[error] Insufficient video memory to load requested texture set.

**Tenerife_Boy** · March 19, 2012, 05:14 PM

So as the title says when I´m gonna start a campaign in any mod it ctds and this is what the log shows

Insufficient video memory to load requested texture set.

....wtf ????

I got 1.05 m2tw+k totally operative and updated, also my graphic card is updated and it´s a good one a Nvidia Gforce 450 GTS and 4 GB RAM so far enough to run the game perfectly.

Thanks to any who can help me with this issue.

Q: The game starts to load, then CTD and error log says there is 'Insufficient video memory'.

A: This is normally caused when you tell M2TW to look for an image file that doesn't exist. The this is normally due to an error in the descr_model_strat.txt. Ensure that all the image paths (eg models_strat/textures/southern_ambasador_papacy.tga) lead to an image file (.tga) and the spelling is correct.

If both are correct ensure that in every entry the .cas file has its .tga file assigned to one faction (without opening the cas file it's impossible to tell which tga file it needs). If this tga file is not listed in the 'descr_model_strat.txt' entry the mod will crash. For example any entry using the 'late_general_northern.CAS' has to have one faction assigned the 'late_general_england_strat.tga' or the mod will crash.

Below is an example. The 'mesoamerican_king.cas' requires the 'mesoamerican_king_mayans.tga'. The following will produce an 'Insufficient video memory' error because the 'mesoamerican_king_mayans.tga' has not been assigned to the 'mesoamerican_king.cas'.

Code:

type                mesoamerican_king
  skeleton            strat_named_with_army
  scale                0.7
  indiv_range            40
  texture                aztecs, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_aztecs.tga
  texture                mayans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_aztecs.tga
  texture                tlaxcalans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_tlaxcalans.tga
  texture                tarascans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_tarascans.tga
  texture                slave, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_aztecs.tga
  model_flexi_m            models_strat/mesoamerican_king.CAS, max
  shadow_model_flexi        models_strat/shadow_sword.CAS, max

But this one will work because the 'mesoamerican_king_mayans.tga' has been assigned to the 'mesoamerican_king.cas'.

Code:

type                mesoamerican_king
  skeleton            strat_named_with_army
  scale                0.7
  indiv_range            40
  texture                aztecs, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_aztecs.tga
  texture                mayans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_mayans.tga
  texture                tlaxcalans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_tlaxcalans.tga
  texture                tarascans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_tarascans.tga
  texture                slave, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_aztecs.tga
  model_flexi_m            models_strat/mesoamerican_king.CAS, max
  shadow_model_flexi        models_strat/shadow_sword.CAS, max

It has nothing to do with hardware:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Pay attention to the red text.
So make sure this file exists in the textures folder.
Then launch the mod and I'm pretty sure u won't get a crash.
Hope this helps u bro.

I have very similar problem, but I don't see any errors. Can anyone look for my files ?

It's important because I create this mod very long and works are advances.
