soooo great.
I now try to play as dwarf H/H ans the challenge is here.
My last game i suspend from now because it was too easy (Slaanesh M/M to learn the basics of the mod).
The CoW team has produced a quick fix with minimum scripted events if you like it; but my version contains all the scripted events, except it removes some commands which i know are making CTD from experience.

Cheers,
Cédric.






PS: feel free to +rep me if you like it ^^

No, but it lobotomizes it so it doesn't auto rape you into the ground...

I havent come across one crash since 1.01 except for two. Both I was able to circumvent by going to previous saves.

@isilendil: True!

But normaly you have 2 stacks of orcs that will still spawn nearby.
After that, what they do is up to the AI, of course.

Again, i wish i could play full version but i go from CTD to CTD when i do

@valiant champion: you lucky one !

After using this mod I haven't had a single crash. Yeah all the cool scripts are gone but it doesn't really matter when the game crashes before I can experience most of them. Thanks for uploading this.

You are welcome!

Just to advertize, i finished my Chaos campaign on turn 125 without any single campaign CTD and all armies spawning correctly + chaos undivided.

Dear cedric37 I've tried your script mod and truth to be told I never had a CTD.
So thanks a lot.
The only argument is that even if Chaos Undivided appears as a faction I didn't get any of the huge armies invading everywhere, so I took the liberty to alter the original script into something less bugy but preserving all the wildly Chaos invasion stuff. You'll find it in the sub-mod section.
Thanks again for your mod.

Yes, this one has surely stamp APPROVED WITH SORROW AND JOY. Thanks Cedric...

The problem of this mod is that the spawning chaos or orc armies will often only wander back to their home territories. The pressure on the Empire you have with the original script is gone.

Btw does any body know if changeing the script after you start a campaign will work?

@odintsaq: nice work my fellow CoW-er! (ans you are welcome)
I will give a try to your version. What did you change exactly ?

@Yarkis: yes, i know, the AI is very poor when too far away from home... In fact the deal was like isilendil said: (more) boring game or CTD game (for those having CTDs like me). But this is not truely a mod, as i said, but a quick (and kind of dirty) fix to avoid continual CTD, and i uploaded it following the pressure of several people.

EDIT: and oh, change the script -> you need to restart a campaign for the NEW script to be effective.

I just put an ";" to comment the lines that invoce an historic event. That way nothing is alterted, as I've said, and all CTD related to this kind of problem don't occur. Of course all other types of CTD (graphical bugs for example) are unavoidable, but for me at least it doesn't prevent me from completing the game.

Simple as that ? Well you are brillant dude. Gratz! He he, i will try it out. If it is good and i experience no CTD, i will point people out to your thread.

But this fix only the Empire faction right ? You could try to extend this to other factions ?

Given the script and the "if" "and if" beign used in the statement of the event the bretonian event is only meant if the AI is controlinh Chaos (all factions), Orcs and Goblins I think. The thing is that the bretonian army is available only for the Empire Factions.
The SAVAGE_IS_DEAD event is for all factions except Orcs I think, since it is refering to their faction (suppose it is saying that the Orc leader is dead or somethinh like that).
Hope it works for you as well.
Cheers

Hey i just got your fix do i delete Map.rvm before i start a new game??
