Elephant Unit!

[Vernah]

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone had access or have an elephant unit that used either a bow/crossbow/javelin instead of arquebus. I'd like to give the kwarz an elephant unit to be used in the earlier eras that didn't have arquebus' and acted like a king tiger tank from ww2 that pwns all. If anyone has a guide or linky to the solution or even the file(s) that can make it, I'd appreciate it greatly! Thanks for your replies!

Why not just add king tiger tank?

[bɑne]

Cause it wasnt in production back then

[Point Blank]

Import the Mumakils from TATW

Im gonna try piecing the different threads on people have done it, I sent some PMs to the guys that were able to do it but haven't gotten a reply for a long time. Ill see about importing that unit and see what I can do haha!

Alrite so here is what I've managed to do so far, atm I keep getting CTD instantly on start up, so any help is appreciated.

Im attempting to use the Broken Crescent 2.0 since they already have elephant jav, archer and even bodyguard units. So what ive done is put the unit in the EDU as well as go through the model_db and copy paste the stuff inside. However I realized that the path folders were all directed to the ones in the levy folder (in BC 2.0 unit_model folder) and simply copy pasted that whole folder into my SS unit_model folder haha. I then looked on these forums to see if my model_db was still wrong, but I guess its space sensitive? So I began going through the blob of text and making it look prettier. I then looked at my EDU file again at the elephant javmen, and realized the mount was "bc elephant" which I dont think SS has, so could that just be changed to a regular elephant? Anyways, here is my stuff:
