Now once again, but where is the log file located? After the crash, the error screen gives me an extension report of the errors which means nothing to me....
the reb look at the photo below, that should point you in the right direction!

Hey Mark,

First off, thanks for creating these mods, great job !!

I also had a crash and here is the error from the log in the Scenario Bragg :

10:00:00 ----------------loading: GFX_USA_Cav_02-4_Run_Dismounted_s
10:00:00 ----------------loading: GFX_USA_Cav_02-2_Kneel_Dismounted_s
10:00:00 ----------------loading: GFX_USA_Cav_02-3_Fire_Dismounted_s
10:00:00 ----------------loading: GFX_USA_Cav_02-3_Load_Dismounted_s
10:00:00 ----------------loading: GFX_USA_Cav_02-7_Death_Dismounted_s
10:00:00 Formation not found: DRIL_LVL3_CAV_COLUMN
10:00:00 BAD FORMATION ID: -1


**** update : I just tested with all mods Disabled and got the same error.. ****

In the scenario.csv file, line 472, column N, shows this "DRIL_LVL3_CAV_COLUMN"
Also found in line 982, column N"DRIL_LVL3_CAV_COLUMN"

I checked out the OOB's - OOB_MP_(M) Chickamauga.csv and OOB_SB_[M] Chickamauga.csv and there are no LVL3 entries in any column in either OOB. That could be the issue..

Hope this helps Mark

Thanks

Chamberlain

The drill lvl 3 lines are the problem. There is no such formation in SoW. They need to be drill lvl 4 and you can fix that by editing your OOB or scenario.csv file. Look for division level commanders and if you see a 3 value in column R, make it a 4.

Easiest to open and edit csv files in Excel. There's an equivalent free spreadsheet editor in OpenOffice as well if you don't have MSOffice.
HITS & Couriers - a different and realistic way to play SoW MP.

LVL3 Corrected....

Now the interesting question:

Since I know LVL3 does not exist, and the Master OOBs do not contain LVL3, and you copy and paste from master OOB to create scenario.csv,

Where did the LVL3 text string magically appear from?
I most certainly did not put it there. And if it is not in the Master OOB, how is it generated?

As I recall, this has happened before.

Hmmmm,

Oh, by the way, thank you all for your help.

In the Bragg Scenario file, Line 982, (Mr. Forrest) in column N there was a LVL3. I changed it to a LVL4. Got same error in log as before. Line 982 in OOB states a LVL4.

I made the change in both csv files from LVL3 to LVL4 in both scenarios and they loaded up fine...

Map looks real good MarkT !!

Thanks Saddletank for the info.

Ok let me see if I get this straight.
In "scenario.csv" from the Bragg and Rosecrans scenarios DRIL_LVL3_CAV_COLUMN was changed to DRIL_LVL4_CAV_COLUMN
BOTH in line 472 and 982 of column N?

If corrected, this should fix the crash.

BUT, If it is LvL3 or LvL4 on my system I get NO crash at all. Weird!!!

Reb,

The OOB's are ok, it was Line 472 column N, and Line 982 column N, that had the LVL3 in the scenario.csv files in both scenarios.

Change to LVL4 in both scenarios and you should be ok.
