Game Crash when AI uses Custom Country

VladKA · Civilian **Joined**: 24 Aug 2015

So I added a "China" country to the Soviet side. The flag is fine, the loading screen is fine, all the custom units/buildings are fine, everything works fine when I play as China. But, in Skirmish, when I want the AI to play as China, this crashes the game.

I can't find anything in the documentation to suggest why this is.

Unfortunately I can't mind read.

How about posting the error message before it crashes or your ini files in a zip / rar or whatever.

Unfortunately the error message closes right away, so I'm unable to read it, but here is the entry in rulesmd.ini

Code:

[China]
UIName=NAME:CHINA
Name=China
Suffix=Soviet
Prefix=B
Color=DarkRed
Multiplay=yes
Side=Nod
SmartAI=yes
ParaDrop.Types=E2,FTROOP
ParaDrop.Num=4,3
AI.PowerPlants=NAPOWR
File.Flag=chinaflg.shp
File.LoadScreen=ls800china.shp
File.LoadScreenPAL=mpyscrn.pal
File.Taunt=tauam01.wav
LoadScreenText.Name=LSCR:CHINA
LoadScreenText.SpecialName=LSCR:FLAMETANK
LoadScreenText.Brief=LSCR:CHINABRIEF
MenuText.Status=MENUTEXT:CHINA
RandomSelectionWeight=1

All references to Flame troopers/tanks are the custom units. I also added China to the list of owners on most soviet units, and also to the list of countries & the Nod side.

Not sure if this would influence crashes or not, but I noticed your "File.Taunt" flag is set up wrong. It's supposed to be done like this:
File.Taunt=Taunts\tauam%02i.wav

Start the game with the -LOG argument and check the debug.log file whether the country can build power plants, barracks and so on.

Okay, I fixed it. When making China owner of soviet stuff I'd missed out the Tesla Reactor, so the AI was trying to build something it couldn't, derp.

Now the game is crashing on me because of AI triggers.

Welcome to AI modding.
Although I think this is a different topic to discuss, I'm not sure how that would crash the game.
IIRC vanilla YR has very little country specific triggers, which are even based on ID, not index.
Could it be that the Chinese AI does not have access to generic Soviet units? Eg. again trying to build something it can't?

Nah, all I did was copy/paste the 3 tesla troop squad trigger and replace the references to the telsa trooper teamtype with custom flame troopers. Crashes.

Did you change the Side/Country on the trigger too? And any other references to buildings or units that your new country can't build?

Maybe you just forget to add China to the owner list of NACNST
