Loading a Savegame with a mod

XerbSys · Mar 29, 2013

Hello and sorry for presenting my next problem,

after finishing my mod I started a game and everything worked fine as I intended (The mod compiled without any error, loaded without any errors an it did within the game what it should). But when I try so load a saved game (saving worked fine), then the game just freezes. Uncle google told me, that there were problems like this shortly after the game was released, but that these problems were fixed.

Loading save games without my mod works fine.

I'm grateful for any ideas

Although its a bit long, that's the code I'm talking about.

Code:

I think it's deleting promotions without rearranging the IDs, as described in this thread.

XerbSys · Mar 29, 2013

Thanks a lot, that was the problem!

This leads me to my next question;

How to use "Delete" in the right way?

Lets say I going to edit the AIR_TARGETING_1 Promotion:

Code:

<Row>
			<Type>PROMOTION_AIR_TARGETING_1</Type>
			<Description>TXT_KEY_PROMOTION_AIR_TARGETING_1</Description>
			<Help>TXT_KEY_PROMOTION_AIR_TARGETING_1_HELP</Help>
			<Sound>AS2D_IF_LEVELUP</Sound>
			<PromotionPrereqOr1>PROMOTION_INTERCEPTION_1</PromotionPrereqOr1>
			<PromotionPrereqOr2>PROMOTION_DOGFIGHTING_1</PromotionPrereqOr2>
			<PromotionPrereqOr3>PROMOTION_AIR_SIEGE_1</PromotionPrereqOr3>
			<PromotionPrereqOr4>PROMOTION_BOMBARDMENT_1</PromotionPrereqOr4>
			<OrderPriority>3</OrderPriority>
			<PortraitIndex>52</PortraitIndex>
			<IconAtlas>PROMOTION_ATLAS</IconAtlas>
			<PediaType>PEDIA_AIR</PediaType>
			<PediaEntry>TXT_KEY_PROMOTION_AIR_TARGETING_1</PediaEntry>
</Row>

And I want to get rid the the two lines
<PromotionPrereqOr3>PROMOTION_AIR_SIEGE_1</PromotionPrereqOr3>
<PromotionPrereqOr4>PROMOTION_BOMBARDMENT_1</PromotionPrereqOr4>

What I've tried is this:

Code:

<UnitPromotions>
		<Update>
			<Where PromotionType="PROMOTION_AIR_TARGETING_1"/>
			<Delete PromotionPrereqOr3="PROMOTION_AIR_SIEGE_1"/>
		</Update>
		<Update>
			<Where PromotionType="PROMOTION_AIR_TARGETING_1"/>
			<Delete PromotionPrereqOr4="PROMOTION_BOMBARDMENT_1"/>
		</Update>
</UnitPromotions>

which doesen't work at all.

Thanks again!

The game will also crash if you or the AI tries to create an English Longbowman, as they receive the Range promotion for free (and you've deleted it without also deleting any and all references to it).
