Post your bug reports in this thread, with as many details as you can give us. Screenshots/SaveGames are also very welcome, we can fix bugs quicker that way.

Hi,

Downloaded and installed the fix. Playing as the Greeks in Italy (sorry, forgot the Name) CTD when I attack a brigante army a few turns into the campaign. Skirmishing is OK, but CTD as the troops collide, just like in the original Beta.

That faction would be Taras. Could you tell me which units collided when the CTD occurred? I'll look into it then, and we'll fix it in a while. Not today anymore

Waiting for more bugs to show up first, and new beta material. We'll keep you updated when we'll patch again. Won't be more than a week I think.

I tried the battle again, then delayed a turn and tried once more, and used Tara in some custom games. All CTD. I really can't tell for sure, but it might be related to Taras' cavalry.

Tried some custom battles with Athens and Sparta which worked beautifuly.

I'm going out for the evening, I will try a custom with Tara without horsies next chance I get.

Actually, I have a little time on my hands while the wife gets ready to go out...

I think it's the heavy Taras cavalry. In desc.model battle they have spear and sword animations. Changed spear to javelin, and everything seems to be OK. I guess it was CTD as they attempted to throw javelins before contact with the enemy.

Bodyguards of one of my Persian general were vanilla Parthian cataphracts

**Nero666** · March 24, 2006, 07:51 AM

Yes the Taras cavalry will be fixed in the next patch. They indeed were the problem, tested it here too.

The Family Member Bodyguards haven't been touched at all yet, they're all vanilla still. Even Pandya has egyptian generals, so don't worry, we'll do them once we get to it.

Found another problem. Attacking a Baktrian controlled town. The enemy general was mounted on an elephant. CTD at battle loading screen. data/rop/models_unit/textures/unit_indian_elephant_crew.tga not found (or something like that). I went to the appropriate folder and found the tga. It had the ROP prefix. Deleted the ROP, reloaded game and everything went well (or as well as it can when you have to take a town center from several dozen armored elephants).

Oops. I know what was wrong. I didn't assign the texture for the elephant crew to the pontic faction slot, which is used by baktria. The name you typed is the texture assigned to the model within the .CAS file itself (when you load a model in 3ds, this is the name the texture should have to be loaded). In the next patch, we'll assign it properly. You could do it yourself too, if you can. Add the texture and model_sprite lines into the rop_pandya_elephant_crew entry.

type rop_pandya_elephant_crew
texture pontus, data/ROP/models_unit/textures/unit_rop_pandya_elephant_crew.tga
model_sprite pontus, 60.0, data/sprites/egypt_rop_pandya_elephant_crew_sprite.spr

**Scorpion** · March 26, 2006, 06:25 PM

Hey Nero 666,

That did the trick. Baktrian elephants are now AOK.

Really good info btw guys

In the mean time I finished porting the map to 1.5 - so we start porting the code tomorrow...

**carl-the-conqueror** · April 02, 2006, 02:35 PM

I dont know whether this has come up but my game closes after the rise of persia logo comes up.

I have installed on a fresh rtw v1.2 and i have the beta patch and the hotfix.

**Nero666** · April 03, 2006, 01:36 AM

To Alish:
That problem will be fixed in the 1.5 version

To Carl:
This isn't normal behaviour, as you probably know. Could you enable -show_err for the ROP shortcut? Check this tutorial on how to do this:

i the error comes up as this

**carl-the-conqueror** · April 03, 2006, 11:52 AM

if this is the file it is about i uploaded it here (click save target as)

**Nero666** · April 04, 2006, 03:53 AM

Yup that's the old version of export_descr_buildings.txt. If I'm correct, the new version is present in the patch 1.11. Let me check.

**Nero666** · April 04, 2006, 03:57 AM

Nope it's not present in the hotfix, as far as I can see. You should redownload the full beta to fix this problem.

**carl-the-conqueror** · April 04, 2006, 11:42 AM

thanks all fine now
