Custom Battle Issues

[amateurhour]

Hey guys I cant run the custom battle when i play with BI or Alex. everything loads up perfectly until after i click the button to start the battle..it brings me back the the screen where i pick my factions. It works with regular RTW. I only wana play with BI so i can use the shield wall submod i downloaded. If theres nothing you can do no worries this mod rules shield wall or not. But any suggestions? Oh and heres the info you were lookin for:


1. What OS do you use? Windows 7

2. What version of RTW do you use? 1.6? Whatever comes with steam.

3. Are you using steam or not? Steam

4. Install path. comp/C:/program(x86)/steam/steamapps/common/RTW gold

5. Which launcher option have you used (exe, faction etc) Launch with steam: -mod:play_Custom_Battle -show_err -nm

6. If you are reporting a game CTD please provide the additional details. No CTD but see above

- system specifications, CPU, graphics card. ATI mobility radeon hd 4200 graphics, duel core m320 2.1 GHz, 64-bit operating system

- graphic options selected (way too many options): AA off, high unit detail, medium veg, large unit size, everything else default

Let me know if i forgot anything or you need more info. im not too good with comps.

What shield wall sub-mod?

The R:TW BI exe allows the use of the 'shield wall' special ability if the unit has the ability to use it.

Any problem needs to be directed to the sub-mod's author as it's not really RSII.

Are you choosing the battles only option in the RS2 launcher?

[amateurhour]

@Brusilov: no no its not the sub mod (by chris10) that is affecting it. i cant even launch the custom battle. it just redirects me back to the "choose faction" page. im not having problems playing the campaign on BI with the sub mod just custom battles.

@Century x: ya, -mod:play_Custom_Battle -show_err -nm

EDIT: got an error message this time. "script error in
data/world/maps/battle/custom/Georgovia/descr_battle.txt, at line 4, column 2

Expected start date of campaign on battle ."

[Brusilov]

Georgovia is a 'historic battle' and not a custom battle.

I had a look at another historic battle (I don't know if it works or not) and it's different (Cynocephalae):
