The character record Beatrice is neither married, nor has a father. This could mess up the family tree. She needs to be defined as a relative

The character record is neither married, nor has a father and will be ommited from the game. She needs to be defined as a relative

You can find below the files contained datas about names + descr_strat. i've checked the positions of charakter on the map and all is ok. So, i have no idea what it wants from me . Mayby sombady can find something, what i've missed.

firstly, think about procedure
try & get the faction itself in game & working first
then you add unique characters & individual traits & ancillaries
good luck!

[attyla]

is there a possibility of adding faction without characters (king and kings family)?

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

yes all the faction requires is one random general & a region

[Ishan]

Just put one character in it and that will become your faction leader and on next turn adopt the random general offered and that will be the prince.
And you need to fix your family tree the relative section etc to make it work.

For in depth and complete knowledge read Advanced Family Tree Guide
And fix the error.

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

Ishan is right but make sure the faction itself is in game & working first

[attyla]

you were right.
i've added Armenia ones again, but without all kings familly and the game working properly.
So i think i must take care the kings family

Thanx for your help

One more question:
I've discovered, thad the marchant has wrong icon. It looks like general Where is the merchant's icons? Not in model_strat folder?

[Ishan]

Post a screenshot for the merchant as i'm not sure what you are talking about.

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

c:\program files\medievalII\mods\dlv\data\ui they are in the different culture folders under portraits
explore there
good luck!

[attyla]

i found merchants icon, but when i added it to UI/units and ui/unit_info folders the game gives me black screen only :o . what's going on?

here you have screenshots. First shows, that i have merchants icon on the battlemap, but when i'll open buildinsg queue, i can see generals icon only:

i don't know why my pictures were not uploaded... i cant't uploaded it...

[irishron]

Load them as .jpg.

[attyla]

uhhhh. My fault....

[Ishan]

It's portrait is not in its right place thats why you get that soldier. Generally i see that portrairt when ancs pics are not present.

[attyla]

So where should i place those icons if ui/units and ui/unit_info are wrong places?
