Wagon Fort in RTW?

[Royal_McKeogh]

This is interesting, could we get the historical battle?

[Stagfish]

Yeah, that's what the first piece of text was.
I think the problem is that I haven't made a unit card or description yet, I don't know what text file to edit.

[Bonez]

you don't need a unit card but the description is what I meant to ask about...

[Stagfish]

Are there any more files I need to edit?

[Bonez]

http://rtw.heavengames.com/rtw/mods/...on/index.shtml That link is one for unit creation at the top it has all the mandatory files you need to edit and down lower it has the instructions it can become kinda complicated but I have used it and it does work.

Okay, I almost got it to work, the game doesn't crash on startup, it does however crash just before battle with the wagons. The error is "failed to find LION_wagon_laager_overlay.CAS texture". I have no idea what the difference between all of these files are: LION_wagon_laager_area.CAS, LION_wagon_laager_underlay.CAS, LION_wagon_laager_overlay.CAS, LION_wagon_laager_info.CAS as I have no 3d modelling software. I know that the underlay and overlay models are used for the building version but I don't know where I would put them in this file:

I mainly just guessed with it and I have no idea if anything I've written is right, could someone check this for me?

ALSO: I would give you the historical battle Royal_McKeogh, but I don't know what folder it's kept in. I found the folder containing all of the other battles, but not any of the custom ones.

Should be good as far as my skills go... Are you trying to use the mod:switch with it? if you are and they textures aren't in the mod switch file then you need to take away the LION at the beginning but that is all I can see. You should see if you can find bruslav or someone who has modded siege engines before.

[Stagfish]

I tried deleting the LION part but that just made it crash on startup, I'll see if I can get in contact with Bruslav.

EDIT: Hmm, I cannot find his name in the member list. Does he have any letter or numbers in his name?

[Bonez]

It is Brusilav or something like that I don't know but he is in the Technical Help board a lot.

Edit: Brusilov that is copied from one of his posts.

Also... + rep would be much appreciated for this help if it would bother you to much.

[Stagfish]

Thanks, I sent him a message explaining the problem. I shouldn't really give points to those who ask but I gave you one anyway.

EDIT: Seems he couldnt help me, I decided to make a thread about the problem to see if someone else could help me.

[Stagfish]

Okay, I've discovered the biggest problem and realised why my previous one is happening. The problem is I've been trying to use the model of a BUILDING as a model for an ENGINE. It seems their coding are very different and I won't be able to do this mod without a 3d model editor. As I do not have one I can't finish this mod.
