SSHIP - General Discussion

[Antonius]

It was a fresh install, but I'll try again

Edit: just did a fresh install again and got the same thing.
Installed ss 6.3> patch to 6.4 and then copied the data folder(0.97)

Same here. Had a working SS 6.4, merged the data folder and now it tells me "MTW2 has encountered an unspecified error..."

have you tried to do the window 7 compatibility thing and run as administrator?
That happened to me at first but I solved it with what I just told you

Nope....

[Just let me post]

When i install the mod with a new SS6.4 installer, without changing anything. The mod running but have a CTD shortly after i play. But then it seems running smoothly when i try again.

Good job for all developers

Yes, I also got a random CTD for no reason once, but now it keeps working silky smooth

[Antonius]

I guess the problem is, that I used the new SS installer which includes the Meloo Fix? Any idea how I can get the the old two part installer? Or is there any way to get this running with the Meloo fix?

[Dekhatres]

got a ctd when i opened it the first time, thought maybe the desktop shortcut was fugged, went into folder opened again and now everything is working

i guess you get a guaranteed first ctd then it's all fine

Nope, CTD every time...

why thank you kind Sir

[Antonius]

why thank you kind Sir

Unfortunately not even that seems to work. MTW2 vanilla works, SS 6.4 (clean) works but after copying the 0.97 data it crashes every time I start it....

[Dekhatres]

well idk then, i downloaded today from that same link and it worked for me

i'd try download the 0.97 rar again, i had problems a few times in the past where the archive was just corrupted for some reason, redownload solved it

the only other thing maybe you could try to uncheck "read-only" on your medieval 2 folder properties, solved a similar issue on another game, maybe some files arent getting copied or who knows

Ill extract it again and see if it works! Thank you for the help!!

Just to remove the elephant from the room I'll test my SS repack with this new version - I'll be using a fresh install of SS and SSHIP.

Procedure I shall be using:

1. Install a clean version of my SS6.4 repack plus the 'novgogord' fix (just in case)
2. Run the SS6.4 setup and choose Early Era campaign with Savage AI, RR/RC enabled (option doesn't exit, see install pic) and no permanent arrows because of performance hit. This will also run SS automatically, exit after mod has loaded.
3. Unzip SSHIP download
4. Move unzipped 'data' folder into mods\SS6.3 directory

Note: Win7 compatibility and admin use is set. Steam is installed outside the program files directory (D:\Steam). See the alternative of moving Steam's library.

Edit: everything went smooth and I had no problem starting a game as the Byzantines. The log threw up a good number of script errors which are related to setting counters that do not exist (have not been declared) - maybe they are event counters and set_event_counter should have been used?:

I did note that the dead, former leader of the Byzs did not have the leader symbol - that can be done by using 'past_leader' in his character record line

And with that the elephant has left the room - it would appear that the repack is just dandy with SSHIP.

What is the recommended difficulty? Is it vh/vh?

[Jurand of Cracow]

What is the recommended difficulty? Is it vh/vh?

It's up to you. At VH campaign you have difficult mechanisms to deal with, it's described in-game with pop-out windows. Money will be very scarce in VH if you recruit many units.

[Gigantus]

Just ran squid's script checker and it threw up a number of bloopers:

if not IsFactionAIControlled

That has to be I_IsFactionAIControlled because it is in an IF loop - numerous occasions

        if FactionIsLocal

Same issue - three occasions I think

    monitor_event CharacterTurnStart Trait Near_Loyalty 2

Token is missing, eg = or > etc - two occasions

This one is a first for me: the end of the script is in line 48972 (end_script), but there is another script section below it which obviously will not be executed - all the way to line 52488

Feel free to move this to the bug report section together with the stuff in my prior post.

Can I just install 0.97 over a working SSHIP 0.96 installation? Rather not re-install SS 6.4 all over again

[removeduser_28376423423]

Can I just install 0.97 over a working SSHIP 0.96 installation? Rather not re-install SS 6.4 all over again

I tried that and it worked, but in the first siege battle I played i got a super annoying texture glitch (that covered half the screen; it appeared to be triggered by a death animation bug), though I'm not sure if reinstalling over clean SS6.4 would fix it.

Dont worry , it is a very old and known bug due to the archer bow string animation when dying. Kostic KCC models will fix this problem in the next patch.
