Announcement: Europa Barbarorum II 2.2r released!

[magnificent walrus]

[log] 
to = mods/ebii/logs/eb.system.log.txt 
level = * trace
#level = * error

This is slightly different from what you've told us to change it to:

[log] 
to = mods/ebii/logs/eb.system.log.txt 
#level = * trace
level = * error

Here's the contents of it, but it's going to be wrong for your setup if you've changed things in your medieval2.preferences.cfg:

There are still minor differences with mine, but it's OK I think. Mine always uses 1's and 0's while I sometimes see true/false elsewhere.
Can I tweak the configuration file in any way I want or would it cause problems? If I add a new line, should I use 0/1 or true/false?
If I want to learn what something does, should I post my question in the how-to thread (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-File-How-To-s), on another thread (Where?), or should I just test it myself?

every 100 turns i like to put toggle_fow to see the map, and i notice in Hadramawt island some weird guy there, is okay to kill him? and "The big guy Gigantus" is some legend in the past or just the guy in the forum?

You can't kill him. One of my top generals went there for a duel to prove himself, but Gigantus is standing on a hill and he couldn't reach him.

Don't copy that part, it's from the dev build where I rarely run more than 10 turns in a row. Trace should be disabled in favour of error.

Whether it's 1/0 or true/false you can only learn by trial and error; some people's machines only work with one, not the other.

He's deliberately placed on an invalid tile, which cannot be reached (it comes up in the error log).

Out of interest, why does he exist? I recall in my Baktria game he got defeated around the time of the first Thorakitai/Thureophoroi reform - is it related to that at all?

Thanks QS for posting your config.sys.

When I compare yours with mine I notice that the line autosave = 0 is under [Game] whereas mine is under [Hotseat].

In my games there are no auto saved files so probably OK Just wondering why they`re are in different places. Any ideas?

[QuintusSertorius]

What does your medieval2.preferences.cfg say under [game]? It may be disabled there.

[jim600]

It is disabled in med2 pref file

[QuintusSertorius]

It is disabled in med2 pref file

Right, so if it's absent in the EBII.cfg and disabled in medieval2.preferences.cfg, then it's disabled in all mods unless their specific config allows it.

[Sar1n]

Remember that .cfg file doesn't list all the options, only overrides. So your .cfg overrides autósave option for hotseat, while QS's has autosave override both in hotseat and game sections.

I get no log files when the game crashes, even when the crash comes with a "compress your log and post on the forum" message. I have the error enabled and trace disabled in my cfg. I've noticed my medieval2 cfg doesn't have any entry concerning logs, could that be the problem?

[jim600]

In reference to #1045 and preceeding posts,

So what I`ve got to recap is -

med2 Pref. No [log] entry at all.
ebii config. I have # at the start of each of the lines including [log]

Is this OK ? Thanks

Only if your medieval2.preferences.cfg has display_error_on_exit = 0 under [misc]

Some people are never able to get mod-specific logs to work, and have to resort to using the M2TW log instead.

If your game runs, then that's an immediate "yes, it's OK", an error in the config will crash without starting.

In order to do that, do I just have to put the [log] section and the display_error _on_exit=1 line into the medieval 2 cfg?

[jim600]

Thankyou QS.
Yes it runs so I`m happy. Can`t wait for 2.3

Nothing of moment in there, there's a big gap between the last trace and crash even. Looks like you ran of out memory from playing a long session.

Did the crash repeat?

One of our newest team members may have found the issue with faction re-emergence wandering all over the place.

Meanwhile Lugiones are processing their turn:
