Error during battle?

[Dan113112]

I'm playing as a greek faction and I try to fight a against a Free Peoples army and I get an error like this:

General Error

Failed to find texture

RTRVII/Data/VII/Units/Getai/Textures/Comati_Hoplite_Dacia.tga'

Or something like this. Can anyone help me?

[Maurits]

Will the game allow you to fight the battle after clicking 'ok' or will it crash?

It is a known issue, which has been solved and will be published in the next patch

It just exits the game completely. Is it just this unit or are there more? Do you have an idea when the new patch will be released or is there a temporary fix?

[Maurits]

Could you try adding this file to the folder RTRVII/Data/VII/Units/Getai ?

[Dan113112]

Same error,

Generic Error:

Failed to find texture
'RTRVII/data/VII/getai/textures/comati_hoplite_dacia.tga'.

[Maurits]

Would adding the new DMB (to data) work?

Sorry, just trying some things out, forgot where the error was located

[Dan113112]

Nope. Same error. I don't mind trying things out if it fixes it for me and everyone else.

[Maurits]

That's really strange. Do you know which units are in the rebel army? Will selecting these as opponents in a custom battle also cause a crash?

[Dan113112]

My army of the Dynasty of Attalos: x1 General's Bodyguard, x1 Hippeis, x1 Prodromoi, x1 Misthrophoroi Pezoi, x2 Greek Peltastai, x2 Greek Toxotai, x2 Polis Hoplitai, x2 Ekdromoi Hoplitai.

Enemy army of the Free Peoples: x1 Misthrophoroi Pezoi, x1 Thureophoroi, x1 Getai Logades.

I can't really try out all of the enemy untis in a custom battle because they're mercenaries. I tried my army against composition against x3 Getai Logades from the Getai Tribe and it loaded and didn't CTD.

[Maurits]

Ok. I don't know if mercenaries are coded different than the regular units texture-wise, will ask someone who should know how it works if he'd mind taking a look into this

[Caligula Caesar]

Yeah, I forgot to add a line in the DMB for the free peoples for them. Try replacing the Comati_hoplite and carnyx_player_dacia entries in the DMB with this:

Although, TWC doesn't seem to like tabs, so you may need to change those a bit to get it like the others if it doesn't work (though it should anyway).

How do I edit the file? It won't let me open it.

[Maurits]

@CC, you can wrap 'code' tags around the text, just like you'd do with a spoiler:

example

@Dan: right click the file descr_model_battle and open it with Notepad++ or something like it. Then you should be able to edit it
Alternatively, you could autocalc the battle and wait for the patch
