Where are the missing ancillaries?

Seems like a very cool mod! Weird i didn't notice it before now..

Although i have a problem.. I'm playing the campaign where the whole world is there etc, as the HRE.

I attacked Copenhagen and went with a battering ram to destroy their gate.. In the moment it was destroyed (when that cutscene plays) the game froze.. Nothing happens.. Not a "not responding" or anything.. The game just froze..

I guess this is the error log:

first of all: good job on such an excellent mod!

However I do experience a rather annoying bug that happens pritty much every turn.

Everytime I play new age or renaisance the game kicks me out after clicking on a unit to view their description. In general when I click to view the description nothing happens, but once every while the game kicks me. It does happen pritty much every turn tho. i kinda click to view the desc 5-10 times per turn.

I reinstalled med2 kingdoms (only teutonic) and installed the 2.1 version of Eras. I have no problems playing on the world campaign, other then the slow loading becaus eof the massive number of armies.

Edit: It just happened during my world campaign aswell. I think it has something to do with european factions, since I did not have any problems with japan, thailand and tibet. So far the factions where this problem appeared was Papal states and the Byzantium empire.

Here is the log:

I've created the missing ancillaries and attached them to this post. Hopefully this will fix the problem. To install this patch download the ui.rar, unpack it, and put the ui folder in the mods\conquest\data folder (default location 'C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\conquest\data').

Not why this happened. Battle crashes are hard to diagnose because the error log doesn't record what happens in a battle. I'll test it out and see if I can cause the crash.

I have the same problem with being kicked out after reading a description but haven't been able to determine why. It seems that some units, such as Feudal Knights, are more likely to cause a crash than others but the reason for this is unknown.

It might have been a one time thing, who knows..

[sportsman81]

Thanks @uanime5!
For now, it's working just fine.

These are the lines I get. Installed 1547. Didn't resolve the problem.

Solution?

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.

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.

Error log :

[sportsman81]

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

^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.

@Sivilombudsmannen

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?

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.

[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.

Have you tried using download manager to download the 2.0+2.1 version.

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

Alternatively you could download the 2.0 version that is in 3 parts, then download the 2.1 patch

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.

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.

[sportsman81]

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?
