Can't use new-defined armour type in my db

[tangmac]

Hi, here is my question. I cloned a row in the unit_armour_types table and customized the new one. However, I cannot find this new armour type in the drop list when I was trying to give it on a unit in land_unit_table. How can I use my new armour type at this point? Thank you.

Save your mod. Close PFM, and open it up again. The list of armour types should refresh to include your new one.

It yet doesn't refresh for me.

I have same problem with weapons. Please someone reply to this guy.

if its is pfm then deactivate ude combo box.
and write the name of the item instead or just do as Augustusng said

[FoxXeL]

deactivate what? how can i deactivate ude combo box? also, in which order I should load the land_units and melee_weapons files in order for land_units to have my weapons in there?

[Augustusng]

He's talking about an option you should see when you open a table in PFM, "use combo box." Deactivate that option, and you should be able to type whatever you want into the table, rather than selecting from the choices.

As far as your other question: first, make your new weapon in the melee_weapons table, then save the mod. Close PFM; open it again. Load the mod, and you should have your new weapon in the combo box list as well.

[FoxXeL]

Yeah, sorry to bother you but it still doesn't work. Can you make a PFM mod where projectiles, melee_weapons and land_units are in the same mod please? maybe it will work this way. That, if I don't ask too much

[Augustusng]

What do projectiles have to do with it? You are talking about melee weapons, not missile weapons, right?

[FoxXeL]

Well, I want to change both. For range and melee. But I think if I'll make it work for melee I will be able to make it work for missile too.

[Augustusng]

Okay, but you'll also have to include the missile_weapons_to_projectiles table in that case, to actually assign your new projectiles to a weapon. Well, if you're making a new projectile, that is. If you're just editing existing ones you don't need it of course.

[FoxXeL]

OK, so, can you make a pack with all this included please and send it?

[Augustusng]

Fine. Just this once though. Do it yourself next time. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to do this, unless you're making a mistake somewhere in the process. One of Magnar's tutorial videos might help (its for Rome 2, but everything's the same for Attila).

I will surely do it myself, I just want to know where I do that mistake, it's driving me crazy man, really.. I am almost sure I do it all right but it seems it's either a bug with PFM either I don't know how to use it. I am using PFM latest version 1.3.2 I think... thank you so much

[FoxXeL]

Ok, thank to that tutorial I know what I did wrong. Basically when I was adding the packs I was going file-> new-> then, right click on untitled.pack and i was choosing <Directory>, I was adding the files one by one instead of adding them at the same time(I think that created a connection between them). Thank you so much, man.
