I get an error message saying EXCEPTION_ACCES_VIOLATION the thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address which it does not have appropraite access. Then some jumbles up letters and number and stuff with game.dat near the bottom.

I was following the tutorial on the site and i know this error is a result of something i have done in part 3 as the game would load beforehand. I am not sure if it is linked to when i downloaded the .rar file of civilianbuildings and extracted from it 2 files, the elven farm and civilianbuilding. I didnt add the elven farm as the tutuorial didn't mention anything about it.

Can someone help please.

follow the tutorial : http://the3rdage.net...tion.php?mod=52

that's part 1, and it mentions all that you need to know on that piece of code.

the add attachment isn't there?

Edit: i decided to try edit the name of the expansion_elves.bse to outpost_elves.bse as in the civilianbuildings.ini they expansion have been renamed to outpost, however whilst this didn't stop the game.dat error crash :( it managed to reduce the number of lines of errors to two :ninja: ;
initialise context
memory pool allocate

Edit 2: i found king of the univere's 1.03 change to civilianbuildings so i will try that

Edit: for anyone who cares i found i hadn't put the elves in the lotr.csf though i remember doing that but now the game loads but i only get a black screen

hey Ched arent you excited about this SDK thing about to be released, Apoc said it will be compatible with BFME1 , maybe your knowledge about ini coding will grow exponentially, you know with all the documentation being there.
I was just wondering since you are a veteran with the Sage engine.
And maybe with all the unknown things in the inis explained in those documents the RA alliance mod will be greatly improved.
I know im expectating a lot and its kinda exciting for all the possibilities.

I'm not much of a veteran with the Sage Engine, BfME is the first game I've been modding for.
And while I am of course expecting a lot from this upcoming SDK, I don't think a BfME I INI documentation will come up, no is it, IMO, really required.
We've, thanks to all the users who came by and shared their discoveries, figured out A LOT in the past year and a half BfME wise. And I'm sure we can figure out pretty much anything that way INI wise.

However, some help with the files no one has figured out yet, say, APT files, would be more than appreciated, but I'm sure that what EA will throw at us will rock :shiftee:

For some reason my print screen isn't working however the wrote down what the crash says, this happens while i load the game, the screen goes black and then crashs.

i wont put the address and module of the crash but the symbol to save typing

WCsnpy+0x49a

AllocateHeap+0xaeo

AllocateHeap+0xcb9

Rtllnitalize Critical section+0x13e

MemoryPool::-Allocate+0xba

This means absolutely nothing to me :shiftee: however maybe someone could give me a link to a mod in 1.03 which has a new faction in it.

Btw i still don't know where the add attachment function is, as when i post i cannot see it anywhere on the screen

the attachment function is just above the post icons, but is perhaps limited to a certain amount of posts.

as for the error, fix your prntscreen, cause what you copied doesn't really help

thought it was meaningless :p :) , but ill try with the printscrn problem, though tbh i may have to e-mail the .bse files and INI to my other comp as i can't think of any other way to get it to work.

BTW is there anywhere i can spam posts to get my count up?

Edit: while i am trying to get my prnt scrn to work in the guide it says to name the outposts as expansion however i named the .bse files as Outpost_elves as that is what they are named in civilianbuildings, is this wrong?

you need to ensure that your bases are exported from WB with the correct, you can't just rename that like that (apart from the small hexediting that you'll do)
