Help With Scenario

[unmerged(5459)]

Any of you who know something about what I'm doing will know that I've been working on my Alternate Mongol History Scenario for quite a while. I'm sure that number is limited, but never mind.

I've been working on it for a while, struggling with the stupid .eug file which is going wrong for no apparent reason, and I do not have the time or willpower to continue working with the main scenario file anymore.

Is there anyone out there who is willing to make a .eug file (I don't care how) for this scenario? If anyone wants to, I will send the details for the scenario.

Thanks a whole bunch.

I know what you have been doing. Oddly enough i have just posted a thread complaining about the lack of help for independant scenario designers.

Annoying isn't it?

 

[Languish]

See, no-one else around *sighes*

I think HOI might have to take some of the blame...

 

[Languish]

This kind of problem occured way before HoI

If your still having problems in a few weeks, let me know, I'll take a look at it. Send me the stuff and I'll let you know if and when I get it. My email is scott_casey_2002@yahoo.com

Good Luck!

Temujin, ur already busy with your thing... which I hope is going well, so don't bother urself with my thing.

 

[Languish]

Dimwit, collaboration between us independants is the only way to go mate. I say dive in join them.

 

[unmerged(11318)]

Dimwit,

I know that I am very busy, but I am never too busy to help a mate in need, now send your stuff so I can take a look, and try to help. Also, dont give up hope!

Good luck again!

It's only creating a functioning .eug file... I'll just double check to make sure that it is not the AI files that are messing things up. THing is, the problem is compounded by the fact that my computer runs EU2 on its bare minimum... But that is not the reason for the problems.

APart from that, all I have to do are events for the GOlden Horde.
But thanks for ur help.

It is at times like this that you should start afresh rather than compound the difficulty of investigating a continually problematic file.

This happened more times than i care to remember with the vinland scenario matey.

How is the Vinland thing coming along?

I did start anew, making good progress (I knew what to do), and then...

something wrong with the WHOLE bit on Aragon!! ANd I hadn't even touched them! I couldn't even open the file in the Editor!!

 

[Languish]

Like you, lack of interest, has slaughtered progress on it. Like you, its almosts a life's work, down the pan. But (contrary to every other scenario) it is fact in an advance stage of completion. Shame no-one is interested enough to warrant further realistic development.

Question... are you using the scenario editor? If so i would honestly not bother. It is far simpler (believe or not) to start by adapting the standard GC to your needs, then adding bits and pieces here and there as you go.

Save different versions as you go and test like mad!

 

[Languish]

You could always download other scenarios and see how they are organised. This helps alot as there are several different ways to approach scenario design.

 

[unmerged(5459)]

I have been using the Scenario Editor (adapting the GC file), and adding other things in by using Notepad.

It's actually quite hard to code my scenario just in NotePad, as I have to delete something like 12 countries, and add in 9 other ones.

To be honest with you guys, I prefer to do everything by hand, the old fashioned way, after each minor change I test to ensure compatability, send me your stuff, I think if we can figure your scenario out, then you can give us a hand in return. Besides I would be honored to assist, a fellow Mongolian Brother in arms.

Dimwit, I am rather good with putting things into their proper files if that is your problem I could easily fix the map how you want it to be in less than a week and just save you the trouble of having to do so. Like Laguish said, us independents need to stick together My e-mail is www.HeliumHound@aol.com if you wish to take up my offer just send me what you have (even if it does not work) and I will send it back to you in regular scenario format as soon as possible (witch is usually pretty quick being as how I work only at night on the weekends, isn't a musicians life grand )

 

[unmerged(5459)]

Thanks for all your help guys. Like Temujin, I would like to test all my little changes, but my laptop is pathetically slow (366MHz 64MB RAM), so it's not possible.
And thanks Helium Hood. I can send you the Mongol1419.eug file (the one that went wrong I think - I've got 5 versions and I'm not quite sure if the one I'm thinking of is the right one!!) if that's what you mean. That's the only thing going wrong - oh, and army leader names, but I can check that easily. Events are fine, and graphics are good (cheers Korath, Birger Jarl and Languish), it's just the scenario file going wrong.

I feel bad, asking for so much help but not being able to extend the same amount of generosity in return.

 

[Languish]

Never feel bad about asking dude, that's what the forum is here for

Is the file available on your website? I tend to filter out alot of email... mainly because 99.9% is spam.

 

[unmerged(5459)]

No, it's not. Why, do you want me to send it to you?
