ah crap! for some reason the game's crashing. i did unpack_all. and so there were loads of stuff created in C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data.
there i deleted two geography things. and in kgcm data, there was only descr_geography_new.db. there wasn't txt one. so i still deleted it (i did make back ups for all of them). but the game crashed. i tried every single combination i can think of but it still crashed! what should i do?

I am afraid that it unpacked the pack files for M2TW not Kingdoms. The only thing I can think of at this time, except for an uninstall is to change your medieval2.preference.cfg file to contain this code:

Code:

[io]
file_first = true
disable_file_cache = true

Check to make sure that the cfg of KGCM also contains this code at the beginning.

Glad to be of service, but I was getting concerned for a while. I have got to get some sleep, I will check in the morning. If you have anymore problems, please post.

Happy campaigning!

Oops! Try this post to get the cows flying again. But please make a backup copy of your file in case something goes wrong. :whistling

For those who want seige engines with cows

Since you already have fire enabled, just change the lines in the export_descr_unit.txt pertaining to the cow. Do not replace the file like it states in the first lines or you will not have flaming arrows!

Upon further research you will have to modify the descr_projectile.txt file to include these lines (the ones in red):

Code:

;area_effect				ae_small_cannon_shot
damage			10
damage_to_troops 10
radius			0.3
mass			4.5
area			2.0
accuracy_vs_units		0.055
accuracy_vs_buildings	0.055
accuracy_vs_towers      0.025 
min_angle		-15
max_angle		30
velocity		90
;ground_shatter
bounce			0.01 0.01 0.93 0.5
body_piercing

;effect_only
; Stuck model not used at the mo, shatter effect is better, but adding some shatter debris for ground impact would be good?

Re: KGCM Patch 4.2 (Hotfix released 19/10/09)

hmm sorry guys for bugging you again

but the game's keep crashing whenever I try to enter the battle. in custom battle, it doesn't crash. but during grand campaign, i was trying to capture a settlement and i wanted to fight on a map but the game crashed while loading. it says it encountered an unspecified error and will exist. i did change the export_descr_units to add the cow carcass thing and i checked the descr_projectile and it already had a stuff about cow carcass so i left it.

I'm a bit short on time- Did you make a back up? If yes, then just put them back and redo as per the instructions

As Magefsx inquired, did you make a backup of your export_descr_unit.txt before you made edits? Is so place the backup in the folder and see if you can eliminate the crash. If this removes the error then the problem is in your edits.

I would just uninstall KGCM and delete the kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod/data folder.

Then reinstall the mod and it will function again normally.

Do I need to install Version 1.5 of Kingdoms before I can play this mod?

I cannot remember if it is required or not but it is highly recommended at least. The patch for Kingdoms was greatlly anticipated and fixed a number of errors and unusable features for the game. If you do not patch to v1.05 then expect at least some errors and inconsistant game play.

Kesl · Jan 4, 2011

Re: KGCM Patch 4.2 (Hotfix released 19/10/09)

Thanks for the information mate. I've already download and install version 1.5 just in case.

Re: KGCM Patch 4.2 (Hotfix released 19/10/09)

I almost forget to ask you this, do I need to unpack off my files for the main game before I start?

No, dont do it! unpack the files and the mod will crash at the battle loading screen.

Kesl · Jan 5, 2011

Re: KGCM Patch 4.2 (Hotfix released 19/10/09)

Good I have not unpack any files but I am having trouble with installing it. I got Kingdoms with version 1.5 install but Grand Kingdoms Campaign 3.0 won't install. I think it said I need kingdoms running or something. Another thing it makes my laptop slow every-time I click it.

Will Kingdoms run without the mod?

Yes.

Re: KGCM Patch 4.2 (Hotfix released 19/10/09)

Really all I want is to have Wales and Ireland in the game along with other factions from the main.

Please provide the exact error message that you are receiving.

Re: KGCM Patch 4.2 (Hotfix released 19/10/09)

I am planning to get more powerful laptops in the coming weeks. My current one is good enough to run the game. If I wait and try it on my future laptop to see if I have any problems with it, then I will report to you.

Re: KGCM Patch 4.2 (Hotfix released 19/10/09)

Sorry I still can't find the no garrison script, is it the attached file at the bottom of the first post, the campaign text one? I tried putting it into the folder as said but I still got the crazy garrisons

The 'no garrison' script is at the bottom of this post (#1) and is named campaign_script.txt.

Link to 'no garrison' script
The no garrison script is not save game compatible. You will have to start a new campaign for it to work.

thanks for the link

I copied the file into the folder but it had no effect. I also tried deleting the original campaign text file and leaving the new one in but still the same

I'm not sure what I've done wrong, I feel like such an idiot

Re: KGCM Patch 4.2 (Hotfix released 19/10/09)

"You will have to start a new campaign for it to work." (not wanting to sound rude)
That should be the only reason why no effect has taken place

I did, but still no luck

I'm going to reinstall the whole mod, maybe I messed something up previously as I'm sure I did the last part right. Back in an hour or two, wish me luck!
