How to add an existing unit to another faction

**Machina Ex** · February 17, 2019, 08:12 AM

I was following the instructions from the first page and everything went ok, except my banner carrier and officer behind him are silver surfers. I modded DAC, added lindar mariners to dol amroth faction. I don't think that the fact that I made them recruitable from unique building has anything with it.

As I mentioned in the DaC thread - follow up on the officer model by tracing it in the modelDB file, clone a existing faction's entries, don't forget to increase the sections' total faction count.

I'm not very fluent in modding lingo, so do you mean that I should look in EDU and see what officers are used for Sindar Marines and then find in MDB and add entry for a faction Dol Amroth (Denmark)? I did add couple of other elven units just to compare an all have same problem, bannerman and oficcer behind him are SS but the third officer (captain, general?) is normal. I also used search option and randomly found anything that has entry as elf, high elf officer and added entries for DA (Denmark). It didn't work. I'm now going to recheck everything connected with officers entries because this seems to be the problem.

EDIT: Thanks, solved it, posted on DAC forum!

Hello, I'm trying to add some units from Third Age Total war Reforged 0.97 to TATW MOS 1.7. Thanks many tutorial, I can understand modeldb code. I wrote the unit code in MOS modeldb, I tested it and the game not crashed. When I wrote the unit in EDU is the problem. The game crash before the main menú. I have checked the EDU's code many times and I can't find the mistake. Could somebody help me?

Please provide your crash log together with your EDB, EDU and modelDB file. Best to simply compress the files into one zip\rar file, (7Zip is freeware) and then upload it.
Need to know the unit's name as well, of course

Do try and use Gracul's Unit Editor - it allows you to 'write' a corrected modeldb (mdb.txt) file which you can find in the editor's root folder. You can then copy the content of it into your modeldb file (overwriting everything) AFTER making a BACKUP.

Hi there! is it possible for you or anybody else on the forum to switch units from principality of antioch to jerusalem so that playing for jerusalem i could recruit from both factions?
