What is my mistake here?

Ritterbruder vs. Varangian Guard and Kataphractoi or SS versus BC...





OK, I wanted to use some of the BC Roman units in SS (to conquer Sicily, of course).

The foot units worked fine.
The mounted units worked fine as well (but using SS mount models).

However the engine cannot seem to found the model for the mounts of both Kataphractoi and Proniarioi.

The files I altered were the EDU, the desrc_mounts and the modeldb and of course I copied the texture files in the right places. I know the textures are OK because I can superimpose those to existing mount models in Vanilla or SS.

But where should I look for the mount model?

ok this is way over my head. perhaps PM Strelac (Miraj is AWOL), tell him who you are and say i sent you. Strelac can be wary of strangers. He's got a gun so make sure you dont walk on his lawn.

Garb, the entries that define the mount are in EDU (determines what mount type will untis ride), in the MDB (determines what model and texture) and in Descr_mount (declares the mount type). You may not be having the 3rd file setup right.

[Garbarsardar]

Well, I think I simply don't have the model (from skeletons.pack) since SS and BC use different packs. That is why when I use your texture with SS mounts the layers are off...

[Strelac]

I see.
The models and textures for both mounts are in the "Romans" folder under the BC unit_models directory.
I dont have the files in front of me, but EDu entries for full cat is "mount full kat" and for half cat "mount half kat". If you crossreference these in the descr_mount, you will find what the name of the model entry in the MDB is so you can copy it in your SS MDB.
