Standard log entries. Nothing to worry about.

Compress your EDU and modeldb and attach. I will check them properly and come back.

**Gigantus** · October 08, 2009, 09:21 PM

You are using a non formatted modeldb, by the looks.

Check here for formatted versions

**uurnammu** · October 09, 2009, 02:39 AM

Then what?

**lagune** · October 10, 2009, 07:16 PM

Hi gigantus,

I need your help

what I was triyng to do is to create a new unit for SS6.1 more exact...royal dismounted hasham...a mixture of dismounted hasham body and ...dismounted sipahi lancers shield and spear...took MESH file for sipahi dismounted_sipahi_lancers_ug2 from MTW2 and merged with dismounted hasham_ug1 to create my new unit MS3D..after I converted back in MESH file to have royal_dismounted_hasham_ug1_lod0-3...so far so good...howevr to edit EDU and Battle_models was a challenge...in EDU I used Dismounted Sipahi Lancers as core ( based on the fact that is a spear unit) and in Battle_models I used same thing..only that I left entry for only royal_dismounted_hasham_ug1 cause no upgrade for this unit...after all textures were copy paste in to the right place(some textures were missing in SS6.1 file but present into MTW2 one) (unit_model, _unit; me_mail_plate_hvy_mplate as per instructons in Battle_Models cause I used core from sipahi unit)...when double click on SS6.1 icon to start game it<s loding I see as the games start the uploading screenshot of the game and right after 2-3 sec CTD..I suppose is something with the MESH file or texture however after 2 days of checking I cant find the issue. If not to much to ask pls have a look on my attachements and let me know. Thank you

My original battlemodels looks exactly the same

**Gigantus** · October 09, 2009, 05:12 AM

Maybe you misunderstood me: please upload your whole modeldb file and whole export_descr_unit file. I can then use a checker to look for incorrect entries.

**uurnammu** · October 09, 2009, 05:51 AM

i did sry

**uurnammu** · October 09, 2009, 05:52 AM

how do i send it :S

**Gigantus** · October 09, 2009, 09:16 AM

The easiest way will be to compress the files with WinZip or 7Zip. These are programs that are freely available, a little 'googling' will help you there.
You then click on the 'Go Advanced' button under the Quick Reply window'.

Below the reply window is now a window "Additional Options"
There you will see a button "Manage attachments". Clicking it opens a small window that lets you browse for the files you want to attach. Please note the list "Valid extensions" for extensions that your files can have.

**Gigantus** · October 10, 2009, 09:50 PM

I am sorry, but there I don't really have much expertise. You might get better response in the
Skins, Models, and Animations forum

**uurnammu** · October 11, 2009, 06:56 AM

**Gigantus** · October 11, 2009, 08:37 AM

**lagune** · October 11, 2009, 10:35 AM

Thank you ...I guess is a matter of texture cause I created only the mesh but i didnt create the texture and that must be the problem I will see the tutorials there. Thank you
