Thread: No startpos. Esf file, no matter what I try !

    Icon8 No startpos. Esf file, no matter what I try !

    Hi folks !
    I just start modding and Im already encountering a major problem...
    I can't create any startpos file no matter what i try.
    Ak is working fine and Bob never displays any error whatsoever.
    I can generate all files EXCEPT startpos. Esf... Why ?
    I also tried every possible workaround (launch the game while bob is processing the data, reinstall both AK and game, change the AK version to beta 17 etc....)but it's no use.
    I have read all thread about this problem but nobody seems to encounter mine.
    I cannot mod anything without this file, what did I miss ?

    Thanks in advance

    there is guide for AK:
    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...mbly-Kit-Guide

    Remember to keep back-up of AK folders (retail,working,raw) for after every mod you want to start from fresh and installation is keeping all changes. AK has non-working option to roll back into default state..

    Have to tried first to do just some minor or no changes to startpos? Just let the AK build default one? I would start with that.. Anyway, you need Tweak to export all data, so hit not only export table but even export binaries in case of messing with startpos..

    And lastly you need to mark in BOB that you want startpos file to be generated...

    It works. Thank you so much for your prompt answers guys. hope all the people having the same problem and seeing this thread will solve the problem.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but does this mean that CA has released a tool that is not working?

    It had worked, but with the last big patches something was broken. There are working on repairing this, but i gues it will be released together with the new tw launcher.
