My Units crashing game...help.

[Riker13]

I have just finished converting my own mod to Warlords, all is well until I try and select one of my own made-up units, the game then crashes with an option to dump.

All files and graphic files are where they should be, any clues?

I'd guess there's something wrong with the selection sound. Can't think of any graphical thing that would cause this.

Ohhh, I did not think of that, I will investigate and let you know.

Many thanks Great Apple.

THE GREAT APPLE,

I seem to have all the sound files where they should be and all the data in the audio files, 2dscrips, 3dscripts and defines.

But I think you are right, I dont see it being a graphic problem, as if I go to world builder and put one of these units in, it works fine, its just if I select them to build in game where it crashes.

Do you think you could give me another clue where to isolate this issue.

Many thanks.

Ive had a similiar problem with non Firaxis made unit buttons. Units look fine, but the game crashes to desktop when I go to select the button to build in game. I havent figured out how to fix it I have just replaced the buttons with Firaxis one. No new buttons but also no crashes.

No idea - it was just a thought. Never had a problem like this myself.

tlucky4life, I do have a few buttons which are made up but then I have some of Firaxis ones also but they both crash.

This is very Im not sure how to fix this problem.

I think im gunna myself.

The selection sound doesnt play when you select it form the build menu. In that case its trying to calc hammer cost and put the unit pic in the city billboard.

Can you link your CIV4UnitInfos.xml file?

Aaah - select them to build. I had assumed you meant in game to give them orders. Definately not a sound issue then.

I know what it is. You will have to be patient with me trying to explain it to you. It is actually a pretty simple thing to do.

1.Go to XML CivUnitInfos and look for the tag that you put the button for the unit it.

2.Check to make sure there are no commas or errors on that line.

3.If your not using an atlas for the units remove commas.

4.Go back and try it again it should work.

I had the same problem and everytime I tried to build a unit in game it would go to windows and crash. After hours of trying to figure out what it is I did.

Let me know if I was any help.
