Thread: Placing Watchtowers or Forts Manually through DescrStrat

    Icon5 Placing Watchtowers or Forts Manually through DescrStrat

    Hello,

    I have reached an unfortunate technical issue with some editing I have been doing to a mod that I have. I am trying to place watchtowers and forts before I start to play my game, so I have a more lively, but very controlled in game map. The issue is I have been following the instructions from here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...uildable-forts

    Paralleling these instructions, I have been comparing them to the Third Age DaC mod, or even the SS6.4 Watchtowers option, to how I would go about inputting these into the descr_strat file

    If I copy the formatting, as it suggests to be correct for no issues, I run into an issue where the map will load with an ERROR message beside the minimap, and the campaign scripts do not fire. If I remove the entry/comment it out, the error goes away, so it points to a formatting error for myself.


    Examples Below:
    ;#######################
    ;##### Watchtowers #####
    ;#######################

    My Additions to SSHIP 0.96 map
    Dublin_Province
    farming_level 0
    famine_threat 0
    watchtower 5 219
    watchtower 8 232

    Third Age: DaC
    region Celduin_Far_Province
    farming_level 0
    famine_threat 0
    watchtower 426 392


    Let me know if you have any way to help, or a really good tutorial page/thread that may clarify what I am missing.

    Regards!

    The most common problem is the region name - check it by using the console's show_cursorstat command.
    The formatting itself requires a TAB between 'watchtower' and the co-ordinates.

    Apart from all that it requires 'region' in front of the region name

    Code:
    region Dublin_Province
    farming_level 0
    famine_threat 0
    watchtower[TAB here]5 219
    watchtower[TAB here]8 232

    Huh, after staring back and forth, back and forth, I missed that key region detail. I did not even catch it when I pasted that example from the other mod :S

    Thank you Gigantus! You are a wonderful and a great support here!
