Hey, DM group...

I have started to play DM but I recently got a new "modding legions full pack v1.5.7z" I want to replace the DM mod's legions to this new modding legion. I have successfully changed the original 1.5v to this new modding legions, but when I try to change the DM to this modding legions, I failed. I want to know if DM mod add any new legions(roman faction).

Feel free someone to issue a mini mod for this ....to be working of course.

**Liquidj** · September 25, 2006, 01:34 AM

Hey, Darth Vader...I have try two times today, but still it wouldn't work. I don't know if is because it reach game system maximal units capacity.

**DARTH VADER** · September 25, 2006, 01:36 AM

You must replace the units of course..DarthMod maximizes the limit

**Liquidj** · September 25, 2006, 01:37 AM

Or does DM provided to add more units into the game

**DARTH VADER** · September 25, 2006, 01:39 AM

Dont get it...DM just reached the limit of free unit models (Maybe 1-2 remains)

I know DM mod has about 303 total numbers of units and I add three more, which will add up to 306, will that be a problem, reaching the game's maximal capacity

Thanks, I just replace the units card and all it related files, but right now when I click the game will close right the way.

I remember there are one function you can set up to tell you what is the reason do the game turn off. Do you know hope to do that?

**DARTH VADER** · September 25, 2006, 01:42 AM

Yes..go to your shortcut for RTW and in the target copy paste this -show_err

exactly after the .....\RomeTW.exe"

This will report most bugs ...but not all

As for limit...try 1 at a time not all together.

Great, Thank you, Darth Vader...I find the error, it say: it can't find the skeleton fsswordsman." I am really new on this modding, Darth Vader do you have any idea where should I find this file in the game?

**DARTH VADER** · September 25, 2006, 01:54 AM

If this is how it is written exactly then you have a syntax error....you must put it fs_swordsman or type this fs_s1_barbswordsman to use another animation.

This is in skeleton line of desc_model_battle

or if you add a cavalry unit then you must put fs_hc_swordsman for example...

**Liquidj** · September 25, 2006, 02:09 AM

Thank you, but I got other error came out. This time is says: database_table error found: ids must be unique, non-unique entry seleucid_legionary_cohort_ii found in the file data/descr_model_battle.txt.

**Liquidj** · September 25, 2006, 02:31 AM

okay, I fixed it too.

Hey, Darth Vader, what can you do to fix this error: database_table error found: max records exceeded from the file data/descr_model_battle.txt.

**DARTH VADER** · September 25, 2006, 02:34 AM

This is first issue of exceeded models...you erase some units to replace others. If you inserted new models to replace the visuals you can replace the code than issue a new one (unless the code is shared by other units).
If you want to insert new units then you must be careful which to erase bcs everything is used in the game and then additional files must be re-modded etc. etc.
