Hi all, I have recently tried dabbling with modding again but have run into a problem. I am attempting to add a resource to Osumi but the startpos never seems to get created. I think it is some issue with having to create Osumi within the startpos_towns_and_ports + campaign_maps_towns_and_ports locations as I have been successful with provinces which already have an entry. For provinces that already have an entry, maybe this can supplement the excellent tutorials I used by uanime5 which can be found here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?600118 and https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...split-a-region
I am using mod tools with the 2.1 patch and 3DS Max 2010
Here are the steps I have taken.
3DS MAX 2010
Open CS2 file in C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Modding\raw_data\EmpireDesignData\campaign_maps\sho_japan
Cloned the Town in Satsuma
Positioned cloned town in Osumi (Image 1)
Change Object Properties to town:jap_osumi:region_specialty (Image 2)
Hid layers except Settlements.cs2 [ports] , Settlements.cs2 [settlements] , Settlements.cs2 [towns] , Settlements.cs2 [trade nodes]
Export selected as CS2 and replaced settlements.CS2 in C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Modding\raw_data\EmpireDesignData\campaign_maps\sho_japan folder
TWeak
Open TWeak
Go to campaign_map_towns_and_ports
Notice Osumi is missing (Image 3)
Create Osumi with speciality stone and click apply (Image 4)
Go to start_pos_towns_and_ports
Notice Osumi is missing (Image 5)
Create Osumi with stonemason and click apply (Image 6)
BOB Pt 1
Open BOB
select EmpireDesignData/campaign_maps/sho_japan in raw data and click "all" (image 7)
Pressed start
Bob finishes processing successfully
PFM
Put pathfinding and regions .efs' in a pack (Image 8)
Save C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War SHOGUN 2\data
BOB Pt 2
Run BOB again
Select EmpireDesignData/campaigns/jap_shogun in raw data and click "all" (image 9)
Press Start
When Shogun 2 (Steam is running) starts I select the pack I added to data
Failure! Fails to save startpos.esf (Image 10)
Failure thoughts
As I mentioned above, this has been successful with provinces which are already named in TWeak but something about adding new records seems to be causing the issue. I am not even sure why they are missing in the first place (And a handful of other provinces as well) as many other places without specialities have them and listed as a farm instead.
HELP!
Please can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I have not modded in some years and gone to all of the effort of finding a 3DS Max 2010 copy to fail now.
