Help with a small modding issue

[Hockey85]

Hey guys so I have never really played much Medieval 2, but have a ton of exp with modding RTW, and was trying to make a simple tweak now that I am playing TATW+MOS. This seems like it should be really simple for someone with modding exp but I keep getting crashes.

So all Im attempting to do is add the Galadhrim Guards (sword and board elven unit) to the Woodland Elves (sylvan) faction. I have read many guides as far as swapping units between factions for MTW2/TATW, and followed all the steps.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- export_descr_unit.txt - I found that under the faction codes for TATW the sylvan are "mongols" and the Lorien are "saxons" so all I need to do is add "mongols" to the correct unit like so:

ownership saxons, mongols
era 0 saxons, mongols
era 1 saxons, mongols
era 2 saxons, mongols
recruit_priority_offset 10


- export_descr_buildings.txt - Just need to make the unit able to be recruited by adding "mongols" as a faction for recruitment:

recruit_pool "aum Silvan Shieldsword" 1 0.07 1 2 requires factions { saxons, mongols, } and region_religion orthodox 75 and hidden_resource forest and not event_counter is_the_ai 1


- battle_models.modledb - This may be where I am messing up as I dont know what some of the numbers mean on some of the lines, but mine looks like this:

16 -0.090000004 0 0 -0.34999999 0.80000001 0.60000002
22 aum_silvan_shieldsword

4 None
14 MTW2_Swordsman 0
2
18 MTW2_Sword_Primary
14 fs_test_shield 0
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone tell me where I messed this up and how I can edit the values to make the game stop crashing. I of course backed the original files up and if I swap them back in the game runs fine, so we know I made a mistake that is causing the crash...... is there a function for -show err that could give me a log or something to show where the error has occured like in RTW???? I would really appreciate any help! Thanks!

You need to slap a 0 on the end of the second lines of the bottom two texture entries. Like so:

16 -0.090000004 0 0 -0.34999999 0.80000001 0.60000002
22 aum_silvan_shieldsword
1 1
55 unit_models/_Units/aum/aum_silvan_shieldsword_lod0.mesh 6400
2
6 saxons
51 unit_models/_Units/my_units/textures/silvan.texture
58 unit_models/_Units/my_units/textures/silvan_normal.texture
53 unit_sprites/saxons_aum_silvan_shieldsword_sprite.spr
7 mongols
51 unit_models/_Units/my_units/textures/silvan.texture
58 unit_models/_Units/my_units/textures/silvan_normal.texture
53 unit_sprites/saxons_aum_silvan_shieldsword_sprite.spr
2
6 saxons
62 unit_models/_Units/my_units/textures/silvan_attachment.texture
69 unit_models/_Units/my_units/textures/silvan_attachment_normal.texture 0
7 mongols
62 unit_models/_Units/my_units/textures/silvan_attachment.texture
69 unit_models/_Units/my_units/textures/silvan_attachment_normal.texture 0
0 <- Also I believe you *might* need to backspace this 0 out (though I'm not 100% on this; I've never used it there when I do BMDB stuff).
