HELP!!my units doesn't work!

[venafrus89]

Hi!
I've made a new unit...marsiglia line infantry....using the french line infantry row in PFM.
I can see the unit in he french roster in Cb but when i try to start a battle with it the game CTD.
I've assigned to the unit the french line infantry texture...I haven't change the texture in db\unit...have I to create a copy of french line infantry texture renaiming it in marsiglia line infantry and assign it to my unit?
Or I've made some other mistake?

When the CTD happens in the first part of the loadingscreen, it almost got something to do with the link of the model in the warscape_... files

Uhm...warscape files??I don't have modded those files maybe are them.
However the CTD happens when finish to load the CB...when the loading stream get full the game CTD.
Do you know how I can change the warscape or if there is a tutorial?Is my first prove in modding.
Thanks a lot!

I hope I understood it right.

You create a new unit and didn't change an existing one.

A new unit need a new mesh files. Empire can't use same named mesh for more then one unit.

Take them from line infantry and rename to yours. Don't forget to change the model name in unit_stats_land.

Well the tutorial of powerwizard is a must have for beginners, but also some advice from me

-keep it simple: don't fool around with different names within your modding, always use the name you're using to your skin, copy paste it in the fields where it is needed
-only use the models you need: check what model fits to your project, i always go to patch.pack and delete all the units not needed for my mod the rest is exported by tsv, you'll need them later, now DON'T SAVE, JUST LEAVE THE PFM AND START OVER.

Now add folders like told in powerwizards tutorial and then simply extract the tsv's to your mod,

-change the logs as you like to have
-in the warscape files you dont need to rename the models, use the given ones, just edit the link to your unit in the last column and never forget to change the column of numbers in the first column to e.g 000000001,000000002,000000003,000000004 , for new units use new numbers

and in the second one just add the name of your unit after the "unitmodels/textures/"-string

then in the units.db change the model to your units name, so it may work

As you told you can see your unit in the selection so the formation of the unit and unitstats must be ok, i donÄt know what else could be the problem

But maybe I come up with something.

If you got further problems upload your file and someone will have a look at that
