Yet another Modeldb question

[Razor]

Alright I finally took the effort of adding a completely new unit for a M2TW mod. Right in the middle of modding the modeldb file I get stuck at the Modeldb when it comes to the last parts:

For the moment I don't think I'll need the red parts because I'm using one texture for the model for now. But since I need to know sooner or later and since I'm at it right now, how does the red part come together? What does it all mean and what does 'European CB' do?

Also how does the blue part work? I know that in RTW you only had to designate two skeletons for primary attack and secondary attack. But how about this? I only want to have a musket fire attack as primary and a spear attack (does it also come two-handed?) as secondary attack.

As a RTW modder I'd almost revert to RTW simply because of this (IMO totally unnecessary) modeldb-mess...

Thanks in advance!

These are the attachements. Without them the weapons, shields and stuff like that don't have textures.

This unit would have a sword as secondary. You need the anim of a unit that uses a 2handed spear attack.

Ok, thanks for the info but it's not quite helping me. Let's just say that it appears to me that the red part is there for additional textures like weapons etc. that are shared by many units. So If I had used two textures for my model and the first one is for the body and stuff and the second is for the musket and backpacks and scabbards then the red parts are lines referring to the textures for the musket, backpacks and scabbards. Is that correct?

But it puzzles me at the moment why I have to use 4 skeletons colored in blue. And what does the '1' stand for behind the second and third skeleton? I take it that the '4' stands for the 4 skeleton entries? And what does the 'None' behind the '4' stand for?

The "none" is for the mount.

What the numbers behind the entries do? Dunno.

Hi there.

I suggest you read this tutorial on modeldb. It helped me learn the file!

As for the 1 1;
first 1 is how many characters/numbers come after it (rough guess now, but it's the most obviously thing), the next 1 is how many .mesh strings come after it.

The "none" is for the mount.

Thanks for the info! That link looks interesting!
