How to add a new unit into game

[Gigantus]

Check the last line in post #173 referring to the texture files:

You did not mention that you copied them from crusades into SS6.3 - please do so

.

The line is correct acording the post 173.

I am talking of the graphic files, not the entry in the modeldb.

[-=Psych0=-]

And where are the graphic files?

[Gigantus]

data/unit_models/_Units/ME_Mail_Plate_Hvy_Mplate/textures/ME_super_heavy_Mail_Plate_egypt.texture
(I am sure now you see how it works?)

[-=Psych0=-]

No, sry. What i need to modified the file?

And this is the file that i have to change?
Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\unit_models\_units\me_mail_plate_hvy_mplate\textures\me_super_heavy_Mail_Plate_egypt.texture

now i copy the original files *.texture of Kingdoms and it works fine.

Thank you very much very much very much very much.

Hello,
I am trying to add a new unit following the tutorial. In fact, the unit name is the same as in the tutorial (ionian_hoplite)
I get a CTD before the splash screen.

·The number in the top is increased
·The new unit is in the middle of the file
·The textures and meshes are renamed

Anyone knows where is the problem? Thank you very much

[Hector Barbossa]

Hi there i think this is your problem i think you might have to change 6 france to 14 ionian_hoplite

6 france
60 unit_models/_Units/new_folder/textures/ionian_hoplite.texture
67 unit_models/_Units/new_folder/textures/ionian_hoplite_normal.texture
49 unit_sprites/england_Dummy_EN_Spearmen_sprite.spr

[Kolwen]

It didn't work

[Moon]

Me thinks there is a lot wrong with your entries, change everything to this and rename your mesh files to match. Haven't got the game loaded so we'll use you as the guinea pig to test things. Crash before splash screen is the battlemodels file which has to be corrected before we move onto the entry in the EDU.

Why are supposed to be wrong? My text is exactly like in the tutorial.

[Moon]

What did it say in the error log?

[Kolwen]

The same as last time
00:51:16.781 [system.io] [info] open: found mods/Bare_Kingdoms/data/unit_models/battle_models.modelDB (from: E:\Juegos\Medieval II Total War)
00:51:16.843 [system.rpt] [error] Uh oh. This isn't good. No idea why, but exiting now. Sorry pal.
without previous error

[Kolwen]

414 entries :S

[irishron]

How many entries in your EDU?

[Moon]

If you haven't made any other changes in the battlemodels file try this one, post your log entries if it crashes.

[Kolwen]

It worked!! What did you do my friend??
