The above errors are related to your descr_strat.txt file. Go to the mentioned line for each error to fix them (or you can fix the error in geomod).

Make sure your settlements are on the ground tiles (not water), there are no rivers crossing the settlement and the settlement isnt placed on the same spot of high mountians or dense forrests.

If your using geomod you can use geomods debugger which will find these errors for you.

------

The above errors are related to your descr_strat.txt file. Go to the mentioned line for each error to fix them (or you can fix the error in geomod).

These errors are saying that the core building (the castle/settlement wall) dosnt match the settlement level type.

The levels are village, town, large_town, city, large_city, huge_city. They each have a limit on the population size and also use their own settlemet core building. The core building needs to match the settlement level. You can find more info on this in tutorials or you can refure back to a working mod and check the cordinated core_buildng to settlement levels.

If your using geomod you can use geomods debugger which will find these errors for you.

These errors are in your exprot_descr_advice.txt file. Not sure exactly whats wrong as the error log hasnt told me much about it. But I would as normal go to the mentioned lines, find and fix the errors.

These errors could be related to the:
export_descr_buildings.txt file
export_descr_buildings_enums.txt file
export_buildings.txt.strings file.

and more.

Code:

23:06:47.421 [script.err] [error] Script Error in data/export_descr_ancillaries.txt, at line 3176, column 43

------

These errors are in your export_descr_ancillaries.txt file. My guess is these errors are a result of you changing the names of some structures in another file. But you didnt change the names in the export_descr_ancillaries.txt file. As a result the game is trying to find these structures in the building database but cannot find them because they are renamed (ie: no longer exist). Thats just my guess.

These errors could be related to the:
export_descr_buildings.txt file
export_descr_buildings_enums.txt file
export_buildings.txt.strings file.

and more.

Code:

------

These errors are in your export_character_traits.txt file. Not sure how to fix these but its related to your character traits. I'd check them out.

Those errors could be related to the:
export_descr_buildings.txt file
export_descr_buildings_enums.txt file
export_buildings.txt.strings file.

and more.

-----------
And thats all the errors I found thank god.
So many errors, I've never seen so many in one log. Fortunatly it seems you can trace the errors from where they came from, which means you can fix them with little hassle.

I demand rep

**Gigantus** · October 16, 2010, 03:55 AM

And you still overlooked this one:
-------------

Could'n find level name description string for trait(PriestLevel) level(Patriarch).
23:06:47.218 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/Bare_Kingdoms/data/export_descr_character_traits.txt, at line 7399, column 21

Could'n find effect description string for trait(PriestLevel) level(Patriarch_effects_desc).

Seems there are no entries for a newly created trait in data\text\export_vnvs - not critical
-------------
These errors relate to buildings that were previously in the EDB and are referenced in descr_advice or other files (traits, ancillaries):

Plug-in/Building level name catapult_range not found in building database

- not critical
--------------
I am puzzled that the log cuts off without the generic error message, but fixing the existing errors might help.

**attyla** · October 16, 2010, 04:00 AM

what's rep?

It's no matter of this errors (i've already knew them).
I don't know, but all of my troubles were finished when i've changed trace to error in my *.cfg file

I'm copletly astounded.

**Gigantus** · October 16, 2010, 04:23 AM

Rep = Reputation, it's the little green button with the white cross.
You press it if you feel that a post needs some acknowledgement. It will then add to the reputation amount of the member (the symbols under the post count)

Trace\Error = the amount of reporting is reduced when the log is set to error instead of trace, but the actual errors will be the same. Trace makes it possible to pin down easier how an error has been created.

**attyla** · October 16, 2010, 04:46 AM

Paradigm
As you wish

Gigantus
Thanx for your explanation about this "rep"

I knew what means trace and error in *.cfg but i didn't know that it can influence for starting the game.

**Gigantus** · October 16, 2010, 04:49 AM

I knew what means trace and error in *.cfg but i didn't know that it can influence for starting the game.

It cannot influence the start of the game (unless there is something already seriously wrong in the CFG file to start with)

**attyla** · October 16, 2010, 12:29 PM

I've tryed to erase errors connectet with names of provinces Ciechanów (Ciech_Prowince), Kraków (Cracow_Province) and Lyon (Lyon_Province) again but i can't find what could be wrong.
May i ask you for a help? Maybe you can see sometthing i've missed.

It comes from log file:

**IZob** · October 17, 2010, 12:58 AM

Attyla do you have Geomod? I highly reccomend trying out this mapping tool because it'll help you fix these errors alot faster and easier.

For those errors above the settlements are on invalid tiles. That means the settlement is on a impassiable ground type, or the settlement is in a place it shouldnt be, for example:

- settlements cannot be placed on water tiles (make sure the surrounding tiles and undernieth tiles have a hight of 1 or higher). See your map_heights.tga file. "Hight 1" = "RGB 111". (RGB = red, green, blue. If RGB are the same numbers the color will be black). You will need Geomod or a paint program to find out the RGB values of the map_heights.tga map to make sure your settlement is being placed on land (its obviuos settlements dont go on water).
- settlements cannot be adjacent to the region border. Settlements need to be atleast 1 pixle or more away from the region border. See your map_regions.tga file.
- settlements cannot be ontop of rivers (blue), springs(white), crossings(green), fords(light blue) or volcannos(red). See your map_features.tga file.
- Its not a good idea to completly surround settlements by rivers.
- settlements cannot be placed over resources. See your descr_strat.txt file.
- make sure your settlements are on passiable ground types:

Code:

 Ground types
impassiable ground types are in bold 
 
map_ground_types.tga file.
- This is where you set the textures for your campaign map (i.e. Fertile, desert etc). There are 14 different ground types defined using different RGB values. 
 
The ground types and RGB values are:
Fertile Low - Cyan ............... RGB (0, 128, 128)
Fertile Medium - Green ........... RGB (96, 160, 64)
Fertile High - Olive ............. RGB (101, 124, 0)
Wilderness - Black ............... RGB (0, 0, 0)
Mountains High - Pink ............ RGB (196, 128, 128)
Mountains Low - Dark Brown ....... RGB (98, 65, 65)
Hills - Olive-Brown .............. RGB (128, 128, 64)
Forest Dense - Dark Green ........ RGB (0, 64, 0)
Forest Sparse - Green ............ RGB (0, 128, 0)
Swamp - Bright Green ............. RGB (0, 255, 128)
Ocean - Dark Maroon .............. RGB (64, 0, 0)
Sea Deep - Dark Red .............. RGB (128, 0, 0)
Sea Shallow - Red ................ RGB (196, 0, 0)
Beach - White .................... RGB (0, 0, 0)
Impassable wilderness - Grey ..... RGB (64, 64, 64)

**Gigantus** · October 17, 2010, 01:15 AM

You have chosen an invalid tile(306, 269) for the settlement of Ciechanów.

As long as you get a valid coordinate, the problem should only be the map_ground_type texture. If the coordinates are a double zero, then the height is less then RGB value 1,1,1 = 0,0,0

**attyla** · October 17, 2010, 01:51 AM

Paradigm
I'll have got it if you'll give me a functional link

Gigantus
i don't get you. Where are those coorinates? I cannot find it.

**Gigantus** · October 17, 2010, 02:31 AM

According to the error log you are using Bare Geomod. I wrote that mini mod for easy use with the Geomod tool.
My suggestion: download the Geomod Tool and my manual for it - then familiarize yourself with it. Trying to figure out where certain co-ordinates are the old way is a convoluted affair.
