How To Create A New Region

[verena xeventus]

Well I say one thing for you guys your very friendly and helpful. Thanks goatbuster 3000 Ill create an error log and get back to you both to show you what it says when i try to launch campaign with new region.

I was wondering a few things last night when i went to bed though, firstly am i putting the RGB coordinates in the right order or should it be different i.e GRB? wouldnt make much sence but worth asking.

Secondly could it be something to do with where the region is being place, there shouldnt be a problem with where Im placing them that I know of. Finally, those numbers at the bottom of the settelment details i.e. 5 6 or 5 5 etc, does that effect anything in anyway.

Anyway thats all I can think of at the moment, I will get back to you as soon as possible with an error log and hopefully ya can tell me where im going wrong.

Thanks again guys.

p.s I am going to be very busy for the weekend so if i dont reply straight away please bare with me as I will try to get back on here by monday.

This is something I wrote earlier in this thread for someone else. I still strongly suggest you follow it as it will speed things up.

The error message you were receiving is the cross reference back to the text files. If you use the mymod set up you need to make sure you have within your mymod the text file directory mymod\data\Text which contains the
imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt file and just delete out the old.bin file or make sure its not read only (It will then be updated automatically).

If you are still having issues try a simple test and set up a mymod folder and copy the data\world directory into it (You don't need all of it but is simplest). Then go into the mymod\worldmaps\base directory and rename the HGT file and delete the RWM file.

Start your mod and you SHOULD get a crash with error messages about ports being wrong. This will show your mymod set up is working correctly.

Now rename the HGT file and go to the Text folder and amend one of the city names eg find in file imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt

{London_Province}London Region
{London}London

and change to

{London_Province}London Region
{London}Londontest

Now start your mod and check that the map now appears with the name of London changed to Londontest. Also delete the RWM again.This will prove that the mymod has correctly read the right text file.

After that take out the HGT file, correct the errors in map_heights.TGA (change 0,0,0 pixels to 1,1,1) and start editing - keep deleting the RWM each time.

Hi!
I've created some new regions x Ireland & almost everything works fine. The only problem is that the new settlements don't have any regiments defending them. Someone mentioned changing the descr_mercenaries or something like that and I added the new regions in the pool pf Scotland_Ireland. The regions have all the same no units in the cities How can I solve this problem???

Why is this happening?
17:25:56.484 [script.err] [error] Script Error in data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.txt, at line 1005, column 1
Couldn't find region name 'Galway_Province' in stringtable
17:25:57.046 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.
I treid deleting the bin file which did not work. Help? I use io.file_first: btw I ust noticed my rmw was back would that do anything?

Greetings all.

I too had problems trying to use this tutorial to make new regions. My problem was that the game would CTD when attempting to start a new campaign. The log file would say something about regions missing from the string table. After much tinkering, trial and error I finally got it to work. I'm not really a modder and attempted multiple fixes at once, so I'm not entirely sure what the actual problem was. However, I'll post my method of adding new regions in the hopes it will help some of you out.

Note: The vast majority of the credit goes to Xerces as most of the steps are identical to his. Cheers mate.

Note 2: My preferred way of getting mods to work is the io.file_first method. That may even be why the tutorial didn't work for me...

First of all, I would advise backing up the following files, in case anything goes wrong:

data/world/maps/base:
map_regions.tga
descr_regions.txt
descr_sounds_music_types.txt

data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign:
descr_regions_and_settlement_name_lookup.txt
descr_strat.txt
descr_mercenaries.txt

data/text:
imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt

Finally, make sure you have a file called imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt.strings.bin in the data/text folderand that it is NOT set to Read Only. If you dont, use the unpacker to extract it.

Now you should be ready to begin...

Navigate to data/world/maps/base.

1. Convert map_regions.tga to a BMP using IrfanView. Open the BMP with Paint. Add regions to the map using unique colours making sure you write down the colour code. Add settlements to the regions using a black dot and ports with a white dot. Save the file, and convert the BMP back to a TGA with IrfanView, overwriting the original file.

2. Open descr_regions.txt and add your region to the list. The easiest way is to simply copy the stats of an existing settlement similar to the one you are adding. Then change the region name (Example_Province) and settlement name (the first word directly beneath the region name), writing both down for future reference. Then change the colour code to exactly what you wrote down in step 1. Save the file.

3. Open descr_sounds_music_types.txt. Add your new region to the relevant section based on its location. Save the file.

Navigate to data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign.

4. Open descr_regions_and_settlement_name_lookup.txt. Add your region and settlement name, and save the file.

5. Open descr_strat.txt. Find the section relating to the faction you would like to be the initial owner of your new settlement, and add it to the end of the existing settlement list. Again, you could copy/paste the stats for an existing settlement and simply change the name and founding nation. Save the file.

6. Open descr_mercenaries.txt. Add your province to the relevant pool based on its location. This will determine the kind of mercenary units that are available to recruit. Save the file.

Navigate to data/text.

7. Open imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt. Add your region and settlement to the list. Save the file and make sure it has the READ ONLY attribute.

Navigate to data/world/maps/base.

8. Delete map.rwm.

9. Go back over everything you've just done to make sure there are NO spelling errors or typos.

And that should do it... your new region should now appear when you start a new campaign.

For those that didn't notice, the differences are the editing of descr_mercenaries.txt to allow the recruitement of mercs in your region, adding your region to descr_regions_and_settlement_name_lookup.txt, and making sure imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt.strings.bin exists in the data/text folder and is not Read Only.

Hope this helps some of you get your new regions working.

Can anyone tell me where to find unit banners? I need to add proper unit banners to my faction?

Awww... I have problems again. I've created many settlements without any problems, but now I have some problems that I can't solve myself

Those were the relevant bits the rest is warning messages (look up how to use the level = * error command in the .cfg file).
You've placed settlements on invalid tiles. just move them or change the map_ground_types or map_features etc

Whats wrong now??

[aoop]

I have it written in as the tutorial instructs
{Galway_Province}Ireland
{Galway}Galway
and the spelling is the same as everywhere else. Maybe its where I have the file? my structure goes data/data/text

[wilddog]

should be data\text

[aoop]

so MTWII/data/text?

[wilddog]

Basically depends on what your higher level directory is but relative to everything else its still ..Data\text as oppose to ..data\world etc

it certainly isn't ..data\data\text

[bangbang2050]

Wow, this is really easy. I am just amazed how simple CA made this. I have been changing already done mod maps to suit my game objectives. Excellent tutorial.

[verena xeventus]

Ok wilddog and goatbuster 3000, I finally managed it... well ok my girl friend kinda managed it, I now have the regions I want and the game is working. For some reason it wont accept messina on the nothern most tip of sicily, and thats why the game kept crashing, still dont understand why, but we basically moved it down and across 2 squares and it worked. Then my girl friend decided she liked the whole map editing thing and took control, adding all the regions I wanted. Unfortunately she is now addicted to the game which means I dont get a look in (she only started playing it 3 days ago).

Anyhow the regions we have added are as follows for those interested.

ENGLAND: Carlisle, Warwick, Penzance
IRELAND: Cork
FRANCE: Orleans, Poitiers, Lyons
GERMANY: Hannover, Munich
SICILY/ITALY: Taranto, Messina

I would like to thank Wilddog and goatbuster 3000 for your help and patience with me on this topic.

[gubbs]

This may be a dumb question, but has anyone else had this issue:

Every settlement I add seems to have the last letter cut off it's name?

Barcelon (a)
Jac (a)

Both on the map and in the logs ..

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong here?

[gubbs]

Nobody? I think it might be terrain related, but I don't get it ..

[iudas]

OK, so I've got a serious problem.
For the 10000000000000000000000th time, I've tried modding the files with various checking methods to see what's wrong. The system.log keeps saying:

23:14:05.062 [script.err] [error] Script Error in data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.txt, at line 501, column 1
Couldn't find region name 'zzz_Province' in stringtable
23:14:05.921 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

I tried as many things as I could think of, and nothing. Can anyone bring me out of my miserable state?

[Lusted]

Post the code for your region that you have in descr_regions.tga.

[iudas]

Post the code for your region that you have in descr_regions.tga.

The RGB code? 36 255 255 . I put it in the descr_regions file like it says in the tutorial.
