Any know issues with adding companions to Diplomacy?

[Mephansteras]

I've integrated Diplomacy into a mix mod that I've been working on. Mostly just items and some new troop types so far. I went to add in some new companions, but they refuse to show up anywhere. Everything compiles fine, but they just refuse to spawn. The game does crash if I try to load a game that had them if I remove those changes, though, so obviously they are there in some capacity.

I've tested those same companions on a copy of vanilla warband and they work fine, so obviously there is something in my mix of stuff that's causing a problem. Since I understand what Diplomacy has done the least, I figured I'd see if there were any known issues.

I spent a while searching threads here, but didn't find anything.

Anyone have any ideas?

There shouldn't be any problems. I made three of my own for myself. Just copy and paste the relevant files into the module_scripts, module_strings, and module_troops, and do whatever else you have to do for it.

You must have made a few mistakes with the script, perhaps a misplaced barrack or parentheses. But in order for companions to appear in the game you obviously have to start a new game, and make sure you look around everywhere.

That means you accidentally remove troops from the troop.txt, so the game is looking for a certain number of troops that don't exist anymore. It honestly sounds like you might have accidentally overwritten the troops.txt file with an incorrect file, maybe it happened when you used the module system to rebuild it, and you lost changes you made with Morphs editor directly editing the troop.txt file.

Sorry if I'm not much help, but it might just be easier to start over by organizing all the OSPs and Scripts you plan on using, and then add them to a fresh download of the 4.1 source modules. I can tell you right now you made a mistake somewhere in the scripts- but with that information there is very little else I can tell you then to recheck all your scripts and make sure you installed everything properly.
