How do I create my own units in the Assembly kit?

[Le_Swede]

Hello everyone, this question has probably already come up howerever I have yet to find an answer to how one makes new custom made units in the Assembly kit. If I'm posting this in the wrong place I apologise.

All I've manage to do so far is to create new units in the Variant Editor as "new definitions" (Dunno if I've even done this the correct way as I'm a total noob when it comes to modding). How do I go about making these units into new trooptypes I can use within the game?


Edit: I've thus far only managed to find this helpful thread http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-unit-with-PFM which to my understanding and attempts is not working the whole way for modifications within the Assembly Kit.


If the answer is already given in another thread perhaps some kind person could link me to it as I find it highly annoying being stuck where I'm at with this.

These three tutorials really helped me out when I first started a week ago, but you have to combine the methods shown in each of them to get your unit into the game:

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...mbly-Kit-Guide
And the third one is what you've already read up in the OP, so with all of these you should be good to go.

I'd make a simplified tutorial myself, but I simply lack the time to do so. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks, however I still can't find how to make my unitmeshes available in the different columns.

Edit: To clearify, I'm not after making new kinds of items. The thing I'm trying to do is to get the units I've set up in the Variant Editor availilbe as skins for (new) units.
Edit2: For example I have made a unit consisting of ethnically and culturally celtic roman legionnaries because I would love to play up the multicultural parts of the roman empire during my campaigns. I know how to create a new unit in DAVE's tables but I lack the knowledge to "import" the definitions I've saved in the variant editor.
