Cheats and SS 6.3

[bobster1]

I'm not sure if my question is worthy of a new thread, but I will start one anyway. It concerns the cheat codes for this game and it's affect on this mod. Here is my question.

Is there a list of unit names that can be used with the create unit cheat? I've tried to input the screen names for certain units into the cheat function create_unit "City Name""Unit Name" xxxx (where x is the experience and weapons values). As expected, the name of the unit is not recognized by the game because the SS mod has changed it. Now I've read elsewhere that the export_descr_unit.txt file is supposed to display the real name of the unit, but I've tried that and the game still doesn't recognize it.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about.

Cheat function within console: create_unit Frankfurt "Feudal Foot Knights" 4 9 3 3 (The name Feudal Foot Knights is not recognized by the game because it's been changed by the SS mod.)
Same cheat function: create_unit Frankfurt "Dismounted Feudal Knights" 4 9 3 3 (Four Feudal Knights show up in Frankfurt with the altered unit values applied.)

As I've stated before, I've tried this with other names and the cheat won't work. Where can I go to find the actual unit names?

Thanks

Where can I go to find the actual unit names?

Medieval II Total War\mods\SS6.3\data\text\export_units.txt file.
The names inside the {blah blah} brackets in this file are the actual names so type that without "_".

Thanks for the instruction, but some of the units still won't show up after I entered the cheat code. As far the quotations marks are concerned, I think they're required when using the console. I'll keep trying, though.

[Meneth]

He meant that you have to remove the underscores.
Quotation marks are needed in the unit name is 2 words or more.

[bobster1]

Thanks, I should've known that. Anyway, I've been trying out the create unit cheat code with the list that Ishan pointed me to, and some units show up, but I found something interesting. Instead of trying to explain this weird phenomenon, I'll post a screenshot and hope that it works. (This is my first pic on this forum, so bear with me.)

As you can see, I have the cavalry from outerspace. This is the Christian Guard Cavalry unit that showed up when I used the create unit cheat code. Although they look cool, I know that this is a texture error. Any thoughts on what could cause this?

[Ishan]

This happens when a faction doesn't have the ownership of that unit like Scotland for longbowmen etc.

Wrong. Longbowmen are AOR unit in 6.3.

[Ishan]

Wrong. Longbowmen are AOR unit in 6.3.

It's a general statement.

[Paladin94610]

It's a general statement.

Yeah. I knew. Just kidding you.

[bobster1]

Yeah, I found that out too. I'm currently playing as the Holy Roman Empire, and I'm using the cheat codes to get Longbowmen. The unit cards for the bowmen show up correctly in the settlement recruitment panel, and the characters themselves are fully textured in battle, but that brings up a question. Is there a way to get around this ownership thing so that all units in the game will have the correct unit cards, and will appear fully textured in battle?

[KrisH]

did you get the cheat to work? i typed create_unit Bergen Elephant_Rocketeer and i got unit type not recognised, i typed the same name that was in export_units.txt,

[Meneth]

That unit isn't in SS.
Export_units has some artifacts. It even has entries for Aztec units.

[KrisH]

oh okey, but it is just choose a unit from there to make? or did i choose wrong txt to choose from?

[Ishan]

oh okey, but it is just choose a unit from there to make? or did i choose wrong txt to choose from?

Basically there are two files one is in SS6.3\data folder (1.export_descr_unit.txt) while other is in SS6.3\data\text folder (2.export_units.txt).

The first one has the information that is required by the game to run that is all the technical info on units. While the second one has the descriptions of all the units that is all text info.

Now SS team hasn't updated the 2nd file as it's not required and has left some leftovers of the units that don't exist no more.

So you choose the wrong text or unit_name.

[Meneth]

All units are listed in export_descr_unit.
