Critical CTD - afraid it's the fatal nail in the coffin

[Sirlion]

I used GeoMod to make regions. Everything seemed straightforward. I have adjusted borders, made new names and arranged cities and ports and everything for hours and hours after testing each new two or three regions for them to work properly. It all seemed ok until I decided to save and quit and have a last backup. I did so.
Now, I decided to test the campaign after that backup. The game... crashes as soon as I select a faction.

Here's what the log has to say:

23:46:08.364 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/RotE/data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.txt, at line 1284, column 1
Couldn't find region name 'Malmò_r' in stringtable
23:46:11.853 [system.rpt] [error] Uh oh. This isn't good. No idea why, but exiting now. Sorry pal.

Now... this is completely false because in imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt.strings the string is present. Malmò is listed.

I tried loading the map in GeoMod again after this error - it loaded fine before and saved everything correctly when I closed it - only for me to find this error




So what do I do? I change the name of the region and settlement and use a normal "o", and so I make in the stringtable as well.

This is the result



No dice in game as well.

23:53:46.137 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/RotE/data/world/maps/base/descr_regions.txt, at line 1, column 1
Couldn't find region name '' in stringtable
23:53:49.619 [system.rpt] [error] Uh oh. This isn't good. No idea why, but exiting now. Sorry pal.

Now.... if my suspicions are correct I'm basically done for and I should remake everything again. Which is a big No and in that case our good friend Gigantus can pull my mod out of the hosted mods entirely because I wont do all that work again ever.

I'm eagerly awaiting my Christmas death sentence modding wise. Just tell me how much I am losing here.

[Gigantus]

It will appear you broke one of the cardinal rules: never use special characters inside the curly brackets.

Upload your descr_regions.txt, descr_strat.txt, text\imperial_campaign_regions_and_settlement_names.txt and string.bin files - there seems to be some hidden formatting left even after you replaced the special character. My bet - either descr_strat or descr_regions going by the game's log.

You should be able to sort out the issue manually. Use the BinEditor (in Geomod folder: ...\Medieval II Total War\tools\Geomod) - to 'open' the string.bin version of imperial_campaign_regions..., then retype the entry. 'Export' the file as TXT and then 'save' as STRING.BIN - the editor will remove any hidden formatting.

1 = the entry in curly brackets, do not use special_characters!!
2 = the display entry, do whatever you want here

Note - make sure the entry in field 1 agrees with the entry in descr_regions and descr_strat

[Sirlion]

Sorted it out thanks. I'll never touch anything with an accent mark ever again

[Gigantus]

Glad you got it sorted, just keep it in mind next time you work with those text files in the data\text folder.

[Sirlion]

Well well, what a surprise, it's me again! Happy new year Gigantus. Mind if I keep this thread alive for a little while longer? I feel like I'll need it.

The game refuses to compile the Campaign Map.

This time GeoMod is not complaining, it lets me edit all settlements, see and manage ports and borders etc, no problem, it even lets me save correctly. The debugger doesnt complain either. all seems good. Then in game the campaign doesnt load and I am presented with this swarm of errors in the log file

could not create settlement at script line 3212.

Note that some of the lines the error log is mentioning dont even contain settlements in them, just closed brackets.
... again I'm in the dark. Every little step seems absurdly tedious to me.

The building level issues are not fatal but you should attend to them - it's a mismatch between the level and the core building.

settlement
{
    level city
    region Novgorod_Province


    year_founded 0
    population 4000
    plan_set default_set
    faction_creator russia
    building
    {
        type core_building stone_wall
    }

For the fatal error (line 3212) I would need to have a look at the descr_strat file - this looks to me like some formatting error anyhow.

Edit: using Ctlr+G let's you enter the line number

Thanks, I have solved both issues. Everything is working well (for now)

[Gigantus]

What caused the problem, or what did you do to solve it?

[Sirlion]

Since I had several issues more after that, I dont recall with precision. Certainly the core building problem was as you said, a very simple one. I have changed the core buildings entirely since then so it doesnt really apply to the current version of the mod. Regardless, the second problem was related to a region duplicate. For some odd reason, up until that point the engine considered both regions to be the same and didnt give me any warnings or errors. I have been working on the rest of the campaign map without issues for about a full month after the accidental duplication. I have no idea why this happened.
The only indication of it, and the one red flag that gave me the hint as to where to look, was the continuous assumption by the engine that the settlement in that region was owned by the faction "slaves" despite me assigning the right one.

That's a good one

That's why I love the Geomod tool - when coming across weird stuff I use it to 'verify' all regions, family trees and win conditions. Duplicate regions get picked up, as well as duplicated colours (easy error when doing copy\paste)
