i don't know is this question is for this thread, but my priest wont upgrade to bishop and patriarch, must i level them like generals or i need to edit some other text file? my desr_character.txt is default, just change .tga files.

faction saxonsdictionary 2
strat_model orthodox_priest ; default model
strat_model rus_bishop ; medium level priest
strat_model orthodox_patriarch ; advanced priest

[irishron]

Bishops should be there if using vanilla descr_character.txt and http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...hodox-factions should help for Patriarchs.

willam_wallace model is custom added. what mod r u using? if u don't need him, delete this line and update descr_model_strat file.

Here is one faction in my RotK mod, general strat models. the numbers indicate the level effect necessary (given via trait) to get that model.

faction            england
dictionary        2
strat_model        new_han_general     ; 0 = named character
strat_model        minguangjiangjun     ; 1 = heir
strat_model        sg_sm_qtsl_general     ; 2 = faction leader
strat_model        caoren                 ; 3
strat_model        XiaHouDun             ; 4
strat_model        XiaHouYuan             ; 5
strat_model        dianwei                 ; 6
strat_model        XuChu                ; 7
strat_model        XuHuang                 ; 8 
strat_model        Ls_simayi_general    ; 9 
strat_model        CaoCao                 ; 10
battle_model    hangeneral
battle_equip        gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

In your case the characters need a level 3 effect via trait to be given to them.

please someone can help in this?

[Withwnar]

Is this the only file that you have changed? i.e. Are you sure that this file is the cause of the problem?

When any king dies or only the king of a certain faction ... and if so then which faction?

(Sometimes you need to wait more than a day for an answer.)

hello withwnar...thank god someone will help me.....no i altered descr_model_strat and made a model in battle modelb, but i made some experiments...if i had the vanilla descr_characters and descr_model_strat the game wont crash....the thing is that i doesn´t understand has that file will be because english isn´t my natural language and it was the only file i had some doubts and gave me problems(thats wy i posted it to see if i made something wrong) , so i supose it´s from that file because was the only one i had some doubts about...when i insert the script and make the alterations to the descr_model_strat and descr_characters all is well...the strat map have all the models has i want and even the battles have my units (heir and king) with the right models the thing is when one king dies from all the factions the game crashes....i made some experiments with wales and england kings putting them in boats and fighting in naval battles until they die...the result is crash....if i delete the script and reset the descr_character and descr_strat_model...the game goes normal.....i only want to have strat and battle models for king and heir(i hate vanilla´s models ).i don´t know if i made the explanation well but i´ll be anxious to see if you can help here .Even so...thanks for answer me, hope you´ll can help

[Withwnar]

I can't see anything wrong with what you posted. Any errors in the log?

when i insert the script

Can you show the script? (Use the [code][/code] tags ... the # button in the advanced editor.)

SALUTATIONS ALL!

I've spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to change the strat/batttle map model for my faction leader (entire faction really but I'm taking babysteps) with a model from another mod and while this tutorial is well written, I'm too dense to apply it to my own situation. Could someone please help me figure out my dilemma? Maybe a similiar question's been asked but I'm not exactly sure how I'd navigate the forums to find out(pointers?). I'm pretty bad at this but I enjoy modding games to my liking and am hoping to get better. Not trying to be a nuisance but I'm shooting blind here

[Withwnar]

I think the tutorial explains it very well; I'm not game to repeat what is already written. Show us what you have already done so we can point out where you have gone wrong.

[howyouknow215]

Thanks for responding! I'm sure my answer is right in front of me but I'm not seeing it. If anything at all, what would importing a model from another mod change about this tutorial?

[howyouknow215]

i think my issue lies in the tga file of the model that i want to import. i can't seem to find the name found in the CAS ( which is middle_eastern_sultan_egypt) outside of the the CAS itself, aside from a folder with that name, containing a tga and dds file.

[Withwnar]

descr_character.txt looks fine.

descr_model_strat.txt...

type				Ptolemaic_king
skeleton			strat_named_with_army
scale				0.7
indiv_range			40
texture				egypt, models_strat/textures/middle_eastern_sultan_egypt.tga
texture				slave, models_strat/textures/middle_eastern_sultan_egypt.tga
model_flexi_m			models_strat/Ptolemaic_King.cas, max
shadow_model_flexi		models_strat/shadow_sword.CAS, max

According to your attached textures.rar there is no such image as models_strat/textures/middle_eastern_sultan_egypt.tga. You will need to find that image in the mod that it came from and put it into your textures folder. I assume that this texture file name was taken from the other mod's descr_model_strat.txt and not just made up by you.

If that doesn't fix it then can you show us the CAS as well? And tell us what the actual problem is: CTD? Strange looking strat model?
