Missing unitcards and textures

**Barendz** · January 15, 2009, 04:58 AM

I noticed a couple of times now there are some units in DLV that have no unique unitcard and no propper texture in battle.

When playing as britain one of the irish cities was filled with them (raiders and some others) and now playing as turkey some units of arab cavalary and spear militia have it aswell.

Their unit card looks like a peasant with a dagger and in a battle their textures are green/gray, they remind me of the ghost army in one of the asterix and obelix movies

Is this normal or is there something wrong with my instalation? Im sorry I cant provide screenshots, for some reason when I make a screenshot in DLV it turns out completely black.

Regards,

Barendz

It's quite normal considering the latest DLV version is an open beta (in a real release they'll be fixed hopefully) - all it means is that the units don't really belong to your faction, so in battle they'll show up as silver surfers. However they work perfectly fine like normal, and cause no CTD's.

Im not playing the open beta, im using 5.74. Forgot to mention that. Youre right about them working correctly though.

It sounds like factions have been given units they shouldn't have. If you can tell me the faction, unit and location involved so I can fix them I'd appreciate it.

There are multiple but I dont know them all from the top of my head. Ill look into it tomorrow morning, I wanna get some sleep now

One I know for sure is Kingdom of England, the most western city in Ireland (I think its Cork but I could be wrong). The units are called raiders. In that same city are more types of units without unitcards but I cant remember the names right now. I guess they are Irish units belonging to England. Note: I didnt test these Irish units in battle, I assumed they will have no texture in battle because a unit of Arab cavalry in my Turkish campaign had no unit card and no textue in battle. I cant remember which region those cavalry came from tough.

Ill update my post tomorrow. Thanks for the help

i had some family members that got their "face" all screwed up. unfortunatly i did not take any screens, but it was fun. The General was something different all the time!, a baltic hunter, a port, the face of another general.
Hell, maybe he was mystique from the x men

Thankyou Barendz, I take it you're playing the historical campaign.

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to editing this stuff and it's showing right now, I can't seem to work out how these units are turning up in Edessa and Tabriz.

The england stuff was straight forward but I'm baffled about the turkey stuff, perhaps it's already been fixed in 5.8beta3:hmmm:

EDIT: Ah ok found em

Uploaded them here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...16#post4288216

Should work fine for 5.74 too but they're not savegame compatible, you'd have to start a new campaign to see any difference.

**Barendz** · January 17, 2009, 07:33 AM

Thank you very much! Ill test them out. It was the historical campaign indeed.

(I really should spam those last 28 posts so I can give rep

)

EDIT: Im not sure if they work with 5.74. I started a new campaign with England and got a CTD (unspecified error) when the loading screen was finished.

**Taiji** · January 17, 2009, 08:22 AM

Oh dear, sorry about that. They're working now for me with 5.8beta3, it was easy to do so I can upload a fixed 5.74 version if you like.

I'd highly recommend using 5.8beta3 instead though, it is much improved.

**Barendz** · January 17, 2009, 09:10 AM

No worries, I made a backup. Dont bother on the 5.74 fix. Ill get the 5.8 beta. Thanks!

Sorry to bump this but I found some new ones.

In version 6.0, Historical campaign, in Iconium (Anatolia) there are 2 units of Dismounted Sipahi Lancers without textures.

Taiji, you seem to have fixed those other units pretty fast, maybe you could do these aswell? Anyway, Im just pointing them out for anyone who wants to know, no demands implied
