Hi Limes,

Your walls look amazing, really adds something to the game. The problem is that some files seem to be missing from the mod. Sections of the wall are missing, just black or sth like that. I haven't really got a clue what it is about, but I could look up some of the error messages.

Any idea how we could best approach this problem?

Hi. First, thanks for compliment about walls.

Second. I don't remember exactly how have you imported AEE walls into RTR.
Maybe here is a problem, because all wall segments in AEE are ok (besides one segment of barbarian wall that had wrong direction (fixed).
So, I need information what (generally) wall files you've got and how they were added to RTR.

Ok. We use your barbarian wooden walls for our second tier, to make those 'walkable' too. Idk how it was done, the guy who imported them left us. Now there seem to be pieces missing. Would it be better to remove them and add the files again from an AEE download?

Hi. And I would like to know what you have in that download :).

Making walls is very stressing work. It needs preparation very long list of actions. Of course I can help with that, but to be frank it would be never-ending story :). That's why we must precisely figure out what we have, then what's wrong.

Ok. I don't really know much about that, but I should be able to make a list with some error messages. Would that be of any help?

Hi. It may help. We'll see.

Nevertheless better way of fixing it would be asking people who had implemented it into RTR what they really did. I don't remember whether I sent you prepared Items (I think so) or sth else. It's important for cure making :).

Ok, it seems like some files are missing. I hope that adding those would solve the issue :)

I just played a custom battle using the walls, which resulted in those two error messages.

Could you also explain how and where to add them to the mod? :)

I think we'll use simplest and shortest way. I will send Items and Bpi files that must be packed in your pack files with buildings and walls.

Ok thanks. Until now, I've received reports about those four files missing:

data/models_building/info/info_walls/limes_wood_wall_tall_ec_info.CAS
data/models_building/info/info_walls/limes_wooden_wall_short_ec_low.CAS
data/models_building/info/info_walls/limes_wood_wall_tall_ic_info.CAS
data/models_building/info/info_walls/limes_wooden_wall_short_ic_low.CAS

When you want, you can mail them to me, my e-mail should be available to you through these forums or TWC.

Thanks! That video looks pretty awesome mate :D

Is that the latest version of your environment? And with the RTW engine?

Thanks Maurits. I've got more sweet candies (soon) :).

Yes. The newest environment I still work on. Few of climates are finished already. Movies was made using BI.exe. Nothing's changed in this matter in AEE :). The fact is I spent much time making AEE climates from scratch (geography, terrain, environment, skies, txt files adjusting visual side of the game).

Btw, I would like to avoid talking about making wall process. It would take too much time. I will prepare BPI and ITEMS for you. It's enough to pack it and walls should work.

It's likely sending files won't be necessary.

Check you have following files:

limes_wood_wall_tall_ec_watchtower_info.cas
limes_wood_wall_tall_ic_watchtower_info.cas

Above files are the same as

data/models_building/info/info_walls/limes_wood_wall_tall_ec_info.CAS
data/models_building/info/info_walls/limes_wood_wall_tall_ic_info.CAS

It's enough to change names of files or change proper txt file path.

I will check "SHORT" versions soon.

This is really weird, but there don't seem to be .cas files at all, just .info ones. Am I doing sth wrong? Wouldn't it be strange if the walls appeared without .cas files?

Let's start again :).

Info files are in cas format. Info files are needed to create BPI files. BPI files must be packed in one of the pack... in MODELS_BUILDING/INFO/INFO_WALLS folder. You don't need half-product (info.cas that are part of complicated process of creating BPI files). You need final product, i.e. ITEMS and BPI.

I said that I will find those ITEMS and BPI. But if you need INFO.cas files you surely have necessary files. The only thing is they have other names

limes_wood_wall_tall_ec_watchtower_info.cas
limes_wood_wall_tall_ic_watchtower_info.cas

are the same files as

limes_wood_wall_tall_ec_info.CAS
limes_wood_wall_tall_ic_info.CAS

Ok, thanks for your patience. I'm trying to get this, but I'll also ask CC to have a look at this. I have a gut feeling that that might make things much eassier :P
