Medieval 2 keeps crashing after modding

[hamzahmalikvh]

so basically i tried to change the defence and attack values for troops and tried to make them stick, but then it just crashes, sound familiar?

[Ashur_Arbaces]

Yeah it prolly means you made a typo somewhere in the file and now it will keep crashing unless it's fixed or you no longer use the modded file.

Best compare the old file with the edited one with Notepad++ to figure out where you made the typo. As Ashur_Arbaces said format is very important. You can also use an checker like the Unit editor ( sorry constantly loose the Original link )

Here it would be the Silver Surfers file or window that pops up when you run it, that might bear a hint.

hmm, the file checker said there was and error in the file i edited, the thing is idited so much stuff oof

[hamzahmalikvh]

also, there a way to simply revert the files back to the original? and what does the game consider a typo?

[hamzahmalikvh]

ok,so i deeted the modded file and re validated the files, but the unpacker doesnt seem to work anymore so any ideas how to get the file back?( i deleted it to revert it back) the file was descr unit txt

[Mekkermann]

The game considers everything a typo that doesn´t fit the format of the file so "halberdiers ," instead of "halberdiers," where the comma is misplaced. Editing the main files is also not an good idea better edit an mod or/and make an backup of the old file so you can go back. The bare Geomod has an basic setup for modding and more important the the export_descr_units file seems to fit on first glance at least I counted the same amount of Units in the file, so you can also just use this for further editing of the main files. https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?352216-Creating-a-World-Bare-Geomod

[hamzahmalikvh]

[Mekkermann]

Yeah try another browser. Or I upload the original file from medieval 2 for you here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1geR0b3eAOXO-F7sersw_Rlo263xu9RJU/view?usp=drive_link

My Bare Geomod mod base is the vanilla Grand Campaign updated to Kingdoms level (boiling oil etc) - else it's the original setup.

Chrome must be a worse nanny then Microsoft, at least in MS you get the choice if you want to download or not after the warning.

Next time set the file to read only
