I'm lost with this problem...help?

[razorbird789]

I've created a nation on DH light and it's fine (liberates fine) Then i tried to create one in DH full but it causes a CTD after i press liberate but before i move the mouse over the country name. So i tried to put it in the scenario file to see if it worked, it loads up to the end of the bar then the game goes non responsive (thanks microsoft). there are no error mesages and after going through dozens of pages on the forum i can't find anyone with this issue. The only thing i can seem to find that may give an idea to whats wrong is through the debug file, the normal game(without my nation) boots and this is the last part of the debug file

"Reading distances from map\map_1\airdist.tbl... Done! (2769 provinces read in 491 ms)

Setting Mode.
Mode Set.
Setting Mode.
Mode Set.
Reading map\map_1\navaldist2.tbl... Done! (1489 naval provinces, Read distances = 2217121)


Scenario Validation (provinces)...Done. No errors found."


The one with my nation is missing the last line....

"Reading distances from map\map_1\airdist.tbl... Done! (2769 provinces read in 421 ms)

Setting Mode.
Mode Set.

Reading map\map_1\navaldist2.tbl... Done! (1489 naval provinces, Read distances = 2217121)"

Any help would be amazing!

Did you modify the map files (in DH\Map\Map_1\)?

Did you modify the map files (in DH\Map\Map_1\)?

i remember going into the file although that might have been to look at colours.... Also wouldn't that affect all the scenarios not just the one i modified (1936). The one that booted fine was 1914...

 

[^_AC_^]

Right, it would affect them all. I'm a bit baffled, I don't really know what is the problem.
A suggestion: start the game in windowed mode, it might show you an error message (or when in fullscreen mode and it stops loading, ALT-TAB out and back to make it appear).

 

[razorbird789]

the first few time it completely froze my computer (its old but can play the game easily) and i had to restart it with the power button, i then found out if i ctrl,alt del while its loading even when it freezes i can alt tab out. there was no error message at all. I'll try overwriting the map folder with the one from my original game (lucky i'm not editing the original)

 

[ewphoenix123]

i doubt that it has anything to do with files in the map folder.

My guess is, that you didn't remove all units that were stationed in the provinces you gave to the new nation.

Or you missed to add all provinces and now have one unassigned in the scenario files.
Or you added a sea province to your new nation as national province.
Or you have some kind of typo in the province ids.

 

[razorbird789]

i'll check the first point because all of the province IDs i copied from the turkey and Greek parts in the revolt folder,i think i left turkish infantry in istanbul (the capitol of the nation in question). wouldn't the rest cause an error message?

 

[razorbird789]

as AC suggested i used windowed mode. I removed one possible crossover of Province IDs and removed one div from istanbul (the only province the nation starts with until i get it working). I also completely replaced the map folder with a backup i just remembered i had. It's still exactly the same. The thing i find weird is that it crashes when you try to liberate it and doesn't load when you put it in the scenario folder. I've triple checked everything from the HoI wiki and from guides i've found on the forum and everything is fine i as far as i know, someone mentioned that i need to add everything to the excel file in modding documentation but i didn't have to do that to make it work in DH light......
Wait.... I made the nation in DH Light with the same steps as this problem one in DH Full and it worked. What could i have done wrong???

 

[ewphoenix123]

upload your changed files and I'll take a look, my bet is still an id conflict but scenario files are somewhat touchy.

 

[razorbird789]

it probably is, all of the ministers,leaders and tech teams are only ones i put in to fill up the files somewhat. I put the whole folder for the mod on. The Tag of the nation is U00

[ewphoenix123]

urgs thats to big for me to take a quick look, I've an extremly bad connection.
so if you could adjust it down to the essentials please.

 

[razorbird789]

sorry. i included all the files i added or edited (except adding hashed out titles to some event files which i didn't include) its much smaller now.

[ewphoenix123]

I'm sorry I can't figure it out.
I spent an hour looking over the files and don't understand it, don't realy have the time to invest longer in it.

One thing I noticed , is that you should always have an empty line at the end of your minister/leader/techteam files.
Won't fix the problem here, but it's a general thing to remember.

 

[razorbird789]

cheers for the tip and for your time. I'll try and make a country in a clean folder in a completely different place and see how it works out
