question from newbie

[wancnet]

Hi guys,
i just downloaded and installed RTR,after a year playing SPQR and Roma Surrectum.
This mod really great and i spent a lot of time playing this mod.
I have a questions to ask here :

1) when i right-click on the Stables > Equites Roman Citizenship ,i got CTD.I do have reinstalled the clean mod again ,but the same CTD happen.

2) how do we turn on the 0-turn recruitment in RTR ?

Please help me.
Thanks

If you can't figure out how to do 0-turn recruitment option (which I have no idea where that is cuz I don't have this mod) you can do it yourself by going in to this folder:

C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\data\export_descr_unit

and change

stat_cost 1

to

stat_cost 0

so it goes from this:

type barb peasant briton
dictionary barb_peasant_briton ; Barbarian Peasants
category infantry
class light
voice_type Light_1
soldier barb_peasant, 60, 0, 0.7
attributes sea_faring, hide_improved_forest
formation 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 2.4, 6, horde
stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 1, 0, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, knife, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr no
stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 3, 1, 0, leather
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 2
stat_ground 2, -2, 3, 2
stat_mental 0, low, untrained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 1, 150, 100, 20, 30, 150
ownership britons

You will have to do that for every unit description in that file, or at least the faction or units you want instant recruitment on. I do it myself all the time. It's pretty easy once you get in to scripting mode. Hope that helped. Lol lott'a info, I know. =)

Welcome to the RTR forums, wancnet!

About the CTD, that's a vanilla bug that we can't fix.
The other question was answered appropriately by ruthless, thanks for doing so!

trying to view any unit via the building scroll causes a crash.

When you make the changes to your unit recruitment, make sure you delete the map.rwm file
dont worry, this file is regenerated but will include any changes you made. Make backup copies of files you change first.

Some changes may not be save game compatable so you may have to start a new campaign

Actually, I think that only happens if you have a building requirement for a unit.

No problem. Glad I helped. It does require a bit of patience but you will master it easy enough.

if you want to change something in maps like descr_stat, in a text-document, then you can just press Ctrl H.
Then you get a sort of sub-thing which you can use to search stat_cost 1 and command that every stat_cost 1 change in stat_cost 0, or 2 or 3. Just what you want. This go a lot faster then just schroll, look and change.
That take normally a lot of time.
