Unit Editing causing CTD

[werawulf]

So I am doing a bit of editing myself regarding changing unit characteristics (ie changing unit sizes, giving/taking away attributes). I am using the Caligula Editor. I tried Using the BrandonM's toolset but that didnt work since the changes never took effect. When I use caligula, the changes do take effect, however, as soon as I start a custom battle i get a CTD, WTF.

as simple change in unit size say from 60 to 80 will casue a CTD when starting a custom battle

any helkp would be awesome, thanks in advance.

Caligula was made for RTW because used to use it. It works for Medieval2 and Kingdoms, too? Good find.

Maybe it doesn't, hence his CTD.


@OP why don't you just change the edu manually, its really no tougher than using an editor, and obviously that editor isnt working.

Could very well be. remembering back when RTR was released, it had trouble with RTR 1.0 until I asked him if he could edit Caligula. It's been too long ago.

It's better you use the normal notepad as it's just a normal text file.

Wait a moment. Since when it's possible to change unit size to more than 60 and do not get CTD? As far as I know it's "obvious obviousness" that you'll get CTD after changing that.

Since Kingdoms = max for infantry is 100, not sure for cav (60?)

Thanks, good to know
In vanilla M2TW 60 on normal size is max :/

In Third Age (Kingdoms mod), there are infantry units (orcs) with 251 (250+captain) on huge, so I think the max. number is 125 for infantry.

100*2.5=250

You are talking about the orc units, even those have only 100 soldiers

type Mordor Orcs Super
dictionary Mordor_Orcs_Super ; Orc Raiders
category infantry
class heavy
voice_type Heavy
banner faction main_infantry
banner holy crusade
soldier Norse_Swordsmen, 100, 0, 1

Oh, foolish me! Never again posting when being tired.... sorry Gigantus, you're correct as always!

[Gigantus]

You are forgiven....
