How to add a new unit into game

[Intra]

Yes, exactly it was animations-related problem. Basic prefix fooled me.

Thanks!

[Gigantus]

Glad this got fixed.

EDIT: Problem solved

[gamer025]

Where can I find "battle_models.modeldb" it doesn't seem to exist.

Is it a mod, vanilla or a Kingdoms campaign? Vanilla and Kingdoms campaigns, you have to unpack first.

56 must be 58

now i check that all of ur codes has wrong numbers.count and correct them.

[irishron]

There is a good way to count using Notepad++. Along the bottom is the line number and last position of the cursor on that line. Now subtract 4 and you should have a good number.

Hello Obeseian. Try this. They are 3 lines of mesh files.

The incorrect count of the numbers is another matter. I meant to point I've marked, that I think he hasn't understood what you said before. But it is corrected and already, nothing happens.

Karaislam, I actually thought that the numbers were well numbered, I not imagined that had so many bad, hehehe!, sorry

You're welcome. I'm glad it works for you. Greetings!

Was wondering if anyone could help solve my issue with importing Kingdoms units. I successfully added Canons of the Holy Etc. as well as Hospitaller Sergeants. Next I went to add in the Dismounted Ritt from Teutonic (giving my Holy Roman Empire a nice edge). I have the Unspecified Error. I've checked, and rechecked that the mesh/texture files are in place. I increased my Serialization count by 2 (One for the unit and one for the armor upgrade) I removed the Priority Recruit Offset from the EDU after copy/pasting it in. Unit cards and Info cards are in the lovely Unified folder (an idea I read from a Gigantus post) and added the appropriate listing in the EDU. This also happens (the overall issue) if I take Ritts out and try to add Templar Crossbowmen, or any other unit. Could I have hit the 500 mark on the EDU? Does that give an Unspecified Error? Lastly, I ran the checkmodeldb and it gives me a blank document (which I assume is a good sign).

I've been at this for a few days, off and on (as my temper cools from a failure).
Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Edit: Just check with notepad++ and I have 455 entries in EDU, so that rules out that possibility.
Edit #2: Not sure why it worked, but putting the Dismounted Ritt above the already working Hospitaller Sergeants got the entire file to read.

[Gigantus]

Some weird formatting at the end of the hospitaller unit? Try moving that unit up in the file to see if that might be the cause.

[irishron]

You add it to retrofit whit GUAM, it will crash, guaranteed under these circumstances. You will need to remove a unit for your new one to have a chance not to crash it.

For it to show up in vanilla, you will need the unit info in the modeldb and the io switch in the medieval2.preferences.cfg and have it set to read-only.
