CTD by modifying

[Arturius]

I am not able to perceive the bug which effects following crash. I modified some inc files and revolt.txt. Also Clausewitz's validator couldn't find anything.

While scenario is loading an error message appears. The scenario file seems to have an error but without any information about the cause. You are able to ignore this error and then the scenario starts. Before the clock can jump from 0:00 to 1:00 the game crashs with an error of aodgame.exe in offset 0015b175.

For hours I tried many methods of elimination. No success. Which type of bugs causes such crash? Any experiences?


P.S.: Maybe this thread is better preserved in the tech support forum. If so, I am sorry.

Once I made a typo when I changed the location of a corps in the chinese scenario file. I got the same error and the instant crash. The cause for this was that the changed id was outside of the range of the allowed province ids.

If you're editing game files you'd use JSGME. In the case of such a major bug you can more easily retrace your steps and add the modded files one by one to your installed game.
