Might Release a Quick Fix

[The Black Reaper]

Hmm i think I've released this before... idk i forgot but i reinstalled TE and am thinking of making a quick fix to fix the CTD problem when you stretch out your unit in battle....

Lusted if you read this is it ok for me to release this quick fix?? no new skins or anything just a new descr_formations.txt and any other .txt that needs to be fixed...

[Turk]

Can you fix some other bugs?
I get CTD after beginning a battle on battle map

btw,pm lusted

[The Black Reaper]

any error message when that happens??? does it CTD at the end of the loading screen?? i need more info and then i can see what i can do... but first your right i should pm Lusted first...

[Turk]

If this happens again i will post it(i deleted already the save-game with this ctd)

I do have permission from Lusted back in November before I went crazy M2TW. Since the old video card can only do so much, I'm back.
Looking at the 5.1 bug list, I can fix the Antioch road problem easy. I can get the intro movies working, but will just generically match Bactria and Epirus. Might even get Spain to build ships. I have no skills at movies or sound but I'd give other things a go.

Edit: Hopefully with Lusted's blessing, I uploaded a fixed descr_strat.txt at http://hosted.filefront.com/irishron for the two road problem in Antioch. Any other problems, please list them.

i got permission from lusted and its alright to release a hotfix for this but it must only be edited files nothing unchanged from either 5.0 or 5.1.... pls since this is a bug fixing problem pls post in the bug issues thread now so we can keep it organized... if theres a lot of bugs then maybe in a 3-4 weeks will take because of trying to find why it occurs and trying to play test and see if it happens.... alright and irishron thats good that you can fix the stuff you said.. itll be easier to hunt out the bugs with more ppl...

[irishron]

I just uploaded descr_sm_factions.txt to http://hosted.filefront.com/irishron. This makes all intro movies playable. I changed Brutii and Scipii movies as Greek they are listed in the culture settings. Personally I think Scipii/Bactria should be Eastern culture as where thy are on the map.
I changes the prefers_naval_invasion from no to yes for Spain to hopefully make it build ships. Might have start anew campaign to see this one. If not let me know and I'll try something else.

Edit: Going through the 5.1 buglist, besides the one above, here are a few other things found.
In post #16, it mentios a Carthaginian garrion outside Gadir I don't see so I assume it's fixed unless somebody can give me coordinates.
In post #27, in Tribus Legae being missing. It is listed in the descr_regions.txt and the descr_strat.txt with a garrison. Since it shows up on the campaign map, I assume it's fixed.
In post #58, Egyptian Royal Cavaly Stables is missing cards. They are available my filefront url above. They are the Roman ones renamed.
About everything else down to #58 is being considered by Lusted and Hader as a CA or a Darth problem.

[The Black Reaper]

the hotfix is done on my end with the formations... edited the new darth formations and edited them a little bit to be compatible with TE.. i need to ask him though before i release it... also irishiron pls send me your fixes so i can compile and release all in one

[irishron]

@ Count Flip,
I put my fixed files on http://hosted.filefront.com/irishron for anybody who wishes to use them including you in the "quick fix". They are the only files I uploaded. Feel free to use them or pm me with an email address. This place has an aversion to adding attatchments (files) to pm's.

[The Black Reaper]

ill download all of em put them in a hot fix and upload it later tonight..

i like the fix but i was wondering if your allowed to do this for the romans the imperial heavy legion cohort shouldn't be only buildable in italy but in some areas like gaul and spain kinda get my picture maybe like 2 or 3 cities can train them in several areas and for the preatorians i think they should be trained only if a family member is in a large city maybe a general but i think family member would be better. Please excuse my grammer aswell.

[irishron]

The cohorts can be done using hidden resources but as my understanding of the agreement with Lusted, this would be considered an enhancementrather than a fix. If you want to try your hand at modding the export_descr_buildings.txt, I wish you luck. Use the other entries as examples. The praetorians with a hereditary trait, I don't know if that is doable.

I don`t remember if this has been fixed or not.(the thread was deleted I think as I can`t find it anymore). There were a couple of units in a rebel army in Crimea that were coded incorrectly in descr_strat(a wrong name). It is easy to spot them if you send a spy there. They have peasant UI.

<a href="http://files.filefront.com/7342474" title="Warband_Cards.rar">Warband_Cards.rar</a> This will add the missing cards. Just follow the readme and it should work as advertized.

You may want to give instructions or include the folders, the ui\units\slave and ui\units info\slave folders do not exist unless you create them (if you have a fresh clean install of RTW/BI and have installed TE directly over it).

In post #58, Egyptian Royal Cavaly Stables is missing cards. They are available my filefront url above. They are the Roman ones renamed.

That's strange, I have 5.1 installed the the Egyptian Royal Cav Stables images from your filefront location are already in my TE 5.1 UI folder...



@irishron and Count Flip

Can we get a hotfix that compiles all your fixes into one easy download?

[The Black Reaper]

irishiron has my permission to get my small hotfix and compile it in one dl if he likes... ive deleted TE off my comp for different reasons and 1 is to try and install a copy of M2TW on here... to bad my comp is really old and hasnt been upgraded in a few years but its worth a try

Good luck, M2TW totally kicks ass, way moreso than RTW (though I still love RTW dearly). I had to upgrade my video card and get another gig of RAM to run M2TW to my tastes, too.

Actually, I think your hotfix is probably all that is needed. All but one of the thinks irishiron mentioned seem already fixed by 5.1 from what I can tell, except those missing warband UI cards (which is a minor thing).

[Ven0m1985]

There is a sound problem whenever romans go against epirus or bactria they referred to them as scippi or bruti they should be called greeks as a fix.

[florin80]

From what I see the problem with the warbands has not been fixed(contradict me if otherwise).

The problem is as follows:
In this army there are two units(in red) that have not been codded in correctly:

;Taurica
character	sub_faction scythia, Atheas, general, age 20, , x 176, y 156
army
unit		te merc sarmatian cavalry				exp 5 armour 1 weapon_lvl 2
unit		te merc sarmatian cavalry				exp 5 armour 1 weapon_lvl 2
unit		te merc sarmatian cavalry				exp 5 armour 1 weapon_lvl 2
unit		te merc sarmatian cavalry				exp 5 armour 1 weapon_lvl 2
unit		te barb infantry				exp 3 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit		te barb infantry				exp 3 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
unit		te barb horse archers				exp 5 armour 0 weapon_lvl 1
unit		te barb horse archers				exp 5 armour 0 weapon_lvl 1
unit		te barb horse archers				exp 5 armour 0 weapon_lvl 1

There should have been te barb infantry slave, not te barb infantry. I`m gonna install it to check again.

EDIT: yes, I have checked. The entry used in Terrae Expegnandae v5.1(in descr_strat) is te barb infatry, but that EDU entry doesn`t have slave at ownership and is not a merc unit either. The slave unit is te barb infantry slave. That is why ingame the UI were not displaying correctly.
Now, from what I see the hotfix that was released doesn`t contain a descr_strat file so I guess this problem was not rectified.

[The Black Reaper]

the only thing the hotfix fixes is the dragging ctd that happens when making units wider or shorter, this was not addressed because its just a minor bug and is just a minor annoyance
