Adding trebuchets to Rohan?

**stevehoos** · January 08, 2012, 03:42 PM

I am trying to add trebuchets to Rohan but I am confuse as to what to do with this because it seems a little different than SS, which is what I am used to changing, very limited modding knowledge

. Can someone tell me what I need to do here, I am confused, I know it is simple

It should just be buildings file adjustment and unit file adjustment.

I've never actually done it before, but I think all you need to is make the unit available for the faction, and make it recruitable in a building.

first edit export_descr_unit.txt

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

change "sicily", to "sicily, milan" on each line here

this makes the unit available for rohan.

next, edit export_descr_buildings.txt

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

you need to make the highest siege building available for rohan, so change "{ sicily, byzantium, turks, }" to "{ sicily, byzantium, turks, milan, }"

then you can change "{ sicily, }" to "{ sicily, milan, }" on both lines. You could alternatively make the trebuchet available at the lower building (the one rohan can already build) and make it only recruitable for rohan at that building level

that SHOULD do it, but I've never done it before so I could be completely wrong

I did try to add milan to a trebechet unit in the export descr unit and no unit showed up in the custom battles. That is why I am puzzled

? Thanks for the help by the way

Did you remove the "No_custom" tag from the unit in export descr unit? Have to remove that as well as change the ownership. It's likely to crash without tweaking some of the battle_models files though so that the game knows where all the necessary files are for it, ie not trying to find skins that aren't there.

Thanks trying that
