Unit crashes when it's NOT the captain unit

[makanyane]

Not sure if this is model or text related, but has anyone else got any idea why a unit would cause CTD on attempting to load custom battle if it is anything other than the captain unit.

i.e. It'll load fine if it's the first unit selected, and I can add lots of other units of different types after it.

It'll crash if I put any other unit as the first (captain) unit, and then try and add the problem unit.

It'll crash if I try and have two of the problem unit (so one's captain and one's not)




It's an elephant mount, pretending to look like another large thing... but the skeleton used is a standard ele one for the mount, and I've tried changing the rider skeletons to no effect so far... I've managed to have things that didn't like being the captain unit before, but never this way round!


**************************
EDIT; apparently (started re-creating unit from scratch) It's the formations line in EDU !

it was;
formation 12, 19, 22, 27, 1, horde
which does the CTD if not captain thing to them...

formation 12, 19, 22, 27, 1, square
works.

anyone got any ideas why? Is there a limit to the type of units that can use 'horde'?

Horde is restricted to infantry I believe, eg peasants

[makanyane]

Third Age seems to have 'horde' formation for their Mumakil, which I suspect our entry was based off, due to a left behind ; Mumakil comment... that's a category 'cavalry' with mount 'elephant_cannon' and they also have it for their Wargs which looks like a cavalry/camel thing, I'm assuming if that didn't work someone would have noticed by now...

currently getting more confused about this one...

If it works there then I would think formatting error of that line, eg TAB instead of SPACE - earlier versions of Notepad++ were prone to that if their options were not set properly. I do remove trailing spaces from text files with it (except in modeldb) to avoid possible reading errors.
Were the numbers taken from TATW as well? Could be a minimum\maximum limit for that formation otherwise.
