Ok i love RTR as much as anyone but i realy want to play as the senate. I know how to put them into the campaign map and so on but my computer says it cant find the texture for a unit eg Principe in custom battles. Why is this happening? I dont know if its suposed to happen or not but is there a way around it?

You give too little details for anyone to be able to help you. Do you mean that the engine looks for a texture that is not mentioned in DMB? If so then the problem is somewhere else. Sometimes, when a mistake is made in one of those text files, the game gives an error for a non existing texture.

k sorry for my lack of details but this is what happens iwant to play as the scipii, brutii or senate. In a custom battle.(by the way ive put the -show_err thing on) I then wish to play with the brutii and i pick a group of Pricipes. The custom battle loads but then crashes and the error could not find texture roma_rome_principe.tga. I had a look in the models_battle file and the thing looks like this

type roman_principes
skeleton fs_javelinman, fs_swordsman
indiv_range 40
texture romans_julii, data/RTR/models_unit/textures/roma_rome_principe.tga
texture romans_brutii, data/RTR/models_unit/textures/roma_rome_principes.tga
texture romans_scipii, data/RTR/models_unit/textures/roma_rome_principes.tga
texture romans_senate, data/RTR/models_unit/textures/roma_rome_principes.tga
model_flexi_m data/RTR/models_unit/roma_principe_high.cas, 15
model_flexi_m data/RTR/models_unit/roma_principe_med.cas, 30
model_flexi_m data/RTR/models_unit/roma_principe_low.cas, 40
model_flexi data/RTR/models_unit/roma_principe_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite romans_senate, 60.0, data/RTR/sprites/rome_principes_sprite.spr
model_sprite romans_scipii, 60.0, data/RTR/sprites/rome_principes_sprite.spr
model_sprite romans_brutii, 60.0, data/RTR/sprites/rome_principes_sprite.spr
model_sprite romans_julii, 60.0, data/RTR/sprites/romans_julii_roman_principes_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

all the textures are the same with all the factions as you can see. So i thought there isnt a problem here. I play as the Julii and it works so why is it not working with the other factions???

I hope ive explained myself enough

As florin80 said, when the game engine reports it cannot find a texture that isn't mentioned in the DMB, it means there is something wrong with one of your text files.

There's no way to actually tell what's wrong either, just backtrack the work you've done and try to find mistakes. Minmerge may help you with this, it compares to text files and is freely available on the internet (at least for free trial i think).

The problem with the error message was discovered a little while ago, usually it means there's either a duplicate or a spelling mistake in one of the text files you've edited; though I don't think it's yet known the full extent of what this error message actually means!
