Unspecified error in New_Faction

**ModderN00b** · October 02, 2010, 05:32 AM

I just completed Creating a World - Adding a new faction tutorial by Gigantus (+rep). I launched the mod, started playing as Ottomans but I got error message before I got in the game:

"This is bad. Don't know why but I have to exit. Sorry, pal."

Is there any way to specify error so I can fix it? I don't wanna redo whole tutorial.

Yes as swagger mentioned give us the last 5 lines or submit here the entire log so that we can see what the problem is

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

EDIT: It seems, there's same error for any faction I try to play.

Ok the error is in your export_descr_buildings.txt file and a resource on your map is placed on a invalid tile.
So fix them plz.
The units mentioned in the log for ottomans so make sure u have the ownership of the units in the export_descr_unit.txt file.
And the resource is timber placed at 199,57 coordinates so move it left right etc on the tile that is vaild.

Example: 16:13:35.484 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/New_Faction/data/export_descr_buildings.txt, at line 282, column 97
unit(Sipahis) does not match up to the ownership for faction(ottomans)
.
The Sipahis in blue have to be give ownership in the export_descr_unit.txt to ottomans in red.

It has to be done for each error line or you will ctd in battles.

I'm sure the units in ex file are defined properly. Example:

recruit_pool "ME Town Militia" 1 0.2 2 0 requires factions { moors, turks, ottomans, mongols, timurids, }

Everything is done this way.

Edit: I fixed the timber.

I know you EDB is fine but the error is match up that is check this ownership in EDU as well. Read my or Sir Ron's previous post again.

**ModderN00b** · October 02, 2010, 10:46 AM

I fixed EDB and EDU but now I get this log:

This log really means "Sorry Pal".

Set the log to *trace in your mod's .cfg file and post again.

This thing happens when u try to mod fast and a lot of things at once.

Place the faction, start putting units one by one by first confirming then in custom battle and their upgrades as well. That's the way it works and even though i'm experienced in this but i still double check and work in steps.
