    Default Custom Unit name won't show

    I started making a mod ages ago back with patch 1.2 or something. I gave up becuase my custom units name wouldn't show. I restarted today with no avail it won't show the name and i even tried to rename a existing unit but it shows with the same name as in vanilla.

    I have read through posts and threads on the matter and tried everything expect editing patch_en.pack, becuase it casues trouble. Any help on the matter would be much appreciated, i don't know if it helps but i have Vista

    EDIT:

    I tried Additional units mod and it worked

    I then tried to copy one of the units and it now crashes apond start up

    ok my man I know how to fix this,(IM USING PFM FOR THIS)
    Go ahead and open up the dreaded patch_en.pack, upon fully opening it up go ahead and go to file--> Save as and save it as "My_mod_en" or watever (try to have _en in thar though) and then go to the text subsection and finally to the localization section, from there click on the Tag collum to organize them. After its done sorting go ahead and scroll down till u see "units_on_screen_name_euro_line infantry" from there select the entire row and clone it, (notice pfm will shoot u to the bottom, since this where things would usually go, however we sorted the stuff, so just go up and find your cloned row *t will be right below or above the original row u cloned) and then find your cloned row and erase the "euro_line_infantry" part that is in the first cell and replace that with your custom units name (the one u put in the first cullum of the units_tables) then in the next cell and (second cullom) and write your units nickname, after your done go ahead and clik off of the localization sub section and clik on ui, the localization subsection will turn read, after seeing this go ahead and go to file--> save.
