User created campaign not working as a skirmish module
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2017 9:36 am
Hi Richard,
I'm working on a modification of the vanilla Rise of Rome Campaigns. It's a bit similar to my Extra Nations mod for P&S, except that you have done such a fantastic job that there are hardly any extra nations to add, it's more a case of extra units and a few nations having extra lists. As each new unit tales up a lot of space with it's new .S4F file, God knows how I will post this, as it will be enormous once it is finished!
Anyway, I'm having a little problem with it at the moment. It works fine as a random campaign, and in the editor. But when I remove the NOSKIRMISH restriction from the Campaign.txt and try and use it to create a skirmish battle it won't work. The battle map loads, but instead of the two side names displaying in the top left hand corner of the screen, it says the sides are Blue and Red, both with 100% routed. No units load on the map, and the scenario ends immediately.
I'm assuming that I have made a big error somewhere, but the armies load perfectly in a campaign. Alternatively, I need to do something else to get it to work as a skirmish generator. I can't see where the files that generate the Skirmish battles are hiding in the installation folders, it would probably help me if I could.
