Im not sure why after X Turn between the AI Turn and my New Turn the game suddenly crashes without any message about it.

That makes two of us.
You need to provide the last autosave from the turn before the crash. Put it in an archive like zip or rar and attach it to your next post.
You can find the "attach" feature in the Full Editor window of the forum - scroll down to the bottom and click the "Full Editor & Preview" button.
You can find the savegames in:

Btw, @robotron, do you know if there's a limit to the amount of commanders that can be added?

No idea. Are you having trouble adding more?

Yeah, pretty strange.
I made a new event based on the Yildirim group event code you wrote. Which contains this line in game_diplomacy.lua
Code: Select all
turkey.luaData.commanders[132].unlocked = game.turn
Your event works. The event I made also works as long as I leave out the equivalent of the line above.
I wrote commander ID as 134, because 133 is Currie.
Code: Select all
turkey.luaData.commanders[134].unlocked = game.turn
When I add a 134th commander in the Commander.lua file, the game will load, but I can't load the save where the event is in the event pool. The game will freeze for a bit and then crash without an error log. It will do so also for other saves.
If I take out the 134th commander, I can load the save again.
So then I tried my event with the exact same line as yours, unlocking Falkenhayn with ID 132, and it works again.
But when I try it with 133 (Currie, after adapting the country ID code to the proper faction), the save game loads, but it crashes when I choose the event, this time with a log, saying:
[16:05:30][15928]game/game_diplomacy.lua:5776(global TriggerEvent) game/game_diplomacy.lua:5776: attempt to index a nil value
Same thing happened when I tried it with Stalin (ID 121), though I can't find his code anywhere else so I don't see why it would cause problems (I added his commander_info)
I'm very confused
Is it safe to take out some of the obsolete Russian civil war generals?

The game reads the array containing the commanders, constructions etc. once at the very start of the match and nothing can be added after that. The save game you are using to try out your new commander with is "closed" to new entries so to say. It's because of this I tell you guys each time a new version comes out to start fresh matches.
Is it safe to take out some of the obsolete Russian civil war generals?
Sure.

Ok, I'll try it again from a fresh save, thanks!
edit: on first glance, 133 commanders seems the max. adding number 134 crashes the game. you can't load any of the scenarios, not save game or new ones.
edit2: removing all the civil war commanders (id 108-125) gets me this error:
[16:53:44]
[31412]game/game_move.lua:187(global MoveCommander) game/game_move.lua:187: attempt to index a nil value
so I can't break the chain of numbers. hmm ok, I'll replace them 1 by 1 on need to use basis :/

I just added a 134th commander, so the total number can't be the problem.

I never knew that you could click on the commander and get a little bio on him before.

i guess I'm just too tired. I thought I had added all the commander pics. But I realize now that I missed one copying them in. And so the game crashed without report.
game is loading now with 134, thanks. Already thought 133 was a strange max lol.
at least it seems that crashing without error report generally means a graphics issue (from what I've noticed so far).
are you adding averescu just as a test btw? or will you add him to a next/future version? If so, adding any more? I'll just number mine a bit later then. so I don't have to redo it soon.

Yep. Also
omitting or
repeating any event, commander etc. in
english.txt will also produce a crash without a proper logfile message, so be
extra(!!!) careful when adding anything new to that file.
I'd strongly suggest you make a backup copy of english.txt
before adding multiple events, commanders etc. because once you get a crash bug there it's difficult to backtrack what caused it without using the
Compare Plug-in in Notepad++ which you really should install if not already done so.
I've been there before and it wasn't much fun and it nearly brought the mod to an early end in 2016 when by sheer luck I discovered what caused this behavior.
Averescu will be #134 in my next update. If you have more suggestions I'll be happy to include them if you provide the content.

thanks for the advice, will heed it. I have backups for sure, and I'm not working in the files that I use to play, which is kinda what caused the problem. I had to move some stuff around to test things, and I just forgot to copy it into the proper folder, but because I had made it, I thought I had everything done right. I even considered the portraits as a culprit, so checked the file to see if I had moved them, but ofc only checked the last few numbers, so not thorough enough.
I do have a suggestions, but it's part of a bit bigger thing I'm working on, so won't be ready before next update I think. Will share it once done.

Have you considered having Sit John French dismissed shortly after the Shell Crisis Event triggers as happened historically at the end of 1915? Of course Haig would then be unlocked after French is removed from play.

You did not follow the instructions properly!
You put the whole "
PotzBlitz V21.0c Complete" folder into your
Commander the Great War folder.
That is not the way it should be!
You only need the "
Data" folder from the archive you downloaded.
Here's what you must do:
Go
into the "
PotzBlitz V21.0c Complete" folder which is shown in your screenshot
You will find a folder called "
Data" in this folder.
Right-click on that "
Data" folder and select "
copy".
Go
back to the folder that is shown in your screenshot.
Right-click and select "
paste" and when Windows asks if you want to
overwrite, then click on "
Yes, overwrite all".
Now you should be able to play the game.

Okay, a misunderstanding.
If your game crashes I need to have a look at the logfile which is called ctgw.log to see what is going wrong.
Right after the game has crashed you must go to the following folder:
C:\Users\name\Documents\My Games\Commander the Great War\
I don't know what this path is called on a Spanish Win10 but I guess it's something like this
C:\Usuarios\Nombre de usuario\Documentos\Juegos\Commander the Great War
Here you should find the ctgw.log
Copy the ctgw.log and put in into a ZIP or RAR archive and attach it to your post.

Hello Robotron,
What a great mod, thanks. It's great to see the potential of the basic CTGW being developed upon. Really appreciated.
Recently I played v.20.1a, von Schlieffen. End turn 3. Single player. Difficulty normal. I have Windows 10.
Crash happened with cursor freezing on "end turn" button. Then, click on screen gave circle of death and close program- window.
All the best.

as I was rummaging through the files I noticed that some events such as for example: USinFrance, still use Rouen in their code, though Rouen has been renamed to LeHavre in later versions. Not sure if it matters, but just a heads up.
