Probably this causes the crash. Try instead change all the relative dates to proper ones, if you know how to mess with the script file, or just play till the date they are set to emerge originally.

Also, try to put the original dates back, and see if it still crashes.

Hi first i would like to say good work , especially with impementing the flemish , im proud to fight for once with my own country.

After te first turns playing with flanders the paintings on the bottom left of the screen , start to mix up for some reason with a photo of a dock ,a photo of a general and a couple of other things that dont belong there .

Last keep up the good work and try to give the game some extra units please

[Emperor of The Great Unknown]

stuff like generals and units in the UI are common in mods.

[theStig]

Yeah, god knows how it happens ... though I have an idea, but no idea how to solve it

[Emperor of The Great Unknown]

the best way to get rid of bugs is to make sure all your coding was done right and by the book. use the vinilla files as a template and the ;comments should be removed if you want to fix some bugs. Of corse this could also mean recoding.

Hey there! New to this mod so I downloaded the 0.9 version, and I've gotta say it looks very interesting. However, when I played a few custom battles, the battles were extremely laggy. My computer can usually run Medieval II on medium-high but even on the lowest settings the battles are still laggy. Is this a problem with the current version or my computer and the way I installed it?

[=NF= Vasileios_the2nd]

Nothing similar has been reported..

Well crap. I'll reinstall and try again

I find that, as this mod, for some reason unknown to me, keeps resetting settings, that battles become cumbersome because I have full grass, full bloom, full shadows, full everything. I have to remember to set all things so that my comp can work the game, every time I start the game.

I know that this is very annoying, and at some point we will have a look at this and find out why this happens.

Remove the settings from the mod's cfg file is my guess. They override the settings in the default cfg file in the root of med2. That is, if the game installs into a mod folder. I haven't downloaded the mod or played it, so forgive me for being presumptious.

[=NF= Vasileios_the2nd]

Hey Gigantus, nice to see you around!
You mean we should remove any setting that already exists in the original M2's preferences file too?

[Gigantus]

If your mod is in a mod folder it will have its own cfg file.
The settings in this file will override the settings in the medieval2.settings.cfg file
The settings in the medieval2.settings.cfg file change when you change your options. (Which does not have an effect in the next game if the mod cfg file overrides it)
The only settings in a cfg file should be like this:

blue - hotseat entries
green = puts the log in a seperate folder and in trace mode - easier to find and more detailed
red, line one = setting for vista users and multiple log on accounts
red , line two = enables re-inforcements all the time (beware your computer specs!)
black = essential

[features]
mod = mods/your_mod_name

[log]
to = logs/M2TW.system.log.txt
level = * trace

[io]
file_first = true

[misc]
bypass_to_strategy_save = 1

[game]
allusers = 1
unlimited_men_on_battlefield = 1

[multiplayer]
playable = false
## faction mask for setting default starting factions in hotseat campaign
factions = 1 #1 = england, 2 = france, 4 = hre, 3 = england+france, etc

[hotseat]
scroll = false ## disable start turn scroll in hotseat campaign
turns = false ## disable forced separate human faction turns (including diplomacy) in hotseat campaign
disable_console = false ## enable cheat console in hotseat campaign.
admin_password = password ## specify password for administrator access to the dev console when console disabled. Change 'password' to a suitable password
update_ai_camera = true ## enable camera updates during ai turn in hotseat campaign
disable_papal_elections = false ## enable voting in papal elections in hotseat campaign (only first valid human faction votes)
autoresolve_battles = false ## disable forced autoresolve all battles in hotseat campaign
validate_diplomacy = false ## disable diplomacy validation for incoming propositions
save_prefs = true ## disable forced relevant hotseat options to be saved with game.
autosave = true ## autosave hotseat game at start of players turn
save_config = true ## save config file in save dir containing information about next players turn
close_after_save = false ## close medieval II directly after a hotseat autosave
gamename = hotseat_gamename ## sub directory name for hotseat save games
validate_data = true ## ensure game data files used in previous save match current campaign data files.
allow_validation_failures = false ## prevent game to load if savegame or data validations fail

That is very useful, gigantus!

One is glad to be of service

[Gigantus]

Here's what happens: I get my army together and confront the rebels, then choose to fight the battle. As soon as the battle finishes loading, my computer reboots - it doesn't even SHUT DOWN or anything. It just starts from the boot/loading screen (where it tells you the BIOS and such).

That sounds extremely like the "unpack bug" - check if these two geography files are in the data folder of the mod or the main game:

data\descr_geography_new.txt
data\descr_geography_new.db

If so, delete.

[theStig]

I believe the reason the video settings are in the cfg file is because I once put them in

[Gigantus]

I should have been more specific:

The only settings in a cfg file should be like this:

unless required by the mod to function properly

For instance TATW switches off the settlement banners for their mod

[Aeros889]

As HRE, I trained an assassin with no name o.0 any idea how it happened?

[Gigantus]

That doesn't happen too often. Might come handy = "No name the Assassin, feared by everyone".

[Aeros889]

Lol like the idea of that. I can't get any data of it because I sent him on a mission and he died farewell No Name.
