adding mamluks to other faction (cant find unit tga)

[hachel]

hi there,
I'm trying to add the egyptian mamluks to another faction.
i followed this tutorial: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=74945
and it worked.
I just have a problem with the unit symbol in a battle.

12) Now if you want Dismounted Conquistadores to have also an unit card and an info card...
Then Medieval II Total War\data\ui\units\spain or portugal and copy #dismounted_conquistadores
to Medieval II Total War\data\ui\units\france

The thing is I cant find anything called mamluk in the egypt folder so in a custom battle they have the symbol of a guy with a knife in his hands.

Mamluks are a vanilla unit so unless SS specifically changes a file for it, it doesn't have to be included in the SS install (the game just uses the vanilla file). So to get their unit card pic you're gonna have to unpack it from the vanilla files using the unpacking tool in M2TW\tools\unpacker.

However, it's not wise to unpack everything as this can cause problems in running your game. So when I need to unpack stuff, I tell the program to put the unpacked files into another directory and I specify to only get the files I need. Use the following in a .bat file to run the unpacker program to do this:

unpacker.exe --source=..\..\packs\*.pack --destination=c:\packs\text\ --filter=*.tga --verbosity=1
