Black screen when adding unit

[Swagger]

hi there



i was adding a new unit and i was stuck, everytime i do anything (in the battle models)the game gets a black screen when opening the splash screen

i know it's an error from battle_models, but i really don't know where's the problem


here's the entry:

any help is greatly apreaciatted (sp)

You have got the same sprite for two different textures, that might be the problem.
If this is a complete new unit, you will have to increase the number in the first line.

PS: if you want to use it for jerusalem then you will have to give ownership to jerusalem in the EDU.

[Swagger]

the sprites mean nothing


and the ownership is meanless


the problem is IN THE BATTLE_MODELS, focus your attention on it..

[Gigantus]

You might want to try this tool: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=1180
You will have to edit the checker to include all your non standard factions.

[Swagger]

my battle_models is already formatted

[Gigantus]

I am not talking about formatting, I am talking about checking.
And this is the first line in the ModelDB I was talking about earlier on:

22 serialization::archive 3 0 0 0 0 858 0 0

You have to increase the number in blue by one if you have added a new unit.

[Swagger]

i know that


and i added of course, i've already added a bunch of new units, but i haven't reached the limit (500)

:hmmm:

[Uryens]

The only thing I see out of place is this

9 jerusalem
68 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final Heater Special_antioch_diff.texture
68 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final Heater Special_antioch_norm.texture
0 <-----
7 antioch
68 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final Heater Special_antioch_diff.texture
68 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final Heater Special_antioch_norm.texture
0 <-----

I looked in my models file and I dont have those zeros.
