Creating a World - Bare Geomod

**Gigantus** · August 27, 2010, 10:25 PM

Glad you got it fixed. As a general tip, I would advise you to re-install Medieval 2 into a different directory (I use C:\Games) to avoid future problems with the virtual store. That is if you intend to do more modding. The time invested is worth it. Simply make a back up of your mods (move the mods folder somewhere else), uninstall M2TW, delete anything left of in the virtual store. Restart the computer to unload the old registry entries, install again - into a different directory. Move your mod(s) back into the correct folder of the game.

Again thanks Gigantus, I do not know what some people mean by saying "+rep" but If can do anything like that I wanna give you that. *lol*

Adding to reputation = rep
Meaning expressing your appreciation by clicking that little green button with the plus sign and leaving a note. Not sure if that feature works before you have 50 posts.

**Goodis** · August 28, 2010, 05:57 AM

Oh i see, thanks for providing the info =) Will be back after 50 posts

Gigantus, i would love to get started on a mod that i have been boiling over the last few months and happened to run by your easy to use mod mod...

yeah
in any case i have begun the instalation and noticed it defaults the instalation of this program to a specific place, and i dont want it to do that, any way i can change it

p.s. its mostly because i have multiple installs of m2tw and kingdoms

It's not possible it will go in the default directory where u have installed M2TW.

**Gigantus** · September 06, 2010, 12:14 AM

Simply move it after installation and adjust the link of the desktop icon.
The installation is done via a lookup of the registry entry of M2TW and I have disabled the directory entry because too many people were messing up the installation.
Default path: ...\Medieval II Total War\mods\Bare_Geomod

I'm having problems with laying siege to a castle in the Bare Geomod, when it's time to go into assaulting the city it loads the start of the battle then crashes.

**Gigantus** · September 19, 2010, 09:24 PM

1. Did you modify Bare Geomod?
2. Did you unpack your game?
3. If you unpacked, did you delete the two geography files?
4. Post your log (compress to reduce size)

I like many others am also having trouble, and would love to receive help on the subject. After opening the mod, it goes up to the splash screen then closes. Here is the log:

I remember you were trying to
map from scratch before (by hand) are trying to use bare geo mod in conjunction?

**Derpy Hooves** · November 02, 2010, 02:50 PM

Yes, I did that, but I made changes when I went over to Geomod. What I did was create a new folder, copy all of Geomod MTWII files into the folder. Afterwards I resized the maps in my Bare Kingdoms folder and placed them into the new folder (obviously deleting any map files that would not be needed.

**Gigantus** · November 02, 2010, 08:11 PM

You seem to have inherited an error in descr_sm_factions:

15:11:26.837 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/teutonic/data/descr_sm_factions.txt, at line 66, column 41
file: "descr_sm_factions.txt": m_horde_max_percent_army_stack should be in the range 0-100!

Either the numerical entry is incorrect or missing. (There is no horde faction a that position in Geomod's descr_sm_faction)

Edit: it also appears that you are modding in the 'teutonic' folder which is the original folder for one of the kingdoms campaigns - not a good idea as you might loose original files which you can only recover by re-installing (world folder).

- Install Bare Geomod
- replace BG files by your working mod's file
- Test before doing anything else
- make a complete backup of BG
- start modifying, testing often

**Derpy Hooves** · November 02, 2010, 10:39 PM

well i have to replace a mod folder as i use steam
Also before I do anything else, if I still want to use the material I have already on my mod, I should just copy and paste it into the Bare_Geomod folder, and when asked replace? The horde problem is there I think because I haven't finished editing the faction that starts out as a horde.

No you don't have to: Kingdoms Launcher Editing Application
Then we shouldn't be surprised that it doesn't work

Regarding the use of "Bare Geomod":

1. the files included are 'vanilla' with minor corrections to avoid the usual pitfalls (ragusa port bug, mongols winning) when one starts working with the Geomod tool.
2. you cannot expect Bare Geomod to work if your mod didn't work!
3. Copy your mod's files over the Bare Geomod files (replace when asked), there will always be files that Geomod uses but which your mod doesn't have.

**Derpy Hooves** · November 03, 2010, 11:29 AM

Well I did as you said. Then I eliminated the emergent faction that was also horde (for now). So now I tried testing it out. And I got this
12:17:34.444 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/teutonic/data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.txt, at line 44, column 5
can't setup slave faction as the default faction for this region, (england)
I looked at the designated line and column and nothing seemed out of place.

Now I already set up all the regions, factions (though I did not give them a family tree yet, except one of the factions). This could however be caused by the random population levels, which I am going to change. EDIT, I changed some of the regions to match the correct population level and still it happened, so that doesn't work. I'll just add the whole log:

And yes I already know about the teutonic thing, but I just couldn't get that program you suggested to create a registry file, but I hope that little thing didn't cause this mess. Sorry if I keep bugging you, I am just intent on getting this thing done.

**Gigantus** · November 03, 2010, 08:34 PM

1. The error is in descr_regions, the 3rd line of the individual entries. You have entered an invalid faction. Makes me think that you might have more then 31 factions in descr_sm_factions, thereby pushing the slave faction past the 31st slot. But the slave faction IS invalid anyhow there at the third line.
2. Please attach the log, that way it is easier to check via notepad's 'Search' - should the file be too big, simply compress it (3MB becomes 150KB)
3. I would suggest to open your own thread in the mapping forum because this is not a Bare Geomod problem and more people will notice it and give input.
4. Sorry that little program didn't work out. Did you post your problem about it in the original thread?

**Derpy Hooves** · November 03, 2010, 08:59 PM

No but I will, and I will start a new thread. Thanks for the help

**Gigantus** · November 03, 2010, 09:27 PM

One is glad to be of service

**shish** · December 07, 2010, 01:38 PM

Hey Gigantus

I just found Geomod and would like to use Bare_Geomod as the base of my personal mod. However I get a wrong disk inserted error when I try to start the game with executable.bat. I've never had this problem with a mod before.

Can I have something to do with me using the Gold version of the game?
