Unit cards crashes

[CapnPipsqueak]

Anyone able to help out? I'm able to load into the game, and the unit shows up in custom battles and campaign, but it crashes whenever the unit info card would be brought up.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Searching the thread it might be unit descriptions, but I've copied the CA structure and the unit name shows up on mouseover in custom battles.

Is this a modding question?

Is this a modding question?

Yes, this involves modding.

Hard to tell without knowing more about what you tried to do with this modded unit.

[CapnPipsqueak]

I made a copy of the Saurus Warriors, changing some of the stats and the mesh definiiton.

What tables did you change?

[CapnPipsqueak]

building_units_allowed
campaign_map_attrition_unit_immunities
cdir_military_generator_unit_qualities
land_units
main_units
melee_weapons
ui_unit_bullet_point_unit_overrides
unit_description_short_texts
unit_set_to_unit_junctions
unit_variants
units_custom_battle_permissions
units_to_groupings_military_permissions
variants

and the two text dbs that contain the unit name and short description.

are you using PFM or RPFM? With RPFM you have a nice feature: it displays in red referrence error. So with it you can see each table one by one, and see if you see red.
If it crashes when you try to display the unit information, it could be in ui_unit_bullet_point_unit_overrides.

if you start a custom battle, and it doesn't crash when zooming to the unnit (as long as you don't show the card), then the unit_variant, units_custom_battle_permissions, main_units, variants, etc should be OK (or it would crash sooner).

I'm using RPFM, but I'm not getting any errors. I've double-checked all the tables anyway just to be sure.

I can't get into a custom battle at all, as whenever I try and add the unit to the army, it crashes as the game automatically attempts to display the unit info card.

[Steph]

Can you post your pack? Maybe if I have a look at it, I could find something

[CapnPipsqueak]

Here you go.

pip_lzd_units.7z

With RPFM, land_unit table, the short description column is red.

wh2_pip_unit_short_text_lzd_saurus_veteran

while in the short description table, you have

wh2_pip_lzd_saurus_veteran

[CapnPipsqueak]

Okay, now it's working. For some reason RPFM isn't showing up with red errors, have I missed something when setting it up?

[Steph]

Maybe check in the preferences, I think it's an option you need to activate.

Found it. Thanks for your help.
