you need to change these 2 values to the number in red. I think if you dont the game wont even load. But start there first.

[christophus]

thanks, i try this now

[christophus]

no, it dont load :d
a precision, i duplicate and rename the 3 necessary files in unit_sprites, based on moors (or turks..) in the original data these :
timurids_hashishim_sprite.spr
timurids_hashishim_sprite_000.texture
timurids_hashishim_sprite_001.texture

Hi christophus,

I think your mistakes are in these lines:
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod0.mesh 121
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod1.mesh 1225
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod2.mesh 6400
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod3.mesh 121
should be:
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod0.mesh 121
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod1.mesh 900
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod2.mesh 2500
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod3.mesh 6400

I hope this helps... Otherwise, check if all numbers before evey line are correct.

EDIT: forget what i said above, I have just seen there is actually no "lod3" for hashishim, therfore the lines should be :
9 hashishim
1 3
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod0.mesh 121
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod1.mesh 1225
68 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/hashishim_lod2.mesh 6400

also check the numbers, before your "timurid" lines. They must be esactly the number of letters and numbers in this line.

[christophus]

thx a lot KK for your participation, and i must say to you a great great BRAVO for you very good job on this mod ! so i'll verify the syntax of line now..

[christophus]

it dont start... do i need to duplicate the sprite of one and rename it like timurids_Hashishim_sprite.spr ? from turks_Hashishim_sprite.spr for example ?

so its always start with the original battle_models...

[christophus]

with or without copy & rename the 3 sprite files it dont start.. im no lucky !

[christophus]

its fine now, juste here
94 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/textures/me_leather_lamallea_timurids.texture
92 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/textures/me_leather_lamallea_normal.texture
39 unit_sprites/timurids_Hashishim_sprite.spr
is 42 not 39
start to test it now,
thx to all

your character count for the sprites is off...

Using the turkish sprite, I got the following code to work:

EDIT - too slow...looks like you figured it out.

[christophus]

i cant find what you change ?
yau talk about duplicate the sprite found in C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\unit_sprites ?
or you just modify something to the battle_models.modeldb ?

[christophus]

oh sorry, i find what you modify, thx

[christophus]

Yeah !! all works fine now, i have just use the unpacker tool after installing SS4, so forgot tot remove 2 files, and modify the shortcut and IT S WORK VERY FINE NOW !!! thx for all
Knight Templar can be frighten now !!!

[Mike13531]

that's strange, o____o, it shouldn't be able to run, wait a min, is there even a timurid texture anyways??? i personally just used a texture from another faction, like the halbert militia from timurids, i gave them to mongols (cause they are the best and timurids does not deserve them, ), anyways, i just gave them the timurids texture.
so i don't get it, do they have textures for every factions??? or timurids just have it for hashashim?

[christophus]

i use one of islamic faction, like Turks, so it works fine with Turks one.
I try to copy & rename one of this but its dont necessary (thanks to OTZ)

but but... O_O
i meant this

92 unit_models/_Units/ME_Leather_Lamallae_Brigadine/textures/me_leather_lamallea_normal.texture

[OTZ]

that texture isn't unit specific, so in this case, it's the timurid texture being applied to the Hashishim mesh/model
