Creating a general

[KSI Crusader 7x]

I created my own general, and i want his battle model to look like aragorn, idk if that is what caused the crash.

i am using gondor.

when i made him, i usually do make generals but never got this before.

[irishron]

Is Kynigos on the castline and on a water tile or on the side of a mountain?

[KSI Crusader 7x]

idk i put the coordinates right under another general

[Caesar Clivus]

Try putting him on a separate tile.

[KSI Crusader 7x]

no matter where i put him, it says it

[KSI Crusader 7x]

now i got this when i changed it

this is a screen shot of my descr_strat

[irishron]

Have you tried moving the settlement a tile in any direction?

[KSI Crusader 7x]

its not a settlement, its a group of generals i created that specialize with each type of unit, (infantry, archers, cavalry) and im trying to put them on the map. i usually can do it, idk why nots working now -___-

[irishron]

Okay, now I understand. The only times I ever ran into spotting a general or just an army unit were a water tile, a dense forest tile, or a tile on too steep a grade to where he would have trouble standing or moving.

[KSI Crusader 7x]

i have tried multiple spots -____- nothing i give up

[konny]

It shouldn't have anything to do with the tile. Usually errors in descr_strat will give you a proper report back, like the one above.

Have you tried to run the game with the battle_model entry? This would narrow it down a bit more.

[KSI Crusader 7x]

yea i tried removing the model and it did not work -___-

[konny]

Then it's something else. I am by 99% sure that the error is not in descr_strat. What else did you change before the problem appeared?

[KSI Crusader 7x]

just created a couple units but that never gave me a problem like this. and it is in the descr_strat because when i remove them it works -___-

[Gigantus]

Change your log to trace, run the game again. after that compress the log and upload here.
Wrong placement of characters will not cause the game to crash!

Edit: unless as stated in the next post, it is on a resource.

[KSI Crusader 7x]

ahhh i figured it out lol, there was a resource in one of the spots where a general was suppose to be -____- epic fail lol

[konny]

This is causing an errorless CTD?!?

wow, one has never learned enough!

[KSI Crusader 7x]

lol i know i just felt like a total noob right about now lol

[Gigantus]

How did the character get there in the first place?
