Tried to mod settlements / generals - isn't working!

[Sétanta]

so i am trying to make a likkle bitty mod for myself. the first time i got it i did all the things at once and got a CTD. i uninstalled BI and tried again with a fresh copy. CTD again now i am like :sign_wtf:. i am no noob to modding (i think) but still it dont work
maybe one of the all powerful skilled people can tell me what to do.

• move the celts to the region owned by the alemanni and rename the "Genovians"
• move the alemanni to the regions owned by the celts and rename the "Picts"
• make the new Genovians 100% christian
• make the Genovians victory goals to own 20 provinces and arles, massila and agusta trevorum
• Give the genovians all the frankish units, burgundian lancers, and comintanses (stupid latin)

i feel like a noob maybe you should take away all 900 posts of mine and let me start at zero again (dont even think about it mr. moderator)

i suppose that this should go in the help sub-forum but i am just so special that i decided to put it here because you all know i am leet :original:

did you rename the clets in the descr_stat file you can't do that you just have to change the names in an other file and forget which one

and you should make a back up of your BI\data folder also you should use the show_err command line , to help find and fix your problems

why dont you leave the alemanni in their current region and rename them the genovians and leave the celts in their own region and rename them the picts? I am just curious as to why you would make so much work for yourself

because i am stupid and want some practice at more "major" modding. not that this is huge or anything.

Do it in little steps and keep testing each step to make sure you have doen it correctly. Thats the easiest way and definitely use the -show_err command. Not all messages will show but it will help.

No idea whether you got your CTD when loading the mod or even just loading up BE in the first place.
