Haha! I arrived here last night and did this exact step on my own with little to no knowledge about how the models worked with each faction, but alas, I deleted it in fear of causing even more problems. I think this will be the final fix in allowing me to completely customize my perfect generals. Much thanks and +rep to you sir.Originally Posted by KnightsTemplar

'Cross race' units will have problem due to the modeldb.
Modeldb only 'supply' units with texture of the specific faction- so that it would be possible to have different texture for different faction's same unit, really useful in the vanilla M2.
Sometimes there would be codes already provided, but the unit is not actually used by the game (yet, maybe) so there would be no problem for you to use them instantly.
It's fully save-compatible and quite simple- if you are careful, that is.
After you get that done, why don't you try also switch the battle model for your general?
You can have a special model like Arnorian armour for you 'Man-ish' general among your Elves.
Same veins with the above change, just that it's not save compatible sadly.[/SPOILER]
Also, are the numbers in modelsdb representative of the actual amount of units in that unit? I was thinking about scaling down the amount of knights in his bodyguard, but didn't know if that was just a matter of a quick fix in the export_units_desc, or if I would have to change it here as well. I guess I'll tinker around with it and find out.
I'll post back if I see further problems, but...
Until then, is the a file that provides which factions are which of the vanilla factions? Such as Silvan -> Mongols and I'm guessing here, but Sicily -> Gondor?
Thanks again!

Again, it's worth noting I have TATW 3.1 plus Baren's mod comp. My modelsdb has basically identical (I seem a few differences entries back to back, if I change one, game won't even start :[. Just goes to a black screen. Any ideas? Or maybe which one I should change?

The number at the start of each line is the number of characters in the line, the space comes between the number and the line e.g.
34 this_is_the_path_to_your_unit.mesh 6400
So the number is the amount of characters in the line.
The red number is probably what stopped it working, it should amount to the following entries, it was 4 but with mongols added it should be 5.Code:16 swan_knights_ug1 1 1 48 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/xx12_lod0.mesh 6400 5 6 sicily 72 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/en_wmail_wmail_poland.texture 72 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/en_wmail_wmail_normal.texture 43 unit_sprites/sicily_swan_knights_sprite.spr 4 merc 72 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/en_wmail_wmail_poland.texture 72 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/en_wmail_wmail_normal.texture 43 unit_sprites/sicily_swan_knights_sprite.spr 5 turks 72 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/en_wmail_wmail_poland.texture 72 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/en_wmail_wmail_normal.texture 43 unit_sprites/sicily_swan_knights_sprite.spr 9 byzantium 72 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/en_wmail_wmail_poland.texture 72 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/en_wmail_wmail_normal.texture 43 unit_sprites/sicily_swan_knights_sprite.spr 7 mongols 72 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/en_wmail_wmail_poland.texture 72 unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/en_wmail_wmail_normal.texture 43 unit_sprites/sicily_swan_knights_sprite.spr 5 6 sicily 57 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final swan_poland_diff.texture 57 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final swan_poland_norm.texture 0 4 merc 57 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final swan_poland_diff.texture 57 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final swan_poland_norm.texture 0 5 turks 57 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final swan_poland_diff.texture 57 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final swan_poland_norm.texture 0 9 byzantium 57 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final swan_poland_diff.texture 57 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final swan_poland_norm.texture 0 7 mongols 57 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final swan_poland_diff.texture 57 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final swan_poland_norm.texture 0

Ah, I see. Although, it seems that I will not be able to make this change. I have made this simple copy and paste, changing sicily to mongols and 6 to 7 but still, just an unexpected error and a black screen. And as soon as I delete the insertion, it works perfectly.

If it crashes you have messed something up
Go into your Medieval II folder/logs and take a look at the log. I am sure it will tell you that there are errors in this file (and btw. will also tell you what lines you made mistakes). If you just place a comma where there shouldn't be one for example: would already mess up the file and could cause a crash.

This was my first thought and usually allows me to fix these things on my own, but this is only thing in logs:If it crashes you have messed something up

Run a trace log, Go into the cfg file, change error to trace and save.

Not sure how much you'd like to see, but as expected it dies somewhere in this neighborhood, as expected I guess:

Would this crash having nothing to do with where it is placed in modelsdb? Like I said earlier I have almost repetitive occurrences of swan_knights

Attach the entire log. This also isn't really a question about the mod so I'd like mod to move this.
Re: - Official 'Ask Questions About TATW 1.0 - 3.1 Here' Thread -
Gah! Such an easy fix once I stared at this long enough, and of course, the advanced search feature for the forums led me to some real tutorials!
The log was unhelpful except for the last few lines, so I saw no reason to attach this as it simply points to the problem (what I expected) and did not describe it (what it did). The questions I had asked stemmed out of models/units/factions/scripts pertaining to the mod. Simple enough I thought the users here would understand the questions better than some script junkie down a forum or two, as TATW users will be versed more in the files/scripts of TATW. Thanks for attempting to help!Attach the entire log. This also isn't really a question about the mod so I'd like mod to move this
Thanks much for the help, if you hadn't pointed this out, I wouldn't have found something fishy to do with the other numbers indicating strings of ints. (What I mean is the numbers signifying how many model lines are to follow for that specific model!). Again! +rep!

Two questions :
First is there a way to kill a character on the campaing map though console commands? or any other away except actually kill it on the battle map? I play with samedi's submod and i unfortunately activated shelob's script ... i move the damn spider away on a god farsaken tiny island and it keeps coming back... i don't want to lose soldiers attacking her ( i did tried once autoresolved with combat odds 20:1 and guess what ... i lost!!
)
Second is it normal to apear an rather advanced army(uruks,olog hai) of mordor in turn 16-17? or the AI gets reinforced because i got into mordor? i got surprised by a full stack led by Sauron (orc general ... how ironic though ... when i saw the character's name i was like "you must being kidding me!!" then i realised he wasn't the real one
) ... i lost denethor and both his sons defending the black gate
