invisible unit. Again...

[attyla]

It's itneresting thing because i've changed nothing in modeldb. In sprite of it when i've runned the game yesterday evening instead of ready to fight light cavalry i only could see empty horses...

This is my modeldb entry:

i've checked all very carefully, but i cant't find the reason of this problem. Maybe someone of you can find something? (i cant' increase or decrease the amunt of entrys in first part of file, because the game crasches - so i suppose the ammount is correct)

[attyla]

i've found the bug. If i can ask for erase thi thread... i'm sorry...

i'm sorry
it's very strange situations. I've made some new units for Armenia. The last one is my version of armenian archers. I made all as usually, but modeldb doesn't accept the last entry and it's entry needed by armenian archers.
I've made it 5 times and the result is the same all the time. the game doesn't want to accept this unit. I always have two options only:
1. i can incrase amount of entries in start of file, but the game crasches or
2. i can keep the amount of entries, but the unis is unvisible on the battlefield.

I've tried to move this entry into another position, but the result is the same all the time: the game ends reading the file on this specific entry.
This is the enty i'm talking about:

Check it with the modeldb checker and make sure the files are in the right location and are not corrupted.

[attyla]

there is modeldb checker? Where can i find it?

This is the problem, string says 41 change it to 59 and it should work.
