CTD after adding a building

[IndicLalla]

I was wondering if anyone had a CTD after adding a building for RTW 1.5? I followed the instructions for add buildings, pre-1.5. Also, is there a limit as to adding building in the export_descr_bldgs file?

Any help or suggestions would be welcomed!

Thanx in advance for helping or even viewing!

can you copy what you've put in so we can have a look please?

I was thinking of using the RTR6 system of recruitment using the phases, so I tried it for the romans. The scritping is just like RTR's export_descr_bldgs.txt file except no units and hidden resources requirements (to check to see if it will load):

added auxilia_phase1's and phase2's to the enums and export_bldg.txt files.

Just to remember, it is exactly like the RTR6 setup.

I've tried again but no luck. I think that 1.5 is limited or the base packs folder is only read for the buildings. Secondary folders for buildings will not be read. Is it possible?

Put -show_err in the game's shortcut to see what's the problem.

The culture name of carthaginian has changed to ct_carthage. If you used carthaginian in export_buildings.txt, this is most likely the cause of the bug. But if you copied it from another RTW 1.5 building, it'll be a typo in the export_descr_buildings (EDB). 1.5 is more strict when it comes to typos, and you should not copy 1.2 info to 1.5, but create your stuff from scratch and only use parts of the 1.5 EDU, unless you know how everything goes.

Thanks Nero for the heads up. But I am keeping the 1.5 and just adding to it. As you can see, i am only adding the the pahses for the julii.

Ok! I got the buildings to load up in the game. I tested it with buildings from RTR (The Phases) and EB (Nomad Camp). My mistakes were on the strat file and not paying close attention.

I changed one thing and left the other unchanged. For example, in the EDB file, which I did correctly:

building barracks_roman and so on.

In the strat file:

building
{
type barracks muster_field
}

What does this result in?
---The game will load and the map generated, but the barracks won't be of roman culture, it will say "Barracks (Greek)"---I am guessing the default between greek and roman. A player can destroy this greek culture building to get 200 denarii (may be a circumvension of the game for money :-P), and it won't be overwritten after constructing the first level roman barrack.

The corrected line:
building
{
type barracks_roman muster_field
}

-----Now the building will be of roman culture.

I basically just followed step by step in adding the two new buildings to the 1.5 version. In the enums file, i put all entries at the bottom; also, the same thing for the text folder bldgs file.

As a result of this, the game will read the secondary UI folder for buildings, interfaces etc.

PS: I got the loading screens for RTR6 and EB to work; EB's interfaces also work; RTR6 units also load up well.

I unpacked the EB packs folders to get the buildings. I then added these building to the secondary UI folder.

I am a happy happy bugger... ;-))
