Stavis: your Azgeth mod caused the game to crash due to 'bad start site #'

I tried running it with CBM, which may have been the problem, but I didn't think CBM changed many site #s...

Can you refer to sites by name, or does it require site# input? I can go look those up...

It's using site 800 for the "Elludian Academy", which it then refers to by name (as required) in the #startsite command.

I can't troubleshoot this right now, but if I get a chance I'll see if I can figure out what's going on; in the meantime, you might look for any #newsite 800 lines in other mods you've got enabled?

Ok, so, I briefly plugged in the mod last night (and noticed I forgot to add a #descr for the nation) but (with all other mods disabled) it did not throw any bad start site errors. I did notice there was an extra "Azgeth" folder in the zip - just make sure the .dm is in the mods folder, and the "Azgeth" folder containing the 2 images is also in the mods folder.

I didn't have time to try it with CBM also enabled, so I can only assume there is a conflict, though I tried to choose numbers that didn't match the ranges that CBM uses.

In any case, for me at least, you get the expected recruitable roster, sites (including the new one), and starting troops.

If I get a chance, I'll see if I can determine what the conflict is, but I can't promise anything soon as I'm quite busy with "real life" at the moment.

Ok, so it's a conflict with CBM 1.6 I had looked in Gregstrom's cross reference, and I guess it hasn't been updated since CBM 1.5 (or I haven't re-downloaded, or I'm just blind, always possible )

Anyway, the conflict is because of this in CBM 1.6:

--Man ME

#newsite 800
#name "Forest of Avalon "
#homemon 64
#gems 6 3
#path 6
#end

#selectnation 30
#addreccom 212
#addrecunit 65
#clearsites
#startsite "Forest of Avalon "
#startsite "Tower of Avalon"
#end

I've updated the Azgeth mod code to use a different site (801), and also updated the unit numbers (now using 3000-3009), since that range overlaps this mod too. I also fixed an issue with the pretender based heroes showing up in the pretender list.

I *think* it's all working now, but I haven't really put it through its paces, and probably won't soon.
