System.log showing Missing files that are actually there

**Praetorian1** · January 22, 2011, 11:06 PM

I'm confused, i just checked my system.log file of Broken Crescent2.02 mod & although the files that its saying are 'missing' i'v checked & they'r there... & these script error things? what is this? can someone help me out??

I'm playing fine so far but i'm really confused since i'm new to the system.log file..

this isn't all the text in the log file but just some from the top & bottom of it:

This is really wierd, even my system.log file of vanilla M2TW has the same missing stuff & script erros

is this normal?? i hardly think so...

1. Please spoiler long code like that (the exclamation mark in advanced mode)
2. some it is actually missing: data/menu/text_border.tga.dds - that is due to the fact that the game first looks for the dds version and then for the tga one.
3. As long as it says [warning] you are clear. A complete other matter is a line with [error] - that needs fixing as it might lead to crashes (if it hasn't already) Example:

05:46:51.234 [script.err] [error] Script Error in broken_crescent/data/export_descr_buildings.txt, at line 52, column 287
unit(aor trans nobles) does not match up to the ownership for faction(aztecs)

Tnkx for the reply

sorry about the long code, but since i'm kind of noob to forums i had no idea how the spoiler thing can be done unill i read your reply, half of those options near the exclamation mark i never used & never checked what they'r for...

It says all the error codes are from the EDB, the only thing i ever done in BC's edb was replacing all 'koj sergeant crossbowmen' with 'jerusalem longbowmen' just by pasting the unit name instead of the other between the brackets & i have been recruiting jerusalem longbowmen instead of the unwanted koj sergeant crossbowmen ever since now without probs, but the units mentioned in the code saying 'error' & 'doesn't match' which are 'aor trans nobles, aor armenian axmen & evy md crossbowmen', i never even touched them nor any other unit except those 2. Do u think the errors has something to do with the replacing 1 unit with the other?? even tho they'r not the same unit names? how can it be fixed??

**Praetorian1** · January 23, 2011, 05:29 AM

ok tnkx alot

i'll check it out asap...

**Praetorian1** · January 23, 2011, 06:16 AM

Great, started by checking the 1st of the 3 units, the 'aor armenian axemen' in the EDB & EDU & already found that evry aor armenian axemen's factions line codes in the EDB have some 16 & some 17 factions & the same unit in the EDU ownership (not the one 'custom' above) has only 3

So, even tho i never EVER touched this unit in any way, could the game create this error on its own? or created by some other modding i done?? even tho i didn't touch them.. or it might by any chance skipped the modders attention??

Check it out..

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

the one on top 'custom' has mongols in the ownership which in all the line codes of aor armenian axemen in the EDB there is no mongols.. in the EDB in all aor armenian axemen's line codes some has 16 factions & some 17, is that normal for a unit in the EDB to have 16 & 17 instead of all 17 or all 16??
& should i remove mongols from the one 'custom' above ??? sry for asking so many questions but this is getting pretty wierd..

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Poland is missing in the one below

i'm gonna copy the unit's 17 factions in the EDB & paste them in the EDU unit's ownership

, should i make all aor armenian axemen faction code the same 17 factions in the EDB?? or should i leave them like that??

Tnkx for the help btw

**Gigantus** · January 23, 2011, 05:09 AM

The errors are probably left overs from the previous modding.
The error is caused when a unit is recuitable in the EDB by a faction, but this faction is not entered in the ownership line of that unit in the EDU. The error might have been caused by using a culture definition or the definition "all" instead of the faction definition (in the EDB).
Synchronize the EDB faction requirement with the ownership line in the EDU.

**Gigantus** · January 23, 2011, 05:57 AM

One is glad to be of service

**Gigantus** · January 23, 2011, 07:58 AM

I took the liberty of color coding and correcting your entries, check the spoilers.

Do not copy EDB faction entries into the EDU ownership line - this will make the unit available for the additional factions in custom battle and will result in crashes or at least 'silver surfers' (units without textures).

Always adjust the EDB according to the entries in the EDU.

**Praetorian1** · January 23, 2011, 08:36 AM

The 2 unit codes of the same unit 'aor armenian axemen' are both in the EDU how u see them one over the other, the top one is 'custom' for custom battles, not just this unit but there's a bunch of units listed twice in the EDU of BC always with one of them custom, so i don't think i should just remove it all (the top one "custom'). Anyway i sticking to the one below..

I should have waited for a reply cos i did it the other way round, copied & paste the faction entries of the EDB in the EDU

but now that u tell me i will do it vice versa again, i'l copy poland, turks, england & paste them instead of the 17 factions in the unit's faction entries. However, although i didn it the other way round, in the system.log i don't have any errors anymore, just warnings.. But i'll do it how u told me to..

**Gigantus** · January 23, 2011, 11:47 AM

You will not get error messages anymore as you removed the reason for the error. Unfortunately it will create other problems as I explained.

I crossed out the "custom" unit as it didn't have any relevance to your problem, I didn't mean that you should delete the entry - sorry, my bad.

I am somewhat puzzled why the unit gets entered again to start with: all the stats are identical. All that needed to be done was to add the era lines below the ownership line and all the factoins there. That way they would have only been available in custom battle to the multi factions. Example:

Code:

ownership  poland, turks, england
era 0   england, france, spain, denmark, venice, milan, sicily, egypt, hungary,  poland, russia, portugal, scotland, turks, moors, byzantium, mongols,  aztecs
era 1   england, france, spain, denmark, venice, milan, sicily, egypt, hungary,  poland, russia, portugal, scotland, turks, moors, byzantium, mongols,  aztecs
era 2   england, france, spain, denmark, venice, milan, sicily, egypt, hungary,  poland, russia, portugal, scotland, turks, moors, byzantium, mongols,  aztecs

Yes in fact even i was puzzled at those double unit entries in the EDU, but as long as its ok there could be a 100 of the same unit entries.. Tnkx for all your help mate

**wudang_clown** · January 23, 2011, 02:15 PM

Okay, I get it now.

Actually, this is Gigantus who unwittingly has made a confusion. If you are not using gamegeek2's EDU, then you are using basic BC2.02 EDU, which doesn't have those inconsistencies Gigantus tried to show. But he is using gamegeek2's EDU, and he modified your posts accordingly to the info from gamegeek2's EDU, not the one you are using... So, you both are talking about two different files, and your log does not relate to gamegeek2's EDU in any way, if you are not using it.

I'm not sure what do you mean here, because EDU you are using, the basic 2.02 EDU, and not gamegeek2's EDU, doesn't contain double entries. So, how could you be puzzled by them if you haven't seen them in EDU you are using? Or at least there are no doubled "aor armenian axmen" and "aor trans nobles" - but in gamegeek2's EDU there are double entries for these units, which is obviously a mistake. I haven't checked the rest.

Why does your log cited in post #1 contains those errors if you haven't modified BC2.02 is beyond my comprehension, because I am using just the same version of EDU and EDB and there are no such errors in my log.

I don't know mate, thats what i'v been trying to find out.. Anyway , the good thing is that i have no more errors

& all is well now

tnkx to u guys

Ask Wudang_clown. It's his baby.

**Gigantus** · January 23, 2011, 11:59 AM

Maybe a carry over from an early version of BC when the era concept wasn't put in yet (RTW).

**wudang_clown** · January 23, 2011, 12:48 PM

That's how it is when one decides to post about problems with a mod on a general forum instead of mod's forum.

Gentlemen, the only problem is that Praetorian1 mixed some files and completely forgot about it.

Those are entries of:

1. BC 2.02 EDU:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

2. BC2.02 EDB with an entry for aor armenian axmen:

Code:

recruit_pool "aor armenian axmen"  1  0.15  1  0  requires factions { turks, byzantium, poland, england, france, moors, denmark, russia, milan, sicily, venice, portugal, egypt, spain, scotland, hungary, aztecs, }  and  hidden_resource armenia_proper

As you can see, both files are coherent at this point if it comes to unit ownership. However, Praetorian1 is either using karaislam's submods package, or gamegeek2's EDU (which is WIP, thus those inconsistencies he is pointing out, but that's not an issue in BC2.02).

Two things: this issue should have been posted in BC forum, and secondly one needs to be more precise and try to remember what changes to the base version one has made, before posting. Applying gamegeek2's EDU equals modifying BC2.02, because his EDU is being developed for BC3, not 2.02.

Anyway, the problem is quite serious and thanks for pointing this out. Much love.

sorry mate, not to contradict u but i'm 1000% that i didn't mix files, all i'v been playing BC is about 5 weeks , if i ever mixed files then how come there's the same thing on my backed up BC files which i backed up just days after i installed it? (as i always do), cos to be 100% i was comparing the files between those backed up & those installed, i just started my 1st armenian campaign just 3 days ago & i NEVER ever touched those 3 units nor even played with them for that matter, except the armenian nobles, & moreover i have no idea what is karaislam's submods package, or gamegeek2

Besides my Vanilla M2 tw+Kingdoms i have only Stainless Steel6.3 & Broken Crescent 2.02 installed.

Anyway, what's more wierd i didn't have any crashes or anything & i didn't even notice those errors in the system.log, it was Gigantus who made me aware about the errors cos i only got curious about the missing files.. Tnkx to Gigantus i fixed the errors in the system.log

**wudang_clown** · January 23, 2011, 05:46 PM

Great to know that you have got rid of those errors.

However I'd like to continue the discussion, if you don't mind, because there is something that niggles me. Could you take a look here, please:

Is that bold and marked in red text your originally, or is it Gigantus' later addition (I see he has modified your post)?
