Captain/General pics screwed up on pre-battle screen

[boofhead]

Hi all

The new ExRM for RTRPE 1.8 has a problem with general pics / captain flags on the pre-battle screen for one faction only - Epirus.

Instead of a general's face or captain's banner you get different things at different times - either a unit, or a building, or half one pic and half another pic. It is as though a whole heap of pics are sliding across in the background, and if you exit the pre-battle screen then return to it you get a different pic almost every time.

Do any of you master modders here know what the problem might be? Or even more importantly, how to fix it?

I mentioned it a few weeks back in the ExRM thread over there but nobody seems to know how to fix it.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I've managed to do that sort of thing twice to myself in EoD development.

Once was when trying to put the UI/culture/cities icons directly into the mod_folder - it seriously didn't like that and did the random thing with all the other graphics (they work either in RTW/data or if packed in mod_0.pak though). That sort of thing would probably only apply if Epirus was only faction in the culture though? otherwise I'd expect others to be effected.

Other one I didn't entirely pin down but seemed to be related to trying to continue a saved game after changing some portrait stuff etc...

Thanks makanyane that is a starter - I will pass the info on.

The general pics are Greek ones - I've never seen the problem with Greece or Macedon though, and others tell me it is only with Epirus....

EDIT: I just noticed that in UI/Units all the unit cards for every faction are in 3 columns for all factions except "MERCS" and "EPIRUS" in which they are 10 columns wide (I refer to the camera icons used by Microsoft Digital Image). I am a PC ignoramus - could this possibly be something to do with it?

EDIT2: I think I may have fixed it by right-clicking on the Epirus unit cards page and changing the "View" option from "Icons" to "Tiles"!!!!!
