@Gigantus
Can you please say a correction link or a solution for the mongol halberd militia? on main thread ı tried to fix with descr character file, ı threw it into the data file, but it didn't fix it

[Gigantus]

I am afraid you will have to describe the issue in more detail - I have no idea what you mean.

@Gigantus
Kingdoms grand campaign Mongol halberd militia looks silver, is there solution to that? there's a fix for it but it didn't work

[Gigantus]

The faction texture entries in the model entry for ME_Halberd_Militia are all present for the mongol faction in fact they use the timurid textures (even though there are mongol texture).

7 mongols 
88 unit_models/_Units/ME_Light_Mail_Heavy_Mail/textures/mtw2_ME_light_mail_timurids.texture 
86 unit_models/_Units/ME_Light_Mail_Heavy_Mail/textures/mtw2_ME_light_mail_normal.texture 
55 unit_sprites/timurids_ME_Halberd_Militia_ug1_sprite.spr

These are packed, default files so I think the problem lies somewhere else. Maybe a spawned, similar unit?

Hi, Gigantus,

Best mod ever, thank you very much!

I tried to add Jerusalem into the vanilla Kingdom grand campaign utilizing your mod. My approach is to first replace your data\world\maps files with the original ones, then try to add Jerusalem into the campaign. After correcting all settlement name issues raised by the log, I ended up where I could successfully enter the program, and choose factions. But once the game started to load, the program didn't CTD, just went back to the main menu. No error message in the log.

I'm wondering if you may know what causes it and how I could fix it. Please see the log. Could't be more thankful for your help!

The secret is to look for [error]

There are number of entries but none that are fatal (still recommended to fix them), except this one:

12:16:52.746 [script.err] [error] Script Error in mods/KGCM/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/descr_strat.txt, at line 2464, column 43
could not find next child. Children list must be terminated with an end

After that the log goes into it's famous 'backdrop' loop for while (4500 lines). I am assuming it has do with the family tree of your new faction, do fix the issue and then try again. As a rule of thumb: crash to menu (CTM) is nearly always related to an error in descr_strat.

[Deutsche Orden]

Thanks a lot! After some efforts, it finally works.

Another issue is when I tried to add low level units back into the export_descr_buildings file, old save just CTD. It seems that vanilla version doesn't have this issue. Wonder if you know the reason.

Again, really grateful for your help

Best

[Gigantus]

Could be several reasons, a simple typo is enough. Are those units present in the EDU?

[Deutsche Orden]

Yes, they do. They are existing units for the same country. I don't think it's typo. It works fine for new campaign, just not for those saved ones.

[Gigantus]

Then I guess we will have to assume that for some reason this edit falls into the 'not save game compatible' category like changes in the map, descr_strat and the script.

So I just did a clean install of the game off steam. Definitive edition, downloaded the mod, default launcher location. Campaign UI looks fine, but the battle UI is completely broken. What exactly do I do to fix?

[Gigantus]

That's surprising, I included the block graphics fix in the download which should have taken of this issue. Maybe something went wrong with that part during installation: apply the fix manually and see if that helps.

[NiteShade]

Yup that fixed it.

[sullivanclan1]

Gigantus... Can you help me with what the problem is?

[Gigantus]

Something is seriously wrong with your installation. Haven't seen that many errors in a long time.

Delete the mods\kgcm directory manually and then re-install.

[sullivanclan1]

I got it to work! Thanks for your help!

Hello! I'm having fun with this mod and I think it's a great job but I have a question with buildings. The construction cost and time is a lot for me, especially improving walls, I am also seeing that some factions do not manage to improve their walls, is that ok?

[zercopiteco]

If that's the bad thing about this mod, recruiting and building should be like vanilla. I tried to change Export_Descr_Buildings but I find it very complicated lol,In addition, certain units do not appear to recruit or disappear when you upgrade the building.

Amazing, i remember this mod back in the day i was a tester for Dave.
Last year i came back in april but all download links had dead by then so I was unable to play it again, never thought that going back here today for memory could lead me to a steam version.
Thank you very much Gigantus
