Hi,
I tried to add 2 new factions (flanders and jerusalem) at once and respecting this turtorial and any other tipps to add factions. I get no ctds or error in my log, but I cant see my new factions in custom or campain (Im aware only 21 factions can be displayed in custom battles, so I made mongols and timurids inactive)
Maybe looking at the log gives you an idea.

I have the same problem when I try to start Factions Template, just cant see any new factions.

Thanks for helping

[EDIT]

actually they work only the symbosl are invisible. I took it from flanders mod there are only 24 tag files, he forgot the 48 files. Now I have "Could not open UI! Vid mem 224837376" when opening a battle, doesnt matter which faction or which unit.

**Rammstein** · May 31, 2007, 07:42 AM

fixed it again the Could not open UI! Vid mem 224837376 was because I had no modpage1.tga. Why is this so important?

Looks like you were right, though I've yet to work out which textures and where they are.

it's usually strat map textures....these don't work from a mod folder as of yet so make sure if you've made new strat textures for generals, captains and such you have them in the data/models_strat/textures folder or something like that

The one of Alpaca

You can get it here:

The tutorial is here:

But, I am pretty certain it is what you used

I've not added any new textures, I'm just using the ones for poland at the moment. I'll double check my references though

Hi,
Im searching for the error but the log isnt helping me much maybe someone knows what this could mean. I think it has something to do with model_strat.txt but I cant find the error there, since he takes 2 seconds before crashing it seems its the file he loads after model_strat.txt. This happens when Im loading campain.

**J@mes** · June 12, 2007, 04:00 AM

Would this be a good tutorial for adding the Saxons?

**Rammstein** · June 15, 2007, 04:13 PM

A very usefull thing would be a zip file containg all the files needed for adding new factions of this turtorial. Inserting a test faction that can be easily changed.

**The Acklay** · June 28, 2007, 11:49 PM

I seem to get a fatal error when I start the game with my new faction anyone have a guess on what I've done wronge

**J@mes** · July 21, 2007, 05:20 PM

can i follow this tutorial to create a more active rebel faction? i mean clone the rebels but as a major faction.

**SigniferOne** · August 15, 2007, 12:39 AM

Thanks for the tutorial, this thing is awesome, and 100% correct.

**Gogosheritzu** · September 13, 2007, 09:45 AM

Hi,

This is my first post on twcenter.net. Congratulations, Duke of Serbia for your tutorial! I liked your idea so much that I tried myself to create a faction. I followed step by step the instructions, but my faction wouldn't appear in the Grand Campaign Menu. Even more, when I try starting a campaign with another faction, I'm being sent back at the mission chooser menu. Please, help me! What did I do wrong??

**SigniferOne** · September 13, 2007, 05:21 PM

Be sure to check the error log, and report the problems you have in there. The error log is the most important debugging tool to help you.

**Gogosheritzu** · September 14, 2007, 06:39 AM

Hi,
Thank you very much SigniferOne for your advice. Now, I opened the system.log and there were a lot of things that I couldn't understand. So, please, can anyone tell what this is all about?? Here is the system log file I was talking about.

Will this tutorial be updated so we can add factions from kingdoms into the grand camapaign? will any file from kingdoms need to be copyed into the main medieval II directory.

I got Ireland working too as a faction using this tutorial, very nice! Where it says copy existing tga's etc (or create your own) I just copied the data from the Brittania campaign into the mod folder. Took a while to get it all working.

I have two problems now:

1. My Faction Leader and Faction Heir are in the sea when the game starts...I don't know how to get the console up (somewhere here it says use ~ but that does nothing in my game, nor does Shift~ or a number of combinations of ~ and other keys!). - fixed by locating co-ords of rebel army that used to hold dublin and adding that into the location of the Leader and heir. Unfortunately i still have no idea of how to access the console.

2. When I click on the Diplomacy button I get a crash. No idea where to start with this one as I don't recall modding anything that mentioned diplomacy except when adding diplomat to my roster. But this is the faction diplomacy screen not the Diplomats screen. Any ideas?

Still same issue, I have no idea where to look. Crash when clicking on Diplomacy Tab.

Here's the log:
