    Version 0.5.7

    Changes/Fixes from v0.5.6:

    • Added admiral to syntax highliting for M2TW & RTW Scripts
    • Fixed the auto indentation which was not correctly indenting in all cases
    • Changed the validation to report one error per unit line from the unit lines of a spawn_army block
    • Fixed the movie line of add_events blocks looking in the wrong location for movie files
    • Changed the movie line in add_events blocks to check for correct extension before checking for file existence
    • Fixed a couple of minor errors in movie line and position line checks for add_events blocks
    • Fixed various commands not being recognized if they also are scripting keywords (such as date)
    • Slight performance improvement from only doing unit related checks when expecting a unit (EDU) type, these improvements will be ongoing for a few updates going forward

    The files you extracted (data\text folder) are in string.bin format and need converting. Use this: StringBin Converter
    You might also need some files from the main game (descr_advice)

    The above would account for 3 of the errors but not the other 9. What operating system are you using? My guess is Vista or Win 7 and you're running into virtual store issues.

    im using win xp. as i sayed i just extracted americas and tried to launch the script editor. ill convert them.
    one more question: in the third age total war mod for kingdoms i changed some entries in the export_descr_units and it worked. i did the same with the extracted americas, but without effect.
    do you have any idea what could be the reason for this??

    PS: thanx for fast reply

    If it still isn't finding the files you didn't extract them to where you think you did or the setting isn't pointing to where you think it is.

    You need to add a config file for the expansions that tells them to refer to the files first, otherwise the game won't refer to the extracted files at all. The easiest is to just add the following to the vanilla config file:

    Code:
    [io]
    file_first = true

    I have a New Year's wish: a sub routine to check if the correct entries for historic events are present in the text file. For example:

    "historic_event test_entry" and "event historic test_entry" require {TEST_ENTRY_TITLE} and {TEST_ENTRY_BODY} in the data\text\historic_events file, no text is required after those entries.

    Without those entries the game crashes when the event fires.

    I'll see what I can do, that will probably work into my plan to redo what files the TWLibrary.dll reads based on what is being checked. For example when checking scripts you aren't worried about whether or not entries exists in export_VnVs.txt and export_ancillaries.txt, so don't need to read those files, but when checking traits with ATVTW those files are absolutely required. Currently every file is read, even those files that aren't needed.

    I seem unable to edit anything in the dHHR folder with the latest version, but it works when I use it to open any file in the Stainless Steel folder. I've deleted both settings without success. When I open the dHHR desc_srat file I find everything greyed out and the contents of the list lack any of the colouring while I'm able to access everything in the SS desc_strat and it contains all the coloured text.

    Do you know what might be causing this and have a solution?

    Does anyone have a link to an older version that might work with dHHR?

    Check to see if dHHR has its files set to read-only.

    This does not do anything with descr_strat.txt it will only work with a script file (e.g. your campaign script or a show me script).

    I am having a problem with my favorite script (1648) again. We had the matter with the settlement because it was identical to a faction name. This time it appears to be massive: nearly every second settlement is flagged as incorrect. Curiously the same name that is invalid in one spot can be correct just a few lines below it, eg Koeln in line 13931 is invalid, Koeln in line 13944 is in order.
    Did some tests and the first name in descr_region (Prag) is fine, the next one (Muenchen) gets flagged. Thought it had to do with the legion entry, but other settlements without that entry get flagged as well.
    Could that be a formatting thing either in my descr_regions file or the tool? Attached my collection of necessary files.

    have you got a list of commands?

    I searched online and the only source I found, which is on total war forum, is dead.

    If you have got it, can you upload it somewhere please

    It has to have that file if they have a functional campaign for M2TW. What error are you actually getting?
