Bug reports for Meneth's Sub-mod Compilation (MSC)

[bɑne]

Savage AI
Istanople
Live Long And Prosper
Next Heir Crown
Using newest MSC
HRE (but it happens on all campaigns)
CTD on turn 5 Papal States, i noticed that Mongol Horde and MH+LLP reappered in SS_setup after newest compilation update, though i only have enabled stuff i listed

Era?

[Meneth]

Guessing that's the TwoLate campaign. Specify that the next time. Solving people's problems without knowing what campaign they're playing isn't easy.
MH shouldn't show up. The files are no longer in the installer, and the installer is set to delete all MH files. Are you sure you haven't installed some other version of MSC?

Ascertain this:

• UAC is off
• The SS6.3 folder isn't set to read-only
• 6.3 is installed somewhere else than Program Files

[Medkirtys]

Well, i stated this problem earlier, and already said, im administrator, so these don't count. And that's late campaign

[Meneth]

All those three can still be issues, even if one has admin rights.

[Medkirtys]

Well um, i think the problem might be, that i didn't notice the patch thing, i installed base install and thought of it as upgrade
EDIT: Ok, disabled read-only, installed base install, patch, then start up SS_setup, pc throws 2 errors with chinese symbols (i don't use chinese language, so that's out of random) but then launcher works fine, will have to check out how game plays
EDIT2: Game seems not to start after SS setup configuration, but seems that was intentional by Meneth, bug seems to have disapeard

The download file had an unusually long name and it just has a ".file" extension I can't use that and I don't have a previous version but I know how it's supposed to be

I'll try to get gracul to make a button to start the game. Hope everything will work properly now.

Select the file
Hit F2
Add .exe at the end
Run the file

Thank you so much

I downloaded the submod copendium and patch. all of a sudden the SS setup is saying that core files are missing.

[Meneth]

Have you installed the patch? If not, do so.
If you have, try deleting all the text files in your SS6.3\data\campaign\sub folder, then installing MSC+the patch again.

when is the CTD happening (turn number, who's turn, which era)
The CTD occurs right after I select a country in the faction selector, and then while its loading, it CTD's

which additional setup features did you install (your campaign options like AI etc)
I was in Early Campaign, with the following features:
Savage AI
Istanople
Byg's Grim Reality IV (I tried it without it the next time, but the same problem occured)
Permanent Arrows
Next Heir Crown
Live Long and Prosper

attach your zipped/rared system.log (can be found in start menu -> stainless steel -> error log)
Attached

attach your campaign script (found in SS6.3\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign)
Attached

If there is ANYTHING else you would like to know, please tell me, and I'll provide the information!
It is interesting to note though, that although I cannot start a new game, I can load a previous game of mine; a previous English game, and play with it, it just stops me after the faction selector...


Also I will of course give +rep to anyone who can solve this problem

[machotacoman]

Have you installed the patch? If not, do so.
If you have, try deleting all the text files in your SS6.3\data\campaign\sub folder, then installing MSC+the patch again.

It's still saying it

[Tan Zhi Han]

My game is also not letting me use the ss setup anymore.

[Missing campaign or game core files] - I ain't missing nothin...

[Meneth]

Does your campaign folders have "campaign.txt" files in them? If not, that's what causing it.
Do you have any non-default and non-MSC sub-mod? If so, that's what causing it.

[Tan Zhi Han]

I have the campaign.txt files. No non-msc sub-mods. Everything is clean install. (I reinstalled for the new 4.0.5, but it gave me the same error - it hasn't worked for me since 4.0, or since the new SSM)

[Meneth]

Is UAC enabled? If so disable it.
Make sure nothing is read-only.
Make sure SS is somewhere other than Program Files.
Try running the SMM as admin.

[Tan Zhi Han]

I've tried all those things... Hmm. I have 37 sub-mod folders. What else should be in data\campaign?

[Meneth]

Is 37 including all the text files? If so, that's the correct number.
If not, something is seriously messed up.

[Tan Zhi Han]

Err. I mean in the sub-mod folder data/campaign/sub there are 37 including the text files yes. Everything is clean install and it seems right... Keeps giving me the game core error. Is there a way we can return a debug message that contains the reason for the error?

[Meneth]

Not at the moment, no.
Try checking each of the text files. Each of them should say [name] then some text at the top. Delete any that don't.
