Need help

[redeemed]

I am having a problem.

I am making a mod, but when I build my first city, the game crashes to desktop without an error message. I have not changed anything from the last time I was testing it and it run fine before two days ago. I have Conquests with the patch 1.22.

found the problem file, but can't find what is wrong with it.

The units_32.pcx has something wrong with it. I am posting it here, anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

 

[JG99_Korab]

have you put any new units into your game?

 

[redeemed]

yes all the new units work. The game only crashes when the file posted above is put into the mod 's art folder.

So there must be some unsupported unit or something.

Well, your units32 is NOT indexed. The file needs to have a palette or it will not work properly. i recommend you copy the palette of your original units32 to the new one.

You can also make your own indexed palette. If you are using the gimp just click image/mode/indexed. set it to 255 colors. I think the purple(ff00ff) and green(00ff00) have to be the last colors on the list. If you aren't using the gimp, everything i just said is completely worthless, and should be ignored.

Thank You everyone. Making the file indexed fixed the problem.

Thank You everyone. Making the file indexed fixed the problem.

Im glad it worked. I was going to ask if you used MapTweaker. Last time I used it, it ruined my modpack. I could load the map with default rules or I could load the rules with no map but I couldnt get them to work simultaneously. I had to re-do weeks of editor work. I was furious!

Glad urs was easier to fix!

ps- sorry for randomly forcing my painful memories on you....

I just had my first experience with palettes recently too...
