**Ardashir 7** · October 18, 2010, 10:29 AM

hi all
i ve dowloaded (b.c 2.02 version) and updated with (black islam 1.0 mod)
then i ve edited the (descr export_units) with moving some unites from (makuria,oman,sindh and ghorids) to (abbasid caliphate) and they are (abbysians champions,ansar warriors,sindh medium cavalry and dismounted jihad warriors).
then the (export_buildings) with replacing the factions names (makuria,oman,sindh and ghorids) to abbasid.
and editing the (info text) and the (descr_strat) text with making the campaign strat from 1187 to 1900
,changing dinnaris for every faction
also adding the units info cards.
after that i ve started the game
everything has gone well till i ve pressed end turn in 1204 turn,the game crashed
then i ve played from the last save game and the game crashed again but in 1206.
i hope someone could help me in this
much appreciated

Load a save from 1200-1202 and play without saving until Crusaders attacking Constantinople will be defeated or will take the city.

Hmm this is something I'm going through too. the CTDs/well *freeze screens* are happening at time of the crusades. The only files modded in MTWII are the preferences unlocked factions etc.

Details over here.

I'll try and play through until the Crusades are over.

Thanks for this thread.

Hmm, could you post BC system.log entries?

And I'm moving this to the Tech Forum.

and the system log
i do want to fight the mongols...

appreciated

This is what you get in the log file:

09:23:42.093 [system.io] [warning] open: data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/map.wfc is missing
09:23:42.203 [script.err] [error] Script Error in data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.txt, at line 1014, column 1
Couldn't find region name 'Mecca_Province' in stringtable
09:23:50.453 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

I'm not sure whether this is the source of the CTD, but very likely it is.

If you have modified the files wrongly, it may cause more problems in the future. Each time you modify a game you need to note down which changes have you made and how to revert them. I suggest to install clear BC2.02 and then, if you want to mod it, modify it cautiously.

well i ve found a saved game in 1201 turn and i ve pressed end turn till 1208 then everything worked fine till turn 1214 and again i ve played from 1212 and pressed end turn till 1216,and at last the game crashed in 1222 and i ve failed to make it work again.

thanks mate.

I think the second CTD is related to Mongolian invasion. In that case before Mongols conquer Samarqand and Bukhara your savegames will be corrupted. What you can do is not to save as long as these two cities aren't conquered.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to check your files... And I don't have karaislam's second patch, either...
