The Great War 5.1 | Bug reports, crashes & solutions.

[Belakor]

by putting the files in the data of ntw, you mean put the file or files that contain all the data? I admit that it is not clear ...

my problems:
missing flags, unit cards, none sound, campaign crash after start.

[Captain Tarvitz]

My problem is that I've installed the mod files and been able to get the launcher running ok but it always goes to vanilla NTW. The launcher did update to 5.0.1 and I moved the packs.txt to the updates folder but this hasn't changed anything.

Downloaded first time and it works wonderful. You people just need to use your brain, it's very simple

I did it manualy. First copy the campaign ( ww1_main ) folder into your NTW data/campaigns folder. Next copy all pack files from The Great War/Files into your data folder including the ones you want to have from the "options" folder. I for instance chose "projectile_trails_none.pack", "_GreatWar5_Textures_Effects_less_blood.pack" and "_GreatWar5_DB_LargeScale.pack";

Next in the same The Great War/Files folder there's a user.script txt

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT just copy the user.script txt into the scripts folder because there are random file paths like:

mod "The Great War/Files/Options/projectile_trails_minimal.pack";
mod "The Great War/Files/_GreatWar5_Mappack.pack";
mod "The Great War/Files/_GreatWar5_Animations.pack";
mod "The Great War/Files/_GreatWar5_VariantModels_Atlas.pack";

just delete the part : "The Great War/Files/ and leave only mod "_GreatWar5_Animations.pack";

so that in the end it looks like this:

mod "projectile_trails_none.pack";mod "_GreatWar5_Mappack.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_Animations.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_VariantModels_Atlas.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_VariantModels_Equipment.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_VariantModels_UnitParts.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_VariantModels_Units.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_DB.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_DB_Tech_Effects.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_EngineModels_Models.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_EngineModels_Textures.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_Extras.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_LUA.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_Media_Sounds.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_RigidModels.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_Textures_Naval.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_UI_Events.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_UI_Flag_Tiles.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_UI_Flags.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_UI_LoadingScreens.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_UI_Portraits.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_UI_Units.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_UnitModels.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_DB_Tech_Effects.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_Unit_Voices.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_UI_Portraits_Extra.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_UI_Campaign.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_UI_Events.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_DB_LargeScale.pack";
mod "_GreatWar5_Textures_Effects_less_blood.pack";

With that done, you won't experience any Unit Card, sound issues or CTD's after battle.

[Ensis1410]

-There is no sound.
-No icons choosing battles and campaigns.
Looks luanchera malfunction.

[john duca]

So i finally started the mod..when i click ww1 campaigns it crashes...pls fix this mod and make it to be like you promised yesterday...after that i think is fair to ask players to give you rep...

[MrExpendable]

For everyone with the problems I had, I think I got the mod working as intended. There are still a few unit description pictures missing and various things like that, but I am assuming that because this is a great mod in progress, such things are intentional.

Anyway, what I did to make it work is as follows:

Move all the Great War files into the Napoleon data folder, including the select files I wanted from the Options folder.

Next, download the Napoleon mod manager from here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...anager-for-NTW

Then, extract the three files it downloads with into a New Folder. Run the exe. and UnCheck the "Show all pack types" box. Only check the "Great War" boxes, then Launch.

The main menu has the correct music and sounds now, the flags are correct, and the campaign loads.

Good luck and have fun, I hope this helps everyone.

This worked perfectly for me, thanks! Have some rep.

[Belakor]

thanks GeneralL it works !

Attachment 290121

same problem and I don't have any sounds...

[Aanker]

For some reason TWC did not register my post:

Have problems with the launcher? Run the .exe as an admin! This appears to have made it work for some people.

[GeneralL]

thanks GeneralL it works !

glad to be of help !

[Tuhaj bej]

Hey!


I like your models, just a lot of bugs.
What do you expect to be able to play campaign?

[banipo]

I'm having a lot of problems right now.

I've tried everything

With all of that I'm able to start the game through mod manager, and getting sound on the menu. But when I try to start the campaign, the game goes down. Also the custom battles only have 1 troop per regiment. Now in Vanilla all of my regiments consist out of 1 soldier too.

What am I doing wrong? I'm not experienced in this and it seems to work for other people

PLEASE help me !

[LePititNoNo]

Now I have sound and I can play the campaign BUT therre is one HUGE problem...I can't upgrade my farms...I did try with Belgium and France but it didn't work. Can someone help me? When I click on the farm there is no option to upgrade it.

It crashes on Late October in my German campaign on Switzerland's turn regardless.

[Yossarian [Sepp-Gaming]]

Hello, i have a CTD while playing the campaign with Sweden between rond 44 and 45.

I use the mod with the launcher (i have replaced the updated packs.txt with the orginal). Crash report attached. (Do you event need them?)

So now i try an other faction, so i can see if the error is reproducible.^^

[john duca]

Bugs:
-crash in 1915 as many said above
-french flags and then crash to desktop at faction selection
-economy is just..you know
-this mod works only when it wants..sometimes I have sounds..sometimes i dont..

[AzureNight]

Yeah, the economy is horribly balanced. The actual battles seem nice but I just had a crash in a custom trench one. My computer is quite good and I usually don't have trouble running huge battles.

Release should have been delayed by a week minimum.

[banipo]

I got most of my problems fixed for the mod, but I'm afraid that, in my effort of trying, i've done something wrong and I don't know what.


All of my troops ( vanilla and the mod ) are set to ' 1 '


What do I have to do to fix this?

[Tuhaj bej]

I tried many times, but my only run in the custom battles.
