Does anyone want to help me create a new faction purely for personal reasons?

[prekabreki]

Well hello there, these past days I've been trying to add a faction to TATW, just for me and my friend for some hotseating and kick-ass fan fiction discussions.

So I've followed a few guides, everything seems to be in order. But I still get a CTD when I start any campaign. All the log says is

09:14:11.327 [game.script.trigger] [trace] Trigger <factionleader> fired
09:14:11.340 [game.script.trigger] [trace] Trigger <becomesheir> fired
09:14:11.343 [game.script.trigger] [trace] Trigger <factionleader> fired
09:14:11.345 [game.script.trigger] [trace] Trigger <becomesheir> fired
09:14:11.659 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

I've gone over everything numerous times but cant seem to find the error.

Now if anyone is well versed in faction creation can whip up my faction or tell me what's wrong, well that would be awesome.

The faction is called Éonim and my this is the faction symbol.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I was gonna make the capital in Lond Angren.

Now I have all the texture files and stuff, all I need some help with all the text files.
I just copied everything from Rohan, still didn't work. Basically I tried to make a clone of Rohan but call it Éonim. If someone is laughing out loud saying and thinking to himself that it's a piece of cake to do that; then please help.

Come on, it's not as if he's asking for someone to make a whole bunch of new units, all he needs is some text help

I can't give you actual help prekabreki (sorry), but you could try posting this in the M2TW workshop, see if anyone there can help you

For which parts do you need help exactly only texts like Tyrtaeus said?

[♔Sherlock♔]

He said that he was just going to use rohans units, and he wasn't changing the map so yes, I guess it is just text

[FOR GONDOR]

In that case sorry theny apologize and I hope you have hooks luck

Are you trying to create a faction from scratch or use a faction slot that hasn't been used, like portugal or hungary?

[prekabreki]

Basically what I wanted to do was create a faction that held Talsir, Lond Daer, and Lond Angren.

Called Éonim with both Gondor and Rohan units. No idea if that's possible but that was the idea.
I got beyond the CTD and am sort of making progress. Totally making more badass banners

[FabianScarus]

Basically you just want to make a new fraction using another fraction's units, models ect.?

[prekabreki]

yup, cant seem to do it without crashes though.

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Are you experiencing crashes in just the campaign, or for the enitre map. If you are having issues with the model.db and the EDU, I can help you

[prekabreki]

Well whenever I try to start a new campaign the game crashes.
And yes those are exactly the files I was having problems with.
I had no idea how to work the battle_models.modeldb so all my soldiers are "silver surfers" in custom battle. Could that cause a campaign crash?

I attached the EDU to this post, all I did was all the new faction right behind rohan.
Works in custom battle at least...

[The Holy Pilgrim]

That's because there are no factions called eonim. That would require you to start from scratch. I recommend you use a faction that isn't taken in 2.0. Here's the list of the available factions:

-normans
-saxons
-denmark
-teutonic_order
-poland
-russia
-aztecs
-portugal
-hungary

Try using one of those instead. Rename all of your eonim lines to one of those. Once you do that, try starting a new campaign.

I can also help you with renaming the faction, you just have to tell me which one you choose. I can get the textures to work for you too.

no offense good friend, but Portugal was used for the Gundabad Orcs!

[prekabreki]

At first I started from scratch, did a lot of work. created eonim and such. Crashes. So I go with the other option.
So I use the saxons. Game doesnt crash, but of course everything looks weird. The general model is from vanilla MTW2 and all the flags and stuff are saxon.
So I tried to mess with some banners and stuff. Not really doing well.


It's a start at least...

But at least the descr_strat file works!

So you can help me with textures and stuff?

[The Holy Pilgrim]

I'll be glad to help you! It looks like you are a 2D artist. Did you make those flags and banners? If so, I may need your help in return. I need you to send me all of your files that you have been editing so that way I can see if what I'm doing works

The model.db is one of the toughest files to mess with since one little error can cause the whole mod to crash, so I defenitely wouldn't mind helping you out. That strat model is an easy fix and can be replaced by a model already in game. And if you are a 2D artist, I'm sure skinning your own models won't be too hard.

I'll be happy to help with any banners, always a hoot.

Now I've attached both the from scratch version, which would be awesome to get working simply because of all the work I put in. But I don't see that happening though...

I followed this tutorial with the saxons:

This one from scratch:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=225194


Now the saxon version works, but as you saw on the screenshot the faction looks quite weird...

If you could give the files a quick glance that would very much appreciated.

[The Holy Pilgrim]

Thanks for telling me. I forgot about that. He chose the saxons anyways, so we're all good
