Ahh the inconfundable smell of people going

and

because of the modeldb...

I think what youre forgetting is increasing the serialization number

22 serialization::archive 3 0 0 0 0 1112 0 0

You need to increase that every time you add another unit

**balix** · August 05, 2009, 05:25 AM

I never heard about that.. I try it... Thanks for Your assistance!! Now I know why I wasn't able to add units manually... thanks! But in 1.1 i add upgrades (about 8) without increasing serialization... strange

EDIT: You're going to be my master... it WORKS!!! Thank you very much!

EDIT2: Now I need help with something.. Dismounted Numenorians.. they are in battle_models.modelsdb , they are in export_descr_unit.txt and everything is fine , but i can't see them in custom battle, believe me. What about this ?

check if they have no_custom in abilty line in EDU

**balix** · August 05, 2009, 11:14 AM

Ok. I'm beginner so... what is EDU?
And why in 1.2 patch archers can't use flaming missiles ?

**balix** · August 05, 2009, 11:22 AM

ok they have no_custom.. what now? <--- nevermind i remove it and it's ok
Can I restore flaming missiles to elves ? (how)
I noticed that in 1.2 patch all Silvan Heavy Archers in squad (Sindar too) have fine bows (looks like tiger - sorry my english is really bad) but Eldar Archers have an old ones... So Can I somehow give them same bows as silvan ? (How to do it)

**asn** · August 05, 2009, 07:52 AM

Does it have "no custom" in its EDU line or are you sure you listed its ownership in there?

**axnsan** · August 05, 2009, 11:18 AM

export_descr_units

And only elven archers can't

**axnsan** · August 05, 2009, 11:25 AM

Remove the no_custom.

For the falming elven missles, just go to descr_projectile

Find this:

Code:

projectile elven_arrow_fiery

flaming		arrow
effect 			arrows_fire_new_set
end_effect				arrow_flaming_impact_ground_set
end_man_effect			man_impact_tiny_set
end_package_effect    	arrow_flaming_impact_wall_set
end_shatter_effect		arrow_flaming_impact_ground_set
end_shatter_man_effect		man_impact_tiny_set
end_shatter_package_effect	arrow_flaming_broken_impact_wall_set

effect_offset -0.85
damage		0
radius		0.1
mass		0.05
accuracy_vs_units		0.075
affected_by_rain
fiery
min_angle	-60
max_angle	65
velocity	20	48
display		aimed
effect_only

Just change "flaming arrow" to "flaming elven_arrow"

Jesus!! You're great and now i'm feeling like a super n00b... but can You help me with it too?

I noticed that in 1.2 patch all Silvan Heavy Archers in squad (Sindar too) have fine bows (looks like tiger - sorry my english is really bad) but Eldar Archers have an old ones... So Can I somehow give them same bows as silvan ? (How to do it)

**axnsan** · August 05, 2009, 11:34 AM

Well those are Mallorn bows(grows only in lothlorien) so giving them to eldars won't make sense. And it would also require you to edit the models

**balix** · August 05, 2009, 11:40 AM

Because my brain is complicated I'll try to explain this... So I was angry there is no armour upgrades so I started editing silvan elves (because I'm playing them).
Silvan hevy archers have green cloaks, as an upgrade i gave them blue from sindar archers... as a next upgrade i gave them eldar archers armour... So I want it like that in 1.2 patch, but when I saw this Mallorn bows... In eldar upgrade there is only a few.... So can You give me tutorial how to do it? (I have GIMP) (I hate swords that silvan heavy archers have...) wait that was sindar with 2handed swors.. ahhh never mind I just want to make an upgrade for silvan heavy archers with eldar armour with Mallorn bows....

Its a long and involed process and takes time to learn. You need to be able to do, skinning, Uv Mapping and modelling.

**balix** · August 05, 2009, 04:08 PM

I did it and it works.... in 1.1 patch... I just removed two other bows in milkshape... but in 1.2 it is.....You know... bow in men or around him... how to fix that thing ? Any help?
With 1.1 patch it's working perfectly...
