copying units from one faction to another

[muffinhead]

first off, let me state that i am playing DLV, so it would probably make your job a lot easier if you played this.

For the past few weeks, i have been trying to, unsuccessfully, add sergeant swordsmen, musketeers, and sergeant spearmen to the Teutonic Orders roster. I gotta be honest, i dont think i have ever pressed uninstall and install so many times in my life. no matter what i try, it will not work, and i give up completely. I cannot do it, and i give up trying. The tutorial to adding units to other factions was very nice, but i cannot use it because i am adding a newly created unit into a newly created factions, and the steps are all off. I got as far as adding the word teutons to each era under ownership in the EDU. I also added the unit and unit info from england (picked a random faction) to the teutons in the UI folder. Problem: the unit card is fine, but the actual soldiers on the battlefield are invisible and i dont think they are trainable.

i am sorry for this extremely cumbersome writing, but i am on the edge of killing someone, anyone to take out my frustration

thanks in advance guys.

To make units recruitable you need to add them to the file export_descr_buildings.

To solve your invisible units problem you need to go to data\units_models folder and open battle_models.modeldb and add the skins to the nation. Use this to help understand what to add, but you can also work it out by looking at other entries.
