What's wrong?

[juvenus]

Please help.
I tried to change the way a unit look alike. I want to change the model but preserve the texture.
So I changed its entry in the edu to correspond with the model I want (it's a model of an other unit).
Then in the dmb I add its original texture, sprite to the model entry I wanna use now.
However, that unit now looks like a gray peasant in the unit card. In 3d it still looks the same as before.
Where am I wrong?

I followed the tutorial already.

When you were editing the EDU entry of that unit, did you also change the dictionary name? It's the second line in a unit entry.

[juvenus]

No I didn't. should I?

[NightEye]

Just asking to find out where the problem is, that's the entry that determines the unit cards of assigned to a unit.

Are you playing the unit in a faction it wasn't in originally?

Unless you post the text it would be hard to guess what exactly is the intention and where it is failing.

[juvenus]

No it was in that faction already. I just want to use a spearman model instead of a swordsman model. But I want to preserve its original texture...

[juvenus]

Do you have time to wait for a few minutes florin80?

[florin80]

Is it urgent? Post it if you can.

Lol I should have asked that first. Some help I am...

[juvenus]

well, to be honest there's no chance I made it wrong by typing something. It's supposed to be just a simple copy-paste operation. I changed entire edu entry of a sworsman unit to correspond with the edu entry of a spearman unit (I didn't change the first and the second edu line).
Then I added the original texture of a swordsman (which I want to keep) to the dmb entry of the spearman unit.

For example florin80:
what would you do to change the auxilia palatine to act and look like the legion palatine but to have its original auxilia palatine texture? i.e. to become the swordsmen instead of spearmen but to have the old texture.

[NightEye]

For what I know, just change the model_flexi lines of the unit's DMB entry.

[juvenus]

I did it, however, there's a problem with the shields. They are deformed!
I must find some other model with the same type of shields.
Thanks NightEye!
