New Characters

[cthulhu]

Hello,

I have created a new dynasty, which worked fine and is now trying to create a new character. I have tried several free IDs (which means no duplicated in character file) but the game crash (EXCEPTION: 0xC0000005 at address: 0x005872EF: ACCESS VIOLATION).

Where can I find a list of free ids?

There is no such list, but you can make a character-ID as long as you want, so start somewhere about 100000 and there shouldn't be a problem with double ID's.


But a double character ID shouldn't result in such a crash. So when does your game actually crash. When you start a scenario or later ?

when I load the scenario. If I remove the character it works again.

Birth date, DNA, you've done all that?

As a solution you could also change an already existing character. No way there's going to be a problem there cause I've done it lots of times.

Is the character placed in an existing court ?

Have you checked to see if you miss a { or a } ?

Could you post the character which you want to add ?

 

[cthulhu]

character = {
id = { type = 10 id = 90000001 }
name = "Amadeus"
gender = male
dynasty = { type = 12 id = 101918 }
country = C372
religion = catholic
culture = german
score = { gold = 200 prestige = 100 piety = 100 }
birthdate = { year = 1041 month = january day = 1 }
dna = "01050610030302"
attributes = {
martial = 10
diplomacy = 8
intrigue = 5
stewardship = 10
health = 10
fertility = 10
}
traits = {
proud = yes
lustful = yes
energetic = yes
valorous = yes
just = yes
brilliant_strategist = yes
}
}

Have you tried a lower ID? This is by far the largest I've ever seen.
Also of course make sure that C372 is a valid country.

Have you also changed other things, like perhaps titles?

I have tried different IDs of much lower number. That was just a last desperate attempt. I forgot to mention that I run Deus Vult and according to the wiki you should only give the attribute values, but since all characters are presented in the old format I figured it works as well. Perhaps this is what's wrong?

C372 is valid but a pagan land. I haven't assigned any titles etc yet. I do it step by step to catch errors better.

There is nothing wrong with the character, when I copy/paste it into a scenariofile the scenario loads just fine. I of course haven't added his dynastie-name.

So there must be something else wrong in one of your files.

I think the attributes are the problem.

character = { 
    id = { type = 4712 id = 457272 } 
    dyn = 12470 
    tag = BOHE 
    name = "Vratislav" 
    home = 364 
    date = "11000001" 
    gender = male 
    religion = catholic 
    culture = "bohemian" 
    deathdate = "11340025" 
    attributes = "6.1.1.2.4.6.410240032" 
    traits = { indulgent = yes trusting = yes charismatic_negotiator = yes } 
    dna = "08169254120682" 
    }

This is a working character. So you should make the attributes like they're in here.

EDIT : Aha... So I guess I'm wrong. Well, just edit an existing character and be done with it.

No, it doesn't matter how you put the attributes into the scenario-file, the old way or the new way.

The only other thing I have added before the character is the dynasty:

dynasty = {
id = { type = 12 id = 101918 }
name = "Rantzau"
province = { }
}

 

[cthulhu]

I actually tried giving him the dynasty ID for dynasty id = 101917, which comes with the game, and then it crashes.

Upload your edited scenario-file somewhere, then maybe I can find something weird/wrong with it.

 

[cthulhu]

Solved it. Thanks for your help, guys.

 

[Veldmaarschalk]

What was it then ?

 

[cthulhu]

What was it then ?

I placed the character in C372, which doesn't exist in the 1066 scenario. Hence the error.
