Hello. I've been trying all day to get a custom mini-scenario that I've been doing to work. Now, I've swept through it several times, and have yet been unable to find what the problem could be. Basically, it is a fantasy Byzantine Empire scenario using MyMap-AGCEEP1. You can get it here if you're curious http://www.vojska.net/eng/games/europa-universalis-2/
Its the 2-2-2006 one.

Anyway, I essentially remove the Ottomans from the Balkans, give the Byzantines Greece, southern Bulgaria, their Nicean territories in western Anatolia and a bit of the Balkans, as well as the stuff around the straits that Genoa and Venice normally have.
I give the Ottomans most of central/eastern Anatolia to compensate, and what all this means is that I end up having to remove several countries all together, while I have to create one new one (Bulgaria).

The nations I had to remove from my fantasy campaign were:

TEK = Ghazi
SPR = Morea
RAG = Ramazan
KNI = Saint John
KAL = Theodoro
ATH = Athens
ALB = Albania
KAR = Karaman

Now, I managed to do this, and the game finally began to load without any errors, but when it gets to the end of the loading screen (reading scenario I believe), the screen just goes black followed by a CTD.

I've went over the fantasybyzantium.inc, which is basically a modified 1419m.inc, making sure that the removed nations were gone from the modified countries list, and I made sure the fantasybyzantium.eug was set to 'include' the .inc by the same name. I combed through the .inc to make sure any references (alliances, COT merchants etc) to the removed nations were gone, and I made sure to include the Bulgaria .inc in the 1419m folder in the modified countries list, but it still crashes just before it is able to successfully load the game. No error messages or anything, which means I can't find out what the problem is.

Does anyone have a clue what I might be missing here?
 
CTD on startup with no error can mean a lot of things... Most often small mistakes with lacking or double brackets somewhere (inc or monarchs/leaders files, though you didn't mention that you modified these as well...). It is hard to tell without seeing the actual files though...
 
Well, you know the rules, I'd have to go through all the approval stuff.

But no, I didn't modify the Monarch or leader files. But as for .inc files, I've modified the 1419m.inc thats in the file in the link above. Basically I inserted Bulgaria, and removed/renamed the appropriate nations in the "Countries" list. I also removed any references to the nations I removed in the file, thinking that might be causing it, but no luck. Would an out of place bracket in one of the country .inc in the 1419m folder possibly cause this?

do you mean you removed countries entries from country.csv? :confused:
 
No, I never mentioned the country.csv, I said I removed countries that were no longer in my scenario from the 1419m.inc in the scenarios folder.
 
So, any other ideas from anyone? If you help me to get it to work I might release it, including any events I make for it. ;)
