Nameless Heroes throughout history.

**ImKyleJames** · May 17, 2007, 01:55 PM

I never encountered this possible problem when I played as the Russians, yet in my Portuguese campaign i've noticed quite a few of these nameless heroes.

The problem is this, many times now durring my crash-plagued Portuguese games I've noticed nameless agents and generals under my command. These men have no names except maybe a colon. Returning to my aforementioned crash crisis it's been getting worse and worse as time wore on. 1 every 20 turns, 1 every 10 turns, and now it's about every turn. I've uninstalled and re-installed MTW and LTC. I've scanned for viruses and also did a repair check on DirectX and began another Port. Game. Only thing I can imagine is that these nameless peoples are giving me problems. Like, if character "blank" moves to spot x3,y6 and character "blank" sieges a castle at spot x6,y9 and when the AI handles these things, these same named peoples, it crashes. ? Sound right? I don't know for sure but this is a problem nevertheless.

Thanks,

It's just some character names showing up blank. Shouldn't cause any problems as you can already have 2 generals with the same name and that doesn't cause problems.

I'm in the process of fixing the Portuguese names list right now. I know what the problem is, so it won't be a big deal. Anyway, these "no-names" won't cause a crash, so it's likely another issue. Sorry for the inconvenience...

P.S. Again, since the names were developed outside of the LTC forum, I ask that problems with names be reported to me so that I know about them as soon as possible. Please post names issues here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=95338

Also, when I am done make some corrections and additions, I will release an add-on for LTC which will take care of the known issues.

You may want to run some diagnostic tools on your hardware components especially on the memory modules. Faulty hardware can cause all kinds of interesting behavior. Had this same issue years ago with a different game and the culprit was one of my memory modules. Only one game was crashing, so everything else was fine. However, when I ran the diagnostic tools they found that the memory was busted. I replaced it and everyting was fine.

Is there anyway of removing the Naming Mod? I run into the blank generals a lot and it ruins the immersion for me.

No, since Lusted's descr_strat.txt uses custom names now. However, depending on how prevelent the problem is (which it doesn't seem to be considering how many thousands of people have been using it), he may decide on leaving out the CNP in the next release and leave it up to me to offer an independent add-on. So far it seems the Portuguese names are the main culprit. I have already fixed this, though I haven't released an update yet.

Now, the best thing to do is for anyone who has had problems to report them to me here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=95338 so that I may fix the them.
