undiscovered aztecs blocks descr_strat reading

**Red_Devil** · July 29, 2015, 03:58 PM

Hey, I've got a small problem there.

Tried pretty much everything, so I'm asking here.

I've got a descr_strat file where the aztecs are labeled as undiscovered (nothing unusual there)

Code:

faction    aztecs, balanced smithai_label        default
undiscovered
denari    50000
denari_kings_purse    10000

Then whatever I add underneath this entry, isn't read, not even the campaign script (checked the log for a campaign_script toggle, nothing...) and the settlements assigned to the aztecs stay assigned to the rebels (so aztecs are always considered as destroyed on campaign launch with the corresponding event message). The game runs just fine, but nothing written after undiscovered is taken into account. All other settlements are assignes to rebel, are village level settlements etc.

The only thing in the log is :

Code:

22:22:32.359 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/Wheel_of_Time/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.txt, at line 925, column 1
Playable faction <aztecs> marked as undiscovred.

If I delete the undiscovered

Code:

faction    aztecs, balanced smithai_label        default
denari    50000
denari_kings_purse    10000

And the game CTDs every time.

I tried pretty much everything I think.

What do I need to have to verify the condition "Aztecs undicovered"? I tried by applying a black map_fog.tga, doesn't change a thing, and other things as well (changing the aztecs to the last factions in descr_strat faction section etc.)

Edit : Forgot to add that it only works when deleting the faction... then all works for the best (except for the missing faction)

Any help is greatly appreciated ! Thanks !

It is a wild guess, but in order to be undiscovered, shoudn't the faction be in the unplayable ? Maybe it is what the log error mean.
Did you check that the ai is freeze at campaign start for the aztecs in the campaign_script ?

Also, i assume that the indentation of this line, faction aztecs, balanced smithai_label default, is a copy/paste mistake ?

Playable faction <aztecs> marked as undiscovred.

Seems to be a straight forward error message: either the faction is undiscovered or it is playable - both is not possible, check where it is entered at the top of the file.

Plus there appears to be a formatting error, maybe caused by copying here: the ai_label needs to be in a separate line.

Code:

faction    aztecs, balanced smith
ai_label        default
undiscovered
denari    50000
denari_kings_purse    10000

Seeing that entries below this are not being read I guess that is the underlying reason for the errors.

Sorry, copy paste mistake...

What I have in my descr_strat:

Code:

faction    aztecs, balanced smithai_label        default
undiscovered
denari    50000
denari_kings_purse    10000

And that's what I don't understand, since the campaign_script.txt isn't called due the fact that descr_strat just stops running and the campaign_script is launched at the end of descr_strat.txt...

Tried making the faction unplayable, game keeps on crashing for no apparent reason. However no "aztecs marked as undiscovered" in the log. The campaign script launched and reached the wait monitor, so seems the descr_strat is read entirely, however no help in the log...
Tried to change the campaign script, adding freeze / unfreeze, taking all of it of, taking the vanilla freeze script (with the tile_dscovered trigger etc.) Nothing there...

Here's the end of the log :

What makes me curious is what are the conditions for an undiscovered faction? I understand the dead_until_resurrected label, however there are no explanations on the undiscovered label...

If there is no solution I'll just have to carry on with one faction down...

Script does this:

Code:

; unhide America
restrict_strat_radar false

...

unfreeze_faction_ai aztecs

Not sure what happens if you have an "undiscovered" faction in part of the map that is not hidden.

**Gigantus** · July 30, 2015, 03:38 AM

'undiscovered' - no diplomatic interaction and no display of faction symbols during game play:

Normally you can see a list of playable factions when you access the faction menu (diplomatic relations), even if you have no clue where those factions are. The 'undiscovered' faction will not be listed there.

The 'undiscovered' condition gets lifted once any the faction's assets have been seen by your faction (or any faction?)
