sweet man, going to try it out now....if I don't come back soon it means all is well. :-)

Ok so far, playing the poles, if you attempt to attack "Ruthenia" on your first move...it crashes the game. The error reported is> Unkown Gpiece Type
(it gives you the option to ignore/retry/abort) (it shuts down regardless)

This is a consistent error for this move. I have saved prior to attacking and tried it again getting the same results.
I hope theres a fix for it.

It appears so far that it has something to do with the Poles themselves.....the Greeks have captured "Ruthenia" and the game didn't crash. It was an AI army. I will continue to test the map to see what other crashes may occure.

I have been testing the other countries to see if any other crashes occur. I'm only on Austria right now but there haven't been any other problems. Is it possible the problem has to do with the "Army" piece and its facing when attack move is made? I have succesfully attacked other surrounding areas with out the game crashing.

Never seen this. I can hardly be of any help if it's due to string translations I'm afraid.

Furthermore I'm on holiday this evening, in a wild internetless area (the kind of thing you only find in France)

Good luck in you testing...

Holy hell, this is amazing. So many territories, and some barbarian scenarios I've never seen on normal CTW...

Hats off!

So then I take it there will be no fixes to the errors? This is the final release? There has been more than one post about this problem, ie; more than one person has had this error.

Do you have the countries in the proper order, like I said? (Or did I say that?)

I included the program I used to do that, and I can explain how to use it if you need.

**Co128** · August 1, 2003, 11:33

Microslave, can u put in a link so we can download that program. I never heard of it. Its a longshot (for me that is since im not that much of a data guy) but maybe i can screw around enough to find out the problem... or anyone else as a matter of fact.

**Microslave** · August 2, 2003, 02:18

I suppose I could.

I have to warn you though, if you don't understand programming, you likely won't get anything out of them

.

They're all console based with almost no prompts, you have to know what the program is meant to do, and the format which it accepts input inorder to be able to use them.

The one I mentioned above is pretty simple to use, you remove your data file (*.xml), and then start RoN & launch your CTW. Everything will be named "country 1" and will be "blah". However this generated file is in the correct order, that is the top, right most country is in the first country tag, and the bottom left most one is in the last country tag. If they are in the wrong order, the game will screw up, and likely in the fashion that was described above.

Anyway, I wrote a simple program that uses the proper order, and the proper names, and then gives you an xml file that has the proper names and proper order. This is done by way of the colors.

I wrote a few other ones, including a linker which automatically linked both countries, displayed all the countries, and allowed for shortened versions of the country for faster typing. Basically ger* = germany, again you would have to know a little about programming to understand the format in which it accepts links (I think it was ger*.spai*. for a link between Germany & Spain, the '.' at the end signaled a "Sea link".).

Another one checked for duplicate colors, which probably won't be helpful for anyone, the reason I wrote it was because I am colorblind. I had a hell of a time getting the colors right

. It also checked for duplicate names and id's, although I'm not positive.

I wrote another one that would automatically distribute the tribute for my map. I set a total value I would like to be avaible on the entire map, and also set it so that countries with a rare resource, would not recieve tribute. Anyway, it would automatically add the tribute values to each country.

Then I finally have a program that I have no idea what it does

Dubly named "experiments"

. Actually, according to the menu, it "Linked Countries", "Displayed Links", "Wrote Tribute/Rare/Supply tags to countries" and "Edited Continents".

Anyway, the code is messy, I wrote it as I went, not thinking about what I might need in the future, and intending the program to be for me, and soley me

.

Let me know if you want any of them, and reply back with your email address.

Although I'm all but done with my full world mod, I wouldn't mind having these tools in the future.

just out of curiosity, what language did you program them in? are you willing to share the source?

I'm definitely interested in recieving all of the programs.

Well... actually, im not sure if the problem is with the countries. It seems that when I still had the european CTW mod installed, I started to play a new scenario I downloaded. But for some reason, the same screw up happened with the gpiece and all. It was only after uninstalling all of the european mod was I able to play the scenario. So im guessing that there maybe a problem in the data or unit rules files that come along with it. Just a thought.

PS--Jebus, I can't wait to try out your CTW WORLD MOD!

**Co128** · August 9, 2003, 20:22

Don't mean to rush anyone, but does anyone know the real problem with this? I tried to fix it but couldn't find anything. Microslave, you got any other suggestionS?
