Bugs and issues

[Honos]

double post. sorry.

hmm, sounds a bit like you haven't actually got eod installed over the re-named copy of bi properly (though that isn't the message you get for completely forgetting to copy the BI folder...

have a look at folder names - what you should end up with is exactly the same as original installation except that the bi folder now has eod folder inside it - if you've got an 'e0d' folder or 'copy of bi' still it might give some clue as to what you got wrong.

It's probably best to go through process again, step by step I'm afraid - it does definitely work if done carefully.

If you do it again you will have another copy of BI/eod inside itself that won't matter apart from taking up a bit extra disc space.

Once you've got it working you can delete bi/eod/eod folder,

I'm hesitant to suggest deleting anything just yet incase you've done something that would effect original game.....

Yeh, we are going to release a patch with everything that has been reported asap. i just need to make time to sort a few things out.

Mak take a look in the dev forum. woof woof.

The vanilla BI animation file has a crossbow animation, perhaps not as elaborate as the Chivalry one, but it works, and since I doubt you took anything out of the anim pack, it should still be there.

Yeah spotted now, dunce here managed to copy the BI crossbow unit that had wrong animation in first place.

A question there: Can't you make it that I can train the lower troops in higher barracks? I really miss it. Not much sense in sending an army to conquer a city and then you have lots of half-destroyed units that you can't retrain. And I miss the high numbers of soldiers.

Ah, but then you would be facing full stacks of crappy units later in the game, with our system the enemy factions will be sending better armies into battle as time progresses..

i have 2 problems when i go to start a main campaign it says " Please Select a Item from the list." and it is the same in the provincial campaign.

The second problem is that when I abort the game it says "Script error in bi/eod/data/world/maps/campaign/barbarian_invasion/descr_strat.txt at line 14 colum1. expected start date of campaign or battle"

I have no clue what they mean but i would deeply like some assistance.

[makanyane]

I can't remember the likely cause of that one off hand - I suspect it might be that you weren't actually patched to version 1.6 - please start your normal BI game, go into 'options' - look at top right hand corner, if it says 1.4 you need to apply CA's 1.6 patch before installing EOD.


its either that one - or you didn't copy and move the BI folder as explained in the install instructions before installing EoD

please check those two possibilities and try re-installing EoD onto a fresh copy of the BI folder as explained in the instructions

Edit: Oh and welcome to the forums

[Josh00]

Ok now it working i just put on the patch and its working thank u so much i really want to play this.

[ljuboja]

i tried downloading the mod but everytime i do on my download manager it says download stopped because of invalid username or password, what do i do?

[Halie Satanus]

Did you try the other link?? (filemonster)

[ljuboja]

i tried both

[makanyane]

I think the problem might be your end I'm afraid I just checked filefront and that seems to be behaving itself for me. You said 'download manager' have you installed some extra software for downloads / are you trying to download via an ftp client (I don't think that would work) ?

[ljuboja]

i have no idea what that meant

[makanyane]

it means I think the problem is with the software on your computer. Neither Filefront or Filemonster require a username or password to download!

You could try asking in the basement to see if anyone can give more advice.

If you can name an upload site that you know you can use without problems I don't mind putting a version of the mod there, but I don't really want to upload 200MB of something for the hell of it if you are likely to have the same problem again (my internet provider already doesn't like me )

[Halie Satanus]

i have no idea what that meant

Yeh, Mak does that to me a lot as well...

Is there a possibility that your computer needs a password for you to download files from the net??, ie; does someone else have administrator permissions set up, you parents maybe??..I can't download files to my work computer without logging in as administrator...

[ljuboja]

no because i already got TTW, FATW, EB and N2TW

they dont need passwords, the same happened with chivTW, whenever i download off the site megaupload of filefront, it stops me

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

i had no problem, and i only down loaded a couple of days ago and ive been downloading lots of mods recently all from either megaupload or filefront.
and ive had no problems at all.

I found a bug. When I captured the Hell Mouth the music played choopy and I think the video was also choppy.

Will have to start a new campaign as Satanae and capture it again to check.

So far, I had only 1 CTD, but that occurs sometimes in vanilla RTW-BI etc, it is just my old compooter Mobo that I have. I have 3GB RAM (DDR1 of course), good HD's, DVD/CD-ROM drives, but the Mobo is an old Acer that is actually still good but only supports AGP 2x or 4x, I forget, and my graphics card is a NVIDIA FX5200 that works fine for games upto and including BFME2-RoTWK, so I do get occasional CTD's but I save games once or twice or more per turn. CPU is a 2.5GHz Northwood P4 OC'd to 2.8GHz, and it runs like a champ, very good.

I should get my newer compooter up and running again with 3.8GHz P4 Presscott core I think with 1 or 2 MB of cache memory and HThreading, 4GB DDR2 (600MHz), and a newer Intel Mobo, and for me this smokes just fine. In some older games the sprites move too fast, very funny. Have a NVIDIA PCI-E PX6800 TDH with 256MB DDR1 RAM and it is nearly as good as if it had DDR2RAM according to tests. Don't need Dual or Duo Core yet, but it's fun to fiddle with things. This system is very fast as is actually.

Sorry to ramble, but older Mobos can cause problems even when upgraded due to their older BIOS that can only be upgraded to the patches the maufacturers release. MY old 2002 Acer Mobo has the most recent BIOS upgrade and that is year 2002 upgrade, so ...

I think older Mobos may even cause download problems, may have to alter security setting in the BIOS and Antivirus software definitely can mess-up downloads.

Best to have a Router, a Buffalo brand is good, to provide a hard firewall, and use stock Windows XP Firewall and that will stop most Viruses and allow downloads. Can set full access on Router and stock WinXP firewall for Download sites you trust if you want to.

At some download sites you have to register and even buy an account, and I don't buy accounts for downloads. I also cannot download anything from megaupload so i don't use it. I use Filefont or likes at Modding sites to download and had no problem with EoD.

BTW, the Papal Council of 670AD in Lyons has determined that Compooters are the work of Satan. Beware.

I found a bug. When I captured the Hell Mouth the music played choopy and I think the video was also choppy.

Pretty sure that's not a bug, I've seen the video and it runs fine. I did have the same problem when i first bought RTW, i upgraded my graphics card and it works fine now, but it was as you describe it, choppy. Even though i could run 3dsmax and have music playing in the bg with no problem, i guess the game +running a video is a big drain on some systems. Aside from that, we didn't change the video only the text.

[christof139]

Oh, OK, thanx for telling me that. I had the game settings set to Miles with 2 speakers (I have only 2-little speakers because that's all I need), and I have an older Creative Labs SB Live 5.1 5-channel sound card that is fine for the sysytem, so I changed the game setting to a CL SB setting. Sound and video cards have the latest drivers. Now I have to see if it happens again.

I will be putting all this on my 'new' compooter eventually anyway, and keeping it off the inet about 90% of the time, using my my older compooter for the inet.

I get CTD's with vanilla RTw-BI also every now and then, and with other games and programs. Some registry cross-up and/or memory lapse or internal Win XP problem most likely is doing this. Have to save an error report, as it is usually the same, some type of system hang-up. Beats me.

I am keeping the older FX5200 graphics card because some people said they had problems runnibg Shogun and METW-1 with newer cards, although I may get a NVIDIA 6200 OC'd card, don't know yet. I still play those 2-classics.

All in all, your game is about flawless, and that is the only blurb/error I have had with it, and we know now it is something with my compooter and not the mod/game.

Thanx for the explanation, Chris
