no textures on foreign units

**gaaxure** · June 26, 2012, 05:22 PM

ok so here's my problem. i know it's not cool and all but i learned create_unit cheat and added some foreign units to my armies, if any of you have done this you'll know that when you do that their unit cards show RTW style peasants. that's nothing on battlefield they still look like they should but here's where it gets tricky for me they have no textures on them so they look like they're molded from silver and that's no fun to watch

. i want to know what might be causing this and is there any way to fix it.

I suggest you ask the MTTW modding forum

I answered this question a couple weeks ago on another forum.

Edit: Also since you asked what's causing it, it's because the game has no assigned textures, sprites, or UI features for this unit on this faction, so it uses default everything. Default textures and sprites, which are the silver surfers, and default unit cards, which are the peasants.

True those textures don't exist because their texture entry doesn't exist in the BMDB file. One has to mod them so that the cheat works properly for that unit type.

Hi, I'm currently playing with Kingdom Grand Campaign Mod 4.2. I'm playing with Russia and I wanted to use Halberd Militia so I used create_units cheat. On the campaign map the units appeared normally (not as peasants or anything like that) so I thought it would work fine during the battle. But on the battle map, they became invisible and I could only see the shadow. I tried tweaking things using this link as a guide: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...5#post11536965
but every time I try to start up the game it gives me an error (while the screen becomes black so I can't even read what it says on the error box and I have to click "ok" otherwise nothing will happen). I will attach the files export_descr_units, and export_descr_buildings can any good modders please tell me what I did wrong? I'm not really good at modding things. And by the way there wasn't any file for Halberd Militia in the "ui" folder for unitcards.

Sorry, I later realized that there was a mistake in that post. I forgot to go back and edit it. I'll do that now. See that number 3 in that example code I gave which appears on a line by itself several times? That number is a count that tells the game how many faction entries there are for that unit. So if you stick in another faction entry, You have to increase the count by 1.

Hmm I added the count by 1 as you said but I'm still getting the same error? Here is what I did with modeldb. I'll bold the part I've inserted. I used the Polish textures and sprites.
