So I was creating a new unit but how do I do to make it buildable?

**PROMETHEUS ts** · September 13, 2013, 09:31 PM

Hi I was copying more or less the similar things I have seen editing in other unique unit mods, but I do not get how toget my unit visible and appearing in he building roster or in the custom battles selection screen ... any ideas?

So far those are the files I edited:

All had been renamed to custom Prom_ tag so to not cause ctds ...

db

commander_unit_permissions_tables
land_units_tables
land_units_to_unit_abilites_junctions_tables
main_units_tables
unit_set_to_unit_junctions_tables
unit_variants_tables
units_to_groupings_military_permissions_tables

text

Prom_land_units
Prom_unit_description_short_texts

ui

the icons needed

variantmeshes

Prom_vet_hoplites.variantmeshdefinition

what am I missing?

I know you will need custom battle permissions

**Cacciato** · September 13, 2013, 10:05 PM

Did you add the building_units_allowed table?

**PROMETHEUS ts** · September 14, 2013, 04:11 AM

no cheking it seemed to add units to the garrisons?

**PROMETHEUS ts** · September 14, 2013, 04:24 AM

ok I saw that some units ar erepeated lile :

ita_spear
ita_spear_two
ita_spearthree

etc ... qhat does that means?and what else should I eidt?

**blackheartz** · September 14, 2013, 04:41 AM

Unit_buildings_allowed sets the buildings from which the units are recruitted and you will need that.
Also to enable the unit in custom_battles you will need units_to_custom_battle_permissions.
Finally if you are using new variantmeshdefinitions for your unit add them to variants_tables. For garrisons the armed_citizenry_units_to_unit_groups is used. But I have not worked with that yet.

That is all I believe.

**PROMETHEUS ts** · September 14, 2013, 04:42 AM

Ok sO I added

the unit to rom_ROMAN_military_main_Havy_4 to 1
and pro_ROMAN_city_major 1 to 4

nothing changed andstill not visible in the unit roster any other ideas?

**blackheartz** · September 14, 2013, 05:01 AM

I believe that the tables you mentioned plus the ones I did are all you need. I might be forgetting something but I have not access to my mod right now and I cannot dl it, I am at work

. You can check the files yourself and see if something else is missing.

**PROMETHEUS ts** · September 14, 2013, 05:55 AM

oh btw could it be couse I am testing in a saved game?

How can I do to add to the multiplayer list to test directly ingame?

**PROMETHEUS ts** · September 14, 2013, 05:53 AM

Ok here is the list of all the stuff I placed for the unit , I followed he tutorial of Shogun II and adapted to Rome II ...

I don't think anything is missing, I have made the variantmesh profile and also created an ad hoc unit icon , but it doesn't shows up ..

**blackheartz** · September 14, 2013, 06:38 AM

Use this units_to_custom_battle_permissions to add it to custom battles for testing.

**scsscsfanfan** · September 14, 2013, 06:44 AM

I tried to make Legionaries to be built in campaign.
I have tried to add Legionaries to rom_ROMAN_military_main_Havy_3, in "building_unit_allowed", added new unique number, it dose not show up.
I tried to replace Praetorian with Legionaries, Praetroian disapear, but Legionaries still doesn't show up.
It still shows in custom battle.

"I noticed when you right click a particular unit in custom battle unit selection and information screen, if this particular unit is build-able in campaign, the description in encyclopedia will have building required showed on the right hand side." - seems I was wrong on this

**PROMETHEUS ts** · September 14, 2013, 07:26 AM

ok thanks but why doesn0't shows up in building list?

**PROMETHEUS ts** · September 14, 2013, 05:03 PM

It is still not appearing !
neither in custom battles neither in line of buildings I can't get what's wrong , any expert around with this stuff that wants to take a look at my files?

**Cacciato** · September 14, 2013, 05:30 PM

You mean why doesn't the unit show up as recruitable in the building info?

**PROMETHEUS ts** · September 14, 2013, 07:03 PM

yes doesn't shows anywhee niether in custom battles neither in campaign .

**Alexmcm13** · September 14, 2013, 07:15 PM

Are you saving it as a movie or a mod .pack? If it's mod, are you activating it via mod manager?

**Cacciato** · September 14, 2013, 07:19 PM

Can you upload a picture of your building_units_allowed_table?

**Agostinos** · September 14, 2013, 07:40 PM

I made Cataphracts recruitable for sparta just for fun. I basically replaced the building_id and added numbers from 40000 and upwards in unknown5 column. PFM cleaded everything and the table was saved as mn_building_units_allowed. Maybe this helps
