[Believer]

Hello Uanime5

Really good mod and idea,wish you the best luck in the future whit this.

1) What Campaign you were playing.
-I play the 1400,Bosnian campaign.
2) What the problem is.
-I click the next turn button and all goes well before it comes to the France fraction,the game(display) just froze than on this point.I have than to open the task manager to quiet the game.
3) What you were trying to do or the AI was doing when the problem occurred.
-Just clicked on the next turn button.The turn freezes at the France fraction.
4) An error log.
-Attached.

I hope its fixable.

There is another CTD while I am making the siege of Pecs and when I want to go to battle map it crashes the same as before.

Error log:

[Kjertesvein]

I can't download the entier 2.0+2.1 in one download, because it stops some where around 70%. I suggest breaking it up. I can however download 2.0 successfully. I have played earlier versions before 2.1 before, so that is not really the problem.

The second issue is with 2.1 patch, I can' extract it. It tells me about coat of arms in the data\ui\ancillaries

Extracting ui\ancillaries\coat of arms.jpg Unknown compression method

^This is the error I get in Winzip when trying to extract the eniter file or just parts of it. I'm not sure which way to take this.

I concur....I would also add that maybe a break-up into three separete mods might help improve the mod's stability

[uanime5]

Solution?

After some testing I found that this error is caused when an officer in a group of soldiers is incorrect. Unfortunately M2TW won't tell me which officer is causing the problem so I need to know all the units that were taking part in the battle and which factions were using them.

The lasting thing in the error log is that it's making France's allies like France more. Does France have a lot of allies?

It seems that the game crashes always when I am making the siege of town of Sisak (Sisak region), when I want to go to the battle map it crashes.

Sportsman both the error logs you uploaded are identical and both are caused by the same missing ancillaries as the previous error logs you uploaded. Are you uploading error logs from the 'Medieval II Total War' folder or the 'Medieval II Total War/logs' folder?

Have you tried using download manager to download the 2.0+2.1 version. Alternatively you could download the 2.0 version that is in 3 parts, then download the 2.1 patch.

Just skip the coat of arms.jpg as all the images you need are tgas.

@Sivilombudsmannen

That won't have any effect on the mod's stability and will just make it harder for me to update the mod. If you wish to turn this mod into 3 mods go ahead but you'll soon find just how difficult that is.

[Kjertesvein]

Yes, but it didn't work. The downloader stopeed at about 70-80%.

I tried this. I got the 2.0 version from before allready downloaded. The problem is to extract the 2.1 patch. I doesn't allow me to extract any of the files, when coat of arms.jpg is broken. Sort of wierd that way, but I don't think it's that uncommen.

Sportsman both the error logs you uploaded are identical and both are caused by the same missing ancillaries as the previous error logs you uploaded. Are you uploading error logs from the 'Medieval II Total War' folder or the 'Medieval II Total War/logs' folder?

I was uploading error logs only from "Medieval II Total War" folder. I would upload now new error log from "Medieval II Total War/logs" folder but I cannot upload it as "txt" attachment 'cause it's over 1MB. How can I upload it in different way?

[Silencer10]

Hey, I really want to play this mod but but it keeps crashing. I can select the campaign and copy the files fine but when the campaign loads it will CTD. Any help would be appreciated, couldn't figure out how to attach a file because I am a tard so I copy/pasted. That is the whole log too. If someone could tell me how to attach a file that would also be appreciated.

Hey I'm having some problems playing the mod.I downloaded and installed the mod,patch,and the RAR file for the patch.But when I try to play any of the mods several files are not copied and when I try to click on a faction symbol the mod crashes and it says "Medieval 2 Total War encountered a unspecified error and will now exit."

[The Holy Pilgrim]

I found two texture errors:

1) The Yumitori face textures are missing.

2) Some of the Streltsy units have textureless axes.

Are you trying to using the vanilla M2TW to play a Kingdoms mod?

Yes, but it didn't work. The downloader stopeed at about 70-80%.

I tried this. I got the 2.0 version from before allready downloaded. The problem is to extract the 2.1 patch. I doesn't allow me to extract any of the files, when coat of arms.jpg is broken. Sort of wierd that way, but I don't think it's that uncommen.

I've uploaded a version of the 2.1 patch without this file. Hopefully it will unpack correctly:

Hey I'm having some problems playing the mod.I downloaded and installed the mod,patch,and the RAR file for the patch.But when I try to play any of the mods several files are not copied and when I try to click on a faction symbol the mod crashes and it says "Medieval 2 Total War encountered a unspecified error and will now exit."

Without an error log I can't tell why the mod is crashing. The first post explains where they are and how to attach them.

I found two texture errors:

1) The Yumitori face textures are missing.

2) Some of the Streltsy units have textureless axes.

Okay I'll try to fix this as soon as I can.

Are you trying to using the vanilla M2TW to play a Kingdoms mod?

I think so, after the launcher for M2TW comes up I select play and choose medieval II: total war I've tried selecting kingdoms campaigns (Americas, crusades, etc.) but they load normally. When I select medieval II: total war it loads for a second and I briefly see the campaign logo for whichever conquest campaign I chose to play and then it crashes.

Also might be good to note I have the steam version of kingdoms.

I'll look into as soon as I can get my HDD settled on it's place.

[Silencer10]

WOOHOO! I got it to work . I had to do something similar to what I had to do to get stainless steel to work.

1. There are 3 .exe files in the medieval ii total war folder (launcher.exe, kingdoms.exe, and medieval2.exe). I created a folder named "back up" and put the launcher.exe in there then renamed the kingdoms.exe to launcher.exe
2. Then under my games in the steam client I right-clicked kingdoms and went to properties and under the general tab I clicked set launch options
3. In set launch options I put in @mods\conquest\conquest.cfg, this bypasses the launcher
4. I then took the conquest.cfg file from the medieval ii total war folder and put in the conquest folder under mods
5. I then ran kingdoms from steam (not a shortcut on the desktop) and it went straight to the mod and loaded perfectly

I tried it,, and first it didn't work. But here it's gettig good, and then wierd:

From there I installed the 7zip program, and I could extract the files (even if it told me it couldn't). Yay! It turns out Winzip can't, even if Winzip could extract your files before 2.1.

Any way, then the wierd thing: I start the Conquest XP, select any of the a, b, c, d, e, etc., but the result is a black screen before I can even start off even the trailer. I click enter and it' goes back to windows desktop.

any clues?

The way I installed this:

1.6.exe
2.0.exe
2.1 (the file you just sendt me).

Each one is installed in the correct folder

Try turning the error log into a zip or rar. This will reduce the file size.

Alternatively you could upload it to http://www.mediafire.com/

Have you tried using the True Conquest.bat in the downloads section. It's designed to start the mod if the other bat files fail.

If that doesn't work can you upload an error log.

When I played the #4/1547/World Campaign as The Japanese (Ashikaga). I noticed that my priests were actually American Indian pagan priests.

Actually the priest unit is based on a Mongol priest. I don't have any monk strat models so I have to use this agent.

[kdub22]

Ah Ok. I didn't even know the Mongols had their own priest unit (other than the Imam in Vanilla M2TW, plus I never use priests when I play as Mongols). The only reason I thought it was an American Indian priest was becuase he used the same voice and talked about the Great Sun God and what not.
