How to add an existing unit to another faction

[Gigantus]

It will additionally require a monitor in the campaign_script file which executes an event. This event then needs to be added to the recruiting conditions of that behind the faction requirement for the Silvan Elves.

Any idea in order to change avalable mercenaries units for elves ??

[Ayyubid]

Hi, is there a way to sort of do this en masse? Basically I wish to do this in Broken crescent, and make all Muslim units available for all Muslim factions, all Christian units available for all Christian factions, and all Hindu units available for all Hindu factions.

[Gondolin]

I think that you are able to do that (I'm pretty sure, but still...)

These links may help.

"is there a way to sort of do this en masse?"

No, because you will have to keep changing battle_models_db. There is no automated way.

[Pyres Δt Varanasi]

In what file the Battle_models are ?

[irishron]

data\unit_models

[Pyres Δt Varanasi]

data\unit_models

Thanks

Hi,
I can produce soldiers of others country's soldiers.my problem is:ı cant solve texture fault that produced some soldiers. I can solve texture fault about high elf's. But dark elf, khrone, kislev etc.. still have problem. They looks white. I guess problem is religion. What will I do about this subject?

[Gigantus]

You will need to allocate textures to those factions via the model's entry in the modelDB file - obviously those textures have to be present in your mod in the correct folder.

I can't see what's wrong with them

[Den Stark]

unit_models/_Units/RN_Light_Lmail/pikemen_lod0.mesh, unit_models/_Units/RN_Light_Lmail/pikemen_lod1.mesh, unit_models/_Units/RN_Light_Lmail/pikemen_lod2.mesh, unit_models/_Units/RN_Light_Lmail/pikemen_lod3.mesh... etc. transferred to the appropriate folders?

[the new username]

I don't think I messed with the mesh files, to where I have to move them?

[Gigantus]

The entries look fine, I am assuming you had a working EDU and modeldb before you did the changes? And then you only added milan to the ownership and era 2 entry in the EDU?
In the modelDB you simply copied france's lines and substituted 6 france with 5 milan in the copy, and then increase the faction count number from 1 to 2.

The one thing I can't check is how you handled the spaces - each line in the modeldb requires a space at the end of the line.
