[RS 2.1a] Legion ancillaries

[chris10]

in DATA/UI/ANCILLARIES is only PRAETORIAN.tga
Where are other ?

true......just realized it now !
Drecie......where are the other ancillarys ? or does the game takes the images from the numbered legion battle banners ? that would explain it...
As I did not had a deep look into this myself Iam confused right now...

They were already in the game...
Yup...They're the legion banners...

Nice...That's great news...
I can't wait to try it out...

[chris10]

Its still CTD for Patavium. The turn the Roman Fortress is to be finished its CTD...when I cancel the building the turn goes thru-. Its definitely that Ancillary.

[drecie14]

That's weird...maybe It's another mistake with the internal settlement name...

No !........ I you........

an entire line is missing in the Ancillary entry in export_descr_ancillarys.txt

your entry looks like this:

;------------------------------------------
Ancillary Roman_XII_Legion
    Image ROMAN_XII_LEGION_ANCILLARY.tga
     ExcludeCultures barbarian, carthaginian, eastern, egyptian, greek
     Description Roman_XII_Legion_desc
    Effect Command 1
    Effect TroopMorale  1
    Effect Influence  2

but it has to look like this

;------------------------------------------
Ancillary Roman_XII_Legion
    Image ROMAN_XII_LEGION_ANCILLARY.tga
    ExcludeCultures barbarian, carthaginian, eastern, egyptian, greek
     Description Roman_XII_Legion_desc
    EffectsDescription Roman_XII_Legion_effects_desc
    Effect Command 1
    Effect TroopMorale  1
    Effect Influence  2

No surprise it goes CTD every time.
You did not re-check the Ancillarys with Squids Ancillary Validator because it is detecting this error and gives the right message....

Yeah I checked it again...It seems the export_descr_ancillaries in the 1.6 recommended folder was missing that line...
the other folder 1.6 alternative didn't have any errors...

Hello drecie and chris10...
So is this a bug in the mod???? can we use it without problems????
(im talking about the recommended version missing line you mention above)...or we can just add it and we'll be ok?????

[chris10]

Hello drecie and chris10...
So is this a bug in the mod???? can we use it without problems????

Iam afraid there is another bug in this ...
actually the entry for legio I in the export_ancillarys.txt located in the modfolder is incomplete while the one in the main data folder is ok...dont know if that goes CTD...
I have fixed it for my expansion but dont know if drecie fixed the entrys for this stand alone

Thanks for the very quick reply mate...
So whats your opinion??? i want to start a new campaign with Romans...the fix if we have CTDs will be save game compatible??? whats your guess???

or just with a backup of the original files i will be ok and dont destroy my campaign???
also if i start with or without this mod may i go otherway after????

well..good question......
if you look to start a new campaign with the Romans and you are experienced RTW player why not go for my enhanced Roman Campaign which includes the Ancillarys, Shieldwall for Numbered Legions and a fair bit of additional content...Spartacus Uprise, Barbarian or Eastern Insurrections, Bandits...etc.
just a suggestion though ...

nevertheless if you are not a very experienced player maybe you will do better with the normal Roman Campaigns first...

I upload you a fixed version of the Ancillays in case you wanna try out the normal Roman Campaigns first.

Hello chris10...
Thanks for your suggestion...I will definately try your submod as it looks very interesting and i always like challenges as i think i can handle them... (normal campaign is quite easy) congrats for your job also....
thanks for the fixed file too...you are a friend....

drecie14
Thanks for your anwer...i hope you'll find the time to check and update your submod which made RS more interesting...good luck with your projects also...

[drecie14]

@Greek strategos
In theory, If it is fixed, It might be save game compatible...

@chris
Thank you once again...
I've been busy with RL and a bunch of other projects...

[chris10]

@chris

no prob Drecie...had this fixed anyway (only the version with 1 Anc per city though)
maybe you update the dl accordingly

[drecie14]

@chris
The other version's fine...The 2 or 3 ancs per city...
I will update the download link

@Greek strategos
The Submod I made for TATW(MTW2) is almost finished anyway...
I'll be rechecking stuff from this submod soon...
Thanks for supporting this

EDIT: Uploaded the version 1.7 by Chris10

[♔Greek Strategos♔]

You deserve support as you try to improve such a great mod like RS....
Cheers +rep from me...

Hi,

i delayed the reform by delaying imperial palace construction in Akragas till i conquer Gaul - still fighting with polybian legions and triaries+merc+aux, no other roman troops available - but in some italian cities my governors already aquired legion commander ancillaries... really weird. Could you explain this?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

my first impulse says : Impossible...but then...strange things happen from time to time...
normally the ancillarys appearance is bound to the existence of the Roman Fortress or the Curia Hostilia...so Iam really curious how they could be triggered without these buildings

Can you post sceen with the generals showing the ancillary and a screen where we can see the level of barracks in the affected citys and especially it is important to know which citys we talking about.

My ancillarys are working just fine and popped up the moment I constructed the Roman Fortress

This is not save-game compatible right?
