[danny X]

can you post a log error report

[alexharvey52]

Yup, there you go:

[danny X]

i assume you've un-packed?

if not follow this tutorial:

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=96588

if you have un-packed, can you add this to your .cfg file for your mod:

[log] 
to = logs/M2TW.system.log.txt 
level = * trace

and then post another log report.

[alexharvey52]

Yes I have unpacked.

I havent been launching from my mod launcher with my mod cfg file because it doesnt work.

My mod launcher:
medieval2.exe @ brownhelm.cfg

My mod cfg file:

[io]
file_first=true

[features]
mod = Brown Helm

[log]
to = logs/M2TW.system.log.txt
level = * trace

[video]
movies = false

Okay i fixed the game crashes, i forgot to delete the two geography files. Fixed crashing on battle load by deleting :

• data\descr_geography_new.txt
• data\descr_geography_new.db

Now I just need help on getting my new unit to show up in a custom battle. Help?????????????????????????????????

[danny X]

try this, i assume the mesh is in the correct folder?

[alexharvey52]

Okay, shall I just overwrite the files in the data folder with these and then run medieval.exe? my mesh file is in unit_models/_units/order_brownhelm/brownhelm_lod0.mesh

- Just tried that and it still isnt comming up under france in custom battle

[danny X]

no just swap them over, if another crash occurs, i will need another log report!

[alexharvey52]

I am no longer getting crashes but my unit still isnt comming up under france in custom battle

[danny X]

did you make a unit info card for it?

if not it will come up as a brown peasant with a little knife

[alexharvey52]

I did make a unit card, I just used the town milita one. Ive checked all the names on the army list and i dont see my unit.

Availability of your unit? Seems it's the problem, so go in your EDU and change this line:

ownership france

That way, your unit will be available to france only.
If it's not the case, it's still not showing up, check in the "attribute" code line if your unit has "no_custom", this will disable that unit to be played on custom battles.

EDIT: Take this EDU, you made a grammar mistake in your unit code name.

[alexharvey52]

This is my EDU (its seems fine):

See my above EDIT, you should now have no problem.

[danny X]

well i got your unit in game using the files i sent you!

it doesn't look right, so i'm gonna try add a few things i deleted previously.

[alexharvey52]

Your edit still doesnt work. Is it because of my patch or game? Its medieval 2 total war on patch 1.3. I have medieval 2 gold edition with kingdoms installed (allthough my kingdowms doesnt work atm)

What I've spotted something that's strange is this in the attributes
can_formed_charge
This formation is usually for mounted units and that unit has two formation, this one or schiltrom in the "formation" line. Better to remove the charge one.

[alexharvey52]

Yes you are correct but that hasnt fixed my problem.

[Polycarpe]

Yes you are correct but that hasnt fixed my problem.

Dany will be able to fix this if he succeed to add your unit in game.
