Hello all! Newbie in need of assistance!

[Rebotigger]

Hello to everyone! I am new here, although I have been lurking around for about three weeks. I want to extend my gratitude to many of you who have made this game worth the money! The resources here are unbelievable and FREE!!

Now the help needed part. I have used Capt Kraken's tutorial for adding units to the game and have sucessfully done so all the way down to "testing". However, the units look and run just fine, BUT I now cannot build my first city without the game dumping to the desktop! Does anyone know what may be causing this? I have double checked the Pediacon.txt, Animname's, Unit_32's and also the BIq I designed for the scenario. BUT, as stated, at the beggining of the game when you get your first settler & worker, when I give the build city command the game dumps to the desktop.

Any suggestions and or help will be greatly appreciatted and again, thanks for a cool site and an awsome resource.

did you remember to set a culture type for the civ?? thats usually the case

 

[Rebotigger]

Quinzy, I dont remeber seeing that in the tutorial. How do I go about doing that MOD so this will work? Thanks for replying.

Welcome to CFC!!!
*shame on Quinzy*

Each civ has to have a culture group. If you changed any civs, check the Civilizations page to make sure they all belong to a culture group.
You also might be missing a build queue icon, but I think that will give you an error popup at the start.

Welcome to the Forum Tank Guy #3, BadKarma, Takhisis and quinzy, feel the love. feel better?

 

[Takhisis]

Yes and no, ´cos I´ve got to go to school in 20 minutes...

 

[Rebotigger]

Thanks for the replies guys! Is there a tutorial link for troubleshooting this kind of an error? Any addititonal help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[WildWeazel]

I don't think there's a tutorial, just check to see if each Civ has a culture group (not set to "none")

 

[Rebotigger]

Thanks Weasel Op! Is the setting in the "civilopedia" files or is it in the "Editor"? I could not find the option anywhere. Thanks again for all the help and the pats on the back!

 

[Bjornlo]

It is in the editor.

 

[Rebotigger]

Ok, there is a civ with "none" on it. It is the Barbarian and I cannot seems to edit it for some reason. BTW the error code i am getting is a "civ3complete" error. Any additional info or help? Thanks guys, I really do appreciate this.

Starting to have withdrawals, need to get this fixed!!

 

[WildWeazel]

Barbs don't have Civ settings, other than city names. Is the error code in a Windows alert, or a Civ message, or what? Could you post a screenshot of it?

 

[Rebotigger]

Weasel Op, Yes it is a windows error report box. I looked into the details and it has 45 modules dealins with .dll files and a bunch of .asi files in the report.

It also says the following:

Signature Error
AppName:civ3conquests.exe AppVer:1.22.0.0
ModName:civ3conquests.exe AppVer:1.22.0.0
offset: 000c0a94

Hope this is more info. Thanks for all the help!

 

[WildWeazel]

hmm... that sounds serious. You might need to reinstall. I don't know of any modding mistakes that cause Windows errors. Maybe Plotinus will see this thread, he knows more about troubleshooting than I do.

 

[Rebotigger]

Ok, thanks for the help Weasel Op! BTW I have already reinstalled once before. It is weird, I followed the directions in Capt Krakens tutorial, hope I didn't screw too much up.

BTW In a "New Game" the system does not crash! It is only when I try to use my scenerio that it will crash. So, I can playa regular game, just can't run my modded game.
