I have a problem with unit models...

[cyranodeventura]

I'm playing as the Greek City States and I wanted the classic Corinthian style helmets for the hoplites. I rewrote the Descriptive Model Battle file and used some of KLA models. Then I dropped in the models and textures in the RTR Model_units folder. It worked on my vanilla version of Rome Total War, but for some reason now when I load a battle it crashes and says that the file name data/models_units/Thespian_Hoplite.CAS could not be found. I have checked the models_unit in the RTR folder and it's there, I even placed a copy of the model in data/model just because the errors described file path doesn't seem to actually exist anymore. So how do I fix this? Any and all help would be much appreciated.

Be sure you`ve set the correct path. Firstly, what version of RTR are you using?
Assuming you use either RTR 6 Gold or the no mod switch version of RTRPE, the models and textures install inside a RTR sub-forum:
Rome - Total War\Data\RTR\models_unit\textures
and there is also the old vanilla path:
Rome - Total War\Data\models_unit\textures
Make sure that the place where you`ve placed the files is correctly referred to in DMB. If you`ve placed them inside the RTR sub-folder like in my first example you need to have a path like so in DMB:

type				bactrian_cataphract
skeleton			fs_s1_hc_archer, fs_hc_spearman
indiv_range			40
texture				thrace, data/RTR/models_unit/textures/bactria_cavalry_iranian.tga
model_flexi			data/RTR/models_unit/shared_masked_cataphract_high.cas, 15
model_flexi			data/RTR/models_unit/shared_masked_cataphract_med.cas, 30
model_flexi			data/RTR/models_unit/shared_masked_cataphract_low.cas, 40
model_flexi			data/RTR/models_unit/shared_masked_cataphract_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite			thrace, 60.0, data/RTR/sprites/thrace_bactrian_cataphract_sprite.spr
model_tri			400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

Much obliged, I discovered that the Greek Hoplites were missing the RTR in the model path and was able to fix it in a pinch.
