Launcher & String and CTD issues(post here)

[Sar1n]

Try to run M2TW/documentation/tools/cuf/build-strings-bin.wsf, then run the game once more.

I sure hope the rest of the people don't have it like that. I think we would have seen it earlier if that is the case for everyone.

Hm. Is that supposed to be the help with shared.txt problem? I have same problem, and running the scrip errors me (I believe it's Windoom trying to open it in default Windows Script Host, because I don't have Java installed).

[siccmr187]

Im gettting the black screen with shared.txt:{GERR_GENERIC} on luanch. I done the build strings thingie and it said somthing about a Java error. I will try and work out how to save a screenshot then post if that helps

Hallo,

First i like to say thank you all for your work and this fantastic Mod. So, i had the same error and your Method works for me. But i have a other error, see here please. What can i do to fix that problem with the shared.txt ?

Try to extract this into this folder: Medieval II Total War\mods\EBII\data\

Please let me know if it fixes the issue.

[bovi]

Where can i find that or get that? And many thanks for your help.

Umm... I just told you...? It's in the documentation/tools/cuf folder, under your M2TW folder. Run that script.

Oh, and you need Java, yes. Sorry. Try Alin's fix first though.

Works so far, thanks.

I have a minor complaint When I was browsing the units while setting up my first battle, I noticed that unit's description and stats are hard to read if the popup is located over units window (and it usually is) because background color of unit cards is similar to font color.

Also, I'm missing a " Flash firendly/enemy units" button in UI. Intentional or bug?

So... Java is activ, and i run the file in the cuf folder, but same again, shared.txt.

Did you try the .rar? Are you sure it overwritten existing files? Do you have a 32 bit version of Windows?

Works so far, thanks.

Can you post a screenshot, I have a trouble imagining the issue.

[siccmr187]

For some reason i am having trouble posting a screenshot. I have tried everything suggested and still i get the same screen Celernus gets . EB fails to luanch with an shared generic text error. Its a shame i am one of the few who have run into this. Been waiting the full 8 years for this Mod! just my luck

[M.V.Celerinus]

Did you try the .rar? Are you sure it overwritten existing files? Do you have a 32 bit version of Windows?

I have a 64 bit Version Windows 7. And yes, i try both .rar and the files where overwritten (i hope).

Hi guys

Firstly, I'd like to say thanks for all the work and help. Had problems with Launcher, fixed with the .rar file you loaded up Alin. Now when I load I get this message. Clearly the screen resolution is wrong, but I've tried moving it around and my monitor doesn't like it. Can you give me any help with what I've done wrong?

Cheers
Ben

I am running 64bit windows 7 too , and Celerinus are you using the digital gold edition?

[Sar1n]

Bloody windows 8.1...

PrtScr for some reason doesn't capture what's on screen in EB, but screen of what's running under it-desktop or Chrome usually. Can't find a proper solution. And ingame screenshot function doesn't work in menu.

[M.V.Celerinus]

I am running 64bit windows 7 too , and Celerinus are you using the digital gold edition?

Yes, i use the Gold Edition from German Computerbild Magazin.

So my error History.

1. I had the same problem as Campylobacter jejuni reported here in #1

2. I read the helpfull answer from bovi in #7

3. I couldt start the mod without any problems. Nice Vids by the way and fantastic atmospäre too.

4. But after restart i have the problem i posted in #10

5. When i closed the game, i read on this error like Campylobacter jejuni posted in #4

6. I used the Fixes, both from alin.

7. I run the M2TW/documentation/tools/cuf/build-strings-bin.wsf, but the Internet Explorer opens like i postedt in #27.

8. When i try to start the Mod, only this happend like i postet in #15

So, i think i made some mistakes, but where?

Windows 7, 64 bit. Retail Version, but the folder in M2TW\mods\EBII\logs is empty...

For step 7 do you have java installed? What's your install path?

If yes(if not you must install it) go to:
Medieval II Total War\documentation\tools

Open build_scripts.ini with notepad(right click) and update this path to your java path(eg. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe):
Exe = E:\Programs\Java\jre7.17\bin\java.exe

Afterwards run Medieval II Total War\documentation\tools\cuf\build-all-cuf.wsf.
Double click, if it still opens in interner explorer then right click and choose open with command prompt.
