RTW: CTD at faction selection

[HolyDevil]

Well im one of those who want to play with the "non" playable factions, so i did the same with unlockable ones (in descr_strat)

Problem is, every faction from unplayable, when i select them, i get ctd, EXCEPT for macedon, wich is wierd, all others, when i select them, i get a ctd, they worked for me like 3 years ago or somethin, but now i installed again, and they don't work

The first thing I'd do is make sure it's in it's proper place in the Decr_strat

When you unlocked them, did you delete the map.rwm and start a new campaign?

[HolyDevil]

Problem is, i installed it, and unlocked them, didn't start any campaing, so no map.rwm SHOULD had formed...

And im syaing, that WHen i simply select their faction icon at imperial campaing, i get ctd..


And im sure its correctly done (i even looked at med2 to be sure)

[irishron]

Only three things that can keep it from starting a campaign are not deleting the map.rwm, editing format is wrong, or a bad install to begin with.

I had this problem once i just unistalled + reinstalled tried it again and it worked fine
Also you might have made an error so you could instead try downloading http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=1013

What is your version?


I have the same problem, I have Rome: Total War Anthology.

If I modify the descr_strat and copy non-playables to playable, it crashes at selection. Every time.
If I copy from non-playable to unlockable, it works.
I couldn't find a way to fix this, but if you copy to unlockable AND complete a short roman campaign, it will work. (If you have Anthology that is)

[HolyDevil]

No i have all separate, i bought them when they came out, but i'll add in that all factions mod, and complete a roman campaing, cuze i do remember that the very first time i knew i could play unlockable factions was after i completed the main campaing

Have you tried :

campaign        imperial_campaign
options bi
playable
    romans_julii
    egypt
    seleucid
    carthage
    parthia
    gauls
    germans
    britons
    greek_cities
    macedon
    pontus
    armenia
    dacia
    numidia
    scythia
    spain
    thrace
    romans_brutii
    romans_scipii
end
unlockable
      
end
nonplayable
        slave
        romans_senate
end 

This is my descr_strat ( except that Scipii and Brutii are in the non-playable string ) and I can play with any factions except Scipii , Brutii, Senate and Rebels .

Also , you should remember a few things , as posted on rtw.heavengames :

There are three other things you have to keep in mind. First, the faction selection screen can only display 20 factions, so you'll have to leave another faction in the unplayable section if you want the Rebels (Slave) to be available. Secondly, when playing as the Senate the game will crash if you look at the "Senate" tab in the faction scroll. Third and last, the Rebels were never meant to be played and it is possible that you will get random crashes if you're playing them.
