Crashing when I change values in "Battle_models"

**Front777** · May 19, 2012, 11:12 AM

I have problems to change the values in the "battle_models" file. I have done this before with Stainless steel and Deus lo Vult.
For example I would like to add "templar gunners" to HRE, but the game crashes when I execute the game.
I can´t find any errors in the text below.

The bold text is newly added.

15 templar_gunners

Maybe you should look in the EDU file ? it could be something very simple like you forgot a coma or a space etc. Make sure to check over the EDU entry for it. That happens to me a lot I forget a space or something small like that.

Also might be a problem that you accidently removed a line in the modelsdb or forget to save it before loading? You gotta keep that file open so that if you run the game and there's a problem, you can always 'step backward' in wte program ur using to access modelsdb.

I have tried that, but no success. I have tried to change the values with several different units, but the crashes stills stays on. When I turn back to my safety backup all works perfectly (when nothing is changed)

@Front77
I was going to suggest that you read a tutorial about the EDU file, but since you already have experience modding that file it is probably not required. I recommend that you post this question in the Mod Workshop forum for M2TW and someone who works with this file on a regular basis should be able to assist you in finding a solution to your problem.

I will do that. Thanks!
