    Utility request

    As you know, for the moment, there is a rather widespead issue of crash on second load. We have yet to find a solution. In the mean time, i thought we could have a small fix, until the problem is solved.

    Would there be, among you guys, someone who could do an exe that would delete or simply rename the flagfiles.txt file ? and possibly open the eu3.exe ?

    Is this feasable ? Is there a volunteer ?

    Could you be more specific as to what it should do?

    I'm guessing:

    1) Rename the flagfiles.txt and [flagfiles.dds?] to flagfiles.txt.bck (or such)
    [EU3 is generating the new flagfiles based off of the files in the directory, correct?]
    2) Set modpath/switcher to MEIOU
    3) Launch MEIOU

    Should be that basic. Although another option would be useful:

    Step 1
    Option:
    1.5) Delete cache files and map*.bin in MEIOU/map/cache
    1.65) Move vanilla/map/cache/time.bin and navaldist.bin into MEIOU/map/cache
    Step 2

    I'd imagine fairly easy in XP [even a simple batch file], but I dunno how irritating for Vista UAC/etc problems. And no idea for anyone emulating this from some other platform.

    Thsmar has nearly guessed it right. As the cache issue is a one time issue, and on some computer, we'll give the instructions to the player for that part.

    Basically, the minimum i'd like such an executable to do is :

    - delete or rename the file \mod\MEIOU\gfx\flags\flagfiles.txt, to make sure the game rebuilds it each time.

    - either just launch eu3.exe or set the switcher to MEIOU and launch the game.

    For all those being as short-tempered as me, here is a .bat that will delete the flagfiles.txt and start eu3 with the MEIOU mod.
    Just extract it to the EU3 root directory (e.g. c:\program files\Europa Universalis III) and execute.
