v2.4 has been released - please do NOT report any bugs if you are playing with previous versions

[RodriguesSting]

A Galatian invasion spawned on top of a river. Probably got pushed by one of the diplomats hanging around my capital.

There is what looks like an indian jungle in Illyria, 2 square above the Skodra settlement. Youn can distinguish it on the strat map, the tree models are lighter green.
Though it's a bug, my consul had a great time when he went for a walk under the palm trees.

Not a bug report, just technical support question. Are there scripts or otherwise features that don't get activated if you load a save game made during AI turn, e.g., at the battle screen. I noticed that I didn't get the scrolls for new buildings and units and everything else after playing the battle and continuing on through to my new turn. Wondering if whatever mechanism didn't get loaded there applied to mod features and what I might be missing out on.

New buildings and units don't use the script, and there's only one permanently-active one. That's why we got rid of separate battle scripts, because sometimes the campaign_script would fail to switch back again after a battle. No idea what happened there.

Crashing constantly, not able to open the saved game. Some 110 turns in or so.

I have to say this is one of the more unstable releases thus far.

Nothing useful in that extract, can you re-run it with trace enabled so I can see what those unspecified errors follow?

[Marvzilla]

With trace enabled ? Sorry I dont follow, do you mean ingame or in notepad ? English isnt the language of my program.

[QuintusSertorius]

Go into your ebii.cfg, and under [log] move the # from the line with trace on it, to the line with error on it. Then re-run the game for the error log.

That's still an error log, not a trace log, so it doesn't have the detail.

Is your game patched to v1.05?

Well I did what youve told me regarding the log ? I havent, read that its a hassle and destabilizes the game more than it helps. I also play on retail kingdoms and mtw2 so not gold.

EDIT: So I just checked, ingame (EB 2) it says I am running it on 1.05 so I seem to have patched it just forgot.

I can't diagnose a truncated log. For normal running, you leave it set to "error". When you have a problem, you need to set it to "trace" to get the more detailed log, then you can revert it to "error" again.

I mean is your Kingdoms patched to v1.05, not EBII.

I already tried that and send it to you, here again. I start the game up, load the save, the loading fails and I get an unspecified error message. I dont know why my log wont show more.

Started a Nabatu campaign and the same thing just happened just much earlier in the late 50s turns. Maybe the problem is that my log generates when I try to load my game again ?

Looks like a corrupted save. There's nothing unusual there besides the crash itself. I'd suggest a reinstallation.

Playing as Rome. Around turn 6-8 Carthage attacks and occupies Messana triggering the message that they have invaded Romes sphere of influence and that war is the only answer. I do nothing and the next turn war is declared automatically and Carthage is called the betrayer. 10 turns later after taking Corsica and Sardinia from Carthage I attack Messana and take it from Carthage and then I get the message that I have invaded Carthages sphere of influence and that they are going to declare war on me, while we are already at war. I then get the notification that I am now at war with Carthage.

No bugs, but a technical help is needed: could someone post the export_descr_buildings.txt from EB2.35 ? I made a mistake, did not back up the file, and now can't find the original file... Many thanks !
