unit cards small prob

[tehhaxxor23]

when adding unit cards, I put the one .tga which is called #<directory_unitname> in ui\units\parthia\, and the other info card in ui\unit_info\parthia. but it just would not work and still show me the grey peasant. is there a common problem with adding cards for parthia? the directory names are 100% correct.

the unitcard name has to be the excact name of the unit
and in capitals
for example
#SPARTAN_HOPLITE_PYLOS
SPARTAN_HOPLITE_PYLOS_INFO

yes they are.. see here:

type immortals
dictionary immortals
category infantry
class spearmen
voice_type Medium_1
soldier persian_immortals, 60, 0, 0.8
(...)

and the filenames are:
UI\UNITS\PARTHIA\#IMMORTALS.tga
and
UI\UNIT_INFO\PARTHIA\IMMORTALS_INFO.tga

the unit itself works and has the correct model and everything, just not the cards in the menues

and I didn't quite catch up with this pak extracting. I'm using patch 1.5 and alexander addon. I've extracted ui_01.pak, replaced the files I want to be replaced, but how do I repack it?

copy your ui folder from pak extractor into your data directory and then do the putting the ui cards but the name of your UI cards should be:
#PERSIAN_IMMORTALS.TGA
PERSIAN_IMMORTALS_INFO.TGA
it should of been that

You don't need to. What you need to do is move your UI pak file to a safe location, and in its place create a blank .txt file with an identical name to the pak file in the pak folder. So long as your newly made cards are in the appropriate directories, it should show up in game.

Try looking at this for further instruction.
