Pack file not working, can someone point me to the right direction

**baozi** · December 17, 2015, 04:51 AM

Recently I've been modding to replace the white huns with a chinese faction
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...mpire-of-China

I've done a bunch of reskins and now I'm implementing these units into the white huns roster. I downloaded a unit addition mod and edited along. I've done the major tables but the game would not load past the attila screen. Would any veteran modder be so kind and take a look at my pack file and point me to the right direction?

Here is the pack file:

Also, is there a way to REMOVE units from a faction?

Any help is appreciated, thank you

I've requested permission to look at your pack file. I'm not that experienced but I am doing basically the same thing with the Visigoths faction. Adding new units and deleting the vanilla ones.

I know that to delete units you need two tables. "units_custom_battle_permissions" and "units_to_groupings_military_permissions". Just delete the entry for units you want to delete. Note well though that the tables you amended must replace the vanilla tables so don't rename them to something like "daniel_units_custom_battle_permissions". I hope this helps.

units_custom_battle permissions - deleting entries from this table will remove units from the Custom Battle mode.

units_groupings_military_permissions - deleteing entries from this table will remove units from the Campaign play.

Also could you help me with something? I don't seem to be able to add unit names. They all just appear blank. Could you tell me how you did yours and if the name appear ingame? I've been modding everywhere from unit_description_short_texts_tables to land_units.loc and I still cant seem to add the name ingame. Quid Pro Quo?

Okay I managed to get it to work. You cant "Add New Row" you have to "Clone Current Row". Thanks very much for your help.

hey man, glad you figured it out and yeah, you have to clone rows. In my understanding, the description text you are talking about is actually the well, unit description. It's the short version when you hover over unit recruitment. From the mods I've looked at I gather the table you have to edit for unit name is actually land_units.loc under db in the TEXT tab. which I just realize might be the issue with my mod pack

Also I changed the link in the first post so It should be accessible. Hope it helps and thanks for your assistance!

I've downloaded your pack. I'll have a look at it tommorrow. But what you can do is try removing each table and start running the game. So you can find out which table is causing the crash. I'll probably be starting to do the same thing tommorrow.
