one roman faction

[leader_of_men]

i have modded export_descr_unit so ownership of all roman units are romans_brutii, i have also modded export_descr_buildings so that all roman buildings and units are romans_brutii, i have modded descr_sm_factions to disable custom battle avaliability of senate scipii and julii. i have modded cescr_strat and removed entries for senate scippi and julii on camapigne list and then copy and pasted all the settlements from them into brutii section and also copy and pasted the units from them into the brutii section and took out leader and heir. i didnt change anything with record just lef them were they was

i did delete
faction romans_julii, comfortable caesar
superfaction romans_senate
denari 5000

for each senate julii and scipii


i was told to do all this and then brutii would be the only roman faction but the game CTD so have i done something wrong or do i need to mod more files

[Tacticalwithdrawal]

I'm not a modder in any way shape or form, but I do play SPQR wher Lt has one Roman faction (plus SPQR). I know he has to do a 'destroy faction' at the start of the game (you get the messages coming up on your 1st turn) and I think it is because the game crashes if you don't.

unfortunately, I haven't a clue how you do it, sorry.....

[tFighterPilot]

Use -show_err to see where is the problem

[leader_of_men]

i dont know how to use -show_err very much a noob

First thing to do is create a shortcut to your RomeTW.exe, open the shortcut and add -show_err to the target line (outside the quotes).

That will cause the game to give you an error message for most CTDs.

[leader_of_men]

im not sure what you mean by RomeTW.exe

[Lusted]

The RTW shoertcut on your desktop, right click it go to properties and on the traget line add -show_err outside the "" then run RTw through the shortcut.

Have you removed the julii, scipii and senate from the playable non playable sections at the top of descr_strat? Have you removed the superfaction senate line formt he brutii? Have you moved all the scipii, julii and senate settlements to other factions such as the slaves? Have you removed the julii scipii and senate characters and family relationships in descr_strat?

[Dejan77]

can senate stay as only roman fraction?

[leader_of_men]

it doesnt CTD now but when i click on brutii in new campaign select it just takes me back to select campaign historical battle custom battl ect.

then when i quit i get an error message

scrip error data/export_descr_builidng-i understand the error is in that folder
line 3509 column 2-i get its on that line an column

building DB error-culture db maz settlement level differs from building db max settlement level for factions romans_julii ( bdg town vs clt huge city )

but i dont understand the rest and there is no romans_julii in the file because i put everything under romans_brutii so do i have to count each line till i get to that error or is there an easier way to find the line with the error on?

[Lusted]

It can but it is a very buggy faction, CA never meant for them to be playable, i do not think you can get the marian reforms with just the senate as the only roman faction for instance.

[makanyane]

To find the line, open file in notepad, select 'edit', then 'go to...' and type in line number.

[leader_of_men]

it wont let me click on ' go to for some reason its not highlighted to let me

[Lusted]

romans_julii is the default faction for lots of settlements, you would have to change the faction creator line in descr_regions and descr_strat from romans_julii to romans_brutii.

[leader_of_men]

i cant find the descr_regions file

[Lusted]

Look in the data\world\maps\base folder, this contains many of the files for the imperial campaign.

[leader_of_men]

i get the same error message after doing what you said lusted but the line is 3508 and copumn 3 instead

[Lusted]

What is on that line? If you are having problems using go to line, try turning word wrap off.
