Making units available for customs battles for other factions

[Angmar_nite]

How can I make some units available for other faction's custom battles? I tried to change the unit ownerships but when the unit appeared under hte new factions units, the unit card was gone and i got a CTD. (Since I,m using FATW the ctd could simply be a unit in the edu not done)

Any help please?

as general principal to share other factions units, add ownership in EDU which you have done, to get unit cards go to UI/units/faction folders and copy the ones you want from the faction that already has them into other factions folder. In EDU look up the soldier line for the unit you want i.e.

type dunland axemen levies
dictionary 4a_dunland_axe_levies ; Dunlendish Axemen Levies
category infantry
class light
voice_type Medium_1
soldier 4a_dunland_axe

find that soldier in descr_model_battle.txt and add new texture line for the factions you are adding to the units ownership, e.g:

type 4a_dunland_axe ; testing new axeman with javelins
skeleton fs_javelinman, fs_axeman
indiv_range 40
texture celts, bi/ci/data/models_unit/textures/4a_dunland_axe2.TGA
texture franks, bi/ci/data/models_unit/textures/4a_dunland_axe2.TGA
texture huns, bi/ci/data/models_unit/textures/4a_dunland_axe2.TGA
texture sassanids, bi/ci/data/models_unit/textures/4a_dunland_axe2.TGA
texture slave, bi/ci/data/models_unit/textures/4a_dunland_axe2.TGA
texture merc, bi/ci/data/models_unit/textures/4a_dunland_axe2.TGA
model_flexi bi/ci/data/models_unit/4a_dunland_axe2_high.cas, 8
model_flexi bi/ci/data/models_unit/4a_dunland_axe2_high.cas, 15
model_flexi bi/ci/data/models_unit/4a_dunland_axe2_high.cas, 30
model_flexi bi/ci/data/models_unit/4a_dunland_axe2_high.cas, max
model_sprite 60.0, bi/ci/data/sprites/sprites_new/4a_dunland_axe_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f
