Need some help..

[XxAndrewxX]

Hey guys, I'm currently trying to mod my Seleucid Silver Shield Pikemen. I'm using KLA's Seleucid pack.
What happens is, I load up a custom battle, pick 1 unit of SS's, start it up, and in between loading the battle, Rome freezes and an error message pops up saying something like this: "The memory could not be read.. blah blah.. press 'OK' to terminate the program, 'CANCEl' to debug it".
In DMB I have:

type                greek_argyraspid
skeleton            fs_slow_spearman, fs_slow_swordsman                                    ; combat spear
indiv_range            40
texture                seleucid, data/models_unit/textures/SELEUCID_HOPLITE_ELITE.TGA.dds
model_flexi_m            data/models_unit/MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas, 8
model_flexi_m            data/models_unit/MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas, 15
model_flexi            data/models_unit/MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas, 30
model_flexi            data/models_unit/MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas, 40
model_flexi            data/models_unit/MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas, max
model_sprite        seleucid, 60.0, data/sprites/seleucid_greek_argyraspid_sprite.spr
model_tri            400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

I've placed MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas in data/model_units and SELEUCID_HOPLITE_ELITE.TGA.dds in data/model_units/textures. Now there are also gloss textures, SELEUCID_HOPLITE_ELITE_GLOSS.TGA.DDS and SELEUCID_HOPLITE_ELITE_GLOSS.TGA which are also in data/models_units/texture, and in which case I change DMB to:

type                greek_argyraspid
skeleton            fs_slow_spearman, fs_slow_swordsman                                    ; combat spear
indiv_range            40
texture                seleucid, data/models_unit/textures/SELEUCID_HOPLITE_ELITE.TGA.dds
texture                seleucid, data/models_unit/textures/SELEUCID_HOPLITE_ELITE_GLOSS.TGA
texture                seleucid, data/models_unit/textures/SELEUCID_HOPLITE_ELITE_GLOSS.TGA.DDS
model_flexi_m            data/models_unit/MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas, 8
model_flexi_m            data/models_unit/MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas, 15
model_flexi            data/models_unit/MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas, 30
model_flexi            data/models_unit/MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas, 40
model_flexi            data/models_unit/MACEDON_PIKEMEN_ELITE_low.cas, max
model_sprite        seleucid, 60.0, data/sprites/seleucid_greek_argyraspid_sprite.spr
model_tri            400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

I get the same error. I have not edited EDU yet, just trying to get the texture in. I have two other units successfully modded and fully functional, so I know this is the problem. Thanks.

Get rid of the extra texture lines, each faction should only have one, I'm not sure of the effect of more than one texture line for the same faction. Also make sure you have -show_err on the end of the target line in the shortcut for the properties as this can, hopefully, produce an error message.

[XxAndrewxX]

I put in \RomeTW.exe" show_err as \RomeTW.exe"-show_err did not work, and I can not find an error report. Where would they be shown?

[Squid]

There should be a space between the ending " and the -show_err.

[XxAndrewxX]

Alright, put in a space and still no error report. Is it supposed to pop-up or is it saved somewhere?

It's supposed to pop up on exit.

Can you post here your DMB entry?

model_tri            400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

you can try it like this
do not code the extention of the texture file to tga.dds,put only tga like above
and if you have one model only in an entry you don't have to put it 4 or 5 times
one is enough

It worked, thank you very much!

It's also in the first post.

See the post above your last one, remove the .dds as this isn't needed in the file it should always say .tga even if the file is .tga.dds
