2 quick questions

[Athenean21]

1) which files should i edit to have shared ownership of the unit? So far i moved unit cards into the other factions subfolder and edited the edu file ownership line. The units appear on custom battles unit selection of the new faction but when it loads the battle it crashes.
2) how can i edit the resource that generals are named of (for greek faction) i.e. instead of xxxxx of Dyrrachium to have xxxxx of thebes. This of course is not about original family members its about captains that promote to generals and adoptions thru marriages

Thanks

Moved both unit and unit_info cards?

data/descr_names.txt and data/text/names.txt

thanks again Aradan. Here is an update.
the unit plays now in custom battle but it goes like this. for greek units i put in macedon faction it has painted them black (not looking good). for macedon units i put in greeks it painted them white. may i should add another sprite line below the original sprite line in descr_model_battle for the other faction telling the computer to keep the same sprite?

You need to edit the DMB file and add an entry for the sprites/skins for the new faction (make it look like the old one but with the new factions name).

if i get that right apart from editing the DMB i will have to save as (new owning faction) the original sprite in the data/sprites subfolder.
Right? Or thats not needed because i want the original unit appeance (unlike the roman factions which use different colourd for same units)

You don't need to do anything to the picture files if you want the unit to look the same for the new faction. For example if you had the above lines for sprites/textures to give the same texture to armenia you would add two lines to the above entry so it looks like this:

.
.
.
texture			parthia, data/models_unit/textures/MOUNT/camel_cataphract_parthia_wb.tga
texture			armenia, data/models_unit/textures/MOUNT/camel_cataphract_parthia_wb.tga.
.
.
model_sprite		parthia, 100.0, data/sprites/parthia_camel_cataphract_sprite.spr
model_sprite		armenia, 100.0, data/sprites/parthia_camel_cataphract_sprite.spr.
