Unspecified Error

[Minstrel]

So I'm using the latest version of RRRC + Loremod, with no real pattern that I can discern sometimes when hitting start deployment in battles the game crashes with an unspecified error. Happens with all factions as far as I've noticed.

This is the relevant line in the campaign script if notepad counts the lines properly.

monitor_conditions
if I_EventCounter f01_declined == 1
historic_event f01_declined factions { mongols }
set_event_counter f01_declined 0
end_if
if I_EventCounter f02_declined == 1
historic_event f02_declined factions { mongols }
set_event_counter f02_declined 0
end_if
if I_EventCounter f03_declined == 1
historic_event f03_declined factions { mongols }
set_event_counter f03_declined 0
end_if
if I_EventCounter f04_declined == 1
historic_event f04_declined factions { mongols }
set_event_counter f04_declined 0
end_if
if I_EventCounter f05_declined == 1
historic_event f05_declined factions { mongols }
set_event_counter f05_declined 0
end_if
end_monitor

So as I don't know anything about the Medieval 2 engine or modding I'm stuck unless I just autoresolve.

Welcome to the fora Minstrel! Enjoy your stay at TWC
Since this is the official bug forum, I suggest asking submod related questions in the corresponding threads in the submod section.
But since this is my submod I'll answer here. Maybe JAL can merge this thread with the lore thread .
The lines of the campaign_script are not related to the battle map, in fact they should not even fire during battle, they fire at the PreFactionTurnStart.
You will never experience a battle at this event, because it's after the Slave FactionTurnEnd and before your turn starts.
They are, to my knowledge, not related to a battle CTD at all, I could not even imagine why.
I never experienced that in any testing and, till now, it never got reported.
I strongly suppose that your CTD is related to something else.

[Minstrel]

I don't know what it is, get the same log stuff after crash when playing Rhun and Dwarves, it is 100% reproducible, I tried attacking an army from 4 different squares in day and night and it gives me the crash every time I hit start deployment.

Okay turning advisor to none appears to fix the issue.

[Aikanár]

I've not messed with the advisor either.
Are you using the AI by Germanicu5 and if so, have you installed his latest fix for RC+RR?

[Minstrel]

I was using the one packaged in with the latest RRRC mod, but when I installed the latest one + AI switcher on top of RRRC + loremod .55, when I launch the game it has an error about no such unit type as elven smith.
05:32:07.546 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/Third_AgeRRRC/data/export_descr_buildings.txt, at line 11477, column 48
Unknown unit type specified: Elven Smiths

[Aikanár]

I did not suggest to use it, but if you use it, you've to download the fix.
Well and that line indicates, that you don't you're using either a wrong moddel.db or a wrong EDU.

Hi i'm a new member in this spectacular Forum.
But i'm a little confused, how/were do you write possible critisism/corrections about unitdetails to "King Kong" or whoever stands for unitdetails in the mod; Third Age Total War.
-Great Mod by the way
Please answer because i've found small details in Gondor and Rohan Units that neers perfection.

@wawlvawlsawl: check your pms mate

[jack2door]

Have you tried deleting the medieval 2 appdata folder?

Deleting it solved all of my CTD problems (and incidentally my sound problems aswell.)

I tried looking for the medieval II appdata folder, but I can't find it. Are you using the steam version? I'm using the steam version, so where can I find it?

I have made a step-by-step guide on how to find the medieval 2 appdata folder, the link above will guide you to it

[Aleron]

Also have the same error.
Installed TW 2 + Kingdoms (all latest patches).
Installed Third Age 1.0-1.4.
Running 7. And Steam. Tried renaming the folder to americas and all other things written in the Steam thread. Nothing works.

Try installing the 1.4.1 bug fixer .... I saw that you haven't downloaded it yet and It could solve your problem

[Aleron]

Unfortunately, it didn't help. Thanks for the help though. Gonna uninstall the mod and install it again (this time dled it as a torrent. Perhaps a damaged installer last time?).

Update: Reinstalled it with the torrent downloaded files, everything works perfectly now

Excellent

Corrupted or incomplete files are annoying
