Chaos Varanguard custom units mod

[calsash]

Ive been trying to make a Varanguard mod but its been making my game crash when it gets to the Total War Warhammer scene before the cutscenes and menu, earlier I had it so you could go into custom battle and you could see the unit in the Chaos roster but when you clicked on it the game would crash does anyone know why this is?
This is the mod here if people want to look: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile.../?id=696456498

No offense guy, but I don't really want to subscribe to your mod to work out what's going wrong with it. Also, why is a mod that just adds a unit 40mb? That seems excessive. Perhaps if you can post a list of the tables/files in your .pack, someone might be able to give you somewhere to start.

The file size is 42kb and the photo is 2mb. As for the list of tables:
If there is anything else people need to see or so on then let me know I will send you photos. This is my first attempt at modding so I am really stuck I have watched and read a few tutorials on how to create units using PFM and I followed all the steps but it still crashes and I dont know why.

You left your tables named data_core, they are overwriting the vanilla tables, so your new unit is the only one that's loading in the whole game, which of course crashes everything when the game tries to load the units. Name them all something else like cv_core.

I changed them all and the game now launches, but If I go into a chaos campaing or custom battle the unit shows up but if I click on the varanguard the game stops responding and crashes. So this is progress and thanks for letting me know about that but why would it be crashing because i have checked for typos and there are none.

I am literally encountering the EXACT same problem, when i click on my new unit to add it to the army in a custom battle, my game crashes, although the unit does show up with its correct name and whatnot.
What i have also found is that it does this even worse in the campaign, as simply scrolling over the unit causes a crash then.
Prior to finishing my mod i was able to add the unit in a custom battle, but its was basically a copy of another base game unit, after finishing it, i still had it in the custom battle army, and was able to start the fight and use the unit, but was still unable to select it and add more to my army withought it crashing, so it seems that the unit works in game, but something about selecting it or scrolling over it is causing the crash o.O.
Please let me know if you find anything out, as i love modding and want to add unit variety for everyone who loves this game!

Exactly If anyone can just find out why it does this for people like us it would be really useful

I'm not adding new units right now, so I haven't got an easy answer for you. My suggestion would be to use the Schema in TWeak, as well as the global search tool, to try to chase down as many references to a similar vanilla unit as you can. It's likely you've forgotten to set something somewhere, and when the game tries to reference it, it finds nothing and crashes.

Unfortunatly this is what i have been using to try and track down this issue, ive gone through file by file and made sure that every single reference leads somewhere.
I mean obviously ive got something wrong in this thing, but ive gone over it atleast 10 times, line by line, checking for any mistake i can find, i just cant seem to find it anywhere :[.
If you would like to take a look at it, or know anyone with some more knowledge on the subject, here is a link to my mod http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile.../?id=697551221

I'm trying to add State Troop Bowmen to my modpack, to test this, and I am running into the same problem. I've added it everywhere I can think of, and apart from only having a placeholder unit card, I can't think of anything else to try. If I figure it out, I'll let you know, and if you manage to get a new unit working in the game, please let me know, and I'll try to put together a tutorial or something.
