'faction not listed in playable/nonplayable header'
I've been working on a personal mod, launched through a BI.exe mod switch, and I've come across an odd problem with a custom faction ('boii'), one that seems to be pretty rare. The faction does not show up in the campaign menu selection screen even though 1) all of the symbols and icons are in the right places 2) there are only 20 factions listed as playable, and 3) the new faction works in custom battles.
When I attempt to start the campaign with any other faction I get a KTM and the following error:
'Script error in [mod name]\data\world\maps\campaign\barbarian_invasion\descr.txt at line 2569, column 12: faction boii not listed in playable/nonplayable header'
This is strange as they are listed:
I really don't understand why they don't show up at all on the campaign menu, however, as every other faction (except for rebels, obviously) is there.Code:campaign imperial_campaign playable romans_julii romans_brutii romans_scipii boii egypt seleucid carthage parthia gauls germans britons greek_cities macedon pontus armenia dacia numidia scythia spain thrace end unlockable end nonplayable slave end
What's even more strange is that line 2569 is blank (so no 'column 12') and this the relevant faction information from line 2570 onwards:
To eliminate some likely problems:Code:faction boii, religious smith denari 7000 settlement { level large_town region Boihaemum year_founded 0 population 4000 plan_set default_set faction_creator boii building { type core_building governors_villa } building { type defenses wooden_wall } building { type barracks muster_field } building { type equestrian stables } building { type hinterland_farms farms } building { type missiles practice_field } } character Amminos, named character, leader, age 52, , x 111, y 113 traits GoodCommander 2 , Intelligent 2 , Austere 1 , PublicFaith 1 ancillaries bard, civilized_slave army unit barb chieftain cavalry early gaul exp 2 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit warband sword gaul exp 1 armour 1 weapon_lvl 1 unit warband sword gaul exp 1 armour 1 weapon_lvl 1 unit barb naked fanatics gauls exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit barb cavalry gaul exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 unit barb cavalry gaul exp 1 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 character Eporedorix, named character, heir, age 20, , x 110, y 112 traits NaturalMilitarySkill 2 , Intelligent 1 , Energetic 1 , Drink 1 ancillaries beastmaster army unit barb chieftain cavalry early gaul exp 2 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0 character_record Bolgios, male, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 14, alive, never_a_leader character_record Barita, female, command 0, influence 0, management 0, subterfuge 0, age 52, alive, never_a_leader relative Amminos, Barita, Eporedorix, Bolgios, end relative Eporedorix, end
1) The coordinates x 111, y 113 are for Lovosice and should be fine.
2) This faction replaces romans_senate but I have purged all relevant references to the senate faction (ie, there is no senate tab and no senate offices button as romans_julli - the other two roman factions are now modded greek factions). If I comment out boii and their faction details in descr_strat.txt, the game runs fine so it doesn't seem like a problem with the senate or senate faction slot itself unless I have missed something. I can even play them in custom battles just fine, with all of the units, textures, names, ui, etc that I added for them.
3) The faction is essentially a clone of gauls - names, units, buildings, ui etc - to get it into the game so it shouldn't be a missing unit, building, or name (and the error doesn't suggest that). The units should be fine, they're all correctly associated in the EDU.
4) The descr_sm_factions.txt is correct as far as I can work out (with some placeholder data) but this is presumably where descr_strat.txt should be drawing from:
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them, it seems like a really unusual error. This is the first error I've had making my personal mod that I haven't been to resolve.Code:faction boii culture barbarian symbol models_strat/symbol_alemanni.CAS rebel_symbol models_strat/symbol_barb_rebel.CAS primary_colour red 56, green 80, blue 90 secondary_colour red 166, green 20, blue 23 loading_logo loading_screen/symbols/symbol128_alemanni.tga standard_index 3 logo_index 232 small_logo_index 244 triumph_value 5 intro_movie fmv/intros/barbarian_intro_640x480_bars.wmv victory_movie fmv/victory/barbarian_outro_320x240.wmv defeat_movie fmv/lose/gauls_eliminated.wmv death_movie fmv/death/death_gaul_snow_320x240.wmv custom_battle_availability yes can_sap no prefers_naval_invasions no
